Installing the Display on the Wall Attachment Panel (continued)
1Remove the screws from the back of the PDP.
3Tighten the screws of the plastic hanger to the
back side of the PDP.
4Put the 4 pegs on the PDP in the grooves of the wall mount bracket and pull down on the PDP (!) to
secure it to the wall mount bracket (@). Tighten the screws as shown (#) so that the PDP cannot be
separated from wall mount bracket.
2Use the screws and assemble the plastic
hanger.
☛◆Please ask the installers to install the
wall mount bracket.
◆Please be sure to check if the plastic
hanger is completely secured on both
the left and right side after hanging
the PDP on the wall mount bracket.
◆Please avoid catching your fingers
while installing and adjusting the
angle.
◆Please tightly secure the wall mount
bracket to the wall to avoid injury
from a falling PDP.
Connecting External Devices to the PDP
1Be sure to remove the safety pins underneath the PDP.
◆If the safety pins are not removed, the angle cannot be adjusted.
Any attempt to do so may cause damage to the PDP.
2Pull out the bottom of the PDP (which has been attached to the Wall
Mount Bracket) in the direction indicated by the arrows (refer to
the illustration) until it clicks.
◆Using the PDP After Connecting External Devices.
Be sure to secure the PDP by inserting the 2 safety pins after
readjusting the angle of the PDP to 0
o
.
◆For safety, be sure to secure the PDP using the safety pins.
If the safety pins are not used, the PDP may fall, causing serious
injury.
➢The exterior of the PDP may be different than the picture.
(Assembly and installation of the plastic hanger is the same.)
◆ To connect external devices such as a DVD or a Home Theater System to the PDP, please refer

Connecting Speakers (continued)
ENG
Connect the speaker audio cable to the external speaker output jack on the rear of the PDP matching
the “+” and “
- ” ends of the cable with the diagram on the PDP.
➢◆The speakers MUST have to a power handling capability of 10 watts minimum (impedance 8Ω).
◆When you connect the speaker wire to the external speaker out connector, first bind the speaker wire
round the ferrite core to secure it.
➢Before connecting the speaker wire to the PDP, turn off your PDP.
Ferrite Cores
The ferrite cores are used to attenuate undesired signals.
When connecting cables, attach one of these ferrite cores to
the cable near the connector.

In order to watch television programmes broadcast via a satellite
network, you must connect a satellite receiver to the rear of the
PDP. Also, in order to descramble a coded transmission signal, you
must connect a decoder to the rear of the PDP.
Using a Coaxial cable
Connect a coaxial cable to the:
◆Receiver (or Decoder) output socket.
◆Television aerial input socket.
➢If you wish to connect both a satellite receiver (or decoder)
and a VCR, you should connect the:
◆Receiver (or Decoder) to the VCR
◆VCR to the PDP
Otherwise, connect the receiver (or decoder) directly to the
PDP.

To view television channels correctly, a signal must be received by
the set from one of the following sources:
◆An outdoor aerial
◆A cable television network
◆A satellite network
1In the first three cases, connect the aerial or network input cable to
the 75Ωcoaxial socket on the rear of the PDP.
2If you are using an indoor aerial, you may need to turn it when
tuning your PDP until you obtain a picture that is both sharp and
clear.
For further details, refer to:
◆“Storing Channels Automatically” on page 19
◆“Storing Channels Manually” on page 20
➢When installing or re-installing your PDP, be sure to use the
supplied coaxial antenna cable. If you connect using a different
