IV
PRECAUTIONS
• Installation environment
Do not obstruct a ventilation hole.
Do not put the monitor on carpet or blanket, or near a curtain which has a possibility of
obstructing a ventilation hole of the monitor.
Do not put the monitor in the following places.
• Hot places such as near heater, place exposed to the direct rays of the sun.
• A place where the temperature is widely changing.
• Places with soot, dust or high humidity.
• Poor air ventilation place.
• Place near fire.
• A wet place such as bathroom, or shower room.
• Place where you can trip over it.
• Always vibrating or strongly vibrating places.
• Distorted or unstable places.
• How to view the monitor.
If you use the monitor in too dark a room, your eyes may become tired.
Please use it in a reasonably bright room.
Avoid direct rays of the sun to the screen in order to prevent eye fatigue.
Your eyes will get fatigued after viewing the monitor for long period of time.
Relax your eyes by viewing away from the monitor from time to time.
Please watch the monitor in downward direction.
• Note on image retention
The plasma monitor illuminates phosphor to display images. The phosphor has a finite
illumination life. After extended periods of illumination, the brightness of the phosphor will
be degraded to such extent that stationary images would burn-in that part of the screen as
grayed-out images.
Tips to prevent such image retention are:
- Do not display images having sharp brightness differences or high-contrast images, such as
monochrome characters and graphic patterns, for long.
- Do not leave stationary images appearing for long, but try to refresh them at appropriate
intervals of time, or try to move them using screen saver function.
- Turn down the contrast and brightness controls.
• How to clean the monitor.
Before cleaning the monitor, turn off the monitor and disconnect the power plug from the
mains.
When cleaning the monitor, do not spray directly the screen or cabinet with cleaner.
Use a clean, dust free, dry and soft cloth. If it is not enough, then use a cloth with non-
alcoholic or non-ammonia detergent.
Do not rub the surface of the screen with ball-point-pen or screw-driver etc.
V
SAFETY GUIDELINES(continued)
• Prevention of an obstacle to Radio receivers
This monitor has been designed pursuant to the FCC class B Rules (see page VII). This is to
prevent a problem to Radio receivers.
If this monitor cause a problem to Radio receivers, then take the following steps:
- Keep the monitor away from Radio.
- Adjust Radio antennas in order for the monitor not to receive interference.

You can check if this monitor influences Radio receivers by turning off all other equipment
other than the monitor.
If you find a problem receiving Radio when using the monitor, check the instructions
mentioned above.
• Precautions for the monitor
- Use the attached signal-cable when you connect the monitor with PC equipment.
Do not use other signal-cables.
- Confirm the connector is fixed tightly when the signal cable is connected.
Also confirm the screws on the connector are tightened.
- Plug the power cord of the monitor into a different socket from that for other equipment,
such as Radio etc..
- Use a plug with ground terminal and make sure that it connects to the ground.
• Precaution during transportation
Please pay attention when you transport this monitor because it is heavy.
Furthermore, use the original carton box and its packaging materials when the monitor is
transported.
Failure to transport the monitor in any carton except the original carton may result in damage
to the monitor.
Save the original carton box and all packing material.

FEATURES
The following features are provided by the color Plasma Display Monitor.
Large-screen, high-definition plasma display panel
The 42-inch color plasma display panel, with a resolution of 1024 (H) x 1024(V) pixels, creates
a high-definition, large-screen (aspect ratio : 16:9) and low-profile flat display. Free from
electromagnetic interferences from geomagnetic sources and ambient power lines, the panel
produces high-quality display images free from color misconvergence and display distortion.
Multimedia input support
The monitor comes complete with a mini-D-sub terminal and a BNC terminal for RGB input
and with a composite/S terminal and a component terminal for video input, and even with
stereo audio input terminals. It allows hooking up with a number of devices, from PCs to video
gear.
Multiscan converter and Flexible Control LSI
The multiscan converter provides a broad multiscan range of signals, from video signals (15
kHz) to PC analog video signals. Video input is subjected to signal processing by a dedicated
LSI to offer better video quality.
Easy-to-use remote controller and EasyMenu
The remote controller included eases the work of setting display controls. Further, the on-
screen display system, EasyMenu, displays the status of signal reception and display control
settings in an easy-to-view fashion.
Power saving system
The International ENERGY STAR® power saver feature saves power consumption
automatically when input signals are not available. When connected to a VESA DPMS-
compliant PC, the monitor cuts its power consumption while it is idle.

• The type of video board or connecting cable used may not allow for correct displays adjustment of
H.POSITION, V.POSITION, CLOCK and PHASE.
• The monitor may fail to display an animation image correctly when a signal having a vertical frequency
of 85Hz or higher is input to it.
• The monitor differentiates the signal modes according to the horizontal and vertical frequencies and the
horizontal and vertical sync signal polarities. Note that different signals having all these elements alike
may be handled as the same signal.
• Displaying images with more than 512 lines of vertical resolution at Full diplay (compressed display) can
result in the interpolation of stripes.
• Use of this monitor with the input signal timings specified below is recommended. A predefined setting
may not be reproduced correctly with an extremely long front porch or back porch or with an extremely
short data display time.
