3.1 Installation environment

The plasma display and special metal fixture must be installed after careful discussion with the building owner and

manager of the building. Never undertake installation without careful consideration of the consequences. In addition,

contact the contractor responsible for building construction and interior structure design and confirm the structure and

safety of the building.

: Safety precautions

1) Structure of installation site

Be sure to use an appropriate installation method, after fully understanding the structure of the installation site.

There are many types of building structures and materials, and appropriate installation methods will vary accordingly.

When using a special metal mounting fixture, consult your dealer or the maker of the fixture.

Before drilling holes, always consider the location of wiring and piping within the building.

2) Load resistance of the installation site

Select an installation site capable of supporting the combined weight of the metal fixture and display.

“Sufficient strength to withstand” means sufficient strength to withstand a weight four times that of the

main body including the metal fixture.

3) Horizontal plane

Select a level, sturdy, installation site with sufficient load-bearing capacity.

When using suspension bolts, take care to distribute load evenly on the ceiling on the floor of the installation site.

4) Securing installation space

Select an installation site with adequate space for working. This work requires two or more people.

Remember to leave adequate space for future maintenance.

5) Peripheral equipment

Installation sites close to air conditioner outlets or light bulbs may be unsuitable due to potential damage from

dust, temperature, humidity, or condensation.

6) Dangerous location sites

Do not install the display at locations where it may be leaned against or grasped. Similarly, avoid installing at sites

subject to excessive vibration or physical shock.

7) Lighting

• For more visible display, avoid installation in very bright locations. Before choosing the location site and

method,carefully consider the location of lighting fixtures and direction and strength of sunlight.

• In bright locations, images may appear dark even if the luminance is increased. Adjusting picture brightness to

excessively high levels to compensate for extremely bright ambient lighting may reduce the service life of the

display panel.

8) Semi-outdoor installation

This machine is designed for indoor use. Installed semi-outdoors, the display will be subject to problems resulting

involving the following factors:

• Water, dust, etc.

• Changing temperature and humidity

• Air-borne salt

To ensure that pictures appear normal, avoid installation in locations subject to direct sunlight.

Installation environment

<Ver. 2.1>

9) Temperature and humidity

The installation site should conform to the following temperature and humidity conditions:

• Operating temperature range: 0 to 40 °C (Depending somewhat on installation conditions, see descriptions of

special installations and methods for installation of the standard metal fixture.)

• Operating humidity range: relative humidity 20% to 80%

• Storage temperature (Packege state): –10 to 45 °C

• Storage humidity (Packege state): relative humidity 20% to 90%

• Operating environment air pressure: 0.8 - 1.1 atmospheres

We recommend against installing electronic equipment, including this display, in high-humidity environments. If

the display must be installed at a site subject to humid conditions, observe the following:

• Never install the machine in environments having humidity falling outside the specification range.

• Ground the equipment.

• Do not allow condensation to form on any display surface.

10) Condensation

One common problem encountered during winter is condensation, drops of water that form on display surfaces

when the ambient temperature rises suddenly. Such moisture may adversely affect the performance of the display.

If condensation is observed, turn off the machine for one hour before attempting to use it again. Another solution

is to raise the ambient temperature gradually, if possible.

11) Power requirements

The voltage range required to ensure specified performance is ±10% of the rated voltage. Keep in mind that high-

impedance power distributing wires will produce an effect equivalent to a voltage drop. Watch for the following

cases, and recheck power distribution.

• The voltage drop between the switchboard and the plasma display is significant.

• When the power to the machine is turned on and off, voltage fluctuations are large.

Estimate the power consumption of this machine as 400 VA plus a safety margin.

The inrush current when the machine is turned on is approximately 70 A <30 A>.

< > shows the PDP-V401E.

12) Coverage of the remote control

The display communicates with the remote control through weak infrared signals, which typically reflect off display

surroundings. The operating range of the remote is affected by the reflective characteristics of surrounding objects.

If the range of coverage appears to be unusually short, check the following:

• Do the walls and platform for the display have a mirror or white finish?

• Are there objects near the infrared-accepting section?

• Are the remote control batteries weak or dead?

Other devices using infrared remote control and wireless systems may not work properly if located close to the

infrared-emission source of the display. Consult your dealer before using such equipment near the display.

Installation environment

<Ver. 2.1>

Installation conditions

3.2.2 Calculating calorific values

Estimate the maximum power consumption per device as 400 W plus a safety margin. Most of the power consumed

is converted to heat, so power consumption is roughly equivalent to generated heat.

1) Conversion to calories

[W] × 0.86 = [kcal/h]

Calorific value per display

400 × 0.86 = 344 [kcal/h]

2) Conversion to British thermal unit (BTU)

[W] × 3.41 = [B.t.u./h]

Calorific value per display

400 × 3.41 = 1256 [B.t.u./h]

Air flows out through five of the ventilation holes and flows in through the other holes. For special installations, such

as wall-hanging or embedding, additional restrictions apply concerning operating temperature. See “3.4 Special

installations”.

3.2 Installation conditions

3.2.1 Radiation

This display comes with multiple ventilation holes for efficient radiation of heat. Avoid blocking any of these holes.

Ventilation holes are indicated by arrows in the following drawing.

Five fans

Side slits

<Ver. 2.1>

3.2.3 Installation position

We recommend using the metal installation fixture made by Pioneer. When using a different fixture, use the M8 bolt

hole provided on this display to mount the fixture to the display. Remove the hole rivets on the back of the plasma

display, if necessary for the particular fixture. Tighten bolts with a force of 60 kg.cm or less. Overtightening may

damage the blind nuts.

• The following figure indicates mounting holes that can be used. (Use a coin or similar object to turn the cap to

remove it.)

Installation conditions

Use bolts that do not penetrate more than 13 to 20 mm from the mounting surface of the machine (see the above

side view). If the bolts used are longer than the above, they may damage the inside of the machine.

Do not block ventilating holes or blowholes in the rear of the machine.

Hot air is emitted from the ventilating holes.

Care must be taken not to weaken or soil the wall at the back of the machine with the hot air from the holes.

Glass is used in this machine. It must always be mounted on the straight face.

3.2.4 Strain on surface where equipment is installed

1 This display uses glass in its display section. When using a third-party metal fixture, check that strain is 1 mm or

less by the following method.

2 Tightly fit a thread using a force of φ 0.1psi or less diagonally through the mounting bolt openings on the mounting

surface, as shown in the drawing.

3 Measure distance L of the intersection of the strings in the center section.

The relationship between strain and L is given by Strain = L × 2.

4 If L is 0, interchange the front and rear positions of two strings and check the distance again. If the value of L is not

0, it is the true value of L. If L is 0 after the position is changed, strain is approximately 0.

Installation procedure

3.3.3 Wiring

1) Power source connection

• Refer to Power cord connection on page 24 <36, 82> of the instruction manual.

• For power source capacity, see the description given in “3.1 Installation environment, 11) Power requirements”

in this manual.

2) Signal cable connection

(1) Connecting to a PC

• See the description given in Connecting to a PC , on pp. 19 to 20 <26 to 29, 72 to 75> of the instruction

manual.

(2) Connecting to a video cassette recorder

• See the description given in Connection to a video cassette recorder , on pp. 21 to 23 <30 to 35, 76 to

81> of the instruction manual.

(3) Precautions

• Use coaxial cables. For video signals, use the 3C-2V for lengths of 15 m or less, and the 5C-2V for lengths of

30 m or less. Since data signals are more easily degraded than video signals, use a thick cable (e.g. a 5C-2V

cable) for data communications, even for lengths of 15 m or less. Try to minimize the distance between the

signal transmission device and the plasma display unit.

• If a video cable is wired close to a dimmer, neon tube, air conditioner, or other device, or if it is wired in

parallel to a cable television cable, display performance may be affected.

< > shows the PDP-V401E.

3) Treatment of wires

• For long-term or permanent installations, rather than short-term installations for specific events, use wires of

the proper length, carefully considering the placement of all other wires.

• Place wires so that no load or force is applied to the connecting terminals. For short-term use, wires may be

bundled with string. For long-term installations, form wire bunches using cable clamps.

4) Mounting cable clamp

Use a cable clamp to form cable bunches in the upward direction, as shown in the drawing.

Cable clamps are supplied for bundling connection cables.

Follow these steps when using cable clamps:

Caution

Peel off the label covering the mounting holes before attaching the cable clamps.

When cables are inserted in a cable clamp, keep the clamp at least 10 cm from the wall to allow

ventilation.

<Back>

Peel off the paper at the back and insert the supplied

cable clamp into the mounting holes until it clicks.

3.4 Special installations

This display may be installed in several different positions, including wall-hanging and wall-embedding. Conditions,

including temperature, may restrict the use of certain positions or installation methods.

Consider installation methods and conditions, and see the description given in “3.1 to 3.3” in this chapter.

All the measurement conditions in this manual are set in conformity with the following:

• 100% white light is applied.

• After sufficient aging

All measurements should be performed under the same conditions. The aging time needed for measurement

depends on the size of the installation space, but the standard time is approximately 2.5 hours.

“Sufficient strength to withstand” means sufficient strength to withstand a weight four times that of the main body

including the metal fixture.

3.4.1 Fixing on a structure

To fix the machine on a structure, observe the following conditions:

1 Before fixing on a structure, make sure that the space around the structure is open. 2 After fixing on a structure, the distortion of the unit must be within 1 mm. 3 Do not block holes other than those shown blocked in the fixing figure on the next page. 4 Use a structure 20 mm or less in thickness.

(In the case of the fixing examples 1 and 4 on the next page, the thickness of the structure is not limited.)

5 If an L-shaped structure is used, the thickness of the structure must be 100 mm or less. 6 Use a structure with sufficient strength. 7 Care must be taken not to apply stress to the power cable.

* The descriptions in 2 - 7 indicate the common precautions for fixing the machine on the structure in “wall-hanging”

and “wall-embedding.”

4.1 Functions and features of standard metal fixtures

Our plasma display (PDP-V401 <PDP-V401E>) features a large screen, high luminance, and high picture quality. In addition, the plasma display is so light and thin that it can be installed in a far wider area than competing displays now on the market. The PDP-V401 <PDP-V401E> is designed so that it can be installed in different ways, as we have taken the operating environment and installation structure in consideration. To take advantage of this flexibility in installation methods, you can select one of the following standard metal fixtures:

¶ Tilting stand: PDK-4001

The angle of the PDK-4001 tilting stand can be adjusted in a range from 0° to 20° from vertical. With this stand, you can adjust the tilt of a plasma display installed on a desk or floor to suit your eyes.

¶ One-sided, ceiling-suspension the metal fixture for the plasma display: PDK-4002

With this simple support fixture, you can adjust the installation angle between ± 45° from right to left and up to 25° down from horizontal. The depth of the display with this metal fixture at the time of installation is less than or equal to 170 mm when the display is installed vertically. This fixture can cover a large area depending on the application.

¶ Double-sided, ceiling-suspension the metal fixture for the plasma display: PDK-4003

The metal fixture for double-sided installation makes good use of the display’s thin, light structure. This fixture enables double-sided installations of less than or equal to 470 mm when the display is installed vertically, something which is not possible with other displays on the market.

¶ Ceiling-suspension metal fixture for the plasma display (hand screw type): PDK-4004

This low-cost metal fixture uses a bolt, and allows you to adjust the angle up to 25° down from horizontal. It is suitable for installing the display in rooms having a standard ceiling height (2.40 – 2.70 m).

¶ PDP bracket: PDK-4005

The PDK-4005 bracket can be used when handling the display during transport or installation. You can also use this bracket as a frame for wire-hanging or wall-installation. It is best suited to rental applications that require speedy installation and simple and safe mounting.

¶ Wall-mounting metal fixture for plasma display: PDK-4006

This mounting fixture permits adjustable installation angles between 0 and 25 degrees. When installation is complete, the installed depth should be 125 mm or less (for vertical installations without optional speaker system). Adjust the tilt to for best visibility, depending on the particular use.

¶ Infrared reduction filter: PDA-4001

This filter is used to reduce the amount of infrared radiation generated by the plasma display. When the filter is mounted, the anti-reflection coating prevents the quality of images from deteriorating.

¶ Protective filter: PDA-4002

This filter is used to improve the durability of the plasma display for industrial use.

This filter prevents the plasma display from being damaged or stained due to malicious acts, and improves the

strength of the front of the panel. When the filter is mounted, the anti-reflection coating prevents the quality of images from deteriorating.

¶ Speaker system: PDP-S01-LR

The sound system employs a vertical twin-system, composed of a 2.5-cm dome corn-type tweeter at the center and newly-developed elliptical drivers 4.5 cm in width, arranged vertically. The resulting configuration system produces rich, stable sound fields. Only 7.4-cm wide, the cabinet reproduces a rich and dynamic sound range. (When the speaker is mounted to the main body of the plasma display, the operation panel on the main body may not be used.)

Functions and features of standard metal fixtures

The work of assembling and installing the metal fixture and mounting the plasma display must

always be performed by two people.

4.2 Handling standard metal fixtures

4.2.1 Precautions on handling metal fixtures

This chapter describes how to install and handle metal fixtures specially designed for plasma displays sold by us,

PIONEER. We sell this unit on the premise that it will be installed by specialist vendors with sufficient technical skill.

The plasma display must be installed by a specialist in this work or by the dealer from which you made your purchase.

4.2.2 Precautions for vendors performing the installation

1) Before installation

Strictly observe the instructions in “3.1 Installation environment”.

2) Installation

Thoroughly read the contents of this chapter and observe the instructions.

For safety, make sure the work is performed by more than one person.

“Sufficient strength to withstand” means sufficient strength to withstand a weight four times that of the main body

including the metal fixture.

3) After installation

After installing the metal fixture, check it for strength and make sure there are no loose screws. When the plasma

display is mounted, check the installation again.

4) Delivery to the customer

(1) Precautions on operation ¶ Precautions

After finishing the above checks, the installing vendor must describe the following precautions to the customer.

Even if the construction is perfect, handling the metal fixture improperly can undermine the integrity of the installation.

You should explain precautions on handling to the customer so that the customer can understand how to handle

the display.

¶ Convenient use of the plasma display

• If the display is not mounted properly, please ask the installing vendor to check and repair it.

• To prevent the display from falling or similar accidents, do not try to adjust the angle or height of the plasma

display yourself. Please ask the installing vendor to adjust it (Except the PDK-4001).

¶ Do not do the following.

The following actions are inherently dangerous. Exercise caution in handling the metal fixtures.

• Applying loads by pushing or pulling.

• Spilling water on the fixture.

• Placing something on the fixture.

• Touching screws that are part of the fixture.

(2) Notes for vendor performing the installation (Japanese only)

Once the installation is completed and checked and the above precautions have been explained to the customer,

the installing vendor must enter certain data in the Vendor’s installation notes and give these notes to the customer.

(3) Periodic inspection

Parts that are not visible from the exterior, which are either inside the display or part of the floor or ceiling on which

the plasma display is mounted, may age without obvious signs until the display falls from the mounting fixtures.

Advise the customer to ask the installing vendor or a specialist to periodically inspect the fixture and plasma display.

4.5.2 Assembling and installing the metal fixture and mounting the plasma display (same procedure

as for the PDK-4003)

1) Preparation

Assembling the PDK-4002 fixture requires the following tools. Prepare them before starting work. (The PDK-4003 is

assembled using the same tools.)

• Wrench or spanner (side size: 12 mm)

• Hexagonal wrench (side size: 4 mm: for M5)

• Hexagonal wrench (side size: 5 mm for M6)

• Hexagonal wrench (side size: 6 mm for M8)

• Hexagonal wrench (side size: 8 mm for M10)

In addition, the installation work requires a drill to machine the ceiling. Be sure to have one on hand.

2) Assembling and installing the metal fixture (The same assembly and installation procedures are used for the

PDK-4003.)

1. Check that the left and right monitor brackets are firmly mounted on the monitor frame.

Next, pass the center rod through the monitor frame and spacer. Insert the rod into the support COMP, pass it all the

way through, and tighten it using two M8 × 75 hexagonal socket head bolts.

2. Tighten the M5 × 16 hexagonal socket head bolt to eliminate backlash.

3. Decide where to install the fixture, and apply the supplied pattern paper to the ceiling. Make a hole in the ceiling

according to the pattern and mount the ceiling flange COMP.

The fixing screws and nuts must be chosen according to the material, structure, and strength of the part of the

ceiling on which the fixture is installed. Provide high-quality screws and nuts.

4. Pass two M10 × 85 hexagonal socket head bolts through the ceiling flange and tighten the support COMP.

5. Tighten the M6 × 10 hexagonal socket head bolt to eliminate backlash.

• Firmly tighten the bolt.

• After installing the fixture, check the strength of the fixture and ceiling installation before mounting the plasma

display.

• Double-check the safety of the installation by using the hole made in the ceiling flange COMP, as illustrated. (Use

parts with sufficient strength to withstand the weight of this product.)

3) Mounting the plasma display (For the PDK-4003, the same procedure is used to mount two displays.)

1. Remove the 6 hole rivets (arranged lengthwise) from the back of the plasma display with a coin or the like.

2. Mount the monitor mounting bolt assemblies (three each for the left and right) delivered with the display in the

mounting holes on the back of the plasma display.

3. Loosen only the top mounting screws in the left and right monitor brackets, and tilt the monitor brackets all the way

(do not loosen the bottom screws).

4. Lift up the plasma display, and insert the monitor mounting bolt assemblies into the monitor brackets.

With only the top screws used to mount the monitor brackets loosened, tighten three nuts each for the left and right

monitor mounting bolt assemblies. When doing this, be sure not to twist the main body of the plasma display.

2. Tighten the nut with a spanner.

Mounting standard metal fixtures (PDK-4005)

2) Assembly procedure

1. Temporarily tighten the vertical frame (1) and the horizontal frame (2) by using the M5 plus/minus screw (5) and the M5 wave washer (4).

Before screwing together the horizontal frame and vertical frame, place the frames on a flat surface, as shown, and confirm that the holes match up correctly.

Table or similar flat surface

When the frames are placed on a flat surface as above, inserting bolts into the holes is difficult.

Caution

When assembling the PDP bracket, install an M8 nut, as shown, to keep the Special eye bolt from loosening.

(This step is not described in the instruction manual.)

<Ver. 2.1>

2. Place the fixture on a horizontal table, tighten all bolts, and tighten the four bolts (3).

3. With the screen of the plasma display facing downward, place the display on the edge of a flat and stable table, as

shown in the figure. Be sure not to drop or damage the display.

4. Tighten the assembled PDP bracket at four points using M8 hexagonal socket button head screws (6) and M8 wave washers (7).

3) Application example

With the PDP bracket mounted, you can install the plasma display (except the PDK -4003, PDK -4006) to a PIONEER

standard metal fixture.

4) Installation example

During installation, strictly observe the related operating conditions in “3.4 Special installation”.

7 Wire hanging

Attach wires to the bolts, as indicated in the figure.

To attach the wires to the ceiling, secure two wires at

two independent points for safety.

• To keep the plasma display main body from vibrating,

fix the main body by attaching wire to the bottom bolt.

• Use wires strong enough to withstand the total weight

(30.8 kg <31.6 kg> for the plasma display itself plus

3.3 kg for the PDP bracket).

< > shows the PDP-V401E.

Use the Special eye bolt only at the specified locations.

Improper use of Special eye bolts within the plasma display main body may

damage the display's blind nut.

Caution

<Ver. 2.1>

7 Suspending connected plasma displays using wires

More than one display can be connected, as shown in the figure. (Maximum: 3 displays)

When wires are fixed to the ceiling, use two wires fixed at two independent points.

• To prevent plasma displays from tilting, fix them with

wires that pass through the bottom bolts.

• When more than two displays are to be hung, use

as many wires as needed to withstand the total

weight (30.8 kg <31.6 kg> for a plasma display and

3.3 kg for a PDP bracket).

• For the temperature or other conditions, see the

description in “Special installation, Ceiling

suspension (using wires).”

< > shows the PDP-V401E.

In this case, do not use special eye bolts.

All wires must pass through the

9-mm hole.

For the following reasons, we do not recommend substitution of JIS-

standard eye bolts for special eye bolts:

1. Since the eye-bolt screw is too short to prevent loosening, nuts

cannot be used.

2. The finger spring may be used to help prevent loosening, but may

not provide adequate torque for this specific purpose.

The filter surface is delicate, due to its special anti-

glare coating. To clean the filter surface, brush dust

from the surface and wipe with a soft cloth. Do not

use hard or abrasive materials, such as tissue paper.

Use of solvents such as benzene or thinner will damage

and discolor the filter coating.

If the inside of the filter becomes dirty, unscrew

the decorative screws and remove the filter. In this

case, unscrew the bottom screws first.

Handling the filter carefully, clean the inside surface in

the same way as for the outer surface.

4.11 Speaker system: PDP-S01-LR

4.11.1 Before operation

• To get the best performance from this speaker system, first read the instruction manual. Keep the manual handy for

easy future reference.

• The speaker's nominal impedance is 8 Ω. Connect to a stereo amplifier capable of driving loads ranging from 4 to 16 Ω.

• Observe the following precautions to protect the speaker from damage caused by high input.

• Do not apply inputs higher than the recommended level.

• Turn off power to the amplifier before inserting or removing the pin-plug.

• Do not turn up audio volume beyond recommended levels, when increasing the high-frequency output with a

graphic equalizer.

• Particularly with relatively low-capacity amplifiers, do not drive close to their rated maximums. (Doing so will

produce square waves that can destroy tweeters. )

• Handle the speaker grilles and cabinet carefully to prevent damage caused by shock.

• To protect the speaker from excessive input and abnormal signals, the system contains an automatic return-type

protective device. When excessive input is applied to the speaker, the protective device activates to kill sound

output. If this occurs, decrease the amplifier volume. The sound should return in 5 to 10 seconds.

2) Mounting the metal fixture

The metal fixture is installed by one of two methods, which are outlined below:

(1) When mounting the metal fixture to the side of

the display:

• The figure illustrates mounting the speaker to the right side of the display.

1. Remove the 2 hole rivets (from the bottom) at the back

of the display. (Use a coin to turn the hole rivets.)

2. Attach the metal fixtures supplied with the speaker to

the speaker. (Take care to avoid removing the cushioning.)

3. Check the “LEFT” and “RIGHT” indications on the back

of the speaker and confirm that the cushion on the inner side indicates speaker left or right. Set the speaker with “UP »” on top and mount the speaker to the display, starting with the bottom fixture. (Tighten screws provisionally to guard against backlash.)

4. Adjust the position of the speaker to provide even

clearance between the speaker and the display, then tighten the screws.

• Be sure to use only the screws supplied. Use of other screws may result in mounting failure.

• Avoid grasping the speaker when moving the display after the speaker is mounted. Grasp the bottom of the display when moving it.

(2) When using third-party metal fixtures to mount

the speaker

• Washers M8 (

25) are supplied for third-party metal

fixtures.

• Mount commercial fixtures by the two-point mounting

method to the mounting holes provided at the center

or bottom of the back of the speaker. These mounting

holes are at different levels. To make the hole levels

even, use additional washers until they are flush.

(4) Cabinet maintenance

• Wipe off dirt and dust with a polishing cloth or dry cloth.

• If the cabinet is very dirty, use a soft cloth moistened with detergent diluted by a factor of 5 to 6, and use a dry cloth

to remove moisture. Do not use furniture wax or cleaners, as these chemicals may damage and discolor the surface.

• Application of thinner, benzene, or spray pesticides may damage or discolor the surface.

• When using a chemical cleaning cloth, make sure you have thoroughly read the precaution sheet supplied with the

cloth.

• After connecting to the terminal, lightly tug the cable to confirm that the cable is correctly connected to the terminal.

Incomplete connections will lead to sound interruptions or signal noise.

• If the core of the cable pulls out and the + wires and the – wires are short-circuited, the stereo amplifier will be

subjected to excessive load, shutting it down or leading to system failure.

• Connecting the stereo amplifier with right or left speaker system polarities (+ or –) connected to the wrong pole will

result in insufficient bass or unstable tones that prevent normal stereo effects.

1 Strip the proper amount of insulation

and twist the cable ends together.

(3) Connecting to the stereo amplifier

1. Turn off power to the stereo amplifier.

2. Use the supplied speaker cables to connect the input terminal of the speaker system to the speaker output terminal

of the stereo amplifier.

The polarity of the input terminal is plus (+) for red (terminal to the right of the following figure) and negative (–) for

black (terminal to the left of the following figure).

2 Depress the lever, insert the stripped portion

of the cable into the exposed opening, and

release the lever to clamp the cable in place.
