Notes

Do not display a still picture for a long time

This causes the image to remain on the plasma screen (“image retention”).

This is not considered a malfunction and is not covered by the warranty.

Typical still images

Channel number and other logos

Image displayed in 4:3 mode

Video game

Computer image

To prevent image retention, contrast is lowered automatically after a few minutes if no signals are sent or no operations are performed. (p. 36)

Note

•

If the stereo signal is poor or the receiving conditions are not optimum or if STEREO:MONO automatic switching

• occurs, it is recommended you switch from STEREO to MONO.

Even when the contents of the receiving signal undergo changes, selection mode is kept intact.

When the receiving conditions deteriorate, listening will be easier if the mode is set to the MONO position, using the stereo / bilingual sound selection button.

•

DUAL, also known as DUAL MONO or as BILINGUAL is not currently transmitted in some countries.

HDMI connection

HDMI (high-de fi nition multimedia interface) allows you to enjoy high-de fi nition digital images and highquality sound by connecting the TV and the equipment.

HDMI-compatible equipment ( 1) with an HDMI or DVI output terminal, such as a set top box or a DVD player, can be connected to the HDMI terminal using an HDMI compliant (fully wired) cable.

About connections, see “External Equipment” (p. 30).

•

Note

HDMI is the world’s fi rst complete digital consumer AV interface complying with a non-compression standard.

•

If the external equipment has only a DVI output, connect to the HDMI terminal via a DVI to HDMI adapter cable ( 2).

When the DVI to HDMI adapter cable is used, connect the audio cable to the audio input terminal (HDMI: use

• AUDIO IN terminals).

Audio settings can be made on the “HDMI Input” menu screen. (p. 20) •

Applicable audio signal sampling frequencies (2ch L.PCM): 48 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 32 kHz

Use with a PC is not assumed.

•

If the connected equipment has an aspect adjustment function, set the aspect ratio to “16:9”.

This HDMI connector is “type A”.

•

This HDMI connector is compatible with HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection) copyright protection.

An equipment having no digital output terminal may be connected to the input terminal of either “Component”,

“S-VIDEO”, or “Video” to receive analogue signals.

•

The HDMI input terminal can be used with only the following image signals:

480i, 480p, 576i, 576p, 720p, 1080i and 1080p. Match the output setting of the digital equipment.

•

For details of the applicable HDMI signals, see p. 35.

( 1): The HDMI logo is displayed on HDMI-compliant equipment.

( 2): Enquire at your local digital equipment retailer shop.

PC connection

A PC may be connected to this TV so that the PC screen is displayed and sound is heard from the TV.

•

PC signals that can be inputted: Horizontal scanning frequency 31 to 69 kHz; vertical scanning frequency

59 to 86 Hz (more than 1,024 signal lines could result in incorrect display of the image).

•

A PC adapter is not necessary for the DOS/V-compliant D-sub 15-pin connector.

•

Note

Some PC models cannot be connected to this TV.

•

When using PC, set the colour display quality of PC to the highest position.

For details of the applicable PC signals, see below.
