Features
Features and Functions of the PDP-501MX Plasma Display
• High-definition XGA wide panel
The Display uses a high-definition XGA wide panel, which provides 1280 x 768 resolution with more than 980.000
pixels. This resolution is more than 2.5 times higher than that of conventional panels, and enables multimedia
information to be reproduced more vividly and accurately than ever before.
• Clear, high-quality image
Provides 8-bit RGB in 256 gradations/16.77 million colors. A new exclusive technology developed by Pioneer eliminates
the pseudo-contour anomaly, that is typically observed in plasma displays.
• Unrivalled brightness
A brightness of 350 cd/m2 (white peak, for panel unit), which is the highest so far for XGA panels, has been achieved by
maximizing light-emitting efficiency.
• Flat, lightweight design
The Pioneer plasma display monitor is also unrivalled in compactness: the 50-inch screen is only 98 mm in depth, and
weighs only 43.0 kg. It can therefore be mounted at locations where conventional displays are difficult to install.
• Supports a variety of signals from computers
Full specification PC are supported in video modes from VGA (640 x 480 resolution) to XGA (1024 x 762 resolution). The
SXGA (1280 x 1024 resolution) mode also accommodates PC signals, although a summary replay approach is employed
in this mode. The use of a dedicated video card also allowed access to a display of 1280 x 768 resolution, as well. This
monitor also supports HDTV broadcasts*.
Note:
* To display HDTV images on this monitor, an HDTV decoder, additionally.
• Optimized for industrial/public-address use
• An RS-232C interface is provided for control from the exterior
• The combination terminal enables a single PC to control multiple monitor systems
• The integrator mode enables more precise adjustments than ever before
• A color temperature (white balance) switching function is provided for retakes, and a key-lock feature prevents
accidental or unauthorized use of the monitor

Installation Site Requirements
3.1 Installation Site Requirements
If the site requires modifications or special preparations for installation of the plasma display or its mounting hardware,
obtain permission in advance from the building owner or building authorities. To ensure installation safety, it is also
important to determine the strength of the installation site with the help of the original building contractor.
Safety Precautions
1) Structure of the installation site
Make sure you thoroughly understand the structure of the installation site before determining the most suitable installation
method. Buildings vary in structure and materials, and the appropriate mounting hardware will differ accordingly. When
drilling into walls, always remain aware of internal electrical wiring and pipes.
2) Weight capacity of the installation site
Select a location with a weight capacity sufficient to support the total weight of the display and mounting hardware.
3) Horizontal and flat surfaces
Select a flat and surface place for instruction and attach mounting hardware parallel to the pace of installation. Install the
unit so that the load is evenly applied to the ceiling or wall, as well as on mounting components such as hang bolts.
4) Sufficient work space
Select a location with sufficient space for installation work. The installation work should be conducted by more than two
persons.
5) Nearby equipment
Air conditioning ducts or lamps located near the installation site may be subject to dust, extreme temperatures, humidity,
and condensation during installation. Take suitable measures to protect them.
6) Safe locations
Do not install the unit where it may be easily reached or leaned against. Avoid locations subject to high vibration or
severe impacts.
7) Lighting conditions
• Consider existing lighting and sunlight angles when creating the installation layout. Extremely bright lighting can
reduce the visibility and quality of the display image.
• In extremely bright surroundings, adjusting screen intensity may not result in perceptibly brighter images. Keep in
mind that extreme intensity settings can reduce system service life.
8) Installation partially outdoors
The unit is designed for indoor use and is not suited for open-air use. Installation at locations even just partially exposed
to the elements may lead to malfunctions or breakdown caused by any of the following:
• Water and dust
• Change in temperature and humidity
• Salt-bearing wind
Direct sunlight upon the display degrades image quality. In installing the display, avoid sites exposed to direct sunlight.
16
Installation Site Requirements
9) Temperature and humidity conditions
• The installation site should meet the following conditions:
• Operating temperatures: 0 to 40 °C (largely depending on installation conditions)
• Operating humidity: 20 to 80%
• Storage temperature: –10 to +45 °C
• Storage humidity: 20 to 90%
• Operating atmospheric pressure: 0.9 to 1.1 atm
• Storage atmospheric pressure: 0.6 to 1.5 atm
• We recommend against installing electronic products such as this unit in locations subject to high humidity. If the unit
is to be installed in a location subject to relatively high humidity, observe the following:
• Never install the unit in locations that fail to meet the conditions specified above
• Make sure the unit is grounded
• Prevent condensation
• Do not allow water or liquids to enter the unit
10) Beware of condensation
One of the chief problem sources during winter is condensation. Rapid temperature fluctuations can deposit airborne
water vapor inside the unit or on the screen, degrading performance. If condensation occurs, turn the unit off and leave
it off for one hour or so. It is also good practice to increase room temperature gradually.
11) Power requirements
• This unit functions properly when powered at ±10% of its rated voltage. High impedance characteristics of lines at
the installation site may distort the voltage output wave form, effectively reducing voltage. If any of the following
occurs, inspect the main wiring.
• Significant voltage drop between the switchboard and the plasma display
• Significant changes in voltage when switching unit power on or off
• When calculating heat quantity, allow for 600 VA of consumption per unit
• The in-rush current upon powering up will be approximately 25 A
12) Effectire remote-control distance
This display emits weak infrared radiation. If other products controlled with infrared remote controls are placed nearby,
remote control function may be affected. In such cases, move them away from the display.
Depending on installation conditions, the range of the unit’s own remote control may be reduced by infrared emitted by
the screen.
The screen’s infrared intensity will vary, depending on the image displayed.

Installation Conditions
3.2.2 Calculating heat quantity
.
For power consumption, allow for 600 VA ( 600 W) per unit. Since most of the power consumed is transformed into
=
.
heat, power consumption may be regarded as roughly equal to generated heat.
1 Conversion to calories
[W] x 0.86 = [kcal/h]
Heat generated per display: 600 W x 0.86 = 516 kcal/h
2 Conversion to British Thermal Units (BTU)
[W] x 3.41 = [BTU/h] Heat generated per unit: 600 W x 3.41 = 2046 BTU/h
3.2.3 Product mounting holes
We recommend using mounting hardware available from Pioneer. If you use other mounting hardware, attach them to
the unit using the M8-bolt holes provided in the unit. Remove the hole rivets, depending on the particular mounting
hardware used. Tighten bolts with a torque between 50 and 80 kg.cm. Applying a torque beyond these limits may lead
to nut failure.
• Locations of useble mount holes are shown below. (Caps, or plugs, can be removed by turning them with a coin or
another device.)

Installation Conditions
3.2.4 Mounting surface warping
The display section incorporates glass. Before mounting the product, perform the following to confirm that the display
is free of warps exceeding 1 mm.
1 Referring to the illustration below, diagonally extend string of maximum 0.1-mm diameter through the bolt mount
openings. Strings thus arranged should be completely free of slack.
2 Measure the clearance (L) between the strings at their point of intersection. Distortion is expressed by: Distortion =
L x 2.
3 If L is found to be 0, pass the strings through the other bolt mount openings and repeat the measurements. Any
value of L greater than 0 indicates the presence of distortion. If the measured values in both cases is 0, the distortion
is negligible.

If it needs to be moved, the unit should be lifted by more than two persons.
• Avoid moving the unit by dragging it on the floor.
• Move the unit slowly, taking care to prevent scraping or striking the delicate front protective panel.
• Remove the protective film only after all work and preparations for the installation site, including clean-up
following unpacking, are complete.
3.3.3 Temporary installation using packing materials
The lower carton and pads may be used as a temporary stand for the unit.
Connections to and from the unit can be made after the side, rear, and front cartons are removed. At this point, the
power switch and remote control may also be operated, but this installation should be regarded as temporary.
Always secure the unit to the mounting hardware after pre-installation wiring and adjustments are complete. Never
attempt to move the unit while supported only by cartons.

3.3.4 Re-packing
If the unit needs to be re-packed, observe the following guidelines:
• Pack by performing the steps described in 3.3.2 Unpacking in reverse order. The mirro mat must be positioned
so that the shiny film surface faces outward and its soft surface faces inward (toward the unit).
• Restore all accessories to their original locations. Secure with adhesive tape to prevent damage during transportation.
• Check that no carton spacer is dislodged. Rearrange dislodged carton spacers so they are securely positioned
between the unit and the lower pads, and secure with adhesive tape. This guards against instability during
packaging or transportation.

Installation Procedures
3.3.5. Wiring
1) Connecting the power cable
• Refer to the section on Power Cord Connection on page 26 of the operating manual.
• For power source specifications, refer to 3.1 Installation Conditions, paragraph 11.
2) Connecting signal cables
(1)Connection to PCs
• Refer to the section with this heading in the operating manual, on pages 21 to 22.
(2)Connection to video units
• Refer to the section with this heading in the operating manual, on pages 23 to 25.
(3)Important Notes
• Use coaxial cables. As a rough guide, use 3C-2V cables for lengths up to 15 meters and 5C-2V cables for
lengths up to 30 meters. Use thicker cables for computer signals, since these signals are more likely to
degrade: 5C-2V cables, for example, for 15-meter lengths. Generally, thicker cables will produce more reliable connections. You can also improve signal quality by minimizing cable length.
• Video cables plugged into video inputs and outputs close to dimmers, neon signs, air-conditioning units, or
cables for wired broadcasts may occasionally deliver slightly corrupted images.
3) Processing wires
• Be especially careful in selecting wiring lengths for permanent layouts. For temporary installations for occasional events, this isn’t quite so important.
• Arrange and secure cables so they will not be subject to direct load or physical force. For temporary installations, securing cables with string should be perfectly adequate. For permanent installations, secure by more
reliable means.

quarter-turn and pull
outward. Remember that this
procedure entails risk of
damaging the clamp.
