Introduction

What is a Plasma Display?

If voltage is inputted to gas in glass panels, ultraviolet rays are outputted and fused with a fluorescent substance. At this moment, light is emitted. A Plasma Display is a next generation flat Display using this phenomenon.

160° - Wide angle range of vision

A Plasma Display provides more than 160° angle range of vision so that you can get a picture without distortion from any direction.

Easy installation

A Plasma Display is much lighter and smaller than other same class products so that you can install the Plasma Display at the desired place.

Big screen

The screen of a Plasma Display is 42" (or 50") so that you can get vivid experience as if you are in a theater.

Multimedia Plasma Display

A Plasma Display can be connected with a computer so that you can use it as a screen for conference, game, internet and so on.

The explanation about coloured dots may be present on PDP screen

The PDP which is the display device of this product is composed of 0.9 to 2.2 million cells and a few cell defects can occur in the manufacture of the PDP. Several coloured dots visible on the screen would be acceptable, in line with other PDP manufacturers and would not mean that the PDP is faulty. We hope you will understand that the product which corresponds to this standard is regarded as acceptable. It means that it could not be changed or refunded. We promise that we'll do our best to develop our technology to minimize the cell defects.

The explanation about noise of PDP (option)

In the same way that a fan is used in a PC to keep the CPU cool, the PDP is equipped with cooling fans to improve the reliability of this product. Therefore, a certain level of noise could occur when the fan is operated. This noise doesn't have any negative effect on its efficiency and reliability and it's also determined to have no difficulty while using this product. The noise from the fans is normal in the operation of this product. We hope you will understand that a certain level of noise is acceptable. It means that it is not changeable nor refundable.

TO AVOID BURNING IMAGE INTO THE DISPLAY, DO NOT HAVE A STILL IMAGE ON SCREEN FOR EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME. IMAGE AFTER BURN WILL NOT BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY ie. Menus, Video games, Borders or LOGOS

WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE AND ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS PRODUCT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.

  • HDMI™, the HDMI logo and High-Definition Multimedia Interface are trademarks or registered trademarks of HDMI Licensing.
  • This set can receive the High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) or Input of Digital Visual Interface (DVI).
  • This set supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Contents Protection) Protocol for the set (480p, 720p, 1080i) modes.
  • When you connect to HDMI/DVI Source devices (DVD Player, STB or PC) that support AUTO HDMI/DVI Plug & Play, this sets the HDMI/DVI source devices automatically. After reading HDMI/DVI source devices, using Display Data Channel (DDC) Protocol, Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) stored in the set is used. If HDMI/DVI Source devices do not support AUTO HDMI/DVI, the resolution is set manually.
  • When Source Devices have DVI Output Connector, you must connect audio with a separate cable. (Refer to )

How to connect

  1. When Source Devices (DVD Player or Set Top Box) support HDMI.
  2. If Source Devices have HDMI Output Connector, connect them to the set with an HDMI Cable (not supplied with the product).
  3. If Source Devices support Auto HDMI, they automatically divert output resolution to 1280 x 720p. But if not, refer to the reference Manual of Source Devices and select resolution manually.
  4. To get the best picture quality, adjust the DVD Player or Set Top Box output resolution to 1280 x 720p.
  5. Because HDMI sends Digital Video and Audio with one cable, there is no need for a special Audio Cable when using an HDMI Cable.
  6. When Source Devices (DVD Player or Set Top Box) support DVI.
  7. If Source Devices have DVI Output Connector, connect them to the set with an HDMI to DVI Cable (not supplied with the product).
  8. If Source Devices support Auto DVI, they automatically divert output resolution to 1280 x 720p. But if not, refer to the reference Manual of Source Devices and select resolution manually.
  9. To get the best picture quality, adjust the DVD Player or Set Top Box output resolution to 1280 x 720p.
  10. In this case, use another cable for audio. When Source Devices have Analog Audio Output Connector, connect the RGB/DVI Audio Input of the set to an Audio Cable (not supplied with the product). Then you can listen to normal audio.
  11. When PC supports DVI.

- If the PC has a DVI Output Connector, connect the Source Devices to the set with an HDMI to DVI Cable (not supplied with the product).

- To get the best picture quality, adjust the PC graphics card to 1024 x 768, 60Hz.

- Use the set's HDMI/DVI (VIDEO) for video connections, depending on your PC connector.

- If the graphics card on the PC does not output analog RGB and DVI simultaneously, connect only one of either RGB Input or HDMI/DVI Input to display the PC on the set.

- If the graphics card on the PC does output analog RGB and DVI simultaneously, the set will set the other mode to Plug and Play automatically.

- Then, make the corresponding audio connections. If using a sound card, adjust the PC sound as required.

- In this case, use another cable for audio. When the PC (or sound card of PC) has an Analog Audio Output Connector, connect the RGB/DVI Audio Input of the set to an Analog Audio Cable (not supplied with the product). Then you can listen to normal audio.

Programming a code into a remote mode

  1. To find out whether your remote can operate the device without programming, turn on the device such as a VCR and press the corresponding mode button on the remote. After that, press the POWER button. If the device is turned off then it responds properly and the remote need not be programmed. If not, the remote should be programmed to operate the device. The programming procedures are explained below.
  2. Press the MENU and MUTE buttons continuously at the same time for 2 seconds, the current selected device button will be illuminated. If you don't press any button for 20 seconds, the light on the mode button will be turned off. In that case, you have to repeat from step 2.
  3. Enter code numbers using the number buttons on the remote by referring to the code table on the following pages. When pressing the button, the light blinks at a time. If the device turned off, the programming is successful.
  4. Press the MENU button to store the code. After blinking twice, this code is stored.
  5. Test the remote functions to see if the device responds properly. If not, repeat from step 2.
