Introduction
Introduction
Introduction
What is a Plasma Display Panel (PDP)?
A plasma display panel is the latest display technology and 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 (50PX5R 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.

Introduction
- HDMITM, the HDMI logo and High-Definition Multimedia Interface are trademarks or registered trademarks of HDMI Licensing LLC.
- This set can receive the High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) or Input of Digital Visual Interface(DVI).
- This set supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Contents Protection) Protocol for the set (480p, 720p, 1080i) modes.
- When you Connect with HDMI/DVI Source Devices (DVD Player or Set Top Box or PC) supporting Auto HDMI/DVI function,
automatically, support Plug & Play and then set the HDMI/DVI Source Devices (640 x 480p) (or 50PX5R series: 1280 x 720p).
After reading in HDMI/DVI Source Devices using Display Data Channel(DDC) Protocol, EDID stored in the set is used. If
HDMI/DVI Source Devices not supported Auto HDMI/DVI is been, the Resolution is set, manually.
- To get the best picture quality, adjust the DVD Player or Set Top Box output resolution to 640 x 480p (or 50PX5R series: 1280 x 720p).
- To get the best picture quality, adjust the PC graphics card to 640 x 480 (or 50PX5R series: 1024 x 768), 60Hz.
- When Source Devices have DVI Output Connector, you must connect audio with separated cable.(Refer to <How to connect>)
How to connect
1. When Source Devices (DVD Player or Set Top Box) support HDMI.
- If Source Devices have HDMI Output Connector, Source Devices connect to the set with HDMI Cable .(not supplied with the prod-
uct).
- If Source Devices support Auto HDMI, automatically, Source Devices divert output resolution in 640x480p (or 50PX5R series:
1280 x 720p). But if not, resolution divert Manually Setting for reference Manual of Source Devices.
- To get the best picture quality, adjust the DVD Player or Set Top Box output resolution to 640x480p (or 50PX5R series: 1280 x
720p).
- Because HDMI sends Digital Video and Audio with one cable, need not especial Audio Cable for using HDMI Cable.
2. When Source Devices (DVD Player or Set Top Box) supports DVI.
- If Source Devices have DVI Output Connector, Source Devices connect to the set with HDMI to DVI Cable (not supplied with the
product).
- If Source Devices support Auto DVI, automatically, Source Devices divert output resolution in 640x480p (or 50PX5R series: 1280
x 720p). But if not, resolution divert Manually Setting for reference Manual of Source Devices.
- To get the best picture quality, adjust the DVD Player or Set Top Box output resolution to 640x480p (or 50PX5R series: 1280 x
720p).
- In this case, Audio use other cable. When Source Devices have Analog Audio Output Connector, RGB/DVI Audio Input of the set
connect to Audio Cable (not supplied with the product). And then you can listen to normal Audio.
3. When PC supports DVI.
- If PC have DVI Output Connector, Source Devices connect to the set with HDMI to DVI Cable (not supplied with the product).
- To get the best picture quality, adjust the PC graphics card to 640x480 (or 50PX5R series: 1024 x 768), 60Hz.
- Use the the set’s HDMI/DVI (VIDEO) for video connections, depending on your PC connector.
- If the graphics card on the PC does not output analog RGB and DVI simultaneously, connect only one of either RGB Input or
HDMI/DVI Input to display the PC on the set.
- If he graphics card on the PC does output analog RGB and DVI simultaneously, the set to either RGB Input or HDMI/DVI Input;
(the other mode is set to Plug and Play automatically by the set.)
- Then, make the corresponding audio connections. If using a sound card, adjust the PC sound as required.
- In this case, Audio use other cable. When PC (or sound card of PC) have Analog Audio Output Connector, RGB/DVI Audio Input
of the set connect to Analog Audio Cable (not supplied with the product). And then you can listen to normal Audio.
