Selecting the input signal
Notes:
•  Selecting is also possible by pressing the INPUT button on the unit.
•  Image retention (image lag) may occur on the plasma display panel 
when a still picture is kept on the panel for an extended period. The 
function that darkens the screen slightly is activated to prevent image 
retention (see page 45), but this function is not the perfect solution to 
image retention.

Viewing 3D images
You can enjoy viewing 3D images with contents or programmes compatible with 3D effect by using the 3D eyewear 
(optional).
Note:
You need the 3D IR TRANSMITTER (optional) and the 3D eyewear (optional) to view the 3D images on this display.
For further information, see the instruction manuals of the 3D IR TRANSMITTER and the 3D eyewear.
This display supports “Frame Sequential
*1”, “Side by Side*2” and “Top and Bottom*3” 3D formats.
*
1:  The 3D format that the images for the left and right eyes are recorded with the high de nition quality and alternately played back*
2, *
3: Other available 3D formats
To view the 3D images
To view the contents of the Frame Sequential format (ex. 3D-compatible Blu-ray Disc, etc.) with 3D effect
Connect the 3D-compatible player via an HDMI cable (see page 10) and playback the contents.
•  Use fully wired HDMI compliant cable.
•  For the settings of the player, read the manual of the player.
•  If you use the non 3D-compatible player, the images will be displayed without 3D effect.
To view the contents of 3D formats other than Frame Sequential with 3D effect.
Match the picture format in “3D Picture Format” (see page 35) before viewing.
•  You can view “Side by Side” and “Top and Bottom” with 3D effect even if you use the non 3D-compatible player.
•  Please consult the suppliers of contents or programmes for availability of this service.
 Turn the 3D Eyewear on
    •  See the instruction manual of 3D eyewear for handling.
 Put on the 3D Eyewear
 Watch the 3D images
Note:
•  If the room is lit by  uorescent lights (50 Hz) and light appears to  icker when using the 3D Eyewear, switch off the 
 uorescent light.
•  3D content will not be correctly visible if the 3D Eyewear is worn upside down or back-to-front.
•  Do not wear the 3D Eyewear when watching anything other than 3D images. Liquid crystal displays (such as 
computer screens, digital clocks or calculators, etc.) may be dif cult to see while wearing the 3D Eyewear.
•  Do not use the 3D Eyewear as sunglasses.
•  3D effects may be perceived differently depending on the person.

Troubleshooting for 3D Eyewear 
Table of images that can be seen for each 3D Picture 
Format and the source image format
Symptoms Checks
Cannot see 3D images •  Has the 3D Eyewear been switched On?
•  Ensure that “3D Picture Display” in “3D Settings” is set to “3D”. (see 
page 35)
•  Some 3D image signals may not be automatically recognized as 3D 
images. Set “3D Picture Format” in “3D Settings” to match the picture 
format. (see page 35)
•  Check that there are no obstacles between the infrared sensors on 
the display and the 3D Eyewear. If the 3D Eyewear stops receiving 
the infrared signal for about 5 minutes, the 3D Eyewear will be 
turned off automatically.
•  Check the available area to use the 3D Eyewear.
•  Depending on the person, the 3D images may be dif cult to see, 
or cannot be seen, especially in users that have a different level of 
eyesight between the left and right eyes. 
Take the necessary steps (wearing glasses etc.) to correct your 
eyesight before use.
3D Eyewear is turned off automatically •  Check that there are no obstacles between the infrared sensors on 
the display and the 3D Eyewear or that the 3D Eyewear is placed 
inside the coverage area. If the 3D Eyewear stops receiving the 
infrared signal for about 5 minutes, the 3D Eyewear will be turned off 
automatically.
There is something wrong with the 3D 
images•  Check the setting of “3D Picture Sequence”. (see page 35)
The indicator lamp does not light when 
pressing the power button on the 3D 
Eyewear•  The battery may be running low or  at. Replace it.

Auto SetupH-Pos/V-Pos, H-Size/V-Size, Dot Clock and Clock Phase are automatically adjusted when the RGB or 
PC signal is received.
This setting is enabled under the following conditions:
•  When the signal is not PC format, this setting is enabled only if “Over scan” (see page 23) is “Off”, and 
H-Size/V-Size is not automatically adjusted.
This setting will be invalid and will not work under the following conditions:
•  Aspect is set to “Just”
•  “Under scan” is set to “On”
Using Remote Control
When  on the remote control is pressed, “Auto Setup” will be executed.
When Auto Setup does not work, “Invalid” is displayed.
Auto mode
When the “Auto Setup“ is set to “Auto” in the Options menu (see page 43), automatic position adjustment starts:
• When the display power is turned ON.
• When the input signal is switched.
Notes:
•  If the dot clock frequency is 162 MHz or higher, Dot Clock and Clock Phase cannot be made.
•  When digital RGB signal input, Dot Clock and Clock Phase cannot be made.
•  Auto Setup may not work when a cropped or dark image is input. In such case, switch to a bright image 
with borders and other objects are clearly shown, and then try auto setup again.
•  Depending on the signal, out of alignment may occur after Auto Setup. Carry out  ne tuning for the 
position/size as required.
• If Auto Setup cannot set properly for vertical frequency 60Hz XGA signal (1024×768@60Hz, 
1280×768@60Hz, and 1366×768@60Hz), pre-selecting the individual signal in “XGA Mode” (see page 
36) may results in correct Auto Setup.
•  Auto Setup does not work well when a signal such as additional information is superimposed out of 
valid image period or intervals between synchronizing and image signals are short, or for image signal 
with tri-level synchronizing signal added.
•  If Auto Setup cannot adjust correctly, select “Normalise” once and press OK button, then adjust Pos. /Size 
manually.

Notes:
•  When “Off” is set, “H-Size” and “V-Size” cannot be adjusted.
•  When the “Under scan” is set to “On”, this setting will be invalid.
Clamp 
Position(During RGB input signal)
Adjusts the clamp position when black parts of the image have no detail due to underexposure or are  
tinged with green.
Optimum value for Clamp Position adjustment
When black parts have no detail due to underexposure (blackout)
 Value that causes least blackout is the optimum.
When black parts are tinged with green
 Value that cancels the greenishness without causing blackout is the optimum.
Under 
scanAdjusts the image display size on screen.
Off:  Sets the normal image display size on screen.
On:  Sets the image display size approximately 95 % of the normal image display.
  Off        On
Notes:
• “Under scan” can be modified when “Studio mode” in the Options menu is “On”. When “Studio 
mode” is “Off”, this setting is “Off” and cannot be changed. (see page 43)
