Safety First: • Read all instructions before installing and operating the TV. • Keep this user guide in a safe place for future reference. • To reduce the risk of bodily injury, electric shock, fire, and damage to the TV, observe all warnings and precautions in this user guide. • Do not use attachments that are not recommended by HP with this product. Use of inadequate attachments may result in damage to the product or personal injury. • Follow all instructions.
• Do not place the TV on an unstable cart or stand; the unit may fall over and cause injury. • Do not install the TV where it has a protruding edge. For example, do not place the TV where an edge overhangs a table. Do not install the product on a column, where it may accidentally fall. • If moving the TV from a cold place to a warm place, condensation may occur inside the unit. Allow the condensation to dry before turning on the unit.
Position the power cord carefully: Route the power cord so that it will not be walked on, tripped over, or pinched by items placed upon or against it. Pay particular attention to the plug, electrical outlet, and the point where the power cord exits the product. Overloading: Do not overload an electrical outlet, power strip, or convenience receptacle. The overall system load must not exceed 80% of the power strip input rating.
Preventing Image Retention Your plasma TV illuminates phosphor to display images, much like a conventional tube-type television. Viewing stationary images for extended periods of time results in uneven aging of the phosphor, causing grayed-out images to permanently appear on the screen. Permanent image retention can be avoided by taking some basic precautions.
Introduction The HP PE4240n 42" plasma TV is designed to deliver a fantastic image for an immersive home theater experience. Your new television features a bright and high-contrast enhanced definition plasma panel with Faroudja’s Emmy-Award winning DCDi video processing. Your television is encased in a stylish piano black cabinet, and can be wall mounted or used with the included stand.
• Supports two selectable audio enhancements: BBE High Definition Audio restores clarity and presence for better speech intelligibility and musical realism. SRS WOW creates a bigger, enhanced sound experience by providing three-dimensional sound, enhancing musical vocals, and creating the perception of deep, rich bass without the need for a subwoofer. • Universal Remote Control compatible with additional consumer electronic devices, including HP Media Center PCs.

Item Description A Main power switch Turns the AC power on and off. This switch is on from the factory. When this main power switch is off, the TV is fully unpowered; the power/standby indicator light on the front of the TV is off, and neither the front panel power button nor the remote control can be used to turn on the TV. If you turn the main power switch off, wait at least 5 seconds before turning it on again. B AC in connector Connect the included power cord here.
Set Up This section describes: • • • • • • • How to attach and connect the optional external speakers; see page 12. How to connect an antenna or cable TV input; see page 15. How to connect a PC to the TV using the VGA or DVI-D connectors; see page 17. How to connect a composite video source, such as a VCR; see page 18. How to connect an S-video video source, such as a VCR or DVD; see page 19. How to connect a component video source, such as a DVD; see page 20.
Attaching the speakers to the TV CAUTION: Unplug the TV and all connected components before attaching external speakers.
Connecting the speakers to the TV CAUTION: Unplug the TV and all connected components before connecting external speakers. Use only speakers with 8-ohm impedance and a power input rating of 8 watts or more. 1 If necessary, strip the ends of the speaker cables to expose the wires. NOTE: The right speaker is located at the right side of the TV when viewed from the front.
Connecting an Antenna or Cable TV Use the first procedure that follows when connecting an antenna or cable TV cable directly to the TV. Refer to the next procedure, “Connecting a set-top-box to the TV” on page 16, when connecting a settop-box for cable or satellite. Refer to “Connecting a digital TV (DTV) receiver to the TV” on page 16 when connecting a digital TV receiver (DTV).
Connecting a set-top-box to the TV Use standard 75-ohm coaxial cable to connect a cable TV set-top-box signal cable to the TV. Use shielded coaxial cable to reduce radio frequency (RF) interference. To make this connection: 1 Turn off the TV and the cable TV set-top-box. 2 Connect one end of a coaxial cable to the cable TV set-top-box output connector, and the other end of the cable to the TV antenna cable in connector on the back of the TV. 3 Turn on the TV and the cable TV set-top-box.
Connecting a PC or Other Equipment to the TV Using the VGA or DVI Connector You may connect the TV to a PC or other equipment with a VGA cable or a digital interface compliant with the Digital Visual Interface (DVI) standard. Use a DVI-D 29-pin signal cable when making connections to the DVI connector. This connector supports HDCP, a form of copy protection. Note that the DVI terminal does not support analog RGB input. NOTE: To maintain display quality, use a DVI-standard cable no longer than 5 meters (16.
6 For a set-top-box, perform these tasks: • Perform the Automatic Channel Scan procedure to establish the available channels. Refer to “Run auto scan” on page 33. • To set up the TV remote control to operate the set-top-box, refer to “Programming the remote control for component control” on page 53. 7 To have the TV screen turn off when there is no input signal on the DVI or VGA connector, change the setting for Auto Off in the Function OSD menu. Refer to “Selecting Auto Off mode” on page 45.
Connecting an S-Video Source Use S-video cable to connect your S-video source, such as a VCR, to the TV.
Connecting a Component Source Use component video cables to connect your component video source, such as a DVD player or other equipment, to a component input connector (YPbPr-1 or YPbPr-2) on the TV. To make these connections: 1 Turn off the TV and the DVD player or other component input source equipment. NOTE: YPbPr-1 supports 480p, 720p, and 1080i signals. YpvPr-2 supports only 480i signals.
Connecting the HP Media Center PC You can connect the TV to an HP Media Center PC (HP MCPC) and use the special buttons on the remote control associated with the HP MCPC. Refer to your HP MCPC documentation to connect the TV to the HP MCPC as: • A monitor using either a VGA cable or a DVI-D cable; see “Connecting a PC or Other Equipment to the TV Using the VGA or DVI Connector” on page 17.

Troubleshooting If the picture quality is poor or you are experiencing another type of problem, check the adjustments and operations before requesting service. See the symptoms listed below, and try the checks and remedies. Symptom Checks Remedy The picture is disturbed. Is a connected component set directly in front of or at the side of the TV? Leave some space between the TV and the connected components. The sound is noisy. The remote control operates erroneously. The remote control does not work.
Symptom Checks Remedy I get a poor picture with video signal input. Improper control setting. Adjust picture control as needed. Local interference. Try another location for the TV. Cable interconnections. Be sure all connections are secure. Input impedance is not correct level. I get a poor picture with RGB signal input. Improper control setting. Adjust picture controls as needed. Incorrect 15-pin connector pin-connections. Check pin assignments and connections.
