Safety Precautions

English

IMPORTANT

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.

CAUTION:

TO PREVENT THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK). NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.

WARNING

This equipment is not waterproof. To prevent a fire or shock hazard, do not place any container filed with liquid near this equipment (such as a vase or flower pot) or expose it to dripping, splashing, rain or moisture.

WARNING: THIS APPARATUS MUST BE EARTHED. CAUTION: WHEN POSITIONING THIS EQUIPMENT

ENSURE THAT THE MAINS PLUG AND SOCKET IS EASILY ACCESSIBLE.

To ensure proper heat radiation, distance the unit slightly from other equipment, walls, etc. (normally more than 10 cm). Avoid the following installations which will block vents and cause heat to build up inside, resulting in fire hazards.

• Do not attempt to fit the unit inside narrow spaces where ventilation is poor

• Do not place on carpet

• Do not cover with cloth, etc.

• Do not place on its side

• Do not place it upside down

• If planning special installation such as fitting close to the wall, placing it horizontally, etc., be sure to consult your Pioneer dealer first.

WARNING

To prevent a fire hazard, do not place any naked flame sources (such as a lighted candle) on the equipment.

This product complies with the Low Voltage Directive (73/23/EEC, amended by 93/68/EEC), EMC Directives (89/336/EEC, amended by 92/31/EEC and 93/68/EEC).

D3-4-2-1-4_A_En

CAUTION

The MAIN POWER switch on this unit will not completely shut off all power from the AC outlet. Since the power cord serves as the main disconnect device for the unit, you will need to unplug it from the AC outlet to shut down all power. Therefore, make sure the unit has been installed so that the power cord can be easily unplugged from the AC outlet in case of an accident. To avoid fire hazard, the power cord should also be unplugged from the AC outlet when left unused for a long period of time (for example, when on vacation).

Features

¶ Introduces newly developed Wide Plasma Panel

The new wide high-precision plasma panel (1365x768 / 16:9)

English

pushes the envelope of previous high-luminance panels, producing brighter, clearer images with higher contrast.

¶ ES Slot interface for enhanced potential

The display is provided with a built-in ES Slot Interface to allow the installation of cards for the connection of external devices, thus enhancing its expansion potential.

¶ Supports wide range of computer and video signals

(analog/digital)

Supports non-compressed display of signals ranging from 640x400 and 640x480 (VGA) to 1024x768 (XGA), and compressed display of 1280x1024 (SXGA), 1400x1050 (SXGA+) and 1600x1200 (UXGA) signals. Further, aspect ratio and screen size settings supported include [DOT BY DOT], [4:3] and [FULL] (*1). * Supported signals are different on INPUT1 and INPUT2. *1 Aspect ratio and screen size appearance will differ depending

on input signal.

¶ Free Installation Configuration

– Broader installation possibilities with thinner, lighter, high-endurance design –

PDP-50MXE20/PDP-50MXE20-S:

While producing a large 50" screen image, the display is only 99 mm thick, and weighs in at only 35.5 kg.

PDP-60MXE20:

While producing a large 60" screen image, the display is only 122 mm thick, and weighs in at only 61.5 kg. On the other hand, the efficient heat-radiating design greatly improves environmental operating conditions. The thinner, lighter design, coupled to high-endurance construction greatly broadens the range of possible installation locations and styles.

¶ High reliability for commercial applications

This display is provided with features giving it high dependability in commercial applications, including the ability to suppress peak luminance in accordance with the viewing program, and to change the cooling fan’s speed in accordance with changes in operating environment. Such features provide safety and highendurance under conditions of commercial use.

¶ Improved usability

User convenience has been improved by the inclusion of features making the display even more compatible with your computer. Some of these include the one-touch screen adjustment, [AUTO SET UP] function for computer connections, and the POINT ZOOM function to enlarge local portions of the screen image to display important detailed program data.

¶ Power-Saving Design

The display is provided with a variety of power-saving functions, including an automatic brightness function with ambient light sensor.

Inserting the batteries in the remote control unit

While pressing down lightly, slide in the direction of the arrow.

Two AA (R6) batteries

Designated batteries

Please use size AA (R6) or AA (LR6).

CAUTION

¶ Do not use batteries other than those designated, and do

not mix old and new batteries together, since rupture or leakage may result, leading to danger of fire, personal injury, or contamination.

¶ When loading batteries into the remote control unit, insert

the batteries with (+) and (–) polarities matching those indicated in the diagram. Inserting batteries incorrectly may result in battery rupture or leakage, leading to danger of fire, personal injury, or contamination.

¶ Do not heat or disassemble batteries, and do not dispose

of batteries in fire or water, since battery rupture or leakage may result, leading to danger of fire or personal injury.

¶ When not using the remote control unit for extended

periods of time, remove the batteries and store them separately. Leaving batteries unused in the unit may result in battery leakage, leading to danger of fire, personal injury, or contamination.

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.

When disposing of used batteries, please comply with governmental regulations or environmental public institution’s rules that apply in your country/area.
