Selecting the Input Signal
1
Press the INPUT SELECT button to select the
input signal.
Each time you switch the input signal, the
name of the selected input terminal is dis-
played on the display for approximately 4 sec-
onds.
The INPUT SELECT button cycles through the
input terminals in the following pattern:
Video 1 Video 2
(S-Video 1) (S-Video 2)
Component 2
NOTE:
• When switching the input signal, audio mute turns
ON temporarily.
• S-VIDEO1 takes preference over the VIDEO 1 jack,
as does S-VIDEO 2 over the VIDEO 2 jack.
Therefore, if there is input to the VIDEO and S-
VIDEO terminals at the same time, the S-VIDEO
signal is displayed on the screen. If the S-VIDEO
cable is not connected to the plasma display, the
VIDEO signal will be displayed on the screen.
• 480i (interlaced) signals can be connected to the
COMPONENT 1 and 2 terminals. Any of the follow-
ing display formats: 480i, 480p (progressive), 1080i
and 720p (progressive) signals can be connected to
the COMPONENT 2 terminal. If one of these video
signals is detected, the format of the input signal is
displayed after the name of the current input termi-
nal, as in the following manner.
• A "No signal" message appears if there is no video
signal and there is no message currently displayed
on the screen for volume adjustment or the setup
menu, etc. If there continues to be no video signal
for more than 10 seconds, "No signal" slowly moves
around the screen.
• If there is no video signal and there has been no
operation from the remote control or the buttons on
the main unit for more than 15 minutes, the auto
shut-off function activates and the display switches
to standby mode.
