Installing the Plasma Display
Locating
• Avoid direct sunlight. Maintain adequate ventilation.
• Because the Plasma Display is heavy, be sure to have someone to help you
when moving or mounting it.
Note
Allow enough space around the upper and back parts when installing to ensure
ventilation around the backside of the Plasma Display.
Preparation
Connecting the PDP and the video input source:
• Connect the video input source to the DVI terminal on the PDP.
• See the manuals for your video input source for correct operation.
Basic Operation
Turning on the power
• Check that the AC switches on the back of the PDP and video input source
are turned ON. The power LED on PDP lights up in red to indicate standby
mode.
• Press PWR on the remote control unit or STANDYBY/ON on the right side
of Plasma Display to turn the system on. The POWER ON indicator on the
Plasma Display lights up blue.
Turning off the power
Press PWR button on the remote control or STANDBY/ON button on the right side
of the PDP. The power LED on the PDP will turn red to indicate standby mode.
CAUTION
Before disconnecting any system cables, turn the PDP off (put into Standby Mode)
