PC Input Terminals connection
Notes:
(1) Computer signals which can be input are those with a horizontal scanning frequency of 15.6 to 110 kHz and vertical
scanning frequency of 48 to 120 Hz. (However, the image will not be displayed properly if the signals exceed 1,200
lines.)
(2) The display resolution is a maximum of 768 × 768 dots (TH-42PHD5) / 1,024 × 768 dots (TH-50PHD5) when the aspect
mode is set to “NORMAL”, and 1,024 × 768 dots (TH-42PHD5) / 1,366 × 768 dots (TH-50PHD5) when the aspect mode
is set to “FULL”. If the display resolution exceeds these maximums, it may not be possible to show fine detail with
sufficient clarity.
(3) The PC input terminals are DDC1/2B-compatible. If the computer being connected is not DDC1/2B-compatible, you will
need to make setting changes to the computer at the time of connection.
(4) Some PC models cannot be connected to the set.
(5) There is no need to use an adapter for computers with DOS/V compatible D-sub 15P terminal.
(6) The computer shown in the illustration is for example purposes only.
(7) Additional equipment and cables shown are not supplied with this set.
(8) Do not set the horizontal and vertical scanning frequencies for PC signals which are above or below the specified
frequency range.

SERIAL Terminals connection
Notes:
(1) Use the RS-232C cable to connect the computer to the Plasma Display.
(2) The computer shown is for example purposes only.

(supplied)
The SERIAL terminal is used when the Plasma Display is controlled by a computer.
The SERIAL terminal conforms to the RS-232C interface specification, so that the Plasma Display can be controlled by a
computer which is connected to this terminal.
The computer will require software which allows the sending and receiving of control data which satisfies the conditions
given below. Use a computer application such as programming language software. Refer to the documentation for the
computer application for details.

Pin layout for RS-232C
Basic format for control data
The transmission of control data from the computer starts
with a STX signal, followed by the command, the
parameters, and lastly an ETX signal in that order. If there
are no parameters, then the parameter signal does not
need to be sent.
Notes:
(1) If multiple commands are transmitted, be sure to wait
for the response for the first command to come from
this unit before sending the next command.
(2) If an incorrect command is sent by mistake, this unit
will send an “ER401” command back to the computer.
