Introduction to the Flat Panel Displays
1.2.2 Operating the Remote Control
The remote control for the flat panel display is a powerful tool. This section provides a brief introduction to your
remote control while later sections explore more advanced operations.
Insert the Batteries into the Remote Control
To open, push and slide the battery cover in the direction of the arrows.
Load the supplied two AA size batteries by the negative polarity (–) ends first.
The batteries supplied with this product may have a shorter life expectancy due to storage conditions. If the
remote control seems to be failing or is weak, replace the provided batteries with new alkaline batteries.
Never mix old and new batteries. Mixing old and new batteries can shorten the life of new batteries or cause
chemical leaks in old batteries. Also, mixing different types or brands of batteries can cause issues as batteries
brands have slightly different characteristics.
Note:
If the flat panel display’s remote control is not needed for an extended length of time, remove the batteries.

Remote Control Issues
There are a small number of issues that can affect your remote control but the most common is weak batteries.
Weak batteries in the remote control can cause communication to fail or only operate sporadically. In this
situation, try moving closer to the panel and attempt to control the panel with the remote. If the panel responds,
change the batteries. If moving closer has no effect on the panel, check the surroundings for objects that might
be blocking the signal. Also consider other equipment with remote controls that are in the area around the panel.
Objects and other IR signals can disrupt the remote. For more help with your remote control, refer to “7.1
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)”.
Operating Range for the Remote Control
To control the flat panel display, point the remote towards the sensor on the panel’s bottom right corner. For easy
operation, keep the distance between the remote control and the sensor less than 7 m (23 feet) and at an angle
of less than 30 degrees.
01
The remote control may not work properly if the sensor is in direct sunlight or very bright lighting. If your viewing
room is naturally bright, change the position of the panel or physically use the remote control closer to the panel’s
sensor.
Note:
If the remote control is left sitting in direct sunlight or under a very strong light, the case could warp or
deform.

Install Your Flat Panel Display
2.2.1Check the Location for Suitability
When choosing the location for your panel, there are several factors to keep in mind. The installation site should
be out of direct sunlight and have sufficient ventilation around the flat panel display to allow cooling. The diagram
below is an example of a stand-mounted panel with proper ventilation.
Use the checklist below to judge possible installation sites.
Sufficient ventilationNo danger of power overloads
Safe from excessive vibrationsSeparate from other IR equipment
Away from air conditionersProtected from hits or shocks
Free of moisture or dampnessDistance from heat sources
No danger of splashing waterOut of direct sunlight
Route cords and cables safelyAway from strong lighting sources
For specific cautions and safety information, refer to “8.2 Physical Location & Temperature Considerations” and
“8.8 Safety Precautions.”
2.2.2Lift and/or Move Your Panel (the How To’s)
This flat panel display is built for endurance but because of the technology, the panel must be handled with care.
Use the handles attached to the rear of the flat panel display to lift the unit. To avoid flexing or twisting the unit,
you need at least two people to lift and move the panel. Do not move the flat panel display by holding only a single
handle or by dragging the panel by its handles.
14
En
Note:
Do not use the handles to hang the flat panel display or as anchors to prevent the panel from slipping or
tipping after it is mounted.

2.2.3Mount the Flat Panel Display
Because your flat panel display is slim but heavy, have at least two people mount and/or position the panel. The
following sections provide instructions for the different mounting and anchoring options.
Anchor the Panel When Using a Stand
When using a stand, stabilize the panel to keep it from tipping over. Please use the metal fittings and screws
supplied with the optional stand to anchor the panel to a wall or other solid support structure.
Another option is to purchase hooks, cords, and fittings through your installer or from your local hardware store.
The hardware size and strength depends on the composition and thickness of the anchoring surface.
Recommended hook: Nominal diameter 8 mm (3/8 inch), length 12 mm to 18 mm (0.5 inches to 0.7 inches)
To anchor the panel when using the optional stand, follow the steps below.
1 ) Attach the hooks to the mounting holes on the
back of the panel.
2 ) Sink the fittings into the wall or support structure.
3 ) Run cords between the hooks and the fittings.
4 ) Tighten the cords until the panel is anchored but
not pulled off balance.
02
To stabilize the flat panel display on a table or platform, use the metal fittings and screws supplied with the
optional stand as well as commercially available wood screws. The wood screws are to anchor the metal fittings
when mounting on a wooden surface. These screws should have a nominal diameter of 4 mm (5/32 inch) and are
at least 20 mm (13/16 inch) long.
Notes:
Avoid moving the table after the panel is attached.
Do not use bare wires for the cord. If any part of the wire is introduced into the ventilation port on the back
of the display panel, fire or electrical shock could result.

that the cord is properly grounded. The cord includes a noise filter. Using any other cord may fail to conform to
mandatory FCC standards.
As long as the flat panel display is plugged in to an outlet, some power is drawn through the panel. When the flat
panel display is not going to be used for a long period, unplug the panel from the power outlet. Unplugging the
panel extends the life of the plasma as well as saves energy.
Plug the cord in to the panel but do NOT plug it in to a power outlet yet.
2.5Route then Bundle the Power Cord and Cables
Once the flat panel display is mounted, place additional equipment in the final position(s). Lay out the power cord,
panel cables, and any other device cables in a logical pattern that works for the location. Please consider the
following points when routing cables:
• Access to a 3-prong (grounded) power outlet
• Space for the noise filter between the panel and outlet
• Placement of cables under carpets or across walking paths
A reusable cable clamp is designed to lock the bundled cables in place. Your flat panel display has a total of three
holes (60 inches: two holes) to attach cable clamps to the back of the panel. Use the cable clamps as necessary.

3Basic Operations
This chapter explores day-to-day operations such as powering on your flat panel display, using the Home Menu,
User Menu, and adjusting the display for the viewing area/room. The final section in this chapter provides hints
and suggestions for those new to flat panel display features.
3.1Turn the Flat Panel Display ON / OFF
Your flat panel display has three activity levels: Power On, Standby, and Power Off. Standby saves energy but
allows the remote control to turn on the panel. The following instructions use the remote control. To operate the
flat panel display through the side panel buttons, refer to “1.2.1 Control Buttons and More on the Flat Panel
Display” for button locations.

4.1Adjust the Picture Quality
Your flat panel display has many adjustment options for the picture to make it just right for you. This section
provides basic adjustments but for detailed video modifications, refer to “5 Additional Picture Adjustment
Options.”
4.1.1Adjust the Picture for Your Room Lighting
The flat panel display senses the amount of light in your room and automatically adjusts the screen brightness
for the best picture. Bright rooms require stronger coloring so images appear crisp while dimly lit rooms allow
the picture to use more subtle coloring.
The panel ships with the Room Light Sensor turned Off. The sections below provide directions to turn the room
lighting sensor On/Off.

Avoid showing signals that fill only part of the screen. Images that fail to fill the screen may cause temporary or
permanent image retention depending on the frequency and duration. For example, an HD picture with side
masks (4:3 content) causes uneven wear of the plasma cells. If side masks appear around a broadcast, after that
movie or program is over, switch to a full screen motion video. This action helps the panel balance wear for the
plasma cells and guard against after-image issues. For more information about Masks, refer to “5.3.1 Adjust for

5.3Assign Advanced Picture Functions
Your flat panel display provides various advanced functions for optimizing the picture quality that go beyond basic
adjustments explained earlier in this manual. This section explores the value offered through Pioneer’s Pro Adjust
support, top quality blacks, better balanced whites, and overall color improvements.
5.3.1Adjust for Screen Masking (black bars on sides)
Screen Masks fill areas on both sides of a picture. Some content fails to fill the screen so bars appear on each
side of the picture. This section explains how to adjust screen masking.
Detect Masks
Some HD video signals have 4:3 content with side masks. Side masks are black bars that appear on the picture’s

6.3Use HDMI Inputs
High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) is a communication method commonly used by digital and/or
high definition equipment. Your flat panel display’s INPUT 5, INPUT 6, INPUT 7, INPUT 8 are HDMI terminals for
incoming digital video signals. The flat panel display supports KURO LINK functions so that when a piece of
equipment is connected, the panel can control the equipment. To use an HDMI terminal, specify the video signal
types being sent from the connected equipment. For signal types, see the operating manual(s) that came with the
equipment.
One of the benefits of using your flat panel display to control other equipment is the support of Deep Color. Deep
Color is the color depth that describes the number of bits used to represent the color of a single pixel in a bitmapped
image. Besides the conventional RGB/YCbCr16bit/20bit/24bit signals, the flat panel display also supports RGB/
YCbCr30bit/36bit signals. This feature enables finer color reproduction when connecting a device that supports Deep
Color signals (HDMI1.3 Deep Color). The color depth appears on the InfoBanner if a program supports Deep Color.
With INPUT 5 through INPUT 8 selected, the color depth also appears on the Display screen.
When connecting a PC to one of the panel’s HDMI inputs, use an HDMI-compliant PC or video card. For a PC or
AV equipment that has a DVI output terminal, use INPUT 4 on your flat panel display. In this case, use only a DVID24 (digital) for connections (see page 17).

06
Caution:
• With the flat panel display, browsing Internet websites and sending/receiving E-mails are unavailable.
• Broadcasts and on-line video services via the Internet are unavailable.
• Purchase commercially available connection devices and cables as needed.
• Combining different communication brand tools with some service providers, or different modem and
broadband router brands may cause communication failures or require additional services from your service
provider.
• Connecting to a network may require additional settings on your PC.
• After connection to a network, enter correct settings.
• Pioneer is not responsible for any damage due to erroneous operations or unsuccessful E-mail transmissions.
Using a LAN
• Use 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX for a broadband router or hub.
• Do not connect your flat panel display directly to the Internet. Connect the panel through a Firewall, leaving only
necessary ports open.
• Do not connect a modular telephone cable to the LAN (10BASE-T/100BASE-TX) terminal. Doing so can cause a
malfunction.
• Required equipment and connection methods may differ, depending on the communication and/or service
provider.
– Use devices such as an ADSL modem, broadband router, hub and splitter as specified by the
communication and/or service provider. Also refer to the instruction manual that came with the device.
– Settings are unavailable for a broadband router or an ADSL modem with a broadband router function.
• When communicating through a LAN, data encryption is unavailable through your panel. When accessing the
Internet, run the display on a virtual private network (VPN) or other protected communication network
environment.
• Do not send a command to both the RS-232C and LAN terminals at the same time. Doing so can cause the
display to receive the command erroneously.
About ADSL Modems
• Utilizing bridging for an ADSL modem requires a separate broadband router.
• For details on an ADSL modem, consult your communication and/or service provider.

7Helpful Information
This chapter includes answers to some common questions and provides cautions and warnings for both panel
installation and usage. If you need further assistance, please contact us and give us the chance to correct any
issues you are experiencing. Thank you again for buying Pioneer!
7.1Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
This section answers some of the questions received by our Support staff members. If your question is not here
or you would like more information please see the Pioneer website for more FAQs (www.pioneerelectronics.com)
about your specific model or our flat panel displays in general.
Why won’t the remote control buttons control my flat panel display?
If you select a mode other than MONITOR on the remote control, your flat panel display cannot receive the
commands. Press the SELECT button to toggle the modes until the MONITOR indicator lights.
Why do I have to move closer to the panel to use the remote control?
Weak batteries in the remote control can cause communication to fail. Try moving closer to the panel and attempt
to control the panel with the remote. If the panel responds then change the batteries. If moving closer has no
effect on the panel, check the surroundings for objects that might be blocking the signal. Also consider if other
equipment that use remote controls have been added to the area around the panel. Objects and other IR signals
can disrupt the remote.
07
How can I protect the remote so it holds up longer?
There are several ways to protect your remote control. Do not leave the remote sitting in direct sunlight as this
can warp or deform the case. Avoid spilling liquids on the remote but if this happens, dry it immediately. If
necessary, remove the batteries and allow the unit to dry completely before attempting to use it again. Areas with
high humidity can also cause damage.
Another issue that can affect the remote control is a leaking battery. The chemicals from a leaky battery can
discolor or damage the remote. If there is visible leakage in a battery, remove both batteries immediately and
carefully wipe the battery compartment clean. Replace both batteries with fresh ones.
Can the signal from my panel’s remote mess up other audio/video equipment?
The flat panel display emits very weak infrared rays from its screen. If there is other equipment close by that also
uses a remote control such as a DVR or stereo system, it may not receive commands from its remote control
properly. Try moving the equipment farther away from the flat panel display.
Note:
The strength of infrared rays emitted from the panel differs as the picture changes on the screen.
Why does the picture seem to dim when I leave a picture on the screen?
When still images (such as photos and computer images) stay on the screen for an extended period of time, the
screen slightly dims. This function protects the panel from damage by automatically adjusting the screen
brightness. The screen dims when a still image is detected for approximately three minutes.
Why won’t my Pioneer flat panel display turn on?
It may be that your remote has failing batteries or has been damaged. Check the power cord connection at the
wall and on the back of the panel. Also try pressing a on you panel.

Helpful Information
Why does the blue power light on my flat panel display blink?
The panel’s internal protection circuit may have been activated for some reason. First turn the panel’s a off, wait
one (1) or more minutes, then turn it back on. If the light still blinks, unplug the power cord from the outlet. Plug
in the panel again after one to two minutes. If this fails to solve the problem, contact your dealer or Pioneer
Customer Support (see back cover).
What can I do to prevent image retention or burn-in?
Burn-in or Image Retention is a side effect of plasma technology. After an image remains on the display for an
extended time period, when the image changes or the unit is turned off, a faint afterimage or ghost of the original
picture may remain. Continuing to play video or leaving the unit turned off for a length of time can clear the
afterimage. We recommend the following steps and settings to prevent image retention or burn-in.
• Set Long Life Settings to
• Do not leave still images on screen.
How do I clean my flat panel display?
To clean the screen surface, gently wipe it with the supplied dry cloth. Rubbing hard on the screen can scratch
the special film coating. Use a clean soft cloth (cotton or flannel, for example) for the cabinet. For details on
cleaning, refer to “7.2 Cleaning Methods.”
On.
7.2Cleaning Methods
Before cleaning your flat panel display, unplug the power cord from the outlet.
When cleaning the screen or the glossy front bezel, gently wipe with a clean, dry cloth such as the supplied
cleaning cloth or a similar type of soft cloth (e.g., cotton, flannel, etc.). Avoid a wet or damp cloth as that can let
moisture seep into the panel. A dusty or rough-textured cloth (or if you rub too hard), can scratch surfaces.
Note:
Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners on the screen.
The chassis or cabinet of the panel is mostly composed of plastic. Do not use chemicals such as benzene or paint
thinner to clean the cabinet. These chemicals can mar the finish or cause other deterioration. When cleaning the
cabinet, use the same type of cloth and method as described for the front bezel.
Note:
Do not affix labels, tapes, etc. to any visible location on the flat panel display. Adhesives can discolor or mar
the panel surfaces.

Cautions and Warnings
8Cautions and Warnings
Your flat panel display is designed for a long and productive life. To keep your panel at peak performance, there
are a few things that can help. This section provides general information and specific warnings to help you
maintain the flat panel display at top quality throughout its lifetime.
Note:
If you do not intend to use your flat panel display for an extended period, occasionally power on and run the
panel to maintain functionality.
8.1Installation Details
It is best to use parts and accessories designed by Pioneer. Use of accessories other than the Pioneer stand or
installation brackets may result in instability and cause injury. For custom installations, please speak with your
dealer or expert installer before attempting to install your high-end flat panel display. These professionals are
familiar with proper installation techniques including ventilation.
Using the unit without proper ventilation may cause the internal temperature to rise, resulting in a possible
malfunction. When the surrounding environmental or internal temperature exceeds a certain degree, the display
automatically powers off in order to cool the internal electronics and prevent a hazardous situation.
A malfunction can be caused by a single issue such as ventilation or by a combination of factors. Pioneer is not
responsible for accidents or damage caused by using parts and/or accessories manufactured by other
companies, inadequate installation sites, poor stabilization practices, erroneous installation methods,
operational mistakes, site remodeling, or natural disasters.
For more installation information, refer to the following bullet points:
• Confirm that panel vents are not partially obstructed or completely blocked.
• Use a vacuum cleaner set to its lowest suction setting to clean dusty vents.
• Distance the panel from the wall, other equipment, etc. (for minimum space requirements, refer to “2.2.1
Check the Location for Suitability”)
• Do not fit the unit inside of narrow spaces where ventilation is poor.
• Do not drape, seat, or enclose the panel in any material such as blankets, loose cloth, or carpeting as this
could block the panel vents.
• Use a proper mount or stand rather than leaning the panel against a wall or other support.
• Do not place the product on a rug or blanket.
80
En
8.2Physical Location & Temperature Considerations
Condensation may form on the surface or inside of the display when the panel is moved from a cold place to a
warm room or just after a heater or air conditioner is switched on. If condensation forms, do not turn on the flat
panel display until all moisture evaporates. Powering on the display when there is condensation may damage the
panel or cause a malfunction.
8.3Usage Guidelines
For maximum enjoyment of your Pioneer flat panel display, read the following information carefully.
Over the course of the flat panel display’s lifetime, as with all phosphor-based screens including standard tube-
type TVs, the luminosity of the screen diminishes very slowly. Also, static pictures shown over an extended period
can adversely affect the screen image. To enjoy bright and beautiful pictures for many years to come, please apply
the following guidelines.
• Set the flat panel display to Standby when it is not being used.
• Avoid leaving a still image or frequently showing the same picture on the screen (e.g. closed-captioned
images, games with static portions, etc.).
• Hide the On Screen Display (OSD) from a DVD player, VCR, or other device when not in use.
• Do not leave a picture freeze-framed or paused for long periods.
• Avoid showing a picture with very bright and very dark areas on the screen for extended lengths to time.
Page 81
Cautions and Warnings
• Activate the GAME mode on the AV Selection submenu to play a game but try to limit using this mode for
more than two hours at a time.
• View full-motion, high-action video in WIDE or FULL screen after playing a game or showing a still/PC image.
The recommended duration for showing the action video is three times as long as the game or PC image
was on the screen.
• View full-motion video in WIDE or FULL screen after playing content with side, top, or bottom masking (black
bars). Extensive viewing of masked content without this recovery process can cause uneven wear on the
plasma cells.
8.4Signal Interference or Noise
Signal interference, also referred to as
The most common are addressed in the following sections.
Infrared rays
The flat panel display releases infrared rays because of the technology’s characteristics. Depending on how the
flat panel display is used, remote controls for nearby equipment may be adversely affected. Wireless headphones
using infrared rays can experience noise interference. If this is the case, move equipment to a location where its
remote control sensor is not affected.
Radio Signals
While this flat panel display meets the required specifications, it can affect the signals for surrounding
equipment. If your radio, PC, VCR, or other electrical equipment is disrupted by the panel, move the equipment
away from the panel.
Flat Panel Display Motor
The screen of the flat panel display is composed of extremely fine pixels that emit light according to received video
signals. This principle may cause you to hear a slight buzz or electrical hum coming from the panel. This is a
normal sound for the flat panel display and does not indicate a failing unit.
video noise
or
white noise
, can be caused by many different situations.
08
Flat Panel Display Fans
You may hear the sound of a fan motor at times. The slight noise is caused by a cooling fan motor speeding up
when the panel’s ambient temperature rises. This is a normal function of the panel and is not a malfunction.
8.5Phosphor Properties
The following are typical effects and characteristics of a phosphor-based matrix display and as such are not
covered by the Warranty:
• Permanent residual images upon the phosphors of the panel
• Existence of one or more inactive light cells in small quantity
• Noises generated by fan motors, electrical circuits (hum), panel plates, etc.
8.6Image Information Including Retention & After-Image Lag
Menu Window Size (after a Video Switch)
Programs may be broadcast in high definition (HD) or standard definition (SD). This flat panel display
automatically scales to the appropriate definition type. If the video program’s definition type changes while a
menu window is on screen (for example: HD to SD or SD to HD) the menu size may temporarily shrink or enlarge
until the panel finishes adjusting the picture. Adjusting may happen, for example, when switching between a TV
program and playback from a DVR, or when a recorded program switches between different definition types while
the menu is showing. The menu returns to its normal size after a couple of seconds. This action is normal and
does not indicate a problem with your flat panel display.
Pixel Information
Plasma screens show pictures using pixels. Pioneer flat panel displays contain a very large number of pixels. The
size of the panel determines the number of pixels. With the PRO-141FD/PRO-101FD, there are over 6.2 million
pixels in the 50”/60” panel. All Pioneer display panels are manufactured using a very high level of ultra-precision
technology and undergo individual quality control.
81
En
Page 82
08
Cautions and Warnings
In rare cases, some pixels can be permanently switched off, or on, resulting in either a black or colored pixel
permanently fixed on the screen. This effect is common to all plasma displays because it is a consequence of the
technology.
8.7Prevent Burning
After-Image Lag
If an image with very high peak luminance or fixed images such as time of day indicator or channel logs are
displayed for more than a minute, after-image lagging may occur due to the remaining electric load. After-Image
Lag refers to a ghost of the still image remaining visible after the picture is no longer being shown. This is not a
malfunction. The ghost-image remaining on the screen disappears when moving images are shown in full screen.
Image Retention (a.k.a. Burn-In)
If the same image is displayed continuously, or for shorter periods over several days, a permanent after-image
may remain on the screen. This after-image is permanent because the fluorescent materials burned. Burned
images may fade eventually after playing other video sequences but do not disappear completely. Burn-in tends
to occur more easily soon after the product is purchased.
Display Samples Susceptible to Burning
• If 4:3 aspect ratio images are displayed in their original size repeatedly, the screen other than black or gray
bars on the left and right, is susceptible to burning.
• If 14:9 or 16:9 letterbox images are displayed in their original size repeatedly, the screen other than black or
gray bars at the top and bottom, is susceptible to burning.
• If fixed images such as time of day indicator or channel logos for an extended period or repeatedly, the
images are susceptible to burning.
• If static images, such as a fixed image from a PC or a TV game unit, are displayed for longer periods, the
images are susceptible to burning.
Avoid Image Retention
To avoid image retention as much as possible, refer to the guidelines below.
• Avoid displaying images susceptible to burning whenever possible.
• Display content in a wide aspect ratio (no black or gray bars on any side of the content). Use the SCREEN SIZE button on the remote control to set your flat panel display to a wide-viewing screen mode (WIDE, for
example). Refer to “5.2.1 Choose a Screen Size (Automatically or Manually).”
• Select auto screen sizing (page 33) then set the Side Mask detection function to Mode 1 or Mode 2 (page 36).
• Set the Brightness Sync. option to Auto (adjusts the side mask brightness according to the brightness of
screen images) when the screen size is 4:3 and Side Mask detection is set to Mode 1 or Mode 2. Refer to
“ Lighten Side Masks” on page 37. Setting the Energy Save function to Save 1 can further improve the effect
(see page 29).
• Leave turning On the Image Orbiter (see page 29).
82
En
Long Life Settings
The Long Life Settings option simultaneously optimizes the related settings to guard against image retention. For
details, see “4.2.1 Extend Your Panel Life.”
Image Orbiter
Another built-in feature to protect against burn-in is the Orbiter function. Orbiter automatically changes the
position of the picture imperceptibly while the image is on screen. For more information about the feature, refer
to “4.2.4 Turn On the Image Orbiter.”
