Connecting Your PC Connecting your PC to your plasma display will enable you to display your computer's screen image for an impressive presentation. The plasma display supports the signals described on page 43. To connect a PC or compatible graphics adapter: 1. Turn off the power to your plasma display 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 configuration. If you need to install a new board, see the manual that comes with your new graphics board for installation instructions. 3. The plasma display provides signal compatibility up to VESA 1600‫ן‬1200 (UXGA). However, it is not recommended to use this resolution due to image readability on the display's 1024‫ן‬768 native pixel resolution panel. 4. Use the signal cable that's supplied to connect your PC to the plasma display. 5. Turn on the plasma display and the computer. 6. If the plasma display 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 display. Connections with Equipment that has a Digital Interface Connections can be made with equipment that is equipped with a digital interface compliant with the DVI (Digital Visual Interface) standard. • Use a DVI 29-pin signal cable and the ferrite cores (supplied) when making connections to the RGB3 IN (DVI) connector of the main unit. Note that the RGB3 IN(DVI) terminal does not support analog RGB input source. Note: 1. Input TMDS signals conforming to DVI standards. The TMDS input corresponds to single link. 2.
