Introduction

Dear Pioneer customer

Thank you for your purchase of the Pioneer Flat screen TV. To ensure safety and many years of trouble-free
operation of your product, please read the Important Safety Precautions carefully before using this product.

Important Safety Precautions

Cleaning—Unplug the AC cord from the AC outlet before cleaning the product. Use a damp cloth to clean the product.

•
Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.
Water and moisture—Do not use the product near water, such as bathtub, washbasin, kitchen sink, laundry tub,

•
swimming pool and in a wet basement.
Do not place vases or any other water-filled containers on this product. The water may spill onto the

•
product causing fire or electric shock.
Stand—Do not place the product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod or table. Doing so can cause the

•
product to fall, resulting in serious personal injuries as well as damage to the product. Use only a cart,
stand, tripod, bracket or table recommended by the manufacturer or sold with the product. When
mounting the product on a wall, be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Use only the mounting
hardware recommended by the manufacturer.
When relocating the product placed on a cart, it must be moved with utmost care. Sudden stops,

•
excessive force and uneven floor surface can cause the product to fall from the cart.
Ventilation—The vents and other openings in the cabinet are designed for ventilation. Do not cover or

•
block these vents and openings since insufficient ventilation can cause overheating and/or shorten the
life of the product. Do not place the product on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface, since they
can block ventilation openings. This product is not designed for built-in installation; do not place the
product in an enclosed place such as a bookcase or rack, unless proper ventilation is provided or the
manufacturer’s instructions are followed.
The LCD panel used in this product is made of glass. Therefore, it can break when the product is

•
dropped or impact applied. If the LCD panel is broken, be careful not to be injured by broken glass.
Heat sources—Keep the product away from heat sources such as radiators, heaters, stoves and other heat-generating

•
products (including amplifiers).
To prevent fire, never place any type of candle or naked flames on the top or near the TV set.

•
To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not place the AC cord under the TV set or other heavy items.

•
Do not display a still picture for a long time, as this could cause an afterimage to remain.

•
There is power consumption always if main plug is connected.

•
Servicing—Do not attempt to service the product yourself. Removing covers can expose you to high

•
voltage and other dangerous conditions. Request a qualified person to perform servicing.

The LCD panel is a very high technology product, giving you fine picture details.
Due to the very large number of pixels, occasionally a few non-active pixels may appear on the screen as a fixed point of
blue, green or red. This is within product specifications and does not constitute a fault.

Precautions when transporting the TV

When transporting the TV, never carry it by holding onto the speakers. Be sure to always carry the TV by two people holding
it with two hands—one hand on each side of the TV.

Attaching the stand unit

Before attaching (or detaching) the stand, unplug the AC cord from the AC INPUT terminal.

•
Before performing work, spread cushioning over the surface on which you will be laying the TV. This will prevent

•
it from being damaged.

CAUTION

Attach the stand in the correct direction.

•

Be sure to follow the instructions. Incorrect installation of the stand may result in the TV falling over.

•

Confirm that there are ten screws with the stand

Preparation

Inserting the batteries

Before using the TV for the first time, insert two supplied “AA” size alkaline batteries. When the batteries become
depleted and the remote control unit fails to operate, replace the batteries with new “AA” size batteries.

1

Open the battery cover.
Insert two supplied “AA” size alkaline batteries.

2

Place batteries with their terminals corresponding to the

•
(e) and (f) indications in the battery compartment.

Close the battery cover.

3

CAUTION

Improper use of batteries can result in chemical leakage or explosion. Be sure to follow the instructions below.

Do not mix batteries of different types. Different types of batteries have different characteristics.

•
Do not mix old and new batteries. Mixing old and new batteries can shorten the life of new batteries or cause

•
chemical leakage in old batteries.
Remove batteries as soon as they have worn out. Chemicals that leak from batteries can cause a rash. If you

•
find any chemical leakage, wipe thoroughly with a cloth.
The batteries supplied with this product may have a shorter life expectancy due to storage conditions.

•
If you will not be using the remote control unit for an extended period of time, remove the batteries from it.

•
When replacing the batteries, use alkaline batteries instead of zinc-carbon ones.

•

Using the remote control unit

Use the remote control unit by pointing it towards the remote control sensor. Objects between the remote control
unit and sensor may prevent proper operation.

Teletext

What is Teletext?

Teletext broadcasts pages of information and
entertainment to specially equipped TV. Your TV
receives teletext signals broadcast by a TV network,
and decodes them into graphical format for viewing.
News, weather and sports information, stock
exchange prices and programme previews are among
the many services available.

Turning Teletext on/off

Select a TV channel or external source providing

1

a teletext programme.

2

Press m to display the Teletext.

Many stations use the TOP operating system, while

•
some use FLOF (e.g. CNN). Your TV supports both
these systems. The pages are divided into topic
groups and topics. After switching on the teletext, up
to 2,000 pages are stored for fast access.
Each time you press m, the screen switches as

•
shown below.
Press m again to display the teletext on the right

•
screen and the normal image on the left screen.
If you select a programme with no teletext signal, “No

•
Teletext available” displays.
The same message displays during other modes if no

•
teletext signal is available.

The HDMI connections (High Definition Multimedia
Interface) permit digital video and audio transmission
via a connection cable from a player/recorder. The
digital picture and sound data are transmitted without
data compression and therefore lose none of their
quality. Analogue/digital conversion is no longer
necessary in the connected devices, which also would
result in quality losses.

signals of a DVD can also be played via the compatible
HDMI connection. The sound must be fed in additionally.

HDMI CONTROL

Controlling HDMI devices using HDMI CONTROL

What is HDMI CONTROL?

Using the HDMI CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) protocol, with HDMI CONTROL
you can interactively operate compatible system devices (AV amplifier, DVD player/
recorder, Blu-ray player/recorder) using a single remote control unit.

What you can do with HDMI CONTROL
