Connections
PC Input Terminals connection
Notes:
•  Due to space limitations, occasionally you may have trouble connecting Mini D-sub 15P cable with ferrite core to PC 
input Terminal.
•  Computer signals which can be input are those with a horizontal scanning frequency of 15 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.)
•  The display resolution is a maximum of 1,440 × 1,080 dots when the aspect mode is set to “NORMAL”, and 1,920 × 
1,080 dots  when the aspect mode is set to “FULL”. If the display resolution exceeds these maximums, it may not be 
possible to show fi ne detail with suffi cient clarity.
•  The PC input terminals are DDC2B-compatible. If the computer being connected is not DDC2B-compatible, you will need 
to make setting changes to the computer at the time of connection.
•  Some PC models cannot be connected to the set.
•  There is no need to use an adapter for computers with DOS/V compatible Mini D-sub 15P terminal.
•  The computer shown in the illustration is for example purposes only.
•  Additional equipment and cables shown are not supplied with this set.
• Do not set the horizontal and vertical scanning frequencies for PC signals which are above or below the specifi ed 
frequency range.
•  Component Input is possible with the pin 1, 2, 3 of the Mini D-sub 15P Connector.
•  Change the “COMPONENT/RGB-IN SELECT” setting in the “SET UP” menu to “COMPONENT” 
  (when COMPONENT signal connection) or “RGB” (when RGB signal connection). (see page 42)

Connections
SERIAL Terminals connection
Notes:
•  Use the RS-232C cable to connect the computer to the Plasma Display.
•  The computer shown is for example purposes only.
•  Additional equipment and cables shown are not supplied with this set.
The SERIAL terminal conforms to the RS-232C interface specifi cation, 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 satisfi es the conditions 
given below. Use a computer application such as programming language software. Refer to the documentation for the 
computer application for details. The SERIAL terminal is used when the Plasma Display is controlled by a computer.
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:
•  If multiple commands are transmitted, be sure to wait 
for the response for the fi rst command to come from 
this unit before sending the next command.
•  If an incorrect command is sent by mistake, this unit will 
send an “ER401” command back to the computer.
•  SL1A, SL1B, SL2A and SL2B of Command IMS are 
available only when a dual input terminal board is 
attached.
