INTRODUCTION

The PL-43DHD and PL-50DHD are actually a two-piece system - the plasma panel and the DHD™ controller with VivixII™ video processing. The digital high definition DHD™ controller is a digital scaler that converts NTSC Video, S-Video or Component video to 720p, whether it is the PL-43DHD at 1024 x 768 or the PL- 50DHD at 1280 x 768. Typically, fixed pixel devices provide a much more resolved and artifact-free image when they are fed a progressive signal matched to the display’s native resolution - which is exactly what the DHD™ controller does. It also simplifies the operation of the system, as all image adjustments (including aspect ratio control) and video switching are done at the DHD™ controller, not at the plasma level.

This manual will explain how to use your PL-43DHD/PL-50DHD plasma display, as well as its features, benefits and other important information. Please ensure you read this manual carefully before using your PL-43DHD/PL- 50DHD, especially the safety precautions!

High Altitude Operation

Due to the design of all plasma glass panels made by every manufacturer, and the interaction between ambient air pressure and the plasma gases contained inside of the panel, reliable operation of your plasma display cannot be assured during operation at certain high altitude locations.

We have found this plasma monitor to be reliable at altitudes of up to 5000 MSL (mean sea level). At elevations higher than this, each panel may react differently, depending upon the altitude, air pressure, humidity and other meteorological factors.

For this reason, Runco International makes no warrants or claims as to the reliable operation of this plasma display monitor product at altitudes greater than 5000 feet above sea level.

If you are planning to operate a plasma monitor at a location above 5000 feet, please contact Runco technical support for further information.
