Important Information
Warnings and Safety Precaution
The Marantz plasma monitor is designed and
manufactured to provide long, trouble-free service.
No maintenance other than cleaning is required. Use
a soft dry cloth to clean the panel. Never use
solvents such as alcohol or thinner to clean the panel
surface.
The plasma display panel consists of fine picture
elements (cells). Although Marantz produces the
plasma display panels with more than 99.99 percent
active cells, there may be some cells that do not
produce light or remain lit.
For operating safety and to avoid damage to the unit,
read carefully and observe the following instructions.
To avoid shock and fire hazards:
1. Provide adequate space for ventilation to avoid internal
heat build-up. Do not cover rear vents or install the unit
in a closed cabinet or shelves.
The unit is equipped with cooling fans. If you install
the unit in an enclosure, make sure there is adequate
space at the top of the unit to allow hot air to rise and
escape. If the monitor becomes too hot, the overheat
protector will be activated and the monitor will be turned
off. If this happens, turn off the power to the monitor and
unplug the power cord. If the room where the monitor is
installed is particularly hot, move the monitor to a cooler
location, and wait for 60 minutes to cool the monitor. If
the problem persists, contact your Marantz dealer for
service.
2. Do not use the polarized plug of this unit with extension
cords or outlets unless the prongs can be completely
inserted.
3. Do not expose the unit to water or moisture.
4. Avoid damage to the power cord, and do not attempt to
modify the power cord.
5. Unplug the power cord during electrical storms or if
the unit will not be used over a long period.
6. Do not open the cabinet which has potentially dangerous
highvoltage componentsinside. Ifthe unit isdamaged in
this way the warranty will be void. Moreover, there is a
serious risk of electric shock.
7. Do not attempt to service or repair the unit. Marantz is
not liable for any bodily harm or damage caused if
unqualified persons attempt service or open the back
cover. Refer all service to authorized Marantz Service
Centers.

NOTE:
When you connect a computer to this monitor, attach
the supplied ferrite cores. If you do not do this, this
monitor will not conform to mandatory FCC standards.
Attaching the ferrite cores:
Set the ferrite cores on both ends of the DVI cable (not
supplied), and both ends of the power cable (supplied).
Close the lid tightly until the clamps click.
Use the band to fasten the ferrite core (supplied) to the
DVI cable.

To avoid damage and prolong operating life:
1. Use only with 120V 50/60Hz AC power supply.
Continuedoperationatlinevoltagesgreaterthan120Volts
AC will shorten the life of the unit, and might even cause
a fire hazard.
2. Handle the unit carefully when installing it and do not
drop.
3. Set the unit away from heat, excessive dust, and direct
sunlight.
4. Protect the inside of the unit from liquids and small
metal objects. In case of accident, unplug the unit and
have it serviced by an authorized Marantz Service
Center.
5. Do not hit or scratch the panel surface as this causes
flaws on the surface of the screen.
6. For correct installation and mounting it is strongly
recommendedto useatrained,authorized Marantzdealer.
7. As is the case with any phosphor-based display (like a
CRT monitor, for example) light output will gradually
decrease over the life of a Plasma Display Panel.
Recommendations to avoid or minimize phosphor burn-in
Like all phosphor-based display devices and all other gas
plasma displays, plasma monitors can be susceptible to
phosphor burn under certain circumstances. Certain
operating conditions, such as the continuous display of a
static image over a prolonged period of time, can result in
phosphorburnif proper precautionsare not taken.Toprotect
your investment in this Marantz plasma monitor, please
adhere to the following guidelines and recommendations
for minimizing the occurrence of image burn:
* Always enable and use your computer’s screen saver
function during use with a computer input source.
* Display a moving image whenever possible.
* Changethe positionof themenu displayfromtimetotime.
* Always power down the monitor when you are finished
using it.
If the plasma monitor is in long term use or continuous
operation take the following measures to reduce the
likelihood of phosphor burn:
* Lower the Brightness and Contrast levels as much as
possible without impairing image readability.
* Display an image with many colors and color gradations
(i.e. photographic or photo-realistic images).
* Create image content with minimal contrast between light
and dark areas, for example white characters on black
backgrounds.Usecomplementary orpastelcolor whenever
possible.
* Avoid displaying images with few colors and distinct,
sharply defined borders between colors.
* Burn-in is not covered by the warranty.

Pour éviter des dommages et prolonger la durée de
service de l’appareil:
1. N’utiliser qu’une source d’alimentation de 120 V 50/
60 Hz CA. Le fait d’utiliser l’appareil en continu à des
tensions de ligne supérieures à 120 Volts CA réduit sa
durée de vie et risque de provoquer un incendie.
2. Manipuler l’appareil avec soin pendant son
déplacement et ne pas le faire tomber.
3. Eloigner l’appareil des endroits chauds, très poussiéreux
et exposés en plein soleil.
4. Eviter que des liquides et des petits objets métalliques
pénètrent à l’intérieur de l’appareil. En cas d’accident,
débrancherl’appareilet le confier àun centre de service
agréé Marantz.
5. Ne pas frapper ou rayer la surface de la écran plasma,
car des défauts risquent de se produire sur la surface
de la écran plasma.
6. Pour effectuer une installation et un montage corrects,
il est recommandé de faire appel au concessionnaire
Marantz autorisé et spécialisé.
7. Comme c’est le cas pour tout affichage à base de
phosphore (comme un moniteur CRT, par exemple), la
puissance de lumière baisse graduellement au cours de
la vie du Panneau d’Affichage à Plasma.
Pour éviter les risques de brûlage du luminophore, les
mesures suivantes sont recommandées :
Comme tous les périphériques d’affichage à base
luminophore et tous les autres affichages à gaz plasma, les
moniteurs plasma peuvent être sujets au brûlage du
luminophore dans certaines circonsatnces. Certaines
conditions d’utilisation, telles que l’affichage continu d’une
image statique pour une durée prolongée, peuvent causer le
brûlageduluminophore siaucuneprécaution n’estprise.Pour
protéger votre investissement dans ce moniteur Plasma
Marantz,veuillezsuivre lesdirectivesetlesconseilssuivantes
pour minimiser l’occurence le marquage de l’écran:
• Assurez-vous de mettre en marche et d’utliser
l’économisateur d’écran chaque fois que c’est possible
lorsque vous l’utilisez avec une source d’entrée
d’ordinateur.
• Affichez une image en mouvement aussi souvent que
possible.
• Changerlapositionde l’affichagedemenudetempsàautre.
• Coupez toujours l’alimentation lorsque vous avez terminé
d’utiliser la moniteur.
Si le moniteur est en usage continu ou longue durée, prenez
les mesures suivantes afin d’éviter l’occurence le brûlage
du luminophore:
• Abaissez le niveau de l’image (contraste, luminosité)
autant que possible, sans faire perdre la lisibilité de
l’image.
• Affichez une image avec de nombreuses couleurs et
graduations de couleur (par ex. des images
photographiques ou photo-réalistes).
• Créez un contenu d’image avec un contraste minimal
entre les zones sombres et les zones claires, par exemple,
des caractères blancs sur un fond noir. Utilisez des
couleurs complémentaires ou pastels le plus souvent
possible.
• Évitez d’afficher des images avec peu de couleurs et des
limites nettes et clairement définies entre les couleurs.
* Le brûlage de l’écran n’est pas couvert par la garantie.
