read this manual and all labels found on equipment before attempting to mount, install, move, or adjust the product. • Do not install the unit outside or in open air. Doing so will lead to water seepage into the system, resulting in fire or electric shock. • Be especially careful when working around parts of the system that have sharp edges. • When performing installation work from a height, take suitable precautions to guard against falling. Set up a barrier around the work site to prevent accidentally-dropped objects from injuring persons standing or walking below. • Keep all foreign objects out of the unit. Do not tamper with the unit, or fire or electric shock may result. • Observe the following operating environmental limitations: Temperature: 0 to 40°C Humidity: 20 to 80% • Install the unit only in properly ventilated areas.
4 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 • Multiple input and output terminals (four inputs and eight outputs) are provided Features

16 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. Installation Site Requirements
17 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 Site Requirements
18 Installation Conditions 3.2 Installation Conditions 3.2.1 Heat dissipation This unit has openings for effective ventilation at locations marked by arrows in the illustration below. To allow proper dissipation of heat from the unit, avoid blocking or covering any of these openings. Fan (4 in number) Air flow through the openings: All four fans exhaust hot air from the unit.

Refer to 3.4 Special Installation. 96.5 35 75 Ø 5 10 345 70 45 54 85 215 255
19 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.)

21 Installation Conditions D. Secured at four points (with mounting hardware attached horizontally) (Take proper precautions to prevent pinching the power cord or signal cables) 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.

23 2) Unpacking procedures 1 Remove the packing bands. 2 Slowly lift and remove the upper carton [“top portion of the packaging”]. 3 Lift and remove the reinforcement packaging. (Upper protective pad C is held in place by adhesive tape) 4 Remove the L and R upper cartons. 5 Remove the side, front, and rear cartons. (At this stage, the product is supported by packing materials) 6 Remove the operating manual and accessories, which are secured to the lower carton by adhesive tape. 7 Remove the unit. (This should be performed by more than two persons) 3) Transportation of the unpacked unit 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 trans- portation. • 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 Cutout providing access to the power switch Cutout allowing control of using the remote
24 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 reli- able 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 occa- sional 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 installa- tions, securing cables with string should be perfectly adequate. For permanent installations, secure by more reliable means.
25 4) Arranging and securing cables with speed clamps and bead bands • Cables may also be drawn around to the right, viewed from this side. 1 Secure cables with speed clamps. 1 2 Insert part 1 into an opening in the rear cover, then insert part 2, as shown. 2 Bundle cables using bead bands. Cords Fastening points for speed clamps Bundled cables can be drawn to the left or right. Depending on specific requirements, you may use the four openings indicated by solid circles ( ¶). How to unlock the speed clamp Use a pair of pliers to twist the clamp by at least a quarter-turn and pull outward. Remember that this procedure entails risk of damaging the clamp. * Display viewed from the rear. Fasten cables using the supplied speed clamps. Remember that speed clamps are not easily removed, once fastened. 1 Secure cables with the supplied bead bands. 2 Installation Procedures

Remember, no last memory function is executed if you perform the following without meeting these timing requirements: • Switch off main power • Unplug the power cord from the outlet; and • Switch off the outlet breaker. Before Beginning Adjustments NOTE: If you start or stop the entire system by switching a breaker on or off, allow enough time for the last memory function to perform by satisfying the timing requirements given above. Note that this practice causes count errors on the hour meter. 5.1.6 Aging After switching on power to the unit, input signals to perform aging until the unit stabilizes. Use signals that are unlikely to cause the displayed images to be “burned” onto the screen: signals such as a 100% white signal or animations from LDs are recommended. This should take about thirty minutes. This ensures precision adjustments. NOTE: Display of still images over extended periods can lead to the above-mentioned “burning.”
70 Normal Operating Mode 5.2 Normal Operating Mode 5.2.1 About normal operating mode Normal operating mode enables the following: 1 Input switching • Pressing one of INPUT buttons, 1-4 —> Input switches over to the selected input. • Pressing the INPUT button on the operating panel of the main unit —> This switches the input to the next input. 2 Screen-size switching • Repeatedly pressing the SCREEN SIZE button on the remote changes screen size in the following sequence: At INPUT 1 or 2, or when reproducing video signals via INPUT 3 or 4 = FULL = ZOOM = CINEMA WIDE = NATURAL WIDE = 4:3 NORMAL = When reproducing PC signals via INPUT 3 or 4 = ORIGINAL = 4:3 NORMAL = FULL = ZOOM = NOTE: • During video playback, switching screen size to ZOOM or CINEMA WIDE permits scrolling the screen up and down with the 5 and ∞ buttons (V-SCROLL function). The V-scroll function provides the following variable ranges: ±25 steps on ZOOM ±15 steps on CINEMA WIDE See “5.1.3 List of supported input signals.” • Displays with “(TYPE)” appended, such as FULL (TYPE), will sometimes appear, indicating a simplified reproduction. • Check for possible copyright infringement before using the screen-size switching feature of this unit in restaurants, hotels, or other public venues, or for commercial purposes. 3 Display call • Press the DISPLAY button on the remote. = The current input function, the incoming signal’s horizontal and vertical frequencies, current screen size, and other characteristics are displayed on the screen.

79 7) Setting the Clamp Position Plugging in RGB (G ON SYNC) signals and a sync signal simultaneously may produce inappropriate intensity reproduction, with an over-bright screen or images with a greenish cast. If this occurs, set CLAMP to MODE 2. For most situations, leave CLAMP to MODE 1. Clamp pulse (a timing pulse necessary for intensity reproduction) is generated in two ways, “a” and “b,” as shown in Figure 1. Figure 1 Generation of a clamp pulse Figure 2 When a sync signal is supplied simultaneously with G ON SYNC Sync signals are monitored in CLAMP MODE 1, and the unit is automatically switched to generate a clamp pulse by method “a” shown in Figure 1 in the presence of sync signal, and by method “b” in the absence of a sync signal. But when a sync signal is fed simultaneously with G ON SYNC, the unit perceives a sync signal and generates a clamp pulse as shown in “a” in Figure 1. The generated clamp pulse is mistimed, making correct reproduction of intensity impossible. In this case, unplug the sync signal or set CLAMP to MODE 2. In CLAMP MODE 2, the clamp pulse is generated by method “b” in Figure 1, whether or not a sync signal is present, ensuring correct reproduction of intensity. NOTE: The figures above are for illustrative purposes only. Menu Mode a. Generating a clamp pulse from separate sync Clamp effective area G (Green) H (Sync signal) Clamp pulse b.

Select EXIT in screen 2 to return to screen 1. 5) Setting the Baud Rate When controlling or adjusting the unit from a PC, the RS-232C port can be set to one of five baud rates: 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600 and 19200 bps. The factory-preset value is 4800 bps. Set the unit baud rate to match that of the PC in use. With long RS-232C cables, we recommend using lower baud rates.
93 6) Mirror Mode This mode enables you to reproduce incoming images upside down and the left side of the original appearing on the right and the right side on the left. (Activated, this mode is, like the colour mode, effective on whichever input function (INPUTs 1-4) is selected.) This mode is intended for smart cable arrangement, making it possible to draw bundled cables upwards (towards the ceiling) when this display is mounted upside down using the ceiling hanging hardware PDK-5002. MIRROR MODE OFF MIRROR MODE-XY NOTES: • This function is not available when standard rate RGB signals (15.6 kHz x 50 Hz, 15.7 kHz x 60 Hz) are reproducing (no images would show up). • In using the PDK-5002 mount kit, observe the operating temperature and other limitations specified under the heading, 4.4.

STD-RGB applies to INPUTs 3 and 4 simultaneously. Changing the setting in step 2 switches both inputs immediately to ON or OFF. Select EXIT in screen 2 to return to screen 1. 7) Setting STD-RGB The STD-RGB needs to be set to ON when letting the display show standard rate (15.6 kHz x 50 Hz or 15.7 kHz x 60 Hz) RGB signals coming from external RGB processors or similar units. (With STD-RGB set to OFF, no standard rate RGB signals show up on the display screen.) The primary image quality is not, however, ensured when the STD-RGB is set to ON because this setting simplifies the video signal processing. Note: The mirror mode (see 5-3-4, paragraph 6) is not available when a RGB signal is replayed at standard speeds (15.7 kHz x 60 Hz or 15.6 kHz x 50 Hz); in this case no images are displayed on the screen in Mirror mode.

Select EXIT in screen 3 to return to screen 2. 4 Make the necessary adjustments. Adjustments can be made using the “ 2“ and “ 3” buttons on the remote or the “–” and “ ” buttons on the operating panel of the main unit. Each item may be set to a value from 0 through 255. Press the SET button to return to screen 2. SIDE MASK ADJ. applies to each input (INPUTs 1-4) without exception. All inputs after the SIDE MASK adjustments are made in step 3 are automatically switched to the set value. 8) Adjusting the Side Mask The side mask adjusts the brightness of no-image areas appearing on the fringe of the screen when the screen size is set to 4:3 NORMAL or to ORIGINAL, for example. The brightness of each colour of RGB can be adjusted separately. (Adjusting the side mask momentarily causes the screen size to be switched over.) In adjusting the side mask, think of how video signals develop with time and also of a balance in the brightness between the adjacent display sets. NOTE: SIDA MARK adjustment is unavailable for (4.5kHz x 60Hz or 33.75kHz x 60Hz) signal inputs.

109 CONTROL ROOM Combination Connection 5.6 Combination Connection This connection method is useful for operating and adjusting multiple units from a single PC. By assigning IDs (refer to “5.6.2”) to each unit, you can control them either simultaneously or individually. Example: Controlling and “staging” multiple installed units 5.6.1 Connections As shown below, connecting multiple units allows you to control all of them from a single PC. You may use either combination input or control port (RS-232C connector), but not both at once. Using both simultaneously will result in malfunction or system breakdown. Don’t connect combination inputs to other combination inputs or combination outputs to other combination outputs. General-purpose Mini DIN6 (straight) cables may be used as combination cables.

110 Combination Connection 5.6.2 Assigning IDs When connection is complete, assign an ID to each unit in the system. This assignment is made on your PC. Commands: IDC (ID CLEAR) clearing an assigned ID IDS (ID SET) assigning an ID IDS is valid only when no ID has been assigned yet. The lowest ID is assigned to the unit directly connected to the PC, the next higher ID number to the second unit, and so on. Example: In the case of four connected units (when assigning IDs for the first time from your PC): Issuing commands in the order shown above assigns IDs to the units in your system. The units should be connected by combination cables, as shown on the previous page. Once an ID is assigned to a unit, the unit receives only those commands bearing that ID. When issuing a command to a unit, attach the appropriate ID at the beginning of the command. For IDs, you may use numbers from 0 to 9 and letters A to F (case-insensitive). Asterisks (*) may be used as in the following examples: **IDC: Clears all assigned IDs. *1AJY: Places all units having a second ID digit of 1 into adjustment mode. 2*IN1: Switches the function of all units with a first ID digit of 2 to INPUT 1. Cautions about ID Assignment Clearing an ID for any unit removes all following units from control from the computer. Issuing an <**IDC> command removes all units from control except the first unit (the unit having ID 11 in the illustration above). In this case, issuing a command of 11 IDS makes the second unit controllable from the computer. That is, assigning an ID to a unit makes it possible to control the following connected unit. Personal Computer **AJY 11 IDS **AJY 12 IDS **AJY 21 IDS **AJY 22 IDS Unit ID=11 Unit ID=12 Unit ID=21 Unit ID=22 Commands to be issued

113 KEY LOCK/UNLOCK 5.7 KEY LOCK/UNLOCK 5.7.1 Functions In KEY LOCK status, the operating panel of the main unit and the remote control unit are disabled, preventing any other person from disturbing the work in progress. (RS-232C commands in this status remain effective.) Attempting to operate the operating panel of the main unit or the remote control unit in this status will display “KEY LOCK” in the upper right corner of the screen. This unit is factory preset to KEY UNLOCK, with the main unit’s operating panel and remote control unit both enabled. 5.7.2 How to switch KEY LOCK/UNLOCK Two methods are available: 1) With the Operating Panel of the Main Unit (a hidden button is provided for this purpose) Locate and press the KEY LOCK/UNLOCK button hidden in the opening between the STANDBY/ON and INPUT buttons on the main unit’s operating panel. This hidden button toggles KEY between LOCK and UNLOCK. Pressing this KEY LOCK/UNLOCK button while in Menu mode, Integrator mode, or RS-232C adjustment mode automatically places the unit in Normal operating mode, and at the same time invokes KEY LOCK status. 2) Using RS-232C Commands Enter the RS-232C adjustment mode and perform <AJY>. Issue a <KLY> command to invoke KEY LOCK status, or issue a <KLN> command to invoke KEY UNLOCK. Precautions and Recommendations for Operations
114 6.1 About the Pseudo-Contour When images representing a series of different brightness or color tones (such as human skin tones) move at a certain speed, they are sometimes accompanied by striped shadows. This pattern is known as pseudo-contour. This phenomenon is an optical illusion deriving from the plasma display’s characteristic tone wedge, and is not found with still images. Using our new driver method, we’ve succeeded in significantly reducing pseudo-contour, making it possible to achieve quality video, particularly for motion pictures. However, this phenomenon may appear when • MP mode is switched OFF for PC input • A 1028 x 768, 87-Hz (interlaced) signal is supplied, whether MP mode is switched OFF or ON. 6.2 Cautions 1) If the display shuts down on its own and will not power up again for some time, an abnormal condition (parts breakdown, for example) is the likely cause. Turn off the main power switch for the plasma display and switch it on again after waiting several seconds. If the display shuts down, it needs to be repaired. If it remains powered up, there is no problem, and you may continue using it. 2) Displaying the same images (still images, telops, etc.) for extended periods may cause them to be burned on to the screen. You can avoid this problem by remaining aware of the software content in use, playback method, system configuration, and other factors. 3) The following signals may damage the screen: • Multifold-generated copy of VTR signals • Copyright-protected VTR signals • Scrambled CATV signals • Signals with significantly phase-shifted sync and video signals 4) Images are blacked out for approximately one to three seconds when input is switched, to permit the plasma display driver to temporarily suspend operation while video memory to refresh. When you switch input between different frequencies, a longer black-out interval is needed (approximately up to three seconds) due to the array of data to be changed in video memory. Allow for this interval when “staging” video. 5) The fan will begin spinning faster as ambient temperature rises beyond 25°C. This is normal. 6) About the plasma panel’s screen-saver feature (Detection of still images) Brightness will drop slightly when photo images or slow-moving images, such as those supplied by PCs, are shown for extended periods. The unit detects the lack of motion and automatically dims the screen brightness to protect the plasma display panel. This is normal and does not indicate a problem. The feature generally kicks in approximately five minutes after powering-up or switching input in Normal operating mode. This feature does not function in RS-232C adjustment mode (AJY) or in Integrator mode. 7) Software problems We have encountered the following problems with the microcomputer software version 5435A: • The still-image detector functions in RS-232C adjustment mode (AJY) = Make adjustments while performing <AJN> every five minutes. • The still-image detector does not function after exiting Integrator mode = Switch power off, then switch it back on after exiting Integrator mode. We apologize for these problems. You may compensate for them using the methods described above. About the Pseudo-Contour
115 1) Unplug the Power Cord from the Outlet. 2) Cabinet and Remote Never use solvents such as benzene or thinner, which can damage or destroy the coating of the cabinet or the remote. Remove dirt by lightly wiping with a soft cloth. If necessary, slightly moisten the cloth with neutral detergent diluted with water. In humid conditions, wipe off condensation with a dry cloth. 3) Screen (Front Protection Panel) The screen surface (front protection panel) is coated with a delicate anti-glare material. To clean the screen, dust off and wipe lightly with a soft cloth. Do not rub with tissue paper or hard abrasive materials. Never use solvents such as benzene and thinner, which can discolor or render the screen opaque. For cleaning, we recommend the following cloth and fluid. Name Part Number Cleaning Cloth: Wiping Cloth AED1174 Cleaning Cloth: Minimax GED-009 Cleaning Liquid: B4 GEM1004 For light soiling, dust off particles, then lightly wipe with Minimax. For heavy soiling, dust off particles, then wipe with the end of Minimax lightly moistened with B4. Once the surface dries, wipe with dry Minimax. 4) Vent Every month, remove dirt from the vent openings that house fans on the sides and rear of the main unit, using a vacuum cleaner set to its lowest suction setting. Be sure to switch off the main power on the main unit before cleaning the vents. Blocked vents can lead to dangerously high internal temperatures, resulting in malfunctions or fire. 5) Readjustment of White Balance This unit uses phosphor elements, as do CRTs. These phosphors degrade over time, reducing brightness. Since green and blue phosphors degrade faster than red, we recommend readjusting the white balance every 1000 hours. Maintenance and Cleaning
