¶ How to switch from SR+ to RS-232C
For the PDP-434HD and -504HD series Plasma Displays, the circuitry is structured as shown in the diagram below to support
the SR+ system. Controlling with either the SR+ system or RS-232C commands can be selected. As the SR+ system is
selected at shipment, to control with RS-232C commands in servicing it is necessary to switch the paths. After servicing, be
sure to return the setting to the SR+ system.

Tips: How to change the SR+/RS-232C setting without entering Service Factory mode
Hold the VOLUME or key on the remote control unit pressed for 3-10 seconds during Standby mode.
Then within 3 seconds after the key is released, hold the 2-screen key on the remote control unit pressed for 3-10 seconds.
Then within 3 seconds after the key is released, use the SET key on the remote control unit to set to RS-232C (the baud rate
last selected is chosen) or the HOME MENU key to set to SR+.
