P ELIMINARYINSTRUCTIONS
WHERE TO PUT THE MONITOR
LIGHTING
Bright lights or direct sunlight will dull the picture. Position the monitor so that the
screen faces away from windows.
AIR CIRCULATION
Leave space for air to circulate behind the monitor. Keep it away from curtains
and other furnishings that could block ventilation.
HEAT DAMAGE
Damage may occur ifyou leavethe monitor in direct sunlight or near aheater.
OPTIMUM VIEWING DISTANCE
10 to23 feet isthe rangerecommendedfor viewingcomfort,
POWER SOURCE
This Projection Monitor operates on AC 120 V, standard household voltage.
NEVER CONNECT THE PROJECTION MONITOR TO OTHER THAN THE
SPECIFIED VOLTAGE, OR TO DIRECT CURRENT.
POWER OUTLET
• This monitor requires an AC 120 volt polarized outlet. The plug will fit only one
way. If it will not go in, turn it around and try the other way If you are still unable
to insert the plug, call an electrician to replace the wall socket.
eA damaged cord or plug is a fire hazard. If you notice wear or damage, have it
fixed by qualified service personnel.
• Plug directly into the wall socket. Do not use extension cords or other recepta-
cles. DO not overload the outlet: it is a fire hazard.
NOTE:
•Never remove the back cover of the Projection Monitor as this will expose you
to dangerously high voltage and other hazards. /f the monitor does not oper-
ate properly, unplug it and refer to page 38.
POWER-CORD CAUTION
Handle the power cord by the plug. Do not pull out the plug by tugging the cord
and never touch the power cord when your hands are wet as this could cause a
short circuit or electric shock. Do not place the monitor, a piece of furniture, etc.,
on the power cord, or pinch the cord. Never make a knot in the cord or tie it with
other cords. The power cords should be routed in such a way that they are not
likely to be stepped on. A damaged power cord can cause a fire or give you an
electrical shock. Check the power cord regularly. If you find it damaged, ask
,/our nearest PIONEER authorized service center or your deater for a replace-
ment.

INSTALL ,Ti0H
ANTENNA CONNECTION
Connect to an outdoor antenna, cable box or centralized an-
tenna terminal (see page 12 for details)•
MOUNTING
Downward si:_l lights or fluorescent lights in an overhead •Honey*
comb' prevent 0irect illumination of the screen¸
The Projection Monitor isdesigned to be placed on the floor
or on a sturdy platform. The mounting surface should be flat
and steady.
INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS:
Place of Installation
eWhen the Projection Monitor is operating, it is cooled by
air-flow through ventilation holes in the rear and bottom.
Therefore, avoid placing it in a location where the cooling
air-flow is hindered (e.g. against e waft).
eAvoid places subject to extremely high temperatures or
humidity, or to temperatures of 41 °F (5 *C) or lower. Also
avoid dusty places.
oDe not set the Projection Monitor in an unstable location
(such as on a shaky or tilted platform).
•When setting the Projection Monitor on a floor made of soft
material, make sure that the floor is not damaged by the
weight of the Projection Monitor.
elf the room temperature sudden/), rises (or if the Projection
Monitor is moved from a cool place to a hot place), con-
densation may form on the lenses, resulting in picture dis-
tortion or color fading. /f this occurs, simply wait a while
(with the POWER SW/TCH on) and the condensation will
disappear•
Cover shiny surfaces (floor and walls)
with non-reflective materials, tcamet,
rugs, wallpaper, etc.)
OPERATINGPRECAUTIONS
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 (60
cm) away from the Projection Monitor. Electric fans and
other motor driven appliances and toys may also be sources
of magnetism.
When moving the monitor
Pull out the plug and move the monitor carefully. Be particu-
larly careful not to bump or scratch the screen. To avoid
damage to the caster wheels you may need to lib the monitor
when going over irregular surfaces.
Install in a flat, steady place
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•
Adjust room illumination
Excessively bright or dim lighting may strain your eyes. Draw
the curtains if necessary to shut out direct sunlight.
When not using the monitor for a long time
For safety, unplug the power cord when leaving the monitor ,
turned off for a long period of time.
Condensation and picture blurring
eYou may see a blurred picture if the monitor is moved from
a coot to a warm location or if room temperature rises very
rapidly. This occurs when moisture from the air condenses
on the optical parts.
eThe picture will return to normal if you leave the monitor
turnedoff for 1or 2 hours, then turnedon.
eA gradual change in temperature can prevent condensa-
tion from forming,
A word abou_ still pictures
oDe not project a stiff picture on your Monitor for a long pen-
ed of time.
(For example: when using your Monitor for video games,
monitoring your personal computer, or while playing back
videodiscs.) This can adversely affect the monitor's CRT. if
this cannot be avoided, reduce the contrast of the picture
in order to minimize any damage which might occur

q_l_ baltenes
Incorrect use of batteries may lead to leakage or
rupture. Always be sure to follow these guidelines:
A.
Always insert batteries into the battery compartment correct-
ly matching the positive + and negative -- polarities, as indi-
cated inside the compartment.
B.
Never mix new and used batteries.
C.
Batteries of the same size may have different voltages, de-
pending on their type. Do not mix different type of batteries.
REMOTECONTROLOPERATIONRANGE
• Point the remote conti'ol unit toward the front of the Pro-
jection Monitor when you press any of the control keys.
eThe remote control unit should be effective at distances
of up to about 23 feet (7 m) from the Projection Monitor
and at angles of up to about 30 degrees from a line per-
pendicular to the front panel.
eFurniture and other obstacles may block the infrared light
beam so that it cannot reach the sensor on the Projection
Monitor's front panel.
elf there is no response even when the remote control is
used directly in front of the monitor, the dry cell batteries
may need replacement.
ePerformance of the remote control unit is adversely af-
fected by strong fluorescent light. Keep such lights away
from the sensor window in particular.
