to it. Never use a damaged mains cable.
• The plasma display has a glass surface. Should the
device be subjected to excessive loading (e.g.
through shock, vibration, bending and heat shock),
the glass surface can break. Do not subject the
glass surface to any pressure or shock. Should the
glass be broken, immediately pull the mains plug
and do not touch the broken glass with bare hands.
• When the plasma display has been switched to
the stand-by mode it is still connected to the
mains. You must switch the mains switch into the
0position or pull the mains plug from the socket
for complete disconnection.
• For ergonomic reasons it is recommended to avoid
using red and blue fonts or symbols on dark
backgrounds. Such a display causes poor readability
due to the lower contrast, and prematurely fatigues
the eyes. Therefore, please use high-contrast
displays as much as possible, e.g. black font on a
white background.
• During the connection of external loudspeakers,
pay attention to the loudspeaker output technical
data. In the event of insufficient dimensioning of
the loudspeaker, the loudspeaker and/or the built-
in amplifier can be damaged.
• Packaging and packing resources which are no
longer needed are able to be recycled, and should
always be turned in for recycling.

• Turn your plasma display off during all tasks
for start-up, and pull the mains plug from
the socket.
1. Connection of signal sources: TV, VIDEO, PC
2. Connection of sound playback
3. Install the batteries in the remote control
4. Connect the mains cable
5. Turn on the plasma display
Connect the cables of your signal sources at the input
panel of the plasma display.
You need an antenna cable for the built-in TV tuner,
and a suitable cinch cable for external audio signal
sources.
Cables for connecting PC signal sources are provided.
• Always turn the device off before connecting
a signal source to your plasma display.
Your plasma display has various audio outputs located
on the input panel for sound playback. The connection
of your hi-fi or Dolby Surround system is also possible,
as well as the connection of external loudspeakers to
your built-in amplifier.
• Turn your plasma display off before you
connect external loudspeakers. Note the
technical data of the loudspeaker output,
and pay attention to sufficient dimensioning
of the loudspeaker.
• Always turn the device off before you
establish a connection between your hi-fi
or Dolby Surround system and your plasma
display.
The following is to be heeded during the connection
and installation of the mains cable and the video
cable (e.g. SCART, Y/C . . .):
• Please lead the connecting lines to the rear.
Please pay attention that the signal lines are not
placed directly along the display surface.
• In the interest of good image quality, utilise only
shielded, high-quality signal cable. A high-quality
75Ωcoaxial cable should be utilisedfor connecting
the video signal. Poor quality signal cable can
result in strong disturbances and formation of
shadows in the displayed image, as well as
exceeding the permissible EMC level. The
mechanical interlocks of the individual plug-and-
socket connectors are necessary for perfect and
safe operation of the device.
• You should also avoid placing signal sources such
as a PC or a video recorder in front of the display.
Please place these signal sources on the side or
behind of the display.

All of your plasma display’s selection and adjustment
possibilities are able to be carried out with the remote
control. Menus on the display are available for your
support. You will find the description of the menus
starting on page 25 in this manual.
•Remote control range
The remote control only functions properly when
there is no obstruction between the operation and
the infrared sensor on the front side of the plasma
display.
It can happen that the display is not able to receive
the remote control signals or their function range is
severely inhibited, although there is no obstruction
in the way. The reason for this is the infrared radiation
which the display itself emits. Come closer to the
display with the remote control.
The remote control range is reduced when the batteries
become weaker. In this case, please replace the
batteries.
•Installing the batteries
Please push aside the battery compartment cover
with a downward motion. The cover unlocks and
is able to be removed.
Insert the enclosed batteries. While doing so, pay
attention to the proper polarity of the batteries.
This is indicated in the battery compartment.
In order to close the battery compartment, put
the cover back on again, and carefully press it
shut. Your remote control is now ready for
operation.

2.7.4 Connection of Mains Cable
Always utilise the enclosed mains cable in order to
guarantee optimal image quality.
First of all, insert the mains cable into the input panel,
and only thereafter into the socket.
• Never utilise a damaged mains cable!
• Use only sockets with a protective earthing
conductor system to ensure safe operation.
A line filter and switches for stabilisation of the supply
voltages ensure safe operation within normal mains
voltage variations. In case the mains voltage lies
beyond the stated limits, please contact your
responsible sales office. In the event the mains cable
cannot be utilised on account of differing standards
in your country, please see to it that you utilise a
mains cable commensurate with the country-specific
standards which are listed in the following:
• USA UL
• Germany VDE
• Canada CSA
• Switzerland SEV
• Great Britain BASEC/BS
• Japan MITI
This list is not complete. For reasons of safety it may
be necessary to select a different safety standard.
At any rate, the mains cable has to consist of three
wire conductors of at least 10A/0.75 mm2in order to
avoid an accident as a result of electric shock. One
of the three wires is implemented on both ends of
the cable as an earthing contact connection.

20 For the connection of your monitor to the system,
proceed as follows:
1. Turn off the power supply to the computer and
the display.
2. In case it is necessary, install a graphics card
according to the directions in the graphics card
user manual. Make sure that the graphics card
utilised generates a video format that lies within
the limits which are stated in the specifications
(VGA, XGA).
3. Connect the signal cable to the display’s signal
input (DVI-I), and to your computer’s corresponding
video jack (15-pin mini D-DUB) or DVI.
Attention: Falsely connected signal cables can
lead to irregularities in monitor
operation, a poor image quality or
damage to the display, and shorten
service life as a result.
4. Connect the supplied mains cable on one side
with the display, and on the other side with a
grounded wall socket.
5. Turn on the display and the computer, and select
an appropriate input (PC/RGB or PC/DVI).
6. During the first utilisation of an analogue video
format (RGB). The plasma display always
automatically executes the auto-adjust function.
During this period the display image “shuttles
about” in order to attain the optimal position and
playback.
7. You can store frequently used formats as user
formats. The display recognises these formats, and
immediately presents them in correct fashion
without execution of the auto-adjust function.
8. Finish the adjustment of your display by actuating
the following listed OSD function, which is found
in the “INPUTS ADJUSTMENT” menu: “USER
FORMATS”.
9. The DDC compatibility ensures that the utilised
graphics card only generates video formats within
the limits stated in the specifications.
10. Many graphics cards offer formats with 848 x 480
screen resolution in 16:9 format. The utilisation
of this resolution is recommended for optimal
display presentation.
Reference:
With some inconvenient PC formats, the H/V position
and image size have to possibly be manually adjusted
for ending the alignment with the geometric
adjustments in this menu. The “AUTO-ADJUST” function
is extremely dependent on the image presentation.
The presentation of a white frame or a grid cross is
well-suited. Should problems arise during connection
of the display, please read Chapter 6: “Maintenance
(Maintenance and Repairs), use the description of the
individual OSD functions, or contact your service site.
