INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of the PL-43HDX Plasma display! Your PL-43HDX will provide you with many
years of enjoyment no other plasma can match. It is compatible with today’s current NTSC and PAL systems, as
well as tomorrow’s DTV standards. And since the display is the 16:9 aspect ratio, DVD widescreen movies and
Digital Television will look the way they were meant to look- in the widescreen format. Plasma technology is
proving to be the most flexible and reliable type of display device currently available. The PL-43HDX is consid-
ered a fixed-pixel device, like an LCD or DLP™ projector. LCD and DLP projectors require a light bulb to create
the light, and the light is then reflected off of the tiny DMD mirrors in a DLP, or passed through LCD panels in
LCD projectors. The plasma, however, uses tiny gas-filled pixels to create the image, which essentially generate
their own light. This is very advantageous, as this allows the plasma display to be used in any type of situation,
from dark theaters to light-filled rooms. And it also makes the plasma the most maintenance-free type of display
device - no bulbs or CRTs to change, ever!
This manual will explain how to use your PL-43HDX plasma display, as well as its features, benefits and other
important information. Please ensure you read this manual carefully before using your PL-43HDX, especially the
