INSTALLING THE MONITOR

INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS:

•Keep away from magnetic fields

The picture may be distorted if strong magnetic fields are nearby. External speakers should be set at least 2 feet (60cm) away from the Projection Monitor. Electric fans and other motor driven appliances and toys may also be sources of magnetism.

•Bright light or direct sunlight will dull the picture. Position the Projection Monitor so that the screen faces away from windows.

•While the Projection Monitor is operating, it is cooled by airflow through ventilation holes in the rear and bottom. Therefore, avoid placing it in a location where the cooling airflow is hindered (e. g. against a wall).

•Avoid places subject to extremely high temperatures or humidity, or to temperatures of 41°F (5°C) or lower. Also avoid dusty places.

•If setting the Projection Monitor on a floor made of soft material, make sure that the floor will not damaged by the weight of the Projection Monitor.

•Do not put the Projection Monitor on a surface that is tilted, unsteady or prone to shake or vibrate. A shaky or slanted platform is dangerous.

•Cover shiny surfaces (floor and walls) with non reflective materials (carpet, rugs, wallpaper, etc.).

CARE OF YOUR PROJECTION MONITOR

DO NOT:

•Do not use strong cleansers, solvents, polishes, or chemically treated cloths to clean the screen or cabinet.

•Do not touch or scratch the screen.

•Do not fasten or place rubber or vinyl items on the Monitor.

•Do not stick adhesive tape onto the Monitor.

•Do not put any object on the Monitor.

DO:

•Use a soft cloth to dust the screen and cabinet.

•Handle the screen with care to avoid scratches or damages.

•Ask your dealer or a Pioneer authorized service center to clean the interior of the monitor in your area if the picture brightness is too low even with the max. level. This may be caused by dust buildup inside.

USAGE GUIDELINES & PRECAUTIONS

All phosphor-based screens can be affected by displaying static or virtually static images for a prolonged period of time. After-image and permanent effects on the screen can be avoided by taking some basic precautions. By following the recommendations listed below, you can ensure longer and satisfactory results from your television.

INTRODUCTION

OPERATING PRECAUTIONS

Optimum viewing distance

10 to 23 feet is the range recommended for viewing comfort.

Adjust room illumination

Excessively bright or dim lighting may strain your eyes. Draw the curtains if necessary to shut out direct sunlight.

Condensation and picture blurring

•If the room temperature suddenly rises (or if the Projection Monitor is moved from a cool place to a hot place), condensation may form on the lenses resulting in picture distortion or color fading. If this occurs, simply wait a while (with the power switch ON) and the condensation will disappear.

•A gradual change in temperature can prevent condensation from forming.

•Whenever possible, avoid continuously displaying static or virtually static images on your Monitor (e.g., still images, TV/video games, close- captioning, computer programs, or other images with static or virtually static portions).

•Avoid viewing the On-Screen Display for extended periods from a digital tuner, DVD player, VCR and all other components.

•Do not leave the same picture freeze-framed or paused continuously over a long period of time when using the still picture mode from VCR, DVD player, or other component.

•Images which have very bright areas and very dark areas side by side should not be displayed for a prolonged period of time.

•When playing a game, the "GAME" mode setting (page 52) within "Picture Adjustment Settings" is strongly recommended. It is also recommended that such be limited to less than two (2) hours at a time.

•After displaying static or virtually static images on your Monitor, it is recommended that you view a normal moving picture in the "WIDE" or "FULL" screen setting for three (3) times longer than the time the static or virtually static images were displayed.
