1.0 RS-232C Adjustment Mode
This display panel has an RS-232C terminal. It is possible to use a PC to make adjustments and settings.
1.1 About the RS-232C Adjustment Mode
1) Adjustments in the RS-232C adjustment mode:
• The adjustments are written to the same memory area as for the integrator mode. Refer to section 5.4.4,
“PICTURE, White Balance and SCREEN Position Adjustment Values Memory Area Tables" (pg. 211).
2) Display screen in the RS-232C adjustment mode:
––
1280X0214@60Hz
• The screen appears as shown to the right.
The set ID is display in the ‘– –’ area in the upper left corner
of the screen.

Notes
(1) Always assign an ID before using the RS-232C adjustment mode. Also, include the ID for the set
to be controlled or adjusted in the RS-232C command. For details, refer to section 5.5.2, “Interface"
(pg. 217).
(2) There are some RS-232C commands that can be used in the normal-operation mode.
For details refer to section, 5.5.5, “List of RS-232C Commands" (pg. 221).
(3) Some adjustment values and items set by RS-232C commands are stored in memory while other values
sand settings are not. For details, refer to section 5.5.5, “List of RS-232C Commands" (pg. 221).
Also, when storing final values in memory, the conditions described in section 5.1.5, “Last Memory"
(pg. 152), must be satisfied.
(4) <DIN>/<DIY> (OSD display disable/enable setting)
The following items can be displayed regardless of the setting:
• Menu display (menu mode, integrator mode)
• Warnings before Auto Power OFF or Power Management operation
• Warning of high temperature inside the set
• Display announcing that the FUNCTIONAL LOCK is set, and the FUNCTIONAL LOCK setting display
• Display call (including holding a button down)
(5) The RS-232C adjustment mode is automatically cancelled in the following cases:
• When the [STANDBY/ON] or [MENU] button is pressed
(6) Cancel the Integrator mode before entering the RS-232C adjustment mode.
(6) When controling the panel using RS-232C commands, control both the input signal and the power. If
the power is ON when there is no signal, the display continues to have a weak discharge. A discharge
could affect the life of the display.

1.3 ID Assignment
After connecting to a computer, the PC can assign an ID for each plasma display panel.
Commands: <IDC> (ID CLEAR) ........ Clears the assigned ID
<IDS> (ID SET) ............. Assigns an ID
IDS is only effective when an ID is not assigned.
Also, IDs are set starting from the set closest to the PC.
Example: Case of 4 displays (assigning IDs with the PC for the first time)
Connect each unit as shown below.
Refer to section 5.5.4, “Combination Connection" (pg. 219).
PC
RS-232C connection
Sent commands:
1 <∗∗AJY>
2 <01 IDS>
Set #1 Set #2 Set #3
±
ID = 01
OUT IN OUT IN OUT IN
ID = 02 ID = 03
Set #4
ID = 04
‘
3 <∗∗AJY>
4 <02 IDS>
‘
5 <∗∗AJY>
6 <03 IDS>
‘
7 <∗∗AJY>
8 <04 IDS>
By sending RS-232C commands in this order, it is possible to assign an ID for each unit.
Units for which an ID has been set can only receive commands with an ID attached. Attach an ID before sending a
command.
ID characters can include 0 - 9 and A - F (there is no distinction between upper and lower case letters).
.
An ∗ (asterisk) can be used as follows:
<∗∗IDC>: Clear the IDs assigned for all sets
<∗1AJY>: Only a set with the second digit as 1 enters the RS-232C adjustment mode
<2∗IN1>: Only input of a set with the first digit as 2 is set to INPUT1
Precautions when assigning IDs
Units that were connected after a set whose ID was cleared cannot be operated with RS-232C commands.
After assigning a setting as shown in the figure above and <∗∗AJY> = <∗∗IDC> is performed, the IDs for all the sets
from Set #1 to Set #4 are cleared. Only the one set (Set #1) that is directly connected to the PC can be controlled.
Furthermore, by performing <∗∗ AJY> = <01 IDS>, it again becomes possible to control the second set (Set #2). By
setting IDs in the same way for the other sets, it again becomes possible to control the sets connected in succession.
Note
When the IDs are set and one or both of the IDs before a command are sent from the PC as a ∗, there is no echo
back. When sending more commands, wait 6 seconds before sending the next command.
Example) When ∗∗OOO and ∗1OOO or 1∗OOO (OOO is the command) are sent from the PC, operation is performed
but there is no echo back.

1.4 Combination Connection
When performing control and adjustment, it is easiest to connect several panels to one PC.
By performing a combination connection and assigning IDs to the displays, it is possible to control and adjust several
panels at the same time or separately.
Connection method:
Connect the panels as shown below. Control and adjust the units with the PC.

Note
Only the combination IN terminal or RS-232C terminal can be used at the same time on one panel. Connecting them
at the same time could cause errors or cause other problems so do not connect them at the same time. Also,
do not connect pairs of combination IN terminals or combination OUT terminals. Doing so could cause errors or
other problems.
It is possible to use a general-purpose mini DIN 6-pin (straight) cable for the combination cable.

Note
To output RS-232C signals from the combination OUT terminal, an ID must be assigned.
For details, refer to section, 5.5.3, “ID Assignment" (pg. 218).

Screen Burning
2.0 Screen Burning
When the same image is shown for a long time (still image, telop, etc.), the image is burned into to screen and may
not be able to be removed. Manage this situation by making necessary changes in the video software, projection
method, system configuration, etc.
This display panel has a function to reduce and/or prevent this issue.
7 Menu mode
1 Mask Control Setting (refer to section 5.3.4, “Adjustment and setting in the Menu Mode; 15) Mask Control
Setting" (pg. 174).
When the power is turned ON, the internal microcomputer moves the screen border or screen display position
horizontally and vertically.
Note
2 ENERGY SAVE setting (Refer to section 5.3.4, “Adjustment and setting in the Menu Mode; 12) Energy saving
Setting" (pg. 170).
The screen brightness is controlled by a combination of the input signal and the brightness of the room.
3 ORBITER Setting (Refer to section 5.3.4, “Adjustment and setting in the Menu Mode; 14) Orbiter Setting"
(pg. 174).
The display position of the screen is moved horizontally and vertically approximately every eight (8) minutes.
Limited to 4:3 screen mode, DOT BY DOT mode, or multi-screen (2-screen mode, PinP mode, PoutP
mode).
7 Integrator Mode
1 SCREEN MASK Setting (refer to section 5.4.3, “Adjustment and setting in the Integrator Mode; 8) SCREEN
MASK Setting" (pg. 193).
An inverse or full mask signal is display on the screen.
When edging is properly performed beforehand using a full mask, it becomes more difficult for the screen to
eperience burning.
Using an inverse signal may be an emergency measure when the screen is burned while displaying a still image;
however, it is not possible to remove the burned image completely.
2 SIDE MASK Setting (refer to section 5.4.3, “Adjustment and setting in the Integrator Mode; 9) SIDE MASK
Setting" (pg. 194).
This setting adjusts the displaying method and the signal level of the SIDE MASK signal
.
7 Menu Mode and Integrator Mode
1 SCREEN MANAGEMENT Setting (refer to section 5.3.4, “Adjustment and setting in the Menu Mode; 13) Screen
Management Setting" (pg. 172) and section 5.4.3, “Adjustment and setting in the Integrator Mode; 7) SCREEN
MANAGEMENT Setting" (pg. 190).
The content of the screen display changes on a 24-hour cycle, according to the conditions.
7 Standard Functions (Settings cannot be changed)
1 Auto Brightness Adjustment (still image detection)
When an image that has little or no motion, such as a photograph or computer screen, is displayed for a long time,
the screen may seem to dim. This is a function to protect the plasma panel display. The dsplay automatically adjusts
the brightness and protects the screen when an image with little motion is detected. This adjustment triggers after
an image with little to no motion has been detected for three (3) minutes.
Note
The setting is a built-in feature and is not found in the menu. The setting cannot be changed.

Precautions on Connecting Camera Images
3.0 Precautions on Connecting Camera Images
Connecting and using moving images that are nearly still, such as images from a surveillance camera, could damage
the panel, reduce the life, or be the cause of other malfunctions.
In this case, it is necessary to set the image quality beforehand.
For instructions on setting the image quality, contact your PIONEER representative.
Pioneer recommends that the ‘ENERGY SAVE’ mode be set to ‘MODE2’ or ‘MODE3’.

Precautions
4.0 Precautions
1) If the power shuts down and stays OFF for a long period of time, an internal problem may have occurred (broken
part, etc.).
Turn OFF the main power switch on the plasma display then wait 1 to 2 minutes and try turning the power ON again.
If the power goes OFF again, the display requires service.
If the display operates normally, continue to use it.
2) When an image (still image, telop, etc.) is shown on the screen for a long period, there is a possibility that the
image could be burned in (not able to be removed). Manage this situation by making necessary changes in the
video software, projection method, system configuration, etc.
3) The following kinds of input signals could cause inferior image quality.
• Video signal that has been dubbed (copied) repeatedly
• Copyright-protected video signals
• Scrambled cable TV signals
• Signals with a sync signal and video signal that are extremely out of phase
4) The fan starts operating when the surrounding temperature is greater than 35 °C. The fan's rpm becomes faster as
the temperature increases; this is normal.
5) Screen-saver function (still image detection)
When an image having little to no motion such as a photograph or PC screen is displayed continuously, the brightness
slightly drops. To protect the plasma panel, the screen-saver function detects images with little to no motion then
automatically adjusts the brightness. This dimming is not an indication that the panel is failing.
Time until the screen-saver function operates:
• Normal-operation mode/menu mode: Approximate 3 minutes after the power is turned ON or after the input is
switched.
7 Self-diagnosis Function
When there is an connection or operation error, a message displays on the screen. After reading the contents of the
error message, refer to the chart below before checking the unit.

¶ If the cooling vents on the display are blocked, remove the obstacles blocking the
vents.
¶ There is a problem with the fan. Immediately turn OFF the power and contact the
Pioneer service center or dealer.
¶ An invalid operation was attempted. Check the input signals, connections and
settings.
¶ Turn the main power OFF, wait 1 or 2 minutes and turn the power ON again. If the
problem still persists, remove the power plug from the outlet and contact a Pioneer
service center or dealer.
Remedy

Maintenance
1) Always unplug the power cord from the power outlet before performing maintenance.
2) Cabinet and Remote-control Unit
Never use solvents such as benzene or thinner to clean the unit. Using such solvents could cause the cabinet and remote
control coating to degrade and peal.
Wipe the cabinet and remote control with a soft cloth. If there is heavy soiling, dip a soft cloth in clean water mixed with
a mild detergent. Ring out the water well then wipe soiled areas. Finish by absorbing any moisture with a soft, dry cloth.
3) Screen (front protection panel)
The screen (front protection panel) is treated with a special coating to prevent glare and is very delicate. To clean it,
gently wipe with a soft cloth to remove any dust. Do not clean the front screen with a tissue or rough cloth. Also,
absolutely do NOT use solvents such as benzene or thinner to clean the screen. The front panel could become
transparent or discolored.
The following cleaning cloths and cleaning liquid are recommended.
Name Part Number
Cleaning cloth: Wiping cloth AED1197
Cleaning cloth: Minimax GED-009
Cleaning liquid: B4 GEM1004
In the case of light soiling, remove the dust then gently wipe with a Minimax cloth. In the case of heavy soiling, remove
the dust then apply a small amount of B4 cleaning liquid to a small area of the Minimax cloth and clean again. If the B4
is left on the screen, the surface may become uneven. After the B4 has dried, wipe the screen with a dry Minimax cloth.
4) Vents
Dust should be removed from the cooling vents on the sides and rear of the unit and in the fan installation area once
a month with a vacuum cleaner set on LOW. The main power switch must be turned OFF before cleaning the vents.
Using the unit with accumulated dust causes the internal temperature to rise and could cause fire or other electrical
problems.
5) Readjustment of the White Balance
This unit uses phosphor elements as in a CRT display. Phosphor degrades over time, reducing the brightness. Since,
green and blue phosphor elements degrade faster than red, Pioneer recommends readjusting the white balance every
1000 hours.
