  • A nameplate indicating operating voltage, power consumption, etc. is located on the back of the unit.
  • Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet, unplug the unit and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.
  • Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if it is not to be used for several days or more.
  • To disconnect the AC power cord, pull it out by grasping the plug. Never pull the cord itself.
  • When the unit is installed on the floor, be sure to use the optional stand. On installation
  • Allow adequate air circulation to prevent internal heat build-up. Do not place the unit on surfaces (rugs, blankets, etc.) or near materials (curtains, draperies) that may block the ventilation holes.
  • Do not install the unit in a location near heat sources such as radiators or air ducts, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibration or shock.
  • When you install multiple equipment with the unit, the following problems, such as malfunction of the Remote Commander, noisy picture, noisy sound, may occur depending on the position of the unit and other equipment. On the PDP (Plasma Display Panel)
  • The plasma display panel is manufactured using extremely high precision technology. However, black points may appear or may be seen on the screen, or bright points (white, red, blue or green) may remain on the screen, or some striped or color irregularities may be seen. These are not malfunctions.
  • If you continue to display the same image on the screen for a long period of time, part of that image may burn into a part of the panel, and leave a ghosting image behind. If you display the same image for a long period of time, to avoid burning this image into the panel, use the screen function provided, displaying it over the entire screen. If ghosting occurs, use the screen saver function, or use some kind of video or imaging software to provide constant movement on the screen. If light ghosting (image burn-in) occurs, it may become less conspicuous, but once burn-in occurs, it will never completely disappear.
  • Because of the way it is made, when this plasma display panel is used in places with low air pressure, such as at high altitudes, a buzzing or humming noise may emanate from the unit. On cleaning To keep the unit looking brand-new, periodically clean it with a mild detergent solution. Never use strong solvents such as thinner or benzine, or abrasive cleansers since these will damage the cabinet. As a safety precaution, unplug the unit before cleaning it. On repacking Do not throw away the carton and packing materials. They make an ideal container in which to transport the unit. When shipping the unit to another location, repack it as illustrated on the carton. If you have any questions about this unit, contact your authorized Sony dealer.6 (GB) Features Features The PFM-42B1/42B2/42B1E/42B2E series are 16:9 42-inch flat panel displays utilizing a PDP (Plasma Display Panel), which can accept various types of signals with the built-in scan converter.

Notes

  • When inputting an HDTV signal, input the tri-level sync signal to the 2nd pin of the INPUT1 or INPUT2 (D-sub 15-pin) connector.
  • When inputting a computer signal at the resolution shown in item No. 29, set H SIZE, H SHIFT, V SIZE and V SHIFT to the standard (00) and set ZOOM to ×1 in the PIC SIZE menu, or the picture might oscillate.
  • If the image color is too light after inputting the DVD signal in the PFM-42B1/42B1E, adjust the color in the “CHROMA” setting in the PIC CONTROL menu. In the PFM-42B2/42B2E, select “SMPTE” in YUV LEVEL in the CONFIG menu.
  • For 480/60p, input it using a YUV signal. If you input an RGB signal, the system will determine the frequency to be a VGA signal, it will display at 31.5kHz/59.9Hz, the screen phase will be off, and compared to YUV input, the resolution will be reduced. To address problems with screen phase, use the H SHIFT and V SHIFT items on the Signal Adjustment menu, or use the H SHIFT, V SHIFT and SELECT buttons on the RM-42B Remote Commander to make the necessary adjustments.
