Important Information
Warnings and Safety Precaution
This plasma monitor is designed and
manufactured to provide long, trouble-free service.
No maintenance other than cleaning is required.
Please see the section “Plasma monitor cleaning
procedure” on the next page.
The plasma display panel consists of fine picture
elements (cells) 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.
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
dealer for service.
2. Donot usethis unit’s polarizedplug withextension 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 unitis damagedin
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. The
manufactureris notliable for anybodily harmor damage
caused if unqualified persons attempt service or open
the back cover. Refer all service to authorized Service
Centers.

NOTE:
Whenyouconnect a computertothis monitor, useanRGB
cable including the ferrite core on both ends of the cable.
And regarding DVI and power cable, attach the supplied

To avoid damage and prolong operating life:
1. Use only with 120V 50/60Hz AC power supply.
Continuedoperationatlinevoltages greaterthan120Volts
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 power
cord and have it serviced by an authorized 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
recommended to use a trained, authorized dealer.
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.
8. To avoid sulfurization it is strongly recommended not to
place the unit in a dressing room in a public bath or hot
spring bath.
Plasma monitor cleaning procedure:
1. Use a soft dry cloth to clean the front panel and bezel
area. Never use solvents such as alcohol or thinner to
clean these surfaces.
2. Clean plasma ventilation areas with a vacuum cleaner
with a soft brush nozzle attachment.
3. To ensure proper ventilation, cleaning of the ventilation
areasmustbecarried out monthly.Morefrequentcleaning
maybenecessary depending ontheenvironment inwhich
the plasma monitor is installed.
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
phosphorburn if proper precautions are not taken.To protect
your investment in this plasma monitor, please adhere to the
following guidelines and recommendations forminimizing
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 positionofthe menudisplay fromtime totime.
* 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.Usecomplementaryor pastelcolorwhenever
possible.
* Avoid displaying images with few colors and distinct,
sharply defined borders between colors.
*
Note: Burn-in is not covered by the warranty.
Contactyourdealer forother recommended procedures that
will best suit your particular application needs.

THREE YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY
For Plasma Display Monitors
Congratulations on your purchase of a Runco video product and welcome to the Runco family! We believe
Runco produces “The World’s Finest Home Theater Products”. With proper installation, setup and care,
you should enjoy many years of unparalleled video performance.
This is a LIMITED WARRANTY as defined in the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act. Please read it carefully
and retain it with your other important documents.
SERVICE LABOR: Runco will pay for service labor by a Runco Authorized Service Center when needed
as a result of a manufacturing defect for a period of three (3) years from the effective date of delivery to
the end user (excluding the plasma glass panel).
PARTS: (Not including plasma glass panel) Runco will provide new or rebuilt replacement parts for the
parts that fail due to defects in materials or workmanship for a period of three (3) years from the effective
date of delivery to the end user. Such replacement parts are then subsequently warranted for the remaining
portion (if any) of the original warranty period.
PLASMA GLASS PANEL: Runco will pay for service labor by a Runco Authorized Service Center when
needed as a result of a manufacturing defect for a period of one (1) year from the effective date of delivery
to the end user. In addition, Runco will provide new or rebuilt replacement parts for the parts that fail due
to defects in materials or workmanship for a period of one (1) year from the effective date of delivery to
the end user. Such replacement parts are then subsequently warranted for the remaining portion (if any)
of the original warranty period.
Image burn-in on plasma display panels are specifically excluded from coverage under this Limited
Warranty. Image burn-in is the result of misuse of the product and therefore cannot be repaired under the
terms of this Limited Warranty.
TO AVOID IMAGE BURN-IN:
Please ensure that still images are left on your plasma display panel for no more than a few minutes. Also
ensure that images displayed in the 4:3 aspect ratio mode (black or gray stripes, but no picture information
is present on the left and right edges of the screen) are used as infrequently as possible. This will prevent
permanent image burns on your plasma display panel, which can be seen permanently under certain
conditions once burn-in has occurred.
The types of images to avoid include video games, still images and computer screens with stationary tool
bars and icons. (This is why computers are equipped with screen savers – to prevent still images from
burning into the monitor’s phosphors after being displayed continuously for an extended period of time).
Normal viewing material such as television/satellite broadcasts, videotape or DVDs (not put into pause
for extended periods of time) will not cause damage to your display under normal conditions. Many DVD
players are also equipped with screen savers for this reason.
This Limited Warranty only covers failure due to defects in materials and workmanship that occur during
normal use and does not cover normal maintenance. This Limited Warranty does not cover cabinets or any
appearance items; failure resulting from accident, misuse, abuse, neglect, mishandling, misapplication,
faulty or improper installation or setup adjustments; improper maintenance, alteration, improper use of any
input signal; damage due to lightning or power line surges, spikes and brownouts; damage that occurs
during shipping or transit; or damage that is attributed to acts of God. In the case of remote control units,
damage resulting from leaking, old, damaged or improper batteries is also excluded from coverage under
this Limited Warranty.
WHAT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY:
WHAT IS COVERED UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY:

CAUTION: THIS LIMITED WARRANTY ONLY COVERS RUNCO PRODUCTS PURCHASED
FROM AND INSTALLED BY RUNCO AUTHORIZED DEALERS. ALL OTHER PRODUCTS ARE
SPECIFICALLY EXCLUDED FROM COVERAGE UNDER THIS LIMITED WARRANTY. MOREOVER,
DAMAGE RESULTING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY FROM IMPROPER INSTALLATION OR SETUP IS
SPECIFICALLY EXCLUDED FROM COVERAGE UNDER THIS LIMITED WARRANTY.
Runco limits its obligations under any implied warranties under state laws to a period not to exceed the
warranty period. There are no express warranties. Runco also excludes any obligation on its part for
incidental or consequential damages related to the failure of this product to function properly. Some states
do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, and some states do not allow the exclusion
or limitation of incidental or consequential damages. So the above limitations or exclusions may not apply
to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights that vary from
state to state.
This warranty begins on the effective date of delivery to the end user. For your convenience, keep the
original bill of sale as evidence of the purchase date.
Please fill out and mail your warranty registration card. It is imperative that Runco knows how to reach you
promptly if we should discover a safety problem or product update for which you must be notified.
Repairs made under the terms of this Limited Warranty covering your Runco video product will be performed
at the location of the product, during usual working hours, providing location of product is within normal
operating distance from a Runco Authorized Service Center. In some instances it may be necessary for the
product to be returned to the Runco factory for repairs. If, solely in Runco’s judgment, location of product
to be repaired is beyond normal operating distance of the closest Runco Authorized Service Center, or
the repair requires the unit be returned to the Runco factory, it is the owner’s responsibility to arrange for
shipment of the product for repair. These arrangements must be made through the selling Runco Dealer.
If this is not possible, contact Runco directly and we will locate an authorized representative to assist in
the return of your product to Runco. Runco will return product transportation prepaid in the United States,

Connecting Your PC or Macintosh Computer
Connecting your PC or Macintosh computer to your plasma
monitor will enable you to display your computer’s screen
image for an impressive presentation. The plasma monitor
supports the signals described on page 53.
To connect a PC, Macintosh or compatible graphics adapter,
simply:
1. Turn off the power to your plasma monitor and computer.
2. If your PC does not support SXGA/XGA/SVGA/VGA
you will need to install an SXGA/XGA/SVGA/VGA
graphics board. Consult your computer’s owner’s manual for
your SXGA/XGA/SVGA/VGA conguration. If you need to
install a new board, see the manual that comes with your new
graphics board for installation instructions.
3. This plasma monitor provides signal compatibility up
to VESA 160031200 (UXGA). However, it is not
recommended to use this resolution due to image
readability on the monitor’s native pixel resolution panel.
4. Use the signal cable to connect your PC or Macintosh
computer to the plasma monitor. For Macintosh, use the
monitor adapter to connect to your computer’s video port, if
necessary.
5. Turn on the plasma monitor and the computer.
6. If the plasma monitor goes blank after a period of inactivity,
it may be caused by a screen saver installed on the computer
you’ve connected to the plasma monitor.
When using a Macintosh with the plasma monitor, the
following four display standards are supported using the
Macintosh adapter:
13” xed mode
16” xed mode
19” xed mode
21” xed mode
The 13” xed mode is recommended for your 42Wide VGA.
Connecting Your VCR or Laser Disc Player:
Use common RCA cables (not provided) to connect your
VCR or laser disc player to your plasma monitor. To make
these connections, simply:
1. Turn off the power to your plasma monitor and VCR or
laser disc player.
2. Connect one end of your RCA cable to the video output
connector on the back of your VCR or laser disc player,
connect the other end to the Video input on your plasma
monitor. Use standard RCA audio patch cords to connect
the audio from your VCR or laser disc player to your plasma
monitor (if your VCR or laser disc player has this capability).
Be careful to keep your right and left channel connections
correct for stereo sound.
3. Turn on the plasma monitor and the VCR or laser disc
player.
Note: Refer to your VCR or laser disc player owner’s
manual for more information about your equipment’s
video output requirements.
Connecting Your DVD Player:
You can connect your plasma monitor to a DVD player. To
do so, simply:
1. Turn off the power to your plasma monitor and DVD
player.
2. Use a component video cable to connect your DVD
player to the Y, Cb, and Cr inputs on your plasma
monitor. Or use the DVD-player’s S-Video output. Use
a standard S-Video cable to connect to the S-Video input on
the plasma monitor.
3. Turn on the plasma monitor and the DVD player.
