Introduction

What is a Plasma Display Panel (PDP)?

If voltage is applied to gas within glass panels, ultraviolet rays are produced and fused with a fluorescent substance. At that instant, light is emitted. A Plasma Display is a next generation flat Display using this phenomenon.

160° - Wide angle range of vision

Your flat panel plasma screen offers an exceptionally broad viewing angle -- over 160 degrees. This means that the display is clear and visible to viewers who can see the screen anywhere in the room.

Wide Screen

The screen of the Plasma Display is wide so that your viewing experience is as if you are in a theater.

Multimedia

Connect your plasma display to a PC and you can use it for conferencing, games, and internet browsing. The Picture-in-Picture feature allows you to view your PC and video images simultaneously.

Versatile

The light weight and thin size makes it easy to install your plasma display in a variety of locations where conventional TVs would not fit.

The PDP Manufacturing Process: Why minute colored dots may be present on the PDP screen

The PDP (Plasma Display Panel) which is the display device of this product is composed of 0.9 to 2.2 million cells. A few cell defects will normally occur in the PDP manufacturing process. Several minute colored dots visible on the screen should be acceptable. This also occurs in other PDP manufacturers' products and the tiny dots appearing does not mean that this PDP is defective.

Thus a few cell defects are not sufficient cause for the PDP to be exchanged or returned. Our production technology is designed to minimize cell defects during the manufacture and operation of this product.

Cooling Fan Noise

In the same way that a fan is used in a PC computer to keep the CPU (Central Processing Unit) cool, the PDP is equipped with cooling fans to cool the Monitor and improve its reliability. Therefore, a certain level of noise could occur while the fans are operating and cooling the PDP.

The fan noise doesn't have any negative effect on the PDP's efficiency or reliability. The noise from these fans is normal during the operation of this product. We hope you understand that a certain level of noise from the cooling fans is acceptable and is not sufficient cause for the PDP to be exchanged or returned.

2. Use the Monitor’s RGB INPUT or DVI (Digital

Visual Interface) INPUT port for video connections, depending on your PC connector.

• If the graphic card on the PC does not output analog and digital RGB simultaneously, connect only one of either RGB INPUT or DVI INPUT to display the PC on the monitor.

• If the graphic card on the PC does output analog and digital RGB simultaneously, set the Monitor to either RGB or DVI; (the other mode is set to

Plug and Play automatically by the monitor.)

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

3. Use INPUT SELECT on the remote control to select RGB, or DVI source.

4. Check the image on your monitor. There may be noise associated with the resolution, vertical pattern, contrast or brightness in

PC mode. If noise is present, change the PC mode to another resolution, change the refresh rate to another rate or adjust the brightness and contrast on the menu until the picture is clear. If the refresh rate of the PC graphic card can not be changed, change the PC graphic card or consult the manufacturer of the PC graphic card.

NOTES: • Use a DVI cable.

• Avoid keeping a fixed image on the monitor's screen for a long period of time. The fixed image may become permanently imprinted on the screen. Use the Orbiter screen saver when possible.

• The synchronization input form for Horizontal and Vertical frequencies is separate.

• Are batteries installed with correct polarity (+ to +, - to -)?

(Refer to p.9)

• Correct remote operating mode set: Monitor, VCR etc.?

• Install new batteries. (Refer to p.9)

Horizontal/vertical bars or picture shaking

• Check for local interference such as an electrical appliance or power tool.

No output from one of the speakers

• Adjust Balance in the Sound menu. (Refer to p.21)

Unusual sound from inside the MONITOR

• A change in ambient humidity or temperature may result in an unusual noise when the plasma display is turned on or off and does not indicate a fault with the Monitor.


Maintenance & Specification

- Early malfunctions can be prevented. Careful and regular cleaning can extend the amount of time you will have your new Monitor. Be sure to turn the power off and unplug the power cord before you begin any cleaning.

1. Here’s a great way to keep the dust off your screen for a while. Wet a soft cloth in a mixture of lukewarm water and a little fabric softener or dish washing detergent. Wring the cloth until it’s almost dry, and then use it to wipe the screen.

2. Make sure the excess water is off the screen, and then let it air-dry before you turn on your Monitor.

To remove dirt or dust, wipe the cabinet with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth.

Please be sure not to use a wet cloth.

Extended Absence

If you expect to leave your Monitor dormant for a long time (such as a vacation), it’s a good idea to unplug the power cord to protect against possible damage from lightning or power surges.
