Introduction to the ELITE Series Flat Panel TVs

1.2.2 Operating the Remote Control

The remote control for the ELITE Series panels 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 TV’s remote control is not needed for an extended length of time, remove the batteries.

Remote Control Issues

There are several issues that can affect your remote control but the most common problem 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 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 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 “6.1 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs).”

7 m

(23 feet)

Operating Range for the Remote Control

To control the flat panel TV, 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.

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.

1.2.3 Buttons on the Remote Control

Except for a few options, commands available through the buttons on the flat panel TV are duplicated on the remote control. The remote control can be programmed to control other equipment such as a DVD Player, Surround Sound system, etc. A later section entitled “5 Use Other Equipment With Your Flat Panel TV” explains how to use the remote to control other equipment.

2 Install Your Flat Panel TV

There are several installation options for your flat panel TV. This chapter walks you through how to choose an installation site, the best mounting methods, and how to install your panel.

2.1 Choose a Location and the Mounting Method

Your flat panel TV is very thin. The panel needs a solid surface and some sort of support structure (a stand, table, etc.) to protect it from being tipped over or knocked down. Use installation accessories and parts included with the shipment. Pioneer recommends working with a qualified installer whenever possible.

Regardless of the mounting method, anchor or secure your flat panel TV using a combination of the mounting holes and/or supplied bolts.
