•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

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

w_se, connect the left speaker's I_US and minus terrninal wires to
the "L" "+" and "--" terminals.
Precautions
oMake sure that exposed wires do not protrude end touch
each other.
elf you do not hear a normal stereo image when listening to
a stereo program, it may be because the "+" and "--" con-
nections are reversed for one of the external speakers.
eMake sure that the right speaker is connected to the "R"
terminals and the left speaker to the "L" teminals. Make
sure that each speaker's two wires are properly connected
to the appropriate "+" and "--" terminals.
NOTES:
eUse speakers with an impedance rating ranging from 8
ohms to 16 ohms.
OOrdinary speakers are not magnetically shielded and may
disturb the picture ff placed too close to the monitor. If you
notice a problem, move the speakers about 2feet (60 cm)
away from the monitor.
SPEAKER SELECTOR SWITCH
Set this switch to the INT position if you will be listening to the

Programmable remote control functions
This remote control unitcan "learn" the commands of other remote
control units, regardless of their rnanufaoturer, as tong as the other
unit isof the infrared type. In some cases you may still need the
original remote control unit, but you will be able to use this unit
for most of your video as well as audio system control needs.
NOTE:
It is adwsable to program the unit ma room separate from the
system with which it is to be used. This wlllprevent problems such
as sudden high.volume output or eccidentaJtape erasure that may
occur ff command signals reach your components dunng program.
ruing. Or, you may wish to unplug your component system and
conduct programming in the same room. Simply turning off the
power may not be sufficient s_ncepower on!off switching may also
be remote controllable. Also do not throw away the original remote
control units after programming. You might need the ong/nal ones
in the future.
This remotecont rot unit contains preprogrammed commands com-
pa_ib_ewith PIONEER equipment. Ityou_ home audiolvideo cente_
consists exclusively of PIONEER components, you can use the
unit withoutany additional programming Itis also possible to return
to the origina! PIONEER commends after ass!grog other com-
mends. (Refer to "Returning to the initial Settings" for details)
Which keys can be programmed with new
commands?
Setting the LEARN MODE switch to the LEARN position allows
the unitto memorize codes. Once programmed, these new com-
mands can be transmitted only when the LEARN MODE switch
is in the USE position. The SR RECALL setting will only allow
transmission of the initialized PIONEER [] codes
For LD/VCR controls in area _, the keys can be programmed
with adl_tereril command 1tomanother remote 1or each TRANSMIT
MODE. In other words, each key can have up to three different
functions, differentiated by the setting of the TRANSMIT MODE.
For POWER and other ]_/controls in area _), each key can be
programmed with only a single command, regardless of the
TRANSMIT MODE setting.
Other Important Notes
eA total of 44 other codas can be memorized using these keys
(This may vary depending on the command format of the codes
to be memorized.)
eThere are 2 keys on the unit for recording, to help prevent mis-
operation. TO start recording, or to memorize a command
code with the REC keys, both of them must be pressed at the
same time.
eWhen the batteries run down, all functions will stop automatical-
ly. If the indicators no longer light or flash or components co
not respond to signals from the unit, the batteries need to be
replaced. (Atways use elkatine cells.)
