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.

Notes:
•  Panasonic AUTO mode is designed to automatically adjust the aspect 
ratio to handle a mix of 16:9 and 4:3 program material. Certain 4:3 
program material, such as stock market data screens, may occasionally 
cause the image size to change unexpectedly. When viewing such 
programs, it is recommended that the ASPECT be set to NORMAL.
•  If adjusting the PICTURE V-POS/V-SIZE in Panasonic AUTO with FULL 
mode, the adjustment is not memorized. When exiting the mode, the 
screen will return to a former adjustment.
•  Panasonic AUTO can not be selected while BNC Dual Video Terminal
