Proper installation of your PD520 will ensure the highest possible picture quality. Whether you are installing the PD520 temporarily or permanently, you should take the following into account to ensure that it performs optimally.

You can either place the PD520 on a table or in an entertainment center, or mount it on a wall.

If you do decide to wall-mount the PD520, ensure that the wall-mount bracket is installed according to the instructions included with it. The wall must be capable of supporting a redundant weight factor three (3) times the weight of the display, or be reinforced.

Planar recommends that this be done by a custom installation specialist.

Note

Use only the Planar-approved wall-mount kit designed for

your display.

 

3.3 Installation Considerations

Wall-Mounting the PD520

In general, minimize or eliminate light sources directed at the display. Contrast

Ambient Light

ratio in your images will be noticeably reduced if light directly strikes the display,

 

such as when a shaft of light from a window or floodlight falls on the image.

 

Images may then appear washed out and less vibrant.

 

Other considerations and tips that can help improve your installation:

Other Considerations

• Keep the ambient temperature constant and below 35°C (95°F). Keep the

 

display away from heating and/or air conditioning vents. Changes in

 

temperature may cause drifts in the display circuitry, which may affect

 

performance.

 

• Keep the PD520 away from devices that radiate electromagnetic energy

 

such as motors and transformers. Common sources of these include slide

 

projectors, speakers, power amplifiers and elevators.
