FCC NOTICE
• MU-42PZ11/A/B/G/K/S : A Class A digital device
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant
to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates,
uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equip-
ment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to
correct the interference at his own expense.
• MU-42PZ15/A/B/G/K/S : A Class B digital device
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant
to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference
to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can
be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interfer-
ence by one or more of the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Colored dots on the screen
A PDP (Plasma Display Panel), depending on its size, contains from 0.9 to 2.2 million individual
cells. Even with advanced technology it is inevitable that a few defective cells may be found in
the PDP. These defective cells may be visible as colored dots. We continually strive to minimize
the number of defective cells but the existence of a few such defects will not be considered as
sufficient reason for exchange or refund.
Earth wire should be connected.
- If the earth wire is not connected, there is possible a danger of electric shock caused by the
current leakage.
- If grounding methods are not possible, a separate circuit breaker should be employed and
installed by a qualified electrician.
- Do not connect ground to telephone wires, lightning rods or gas pipe.
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE AND ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS PROD-
UCT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
Power supply cord/appliance coupler is used as the main disconnect device, and as
such shall be easily accessible after installation.

16. Power Lines
13. Power-Cord Protection
An outside antenna system should not be
located in the vicinity of overhead power
lines or other electric light or power circuits,
or where it can fall into such power lines or
circuits. When installing an outside antenna
system, extreme care should be taken to
keep from touching such power lines or cir-
cuits as contact with them might be fatal.
Power-supply cords should be routed so
that they are not likely to be walked on or
pinched by items placed upon or against
them, paying particular attention to cords at
plugs, convenience receptacles, and the
point where they exit from the product.

If an outside antenna or cable system is
connected to the product, be sure the
antenna or cable system is grounded so as
to provide some protection against voltage
surges and built-up static charges. Article

Monitor Installation
- It is recommended that this product only be used at an altitude of less than 6562 feet
(2000m) to get the best quality picture and sound.
- This plasma display is designed to be mounted horizontally (wide viewing).
- Your MU-42PZ11/15 series models (Monitor) can be installed on a wall as shown below,
or on a desktop pedestal as shown on the next page. Wall mount and stands are
optional, and are not supplied with the monitor.
Wall Mount Installation
• The monitor can be installed on the wall as shown above.
(For further information, refer to the optional ‘(Tilt) wall mounting bracket
Installation and Setup Guide’.)
• Speakers are optional, and shown for illustration only.
Tips
• Install this monitor only in a location where adequate ventilation is available.

VCR Setup
- As shown below, when connecting the Monitor to a VCR, match the colors of AV input
jacks on the Monitor with the output jacks on the VCR: Video = yellow, Audio (Left) =
white, Audio (Right) = red.
- If you have a mono VCR, connect the audio cable from the VCR to the AUDIO(L/MONO)
input of the Plasma Monitor.
- If you connect an S-VIDEO VCR to the S-VIDEO input, the picture quality is improved,
compared to connecting a regular VCR to the Video input.
- Avoid having a fixed image remain on the screen for a long period of time. A frozen still
picture from a VCR (or if a CH label is displayed) displayed on the screen for prolonged
periods will result in an image ghost remaining even when you change the image. Avoid
prolonged display of a still image.

Wire the 7-Wire cable so that each pair of data lines cross between the two devices. These data line pairs
are RXD (Receive data) and TXD (Transmit data), DTR (DTE side ready) and DSR (DCE side ready), and
RTS (Ready to send) and CTS (Clear to send).
When using the 3-Wire cable connected to RXD, TXD and GND; Pin No. 4 (DTR) and Pin No. 6 (DSR) must
be connected to the monitor. (The cable must be disconnected from the Monitor to be able to use the remote
control and Monitor front panel controls.)
With the RS-232 input connected, the Monitor cannot be controlled by both an external control device and
the remote control at the same time. The Monitor can only be controlled by either the remote control or the
external control device.

Control line
7-Wire Cable Configuration
3-Wire Cable Configuration
• The Monitor is available to switch between external
adjustment and remote control adjustment using a
control line.
Note: If the control line is high, the monitor is con-
trolled by the external control device. If the control
line is low, the Monitor is controlled by the Monitor's
remote control.
• When using a 3-Wire cable configuration there is no
control line. The external control device must put the
Monitor into the "change into remote control adjust-
ment mode" (see page 52). The Monitor will then be
able to be controlled by the remote control. If the
Monitor is turned back on, it will revert back to exter-
nal device control.

Maintenance
- Early malfunction can be prevented. Careful and regular cleaning can extend the amount of
time you will have with your new Monitor. 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 Monitor.
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 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.
53
Troubleshooting check list
• Check whether the Monitor is turned on.
No picture &
• Power cord inserted into wall outlet?
No sound
• Plug another product’s power cord into the wall outlet where
the Monitor’s power cord was plugged in.
• Press the VOLUME (G ) button.
Picture OK &
No sound
• Sound muted? Press MUTE button.
• Check to see if there is any object between the Plasma
Display and the remote control causing obstruction.
The remote control
doesn’t work
• Check to see if the batteries are installed with the correct
polarities. (Refer to p.29)
• Install new batteries. (Refer to p.29)
• Select COLOR in the PICTURE menu and press the VOL-
UME (G ) button. (Refer to p.35)
No or Poor color
or Poor picture
• Increase the distance between the Monitor and the VCR.
• Activate any function to restore the brightness of the picture.
(If still picture is on the screen for more than 5 minutes, the
screen gets dark.)
No output from one
of the speakers
• Adjust BALANCE in the SOUND menu. (Refer to p.37)
