OPERATING THE PLASMA DISPLAY
BASIC OPERATIONS
The following is a simple explanation of the pro-
cedure for turning the power of the display ON or
in STANDBY and the procedure for selecting the
input signal.
The procedure described here is for the remote
control, however the POWER, INPUT SELECT
and VOLUME buttons on the plasma display can
also be used in the same way.
1Press the POWER button.
Confirm that the STANDBY indicator is lit
before pressing the POWER button.
The power turns ON and the POWER indica-
tor on the main unit turns green. The STAND-
BY indicator on the main unit disappears.
NOTE:
•It takes approximately 8 seconds for the screen to
display after turning the power ON, but this is not
a malfunction.
2Select the input signal by pressing the INPUT
SELECT button.
Each time you switch the input, the name of
the selected input terminal is displayed on the
screen for approximately 4 seconds.
NOTE:
•"No signal" is displayed on the screen if there is
no input from the selected terminal and there is
no message currently displayed on the screen for
volume adjustment or the setup menu, etc.
•If there is no video signal and there has been no
operation from the remote control or the buttons
on the main unit for more than 15 minutes, the
auto shut-off function activates and the display
switches to standby mode.

button, a message such as the following is dis-
played on the screen. This message disappears
approximately 4 seconds after performing adjust-
ments.
•If you turn the audio mute on, a message slowly
flashes on the screen. At this time, if you press
another button, this flashing stops.
•To turn the audio mute off, either press the MUTE
button again or press the VOL K/Lbutton.
•If you press either the PREVIOUS, K, L, Bor {
button in a mode apart from the image adjustment
mode. A message such as the following is dis-
played.

The POWER indicator on the main unit turns
blue and the STANDBY indicator lights up.
NOTE:
•You cannot turn the power ON for approximately
3 seconds after the power enters the standby
mode. Do not turn the power to STANDBY and
then ON again in a short time interval.
•Even if the power is turned to STANDBY, the
main unit is in the standby mode. In order to shut
the main power of the display OFF, it is neces-
sary to remove the AC cord from the power out-
let.

SELECTING THE INPUT SIGNAL
The procedure for selecting the input signal
described here is for use with the remote control.
However, the INPUT SELECT button on the plas-
ma display can also be used in the same way.
Displaying the Current Input Signal
1Press the DISPLAY button.
The name of the current input terminal is dis-
played on the screen.
2To clear the name of the current input terminal,
press the DISPLAY button again or wait for
approximately 4 seconds.
NOTE:
•To redisplay the name of the input terminal, press
the DISPLAY button again.
Selecting the Input Signal
1Press the INPUT SELECT button to select the
input signal.
Each time you switch the input signal, the
name of the selected input terminal is dis-
played on the display for approximately 4 sec-
onds.
The INPUT SELECT button cycles through the
input terminals in the following pattern:
Video 1
(S-Video 1)
Video 2
(S-Video 2) Component 1
Component 2
NOTE:
•When switching the input signal, audio mute turns
ON temporarily.
•S-VIDEO1 takes priority over the VIDEO 1 jack,
as does S-VIDEO 2 over the VIDEO 2 jack.
Therefore, if there is input to the VIDEO and S-
VIDEO terminals at the same time, the S-VIDEO
signal is displayed on the screen. If the S-VIDEO
cable is not connected to the plasma display, the
VIDEO signal will be displayed on the screen.
•480i (interlaced) signals can be connected to the
COMPONENT 1 and 2 terminals. Any of the fol-
lowing display formats: 480i, 480p (progressive),
1080i and 720p (progressive) signals can be con-
nected to the COMPONENT 2 terminal. If one of
these video signals is detected, the format of the
input signal is displayed after the name of the
current input terminal, as in the following manner.
•A"No signal" message appears if there is no
video signal and there is no message currently
displayed on the screen for volume adjustment or
the setup menu, etc. If there continues to be no
video signal for more than 10 seconds, "No sig-
nal" slowly moves around the screen.
•If there is no video signal and there has been no
operation from the remote control or the buttons
on the main unit for more than 15 minutes, the
auto shut-off function activates and the display
switches to standby mode.

Zoom
Normal will display a 4:3 picture at its standard 4:3
size. For 1080i and 720p video signals, a picture will
be displayed at 16:9 size.
Zoom will magnify the entire 4:3 picture to fill the
screen, with no horizontal elongation to fill the screen,
as more of the top and bottom are cut off. Use this
mode to view letterboxed 4:3 picture content to get a
widescreen picture. A 16:9 picture will be magnified
similarly, but to a lesser extent.
Full will display a 4:3 picture at a 16:9 size, with
horizontal elongation necessary to fill the screen.
Wide will display a 4:3 picture at a 16:9 size, with less
horizontal elongation necessary to fill the screen
because a little bit of the top and bottom will be cut off.
Each time you change the screen mode, the
name of the selected mode is displayed on the
screen for approximately 4 seconds.
The SCREEN MODE button switches between
the screen modes in the following pattern.
NOTE:
•When switching the input signal, the audio mute
turns ON temporarily.
•You can only select the "Normal" and "Zoom"
screen modes for 1080i and 720p video signals
connected to the COMPONENT 2 terminal.
