Troubleshooting No power • • • Make sure AC power switch is ON, DC power button is ON (Green LED) Make sure AC power cord is securely connected to the AC socket Plug another electrical device (like a radio) to the power outlet to verify that the outlet is supplying the proper voltage System is “Locked” or Not Responding: • In the unlikely occurrence, press the “Up” key + AC power on to reset the monitor.
Image Quality Issues: • TV: For Best Image Quality, “Standard Definition” TV should be viewed as 4:3. • COMPONENT 480i: For Best Image Quality the “Y Cb Cr” Input should be used. For High-Definition Users: • The PDP TV is an ideal platform for viewing High Definition Content. • Best Image Quality will be achieved by the DVI Input, then “Y Pb Pr,” then RGB. • For 720p usage, there is a special “1:1” mode which allows the content to be displayed in its “TRUE” form as broadcast.
Safety Guidelines CAUTION: The socket-outlet should be installed near the equipment and should be easily accessible. CAUTION: Use a power cable that is properly grounded. Always use the appropriate AC cord that is certified for the individual country. IMPORTANT NOTICE CONCERNING POWER CORD SELECTION The power cord set for this unit has been enclosed and has been selected according to the country of destination and must be used to prevent electric shock.
