14ConnectionsHow to connect the PC Input TerminalsNote:(1) Computer signals which can be input are those with a horizontal scanning frequency of 15.6 to 50 kHz and a verticalscanning frequency of 50 to 75 Hz. (However, signals cannot be displayed if they have a horizontal scanningfrequency of less than 30 kHz and a vertical scanning frequency of more than 65 Hz, or a horizontal scanningfrequency of more than 40 kHz and a vertical scanning frequency of less than 55 Hz.)(2) The display resolution is a maximum 640 × 480 dots when the aspect mode is set to “4:3”, and 852 × 480 dots whenthe aspect mode is set to “16:9”. If the display resolution exceeds these maximums, it may not be possible to showfine detail with sufficient clarity.(3) The PC input terminals are DDC1/2B-compatible. If the computer being connected is not DDC1/2B-compatible, youwill need to make setting changes to the computer at the time of connection.(4) Some PC models cannot be connected to the set.(5) An adapter is required to use the RGB cable (D-sub 15P) to connect a PC-98 series computer (which has a D-sub15P terminal) or a Macintosh computer to the set.(6) There is no need to use an adapter for computers with DOS/V compatible D-sub 15P terminal.(7) The computer shown in the illustration is for example purposes only.(8) Additional equipment and cables shown are not supplied with this set.(9) The picture will become dark if a PC signal with a vertical scanning frequency of over 62 Hz is input. To obtain theoptimum picture quality with the Wide Plasma Display, a vertical scanning frequency of 60 Hz is recommended.(10) Do not set the horizontal and vertical scanning frequencies for PC signals which are above or below the specifiedfrequency range.Signal Pin-out for D-sub 15P ConnectorPin No. Signal Name Pin No. Signal Name Pin No. Signal Name# R ) GND (Ground) / GND (Ground)$ G * GND (Ground) 0 SDA% B + GND (Ground) 1 HD/SYNC& GND (Ground) - NC (not connected) 2 VD( GND (Ground) .
