[. . . ] Reference: With some inconvenient PC formats, the H/V position and image size have to possibly be manually adjusted for ending the alignment with the geometric adjustments in this menu. The "AUTO-ADJUST" function is extremely dependent on the image presentation. The presentation of a white frame or a grid cross is well-suited. Should problems arise during connection of the display, please read Chapter 6: "Maintenance (Maintenance and Repairs), use the description of the individual OSD functions, or contact your service site. 4. Connect the supplied mains cable on one side with the display, and on the other side with a grounded wall socket. Turn on the display and the computer, and select an appropriate input (PC/RGB or PC/DVI). During the first utilisation of an analogue video format (RGB). The plasma display always automatically executes the auto-adjust function. During this period the display image "shuttles about" in order to attain the optimal position and playback. 3. 3 Operating Modes PC mode For optimal image reproduction, we recommend the 848 x 480, 640 x 480 or 720 x 400 pixel resolutions. The 848 x 480 pixel resolution corresponds to the display matrix, and offers the best image reproduction. You can obtain the driver for this resolution on the Internet pages of most of the well-known manufacturers of graphics cards. In contrast to applications with CRT monitors, with flat displays it is not necessary to select a high image refresh for a flicker-free presentation. Video recorder mode The utilisation of Y/C (S-Video) or SCART 2 inputs (see fig. page 18) is recommended for enhancement of image quality - if your recorder offers playback in Y/C (S-Video) format. DVD player mode The application of the RGB operating mode, which can be connected to the SCART 1 input, is recommended for optimal utilisation. In case your player does not offer this operating mode, please use the Y/C (S-Video) signal mode (see fig. Operating mode at the beginning of utilisation The operating mode of the technology applied recommends the viewing of predominately motion images or at least the constant alternation of still frame images for the first 100 hours. Image sticking The manufacturer would like to point out to you that during lengthy viewing of freeze pictures (e. g. PC playback), the image is still slightly visible in the full mask for a few minutes during the subsequent playback of a different source. This is known as "image sticking". This "vanishing" residual image is caused by the system, and does not represent a flaw. Therefore it cannot be considered as a case for warranty claim. [. . . ] The autoadjust function and the parameter storage ensure that adjustment on a new format is easy, and that a format which has been adjusted once is automatically recognised and optimally presented in the best image quality when turning on the device the next time. · Digital comb filter In order to increase the horizontal resolution in a standing, vertical line structure, the mixed signals for the colour and black-and-white image must be separated. The digital comb filter provides the desired signal separation through the multiple filtering. A clear separation enhances the horizontal resolution in the presentation of vertical structures, and guarantees clear colour transitions even in the presentation of high-resolution images. [. . . ]
