Features Contents
Incorporation of high performance XGA wide
plasma panel.
The XGA wide panel incorporates pioneering developments that have allowed realization of more than 2.5 times the data capacity of the VGA panel used at the TV broadcasting level until now*. With a definition of 1280 pixels horizontal and 768 pixels vertical, the XGA wide panel provides unsurpassed reproduction of a wide range of images from personal computers. * When the screen aspect is 4:3 VGA: 640 pixels x 480 pixels XGA: 1024 pixels x 768 pixels
Achievement of XGA class high level luminance
Even in the case of luminance, which is difficult to keep consistent with the level of definition, using originally developed PIONEER technology for optimization, top level luminance has been achieved at this definition.
Realization of thin 9.8 cm unit depth while retaining
a maximum class level 50 inch screen
As well as producing a 50 inch wide screen, which has been difficult to do with a direct view CRT, the extremely thin 9.8 cm unit depth size opens up completely new possibilities to how viewing rooms may be designed.
Unlimited placement possibilities
Designed to be attached to a wall, set on a table top stand or placed on a floor rack, this unit can be installed many ways.

Cleaning
English
Regular cleaning will extend the life and performance of this unit. The recommended way to clean the display and related parts is described below.
Before cleaning, be sure to unplug the power cord from the power outlet.
Cleaning the display panel body and remote control
Do not under any circumstances use solvents such as benzine or thinner for cleaner. Use of such liquids may cause deterioration or peeling of paint from the display or remote control unit. Wipe the display and remote control gently with a soft cloth. In the case of excessive dirt buildup, dampen a soft cloth with a diluted neutral cleaning detergent and after wringing the cloth thoroughly, wipe the component and then dry it with a dry soft cloth.
Cleaning the screen
After dusting, wipe the screen gently using the supplied cleaning cloth or a soft cloth. Do not use tissue or a rough cloth. As the surface of the screen is easily scratched, do not rub it or hit it with a hard object.
Cleaning the vents
As a general rule, use a vacuum cleaner about once a month to clean the vents on the rear panel of the display of dust buildup (set the vacuum cleaner to its weakest setting when doing this). Using the unit without cleaning it of dust will cause the internal temperature to increase, resulting in possible breakdown or fire.

Inserting the batteries in the remote control unit
While pressing down lightly, slide in the direction of the arrow.
Two AA (R6) batteries
When handling the remote control unit
Do not drop or shake the remote control.Do not use the remote control unit in a location subject to
direct sunlight, heat radiation from a heater, or in a place subject to excessive humidity.
When the remote control unit’s batteries begin to wear out,
the operable distance will gradually become shorter. When this occurs, replace all batteries with new ones as soon as possible.
CAUTION
Insert batteries so that the plus (+) and minus (–) sides are
aligned according to the markings in the battery case.
Do not mix new batteries with used ones.The voltage of batteries may differ even if they are the same
shape. Please do not mix different kinds of batteries together.
When not using the remote control unit for a long period of
time (1 month or more), remove the batteries from the remote control unit to prevent leaking of battery fluid. If battery liquid has leaked, thoroughly wipe the inside of the case until all liquid is removed, and then insert new batteries.
Do not charge, short, disassemble or throw the provided
batteries in a fire.

Additional Information
Operating range of the remote control unit
When operating the remote control unit, point it at the remote sensor (Î) located on the front panel of the main unit. The remote control unit is operable up to 23 feet (7 m) from the unit and within a 30 angle on each side of
the sensor.
If you are having difficulty with operation of the remote control unit
The remote control unit may not operate if there are objects
placed between it and the display.
Operational distance will gradually become shorter as the
batteries begin to wear out, replace weak batteries with new ones as soon as possible.
This unit discharges infrared rays from the screen. Placing a
video deck or other component that is operated by an infrared remote control unit near this unit may hamper that component’s reception of the remote control’s signal, or prevent it from receiving the signal entirely. Should this occur, move the component to a position further away from this unit.
Depending on the installation surroundings, this unit’s remote
control unit may be influenced by the infrared rays discharged from the plasma display, hampering reception of its rays or limiting its operational distance. The strength of infrared rays discharged from the screen will differ according to the picture displayed.

General Problems
Problem Possible Solution
• No power
• Unit cannot be operated.
• Remote control does not operate.
• Picture is cut off.
• Strange color, light color, or dark, or color misalignment
• Power is suddenly turned off.
• No picture
• Is the power cord disconnected? (page 12)
• Has the MAIN POWER switch been switched on? (page 7)
• External influences such as lightning, static electricity, etc., may cause improper operation. In this case, operate the unit after first turning the main power on/off, or unplugging the power cord and re-plugging it in after 1 to 2 minutes.
• Are batteries inserted with polarity (+, –) correctly aligned? (page 22)
• Are batteries worn out? (Replace with new batteries).
• Is the plug inserted in the CONTROL IN terminal? Because reception of the remote control’s signal will not be possible if the plug is inserted, please check connections (page 11).
• Is the selected screen size correct? Switch to another screen size (page 16).
• Are SCREEN mode adjustments such as picture size made correctly? (page 19).
• Adjust the picture tone (page 18).
• Is the room too bright? The picture may look dark in a room that is too bright.
• The unit’s internal temperature has increased. (Air vents are blocked.) Remove any objects blocking vent or clean (page 22).
• Is the POWER SAVE mode set to “MODE1” or “MODE2”? (page 17)
• Are all connections correct? (page 10)
• Has setup been done correctly after connection? (page 13)
• Is the correct input selected? (page 14)
• Is a non-compatible signal being input? (page 26)

Additional Information
Problems commonly mistaken as breakdown
English
• The screen is displayed in a small size.
• Letter breakup on screen.
• A sharp sound is sometimes heard from the cabinet.
• Bright portions of image appear to be losing intensity.
• Speckles or noise appears on screen.
• Stripes appear on the screen.
• Operation is not possible.
• Sound is heard from inside the unit.
Problem Possible Solution
• Check the input signal compatibility chart (page 26).
• Is the correct screen size selected? (page 16)
• Adjust using “SCREEN” mode on the menu screen (page 19). If there is still no improvement, this unit may be limiting the displayable range. Check the personal computer input signal compatibility chart (page 26).
• Expansion/contraction caused by surrounding temperature change may result in sound being heard from the cabinet. This is not a malfunction.
• When the input signal’s level is too high, the bright portions may appear to be losing their intensity. Increase the adjustment level of the contrast and check the picture (page 18).
• May be caused by radio wave interference from appliances with motors such as hair dryers, electric vacuum cleaners, electric power drills, ignition systems of cars, motorcycles etc., switch devices such as thermostats etc., neon signs or electrical discharge from power lines etc..
• May be caused by radio wave mingling from TV station, FM station, amateur radios, public radios (simplified radios) etc., or a nearby personal computer, TV, or video/audio component.
• A strong electromagnetic field may cause picture distortion and similar problems.
• External influences such as lightning strike, static electricity etc., may cause improper operation. In this case, operate the unit after first turning the main power ON/OFF, or unplugging the power cord and re-plugging it in after 1 to 2 minutes.
• Sound of fan revolving. This is not a malfunction.
Although this unit incorporates high precision technology in its design, please understand that there may be extremely slight pixel breakup, or light emission fault.
Note
In order to protect this unit’s panels and circuitry, the revolving speed of the interval fan will be automatically increased in order to cool the inside of the unit when the surrounding temperature exceeds 40 °C. (The sound of the fan will become louder at this time). Please operate this unit in a location with a surrounding temperature under 40 °C.
Additional cautions
• If the power is automatically turned off during operation of this unit, the following reasons may be the cause.
Additional Information
1 Is the POWER SAVE mode set to “MODE1” or
“MODE2”? (page 17)
2 The surrounding temperature has risen above 40 °C.
Please operate this unit in a location with a surrounding temperature under 40 °C.
3 The vents are blocked or the internal temperature
has risen abnormally due to abnormal heat generation of internal parts etc..
If the power is automatically turned off for a reason other than the above reasons, there could be a malfunction. In this case, unplug the power cord from the power outlet and request repair from your nearest sales outlet.
About the plasma panel’s protection function
The brightness of this display will deteriorate slightly when an image with little movement such as a photograph or computer image is continuously displayed. This is caused by the plasma panel’s protection function which detects images with slight movement and automatically adjusts brightness to protect the display, and is not a malfunction. This function starts approximately 5 minutes after the power has been turned on or after input has been
switched.

Additional Information
CAUTION Panel sticking and after-image lag
• Displaying the same images such as still images for a long time may cause after-image lagging. This may occur in the following two cases.
1. After-image lagging due to remaining electrical load
When image patterns with very high peak luminance are displayed for more than 1 minute, after-image lagging may occur due to the remaining electric load. The after-images remaining on the screen will disappear when moving images are displayed. The time for the after-images to disappear depends on the luminance of the still images and the time they had been displayed.
2. After-image lagging due to sticking
Avoid displaying the same images continuously over a long period of time with the Plasma Display. When images of the same pattern are displayed continuously for several hours or displayed for a short period of time every day, after-images may remain on the screen due to the sticking of the fluorescent materials. In this case, these images may decrease if moving images are displayed after them, but basically they will not disappear.
