Introduction

What is a Plasma Display Panel (PDP)?

A plasma display panel is the latest display technology. It is currently the best way to achieve flat panel displays with excellent

image quality and large screen sizes, that are easily viewable. The PDP can be thought of as a descendant of the neon lamp and

it can be also be viewed as a series of fluorescent lamps.

How does it work?

PDP is an array of cells, known as pixels, which are comprised of 3 sub pixels, corresponding to the colors red, green, and blue.

Gas in a plasma state is used to react with phosphors in each sub-pixel to produce colored light (red, green, or blue). These phos-

phors are the same types used in Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) devices such as televisions and common computer monitors.

You get the rich, dynamic colors that you expect. Each sub-pixel is individually controlled by advanced electronics to produce over

16 million different colors. All of this means that you get perfect images that are easily viewable in a display that is less than 5

inches thick.

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 anywhere in the room who can see the screen.

Wide Screen

The screen of the Plasma Display is so wide 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 will not

fit.

The PDP Manufacturing Process: a few 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 tiny, minute colored dots visible on the screen should be

acceptable. This also occurs in other PDP manufacturers' products. The tiny dots appearing does not mean that this PDP is defec-

tive. Thus a few cell defects are not sufficient cause for the PDP to be exchanged or returned. Our production technology mini-

mizes these cell defects during the manufacture and operation of this product.

Cooling Fan Noise (RU-50PX10/11/20 only)

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 operat-

ing 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 suffi-

cient cause for the PDP to be exchanged or returned.

Closed Captions

Closed captioning is a process which converts the audio portion

of a television program into written words which then appear as

subtitles on the television screen. Closed captions allow viewers

to read the dialogue and narration of television programs.

1. Poor reception conditions are encountered:

• IGNITION:

Picture may flutter, drift, suffer from black

spots, or horizontal streaking. Usually

caused by interference from automobile

ignition systems, neon lamps, electrical

drills, and other electrical appliances.

Using Closed Captions

Captions are the subtitles of the dialogue and narration of tele-

vision programs. For prerecorded programs, program dialogue

can be arranged into captions in advance. Its possible to caption

a live program by using a process called real-time captioning,

which creates captions instantly. Real-time captioning is nor-

mally done by professional reporters using a machine shorthand

system and computer for trans-

• GHOSTS:

Ghosts are caused when the TV signal

splits and follows two paths. One is the

direct path and the other is reflected off

tall buildings, hills or other objects.

Changing the direction or position of the

antenna may improve reception.

lation into English.

Captioning is an effective sys-

tem for the hearing-impaired,

and it can also aid in teaching

language skills.

• SNOW:

If your receiver is located at the weak,

fringe area of a TV signal, your picture

may be marred by small dots. It may be

necessary to install a special antenna to

improve the picture.

• The picture at left shows a

typical caption.

Caption Tips

2. An old, bad, or illegally recorded tape is being played.

3. Strong, random signals from a car or airplane interfere with

the TV signal.

4. The signal from the antenna is weak.

5. The program wasn’t captioned when it was produced, trans-

mitted, or taped.

• Not all TV broadcasts include closed caption signals.

• Sometimes TV stations broadcast four different caption sig-

nals on the same channel. By selecting CC 1 to CC 2, you

can choose which signal you view. CC 1 is usually the signal

with the captions, while Another mode might show demon-

stration or programming information.

• Your TV might not receive caption signals normally in the fol-

lowing situations.

Maintenance & Specification

Maintenance

- Early malfunctions can be prevented. Careful and regular cleaning can extend the amount of time you will have your

new TV. Be sure to turn the power off and unplug the power cord before you begin any cleaning.

Cleaning the Screen

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 TV.

Cleaning the Cabinet

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 TV 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.
