3.1 Installation environment
The plasma display and special metal fixture must be installed after careful discussion with the building owner and
manager of the building. Never undertake installation without careful consideration of the consequences. In addition,
contact the contractor responsible for building construction and interior structure design and confirm the structure and
safety of the building.
: Safety precautions
1) Structure of installation site
Be sure to use an appropriate installation method, after fully understanding the structure of the installation site.
There are many types of building structures and materials, and appropriate installation methods will vary accordingly.
When using a special metal mounting fixture, consult your dealer or the maker of the fixture.
Before drilling holes, always consider the location of wiring and piping within the building.
2) Load resistance of the installation site
Select an installation site capable of supporting the combined weight of the metal fixture and display.
“Sufficient strength to withstand” means sufficient strength to withstand a weight four times that of the
main body including the metal fixture.
3) Horizontal plane
Select a level, sturdy, installation site with sufficient load-bearing capacity.
When using suspension bolts, take care to distribute load evenly on the ceiling on the floor of the installation site.
4) Securing installation space
Select an installation site with adequate space for working. This work requires two or more people.
Remember to leave adequate space for future maintenance.
5) Peripheral equipment
Installation sites close to air conditioner outlets or light bulbs may be unsuitable due to potential damage from
dust, temperature, humidity, or condensation.
6) Dangerous location sites
Do not install the display at locations where it may be leaned against or grasped. Similarly, avoid installing at sites
subject to excessive vibration or physical shock.
7) Lighting
• For more visible display, avoid installation in very bright locations. Before choosing the location site and
method,carefully consider the location of lighting fixtures and direction and strength of sunlight.
• In bright locations, images may appear dark even if the luminance is increased. Adjusting picture brightness to
excessively high levels to compensate for extremely bright ambient lighting may reduce the service life of the
display panel.
8) Semi-outdoor installation
This machine is designed for indoor use. Installed semi-outdoors, the display will be subject to problems resulting
involving the following factors:
• Water, dust, etc.
• Changing temperature and humidity
• Air-borne salt
To ensure that pictures appear normal, avoid installation in locations subject to direct sunlight.
Installation environment

13
9) Temperature and humidity
The installation site should conform to the following temperature and humidity conditions:
• Operating temperature range: 0 to 40 °C (Depending somewhat on installation conditions, see descriptions of
special installations and methods for installation of the standard metal fixture.)
Operating environment humidity range .............. Relative humidity 20% to 80%
Operating environment air pressure range ......... 0.8 - 1.1 atmospheric pressure
Storage conditions (plasma display panel alone)
Storage ambient temperature range ...................... -20 to 60°C (Temperature gradient (10°C/hr. or less)
Storage ambient humidity range ............................ 20 to 90% (without condensation)
Storage ambient air pressure range ....................... 0.6 - 1.5 atmospheric pressure
Storage conditions (Package state)
Storage environment temperature range ............... –40 to 60 °C
Storage environment humidity range ..................... Relative humidity 20% to 90%
Storage ambient air pressure range ....................... 0.6 - 1.5 atmospheric pressure
We recommend against installing electronic equipment, including this display, in high-humidity environments. If
the display must be installed at a site subject to humid conditions, observe the following:
• Never install the machine in environments having humidity falling outside the specification range.
• Ground the equipment.
• Do not allow condensation to form on any display surface.
• Do not allow water or other liquids to enter the unit.
10) Condensation
One common problem encountered during winter is condensation, drops of water that form on display surfaces
when the ambient temperature rises suddenly. Such moisture may adversely affect the performance of the display.
If condensation is observed, turn off the machine for one hour before attempting to use it again. Another solution
is to raise the ambient temperature gradually, if possible.
11) Power requirements
The voltage range required to ensure specified performance is ±10% of the rated voltage. Keep in mind that high-
impedance power distributing wires will produce an effect equivalent to a voltage drop. Watch for the following
cases, and recheck power distribution.
• The voltage drop between the switchboard and the plasma display is significant.
• When the power to the machine is turned on and off, voltage fluctuations are large.
Estimate the power consumption of this machine as 400 VA plus a safety margin.
The inrush current when the machine is turned on is approximately 70 A <30 A>.
< > shows the PDP-V402E.
12) Coverage of the remote control
The display communicates with the remote control through weak infrared signals, which typically reflect off display
surroundings. The operating range of the remote is affected by the reflective characteristics of surrounding objects.
If the range of coverage appears to be unusually short, check the following:
• Do the walls and platform for the display have a mirror or white finish?
• Are there objects near the infrared-accepting section?
• Are the remote control batteries weak or dead?
Other devices using infrared remote control and wireless systems may not work properly if located close to the
infrared-emission source of the display. Consult your dealer before using such equipment near the display.

3.2.2 Calculating calorific values
Estimate the maximum power consumption per device as 400 W plus a safety margin. Most of the power consumed
is converted to heat, so power consumption is roughly equivalent to generated heat.
1) Conversion to calories
[W] × 0.86 = [kcal/h]
Calorific value per display
400 × 0.86 = 344 [kcal/h]
2) Conversion to British thermal unit (BTU)
[W] × 3.41 = [B.t.u./h]
Calorific value per display
400 × 3.41 = 1256 [B.t.u./h]
Air flows out through five of the ventilation holes and flows in through the other holes. For special installations, such
as wall-hanging or embedding, additional restrictions apply concerning operating temperature. See “3.4 Special
installations”.

3.2.3 Installation position
We recommend using the metal installation fixture made by Pioneer. When using a different fixture, use the M8 bolt
hole provided on this display to mount the fixture to the display. Remove the hole rivets on the back of the plasma
display, if necessary for the particular fixture. Tighten bolts with a force of 60 kg.cm or less. Overtightening may
damage the blind nuts.
• The following figure indicates mounting holes that can be used. (Use a coin or similar object to turn the cap to
remove it.)
Installation conditions
Make sure to use 4 or more holes that are horizontally or vertically symmetrical to the centerline.
Use bolts that do not penetrate more than 13 to 20 mm from the mounting surface of the machine (see the above
side view). If the bolts used are longer than the above, they may damage the inside of the machine.
Do not block ventilating holes or blowholes in the rear of the machine.
Hot air is emitted from the ventilating holes.
Care must be taken not to weaken or soil the wall at the back of the machine with the hot air from the holes.
Glass is used in this machine. It must always be mounted on the straight face.
Make sure to finger tighten the bolts 2 or 3 times, and after confirming that the bolts are inserted in the right
direction, use the tool for final tightening.
Make sure to use M8 (p=1.25) bolts (Any other bolts should not be used).

3.2.4 Strain on surface where equipment is installed
1 This display uses glass in its display section. When using a third-party metal fixture, check that strain is 1 mm or
less by the following method.
2 Tightly fit a thread using a force of
φ
0.1psi or less diagonally through the mounting bolt openings on the mounting
surface, as shown in the drawing.
3 Measure distance L of the intersection of the strings in the center section.
The relationship between strain and L is given by Strain = L × 2.
4 If L is 0, interchange the front and rear positions of two strings and check the distance again. If the value of L is not
0, it is the true value of L. If L is 0 after the position is changed, strain is approximately 0.

* Regarding the distortion of 1 mm or below:
It is possible that the housing of this device causes a maximum distortion of about 3 mm. It is also possible that
this device causes stress on the glass when this device suffers a distortion of 4 mm or more. Therefore, make
sure to keep the distortion on the mounting surface within 1 mm so that the total distortion should remain less
than 4 mm including the distortion of the housing itself under it.

Installation procedure
3.3.3 Wiring
1) Power source connection
• Refer to Power cord connection on page 24 <36, 82> of the instruction manual.
• For power source capacity, see the description given in “3.1 Installation environment, 11) Power requirements”
in this manual.
2) Signal cable connection
(1) Connecting to a PC
• See the description given in Connecting to a PC , on pp. 19 to 20 <26 to 29, 72 to 75> of the instruction
manual.
(2) Connecting to a video cassette recorder
• See the description given in Connection to a video cassette recorder , on pp. 21 to 23 <30 to 35, 76 to
81> of the instruction manual.
(3) Precautions
• Use coaxial cables. For video signals, use the 3C-2V for lengths of 15 m or less, and the 5C-2V for lengths of
30 m or less. Since data signals are more easily degraded than video signals, use a thick cable (e.g. a 5C-2V
cable) for data communications, even for lengths of 15 m or less. Try to minimize the distance between the
signal transmission device and the plasma display unit.
• If a video cable is wired close to a dimmer, neon tube, air conditioner, or other device, or if it is wired in
parallel to a cable television cable, display performance may be affected.
< > shows the PDP-V402E.
3) Treatment of wires
• For long-term or permanent installations, rather than short-term installations for specific events, use wires of
the proper length, carefully considering the placement of all other wires.
• Place wires so that no load or force is applied to the connecting terminals. For short-term use, wires may be
bundled with string. For long-term installations, form wire bunches using cable clamps.
4) Mounting cable clamp
Use a cable clamp to form cable bunches in the upward direction, as shown in the drawing.
Cable clamps are supplied for bundling connection cables.
Follow these steps when using cable clamps:
Caution
Peel off the label covering the mounting holes before attaching the cable clamps.
When cables are inserted in a cable clamp, keep the clamp at least 10 cm from the wall to allow
ventilation.
<Back>
Peel off the paper at the back and insert the supplied
cable clamp into the mounting holes until it clicks.

Special installations (Fixing on a structure)
3.4 Special installations
This display may be installed in several different positions, including wall-hanging and wall-embedding. Conditions,
including temperature, may restrict the use of certain positions or installation methods.
Consider installation methods and conditions, and see the description given in “3.1 to 3.3” in this chapter.
All the measurement conditions in this manual are set in conformity with the following:
• 100% white light is applied.
• After sufficient aging
All measurements should be performed under the same conditions. The aging time needed for measurement
depends on the size of the installation space, but the standard time is approximately 2.5 hours.
“Sufficient strength to withstand” means sufficient strength to withstand a weight four times that of the main body
including the metal fixture.
3.4.1 Fixing on a structure
To fix the machine on a structure, observe the following conditions:
1 When fixing on a structure, make sure to install the display in a complete open-air condition (a condition that has no

4.1 Functions and features of standard metal fixtures
Our plasma display (PDP-V402 <PDP-V402E>) features a large screen, high luminance, and high picture quality. In
addition, the plasma display is so light and thin that it can be installed in a far wider area than competing displays now
on the market.
The PDP-V402 <PDP-V402E> is designed so that it can be installed in different ways, as we have taken the operating
environment and installation structure in consideration. To take advantage of this flexibility in installation methods, you
can select one of the following standard metal fixtures:
¶ Down converter: PDA-4003
This is a high performance down converter, which allows our plasma display PDP-V402 to display the XGA (images
of 1024 x 768 pixels). It enables the plasma display to deliver considerably sharp images, minimizing missing information
such as very fine characters or lines.
¶ Tilting stand: PDK-4001
The angle of the PDK-4001 tilting stand can be adjusted in a range from 0° to 20° from vertical. With this stand, you
can adjust the tilt of a plasma display installed on a desk or floor to suit your eyes.
¶ One-sided, ceiling-suspension the metal fixture for the plasma display: PDK-4002
With this simple support fixture, you can adjust the installation angle between ± 45° from right to left and up to 25°
down from horizontal. The depth of the display with this metal fixture at the time of installation is less than or equal
to 170 mm when the display is installed vertically. This fixture can cover a large area depending on the application.
¶ Double-sided, ceiling-suspension the metal fixture for the plasma display: PDK-4003
The metal fixture for double-sided installation makes good use of the display’s thin, light structure. This fixture
enables double-sided installations of less than or equal to 470 mm when the display is installed vertically, something
which is not possible with other displays on the market.
¶ Ceiling-suspension metal fixture for the plasma display (hand screw type): PDK-4004
This low-cost metal fixture uses a bolt, and allows you to adjust the angle up to 25° down from horizontal. It is
suitable for installing the display in rooms having a standard ceiling height (2.40 – 2.70 m).
¶ PDP bracket: PDK-4005
The PDK-4005 bracket can be used when handling the display during transport or installation. You can also use this
bracket as a frame for wire-hanging or wall-installation. It is best suited to rental applications that require speedy
installation and simple and safe mounting.
¶ Wall-mounting metal fixture for plasma display: PDK-4006
This mounting fixture permits adjustable installation angles between 0 and 25 degrees. When installation is complete,
the installed depth should be 125 mm or less (for vertical installations without optional speaker system). Adjust the
tilt to for best visibility, depending on the particular use.
¶ Mobile cart: PDK-5008
This is a carryable stand, which is stable enough for one person to freely transfer the plasma display.
It is possible to adjust the height and angle of the screen to meet the sightline of the viewers, depending on the
purpose.
¶ Multi-display bracket for plasma display: PDM-4001
The multi-display bracket allows you to take full advantage of the thinness of the plasma display. With plasma
displays of 300 mm depth or less, which was virtually impossible with conventional display, installation of a maximum
4 x 4 multiple displays (3676 x 2868 mm) is possible. Furthermore, once the multiple displays are installed, maintenance
of the displays is possible using front access.
¶ Protective filter: PDA-4002
This filter is used to improve the durability of the plasma display for industrial use.
This filter prevents the plasma display from being damaged or stained due to malicious acts, and improves the
strength of the front of the panel. When the filter is mounted, the anti-reflection coating prevents the quality of
images from deteriorating.

Functions and features of standard optional items
¶ Speaker system: PDP-S03-LR
The sound system employs a vertical twin-system, composed of a 2.5-cm dome corn-type tweeter at the center and
newly-developed elliptical drivers 4.5 cm in width, arranged vertically. The resulting configuration system produces
rich, stable sound fields.
Only 7.4-cm wide, the cabinet reproduces a rich and dynamic sound range. (When the speaker is mounted to the
main body of the plasma display, the operation panel on the main body may not be used.)
The work of assembling and installing the metal fixture and mounting the plasma display must
always be performed by two people.

4.2 Handling standard metal fixtures
4.2.1 Precautions on handling metal fixtures
This chapter describes how to install and handle metal fixtures specially designed for plasma displays sold by us,
PIONEER. We sell this unit on the premise that it will be installed by specialist vendors with sufficient technical skill.
The plasma display must be installed by a specialist in this work or by the dealer from which you made your purchase.
4.2.2 Precautions for vendors performing the installation
1) Before installation
Strictly observe the instructions in “3.1 Installation environment”.
2) Installation
Thoroughly read the contents of this chapter and observe the instructions.
For safety, make sure the work is performed by more than one person.
“Sufficient strength to withstand” means sufficient strength to withstand a weight four times that of the main body
including the metal fixture.
3) After installation
After installing the metal fixture, check it for strength and make sure there are no loose screws. When the plasma
display is mounted, check the installation again.
4) Delivery to the customer
(1) Precautions on operation
¶ Precautions
After finishing the above checks, the installing vendor must describe the following precautions to the customer.
Even if the construction is perfect, handling the metal fixture improperly can undermine the integrity of the installation.
You should explain precautions on handling to the customer so that the customer can understand how to handle
the display.
¶ Convenient use of the plasma display
• If the display is not mounted properly, please ask the installing vendor to check and repair it.
• To prevent the display from falling or similar accidents, do not try to adjust the angle or height of the plasma
display yourself. Please ask the installing vendor to adjust it (Except the PDK-4001).
¶ Do not do the following.
The following actions are inherently dangerous. Exercise caution in handling the metal fixtures.
• Applying loads by pushing or pulling.
• Spilling water on the fixture.
• Placing something on the fixture.
• Touching screws that are part of the fixture.
(2) Notes for vendor performing the installation (Japanese only)
Once the installation is completed and checked and the above precautions have been explained to the customer,
the installing vendor must enter certain data in the Vendor’s installation notes and give these notes to the customer.
(3) Periodic inspection
Parts that are not visible from the exterior, which are either inside the display or part of the floor or ceiling on which
the plasma display is mounted, may age without obvious signs until the display falls from the mounting fixtures.
Advise the customer to ask the installing vendor or a specialist to periodically inspect the fixture and plasma display.

Note 1) In case the signals for the full lines which are more than 845 lines are input, ''OUT OF RANGE'' will be indicated.
Note 2) Though it is not shown in the above table, in case the signals for the full lines which are equal to or less than 845
lines are input, the images will be shown, but there are some possibilities that the following problems might
happen:
1 The out-of-roundness may not be correct (Example: PC-9800/640 X 400 @ 56.4Hz)
2 Noise may be caused/images may be distorted.
3 Images may not be completely adjusted.
Please understand that these problems are out of the scope of our product warranty.
Moreover, in case that it is inevitable for you to input some interlaced signals, input by way of separate
synchronization.
In case you use G on Sync or composite synchronization to input, there is a chance that the resolution and
frequency of your signals may not be correctly identified.
Note 3) There are some older Macintosh PC models that can output both C on Synch and composite synchronization at
the same time. In such a case, there is a chance that the resolution and frequency of the signals may not be
correctly identified or the white balance may be disturbed. Therefore, basically, do not use such models.

4.4.3 The outline from setting up to adjusting of down converter
The following explains the outline from setting up to adjusting of down converter, when using PDP-V402, PDP-V402E
plasma display manufactured by our company.
How to mount standard optional items (PDA-4003)
See the section titled ''Before using this down converter'' in Page 71.
See the section titled ''How to use a cable strap'' in Page 74.
Note) If it has already been mounted, there is no need for this work.
See the section titled ''Mounting on the plasma display'' in Page 72.
See ''Connection'' in Page 76 and ''Connecting the power supply cord''
in Page 76 as well as ''How to mount the AC adapter'' in Page 73.
See the section titled ''On styling of the cables'' for your reference in
Page 75.
Note) Turn the input function of the plasma display to ''RGB2.''
Note) During this time, pay careful attention to prevent any image burn-
in. (Be careful not to keep transmitting the OSD signal or enter
any signals other than the FULL WHITE signal, etc. because
such actions may cause an image burnt-in)
See Steps 1 to 5 of the section titled ''Operating a down converter''
in Page 78, 79.
Knacks for adjustment:
• Adjust in order of [CLK.FRQ.] to [HOR.PDS.] or [VER.POS.] to
[CLK.PHS.].
• When adjusting [CLK.PHS.], try to minimize a transverse flicker
and a color shift on the screen (there may be a chance that they
cannot be completely adjusted).
Start
Open the section titled ''Before using
the down converter.''
Mount the cable strap
Mount the down converter on the rear
panel of the plasma display.
Connect the cables and the AC adapter.
Carry out the styling of the cables.
Turn ON the power for the input signal
source (including PC), the plasma
display and the down converter.
Input the FULL WHITE signal, and carry
out the aging (for about 10 minutes).
Adjust [CLK.FRQ.], [CLK. PHS.], [HOR.
POS.] and [VER.POS.] of the plasma
display, while displaying the DOWN
CONVERTER test pattern.
Input a signal, which is identical to that
of the down converter test pattern, at
the same resolution and frequency for
an actual image to be used.
Note) The down converter can store 10 different adjusted values in
memory. When the eleventh signal is input, it will overwrite on
the first signal.
Whenever any resolution and frequency of the input signal for
the down converter are changed, it is necessary to adjust the
resolution and frequency, respectively.

70
How to mount standard optional items (PDA-4003)
See Step 6 and 7 of ''Operations'' in Page 79.
Note) If you execute [AUTO SETUP] many times, there is chance that
the adjusted value may change every time (Basically, it is
[CLK.PHS.] value only).
Moreover, if [AUTO SETUP] is executed with an unclear signal
to adjust the image area, it may not be correctly adjusted.
See Step 7 to - of the section titled the ''Operations'' in Page 79 to
80.
Knacks for adjustment:
• Adjust in order of [CLK.FRQ.] to [HOR.POS.] or [VER.POS.] to
[CLK.PHS.].
• There may be almost no need to readjust the signals other than
[CLK.PHS.].
• When adjusting [CLK.PHS.], try to minimize a transverse flicker
and a color shift on the screen (there may be a chance that they
cannot be completely adjusted). Even if there is still a slight flicker,
it is likely that there may be no difficulty when the actual signals
are used for display.
• If [CLK.PHS.] is adjusted when [CLK.FRQ.] has not been adjusted,
it wil not be converged.
• When [CLK.POS.] is adjusted, there is a chance that one dot of
information or so may drop out.
Note) To ensure to store the adjusted data in memory, make sure to
clear the menu by clicking on the [DOWN CONVERTER - MENU]
button.
Note) When there is a problem, perform readjustment.
Note) When there are two types of signals or more to input into the
down converter, repeat the flow from Step A.
Execute [AUTO SETUP] of the down
converter.
Adjust [CLK. FRQ.], [CLK. PHS.], [HOR.
POS.] and [VER. POS.], whenever
deemed necessary.
Confirm that there is no problem for
adjustment when you input the actual
signal for display.
End

4.4.4 Before using the down converter
Before using the down converter, please carefully read and prepare the following items, and then start your mounting,
connection and adjustment.
• Are all the accessories ready now? See the section tilted ''Specifications'' in Page 67.
- A remote control
- AA cells X 2 pieces (for the above remote control)
- D-Sub 15P cable
- AC adapter
- Power supply cable (for the above AC adapter)
- Velcro x 2 pieces (No need in case it has been attached to the plasma display and AC adapter).
- Cable strap (No need if it has been attached to the down converter).
- Screw rivet x 4 pieces (This is necessary only when the down converter is mounted on the plasma display)
- Rubber cushion X 4 pieces (This is needed when it is mounted on the plasma display (other than PDP-V402,
PDP-V402E).)
- Binders x some pieces
• Is it the plasma display PDP-V402, PDP-V402E that you are going to combine?
= If NO,
we will prepare the remote control satellite (JA-V15IR).
Explanation: In case of PDP-V402, PDP-V402E the signal is transmitted from the remote control to the plasma
display photo-sensor (=the plasma display micrEo computer) to the plasma display RGB 2 terminal (No. 12 pin)
to the down converter to the RGB IN terminal (No. 12 pin) to the down converter microcomputer. Therefore, it
is possible to adjust the down converter without using the remote control satellite (The remote control satellite
is operated aiming at the plasma display's photo-sensor). In this case, the plasma display's remote switch is
turned ON.
Note) In the following cases, it is difficult to receive the remote control signal:
-When the remote control satellite is connected even though it is PDP-V402, PDP-V402E.
-When a display with PLUG & PLAY function is connected.
• Adjust the white balance of the plasma display correctly.
See the section titled ''How to adjust the image quality and white balance'' in Page 155
• To match the actual resolution, we will have prepared a vertical stripe-alternating pattern in black and white for you,
which is similar to the test pattern for the down converter.
In this case, it is easier to execute the AUTO.SETUP, if the outer boundary of the image area is edged with white
color.

4.6.3 Assembling and installing the metal fixture and mounting the plasma display (same procedure
as for the PDK-4003)
1) Preparation
Assembling the PDK-4002 fixture requires the following tools. Prepare them before starting work. (The PDK-4003 is
assembled using the same tools.)
• Wrench or spanner (side size: 12 mm)
• Hexagonal wrench (side size: 4 mm: for M5)
• Hexagonal wrench (side size: 5 mm for M6)
• Hexagonal wrench (side size: 6 mm for M8)
• Hexagonal wrench (side size: 8 mm for M10)
In addition, the installation work requires a drill to machine the ceiling. Be sure to have one on hand.
2) Assembling and installing the metal fixture (The same assembly and installation procedures are used for the
PDK-4003.)
1. Check that the left and right monitor brackets are firmly mounted on the monitor frame.
Next, pass the center rod through the monitor frame and spacer. Insert the rod into the support COMP, pass it all the
way through, and tighten it using two M8 × 75 hexagonal socket head bolts.
2. Tighten the M5 × 16 hexagonal socket head bolt to eliminate backlash.
3. Decide where to install the fixture, and apply the supplied pattern paper to the ceiling. Make a hole in the ceiling
according to the pattern and mount the ceiling flange COMP.
The fixing screws and nuts must be chosen according to the material, structure, and strength of the part of the
ceiling on which the fixture is installed. Provide high-quality screws and nuts.
4. Pass two M10 × 85 hexagonal socket head bolts through the ceiling flange and tighten the support COMP.
5. Tighten the M6 × 10 hexagonal socket head bolt to eliminate backlash.
• Firmly tighten the bolt.
• After installing the fixture, check the strength of the fixture and ceiling installation before mounting the plasma
display.
• Double-check the safety of the installation by using the hole made in the ceiling flange COMP, as illustrated. (Use
parts with sufficient strength to withstand the weight of this product.)

3) Mounting the plasma display (For the PDK-4003, the same procedure is used to mount two displays.)
1. Remove the 6 hole rivets (arranged lengthwise) from the back of the plasma display with a coin or the like.
2. Mount the monitor mounting bolt assemblies (three each for the left and right) delivered with the display in the
mounting holes on the back of the plasma display.
3. Loosen only the top mounting screws in the left and right monitor brackets, and tilt the monitor brackets all the way
(do not loosen the bottom screws).
4. Lift up the plasma display, and insert the monitor mounting bolt assemblies into the monitor brackets.
5.
With only the top screws used to mount the monitor brackets loosened, tighten three nuts each for the left and right
monitor mounting bolt assemblies. When doing this, be sure not to twist the main body of the plasma display.
6. Adjust the angles of the top and bottom of the plasma display (variable from horizontal to 25° downward).
Decide on the angle you want while supporting the plasma display. Tighten the top screws in the left and right
monitor brackets. At this point, the monitor bracket hole will be the measure for angle adjustment. in the monitor
bracket (in 5° increments).
7. Adjust the left-to-right angle of the plasma display (it can rotate 45° left or right). Manually rotating the monitor frame,
decide on the angle you want.
Fix the monitor frame tightly using the M6 × 30 hexagonal socket bolt, which is supplied to prevent the display from
rotating.
8. Pass the connecting cable through the cable hole of the support COMP of the metal fixture, and connect it to the
connectors. If some of the connecting cables cannot pass through the cable hole because the cables are too thick,
use thinner cables or connect the cables without passing them through the cable hole.
For information on how to use the cable clamp that is provided with the fixture, refer to “3.3 Installation procedures,

4) Installation example
During installation, strictly observe the related operating conditions in “3.4 Special installation”.
(Note) When hanging by wires using eyebolts, the display will tilt forward by approximately 20 degrees due to its
weight distribution. Therefore, take this into consideration in advance when hanging it by wires.
7 Wire hanging
Attach wires to the bolts, as indicated in the figure.
To attach the wires to the ceiling, secure two wires at
two independent points for safety.
• To keep the plasma display main body from vibrating,
fix the main body by attaching wire to the bottom bolt.
• Use wires strong enough to withstand the total weight
(30.8 kg <31.6 kg> for the plasma display itself plus
3.3 kg for the PDP bracket).
< > shows the PDP-V402E.
Use the Special eye bolt only at the specified locations.
Improper use of Special eye bolts within the plasma display main body may
damage the display's blind nut.

7 Suspending connected plasma displays using wires
More than one display can be connected, as shown in the figure. (Maximum: 3 displays)
When wires are fixed to the ceiling, use two wires fixed at two independent points.
• To prevent plasma displays from tilting, fix them with
wires that pass through the bottom bolts.
• When more than two displays are to be hung, use
as many wires as needed to withstand the total
weight (30.8 kg <31.6 kg> for a plasma display and
3.3 kg for a PDP bracket).
• For the temperature or other conditions, see the
description in “Special installation, Ceiling
suspension (using wires).”

4.12.3 Installation conditions
1) Load carrying capacity of the floor
The floor should be level and with an even surface, and it should have a sufficient load carrying capacity of its own.
Especially, when the floor consists of boarding, the floor may cause deformation or deflection, if the weight of this
system is put near the middle of reinforcing crosspieces under the floor, depending on where such crosspieces are
located. In this case, make sure to spread out the weight on the floor, using solid boarding sufficient enough to resist
the deformation or deflection caused over time. A concrete floor sometimes may be not good enough for horizontal
installation, because of an uneven surface. In such a case, make sure to take similar corrective measures so that the
floor can be leveled and even.
2) Height of the ceiling
Ensure that the distance from the top of this system to the ceiling is at least 30 cm. If there are an air outlet of an air-
conditioner or a lighting display in the upper area, it is necessary to pay sufficient attention because they may cause
problems due to dust, temperature, humidity and water droplets. Moreover, when the system is going to be fully
covered with furnishings, make sure to provide a process to eliminate the heat accumulated on the top panel. Otherwise,
it may cause problems.
3) Front space
It is possible to pull out the PDP main body forward using the sliding frame. For maintenance, make sure to provide a
sufficient working space on the front side.
4) Space on both sides and backside, and fan unit
They all depend on the installation conditions.
Make sure to follow the installation conditions as shown in the operating environment requirements.
For a fan unit, see the attached standard specification and drawing.
5) Stacking units
It is possible to vertically install up to four units.
For installation of up to three units, make sure to use a base plate and cradles, and take measures to prevent shifting.
Moreover, when you are going to vertically install four units of displays, make sure to use anchor bolts for secure
installation.
6) Installations works to prevent shifting.
• For installation, make sure to use base plates and cradles.
(See the attached cradle and base plate drawing based on our recommendation.)
• Ensure that all necessary measures are taken to prevent shifting, because it is likely that the system may move or turn
due to earthquakes and accidents (It is recommended to use anchor bolts for secure installation). If it is not possible
to use anchor bolts, then use wires to secure the display.
Note) For wire mounting, make sure to use the holes shown in Figure in Page 113.
• For securing on the floor or the wall, everything depends on the materials of installation (securing) location. For
installation and mounting, make sure to consult with a specialized installation contractor.
It is not possible to vertically install five or more units.
Caution

7) Calculating calorific values
Assume that the power consumption per unit is 400 W, to be on the safe side. As most of
the consumed power is converted into heat, power consumption is roughly equal to
generated heat.

8) Temperature and humidity requirements
• Strictly observe the following requirements for the temperature and humidity at the
site:
[1] Allowable operating temperature : 0 to 35ºC (no condensation)
[2] Allowable operating humidity : 20 to 80%
[3] Storage temperature : - 10 to 45ºC (as packed)
• Moisture is strictly prohibited. The shape of this product is vulnerable to the external effects. When installing this
display closer to an air outlet of an air conditioner or a water fountain, where it is highly humid, make sure to take
perfect waterproofing measures.
In a building that has newly been built, it may be highly humid due to the moisture coming out from the concrete. Pay
full attention to this factor.
• It is never advisable to install such delicate electronic equipment as this system in a highly humid environment. If a
higher temperature is even slightly anticipated, however, please take the following precautions:
* Never install this system in such an environment that exceeds the scope of the recommended installation
conditions.
* Provide for a suitable grounding.
* Make sure that there will be no condensation.
* Install it where the general public will not be able to touch it.
* Ensure that no water droplets come in contact with any part of the display.

9) Power supply requirements
When it consists of some multiple systems, never provide the power from the existing
power outlet because it is extremely dangerous to do so. Make sure to provide the power
from the distribution panel.
1 Power voltage
Guaranteed operating voltage for a plasma display is +/-10% of the rated voltage. It is necessary to have a power
voltage of more than 100V (102 V to 105 V) without any load.
Ensure that the voltage will not drop below 96 V, when all the power has been turned ON.
If it drops below 96 V, it may be necessary to replace the power cable from the distribution panel to the plasma
display with a thicker one.
2 Calculate the power consumption of a plasma display at 400 VA per unit, to be on the safe side. When it is going to
be connected with any other equipment, take the power consumption of such other equipment into consideration.
When the total current capacity is obtained, make sure to derive the power from the power distribution panel
though a circuit breaker, allowing for about 25% or more extra power.
In Japan, it is customary to use 15 A to 20 A per circuit. If the total power consumption is higher than this, it is
necessary to increase the number of circuits, say, by two or three additional circuits.
No. of surfaces
Power capacity Current capacity
of a plasma display unit
1 surface 400VA 4A
4 surfaces 1600VA 16A
9 surfaces 3600VA 36A
12 surfaces 4800VA 48A
16 surfaces 6400VA 64A
Moreover, when the power for a plasma display is ON, the inrush current is about 70A. If it is composed of some
multiple systems, make sure not to turn ON all the systems at one time, but to turn ON one system after another.
If all the systems are turned ON at one time, the circuit breaker may be tripped.
3 Power supply breaker
To reduce the noise, the plasma display has a built-in power line filter. For this reason, a leakage current of 0.5 mA
is passing throughout the circuit. In case that a leakage breaker is provided, confirm that the leakage current sensivity
is greater than the leakage current value of the plasma display to be used.
10) Cautions for using base plates and cradles
Make sure to install so that the system remains horizontal. We will not be responsible in
any way whatsoever for any damages due to defective installation and/or mounting of
this system, or any natural disasters.

2) Connections between a plasma display main body and multiple installation metal fixtures
Do not stack vertically in excess of four units. The multiple installation metal fixtures may deform or break, if you do so.
* For safety reasons, make sure that two workers work together.
1) Connecting upper and lower fixtures
1 Place an upper multiple installation metal fixture with
the locking fitting put on the upper side of a lower one,
insert AZB 1369 (M 10 X 100) into the connecting holes,
and roughly adjust the positioning.
2 Next, temporarily attach washers and nuts finger tight.
After readjusting the positioning of the upper and lower
fixtures, tighten the bolts finally.
2) Connecting left and right fixtures
Place washers and nuts as well as the attached AZB 1369,
using holes each on a upper part and a lower part on the
left and right side of the multiple installation metal fixtures,
temporarily tighten as much as possible by finger
tightening. After readjusting the positioning of the left
and right frames, tighten them finally.
3) Securing the multiple installation metal fixtures
For installation, separately prepare cradles and base plates for multiple frames. Use eight or more M10
bolts to secure the base plate and the cradles, and the cradles and the multiple frames. As there may be
a danger of a drop or fall, etc., depending on the number of multiple units to be installed and the installation
site, it is recommended that a specialized contractor be employed to take necessary measures to prevent
the drop or fall for safety reasons.

3) Preparation for mounting a plasma display
When shipped, a multiple installation fixture is secured with two nuts and two hexagon socket bolts so that the slide
frame will not slide during transportation.
Before mounting a plasma display, remove these two nuts and two hexagon socket bolts, and make preparations so
that the slide frame will slide when the locking fittings are released. Keep the removed nuts and bolts safely as they
may be used later.
Remove the nuts.

1. Remove hole rivets (at four points as shown by an arrow) from the backside of the display using a coin, etc.
2. Insert the attached monitor securing bolts into multiple installation fixtures at the points as shown in the above
drawing of a plasma display.
3. Release the locking fittings, and pull out the slide frame (See the next page on how to release them).
4. Insert the monitor securing bolts into potbellied holes located on the front side of the plasma display.
When placing the nuts, ensure that the end of a nut
and a thread are aligned on the same surface.
When returning the pulled-out frame,
be careful not to pinch your fingers.

Insert a monitor securing bolt into a
potbellied hole on the slide frame,
and lower the bolt.
Plasma display
Tighten the nut.
6. Mounting a chain to release the locking fitting.
The multiple installation fixture is so designed that the plasma display can be drawn forward for easy maintenance by
releasing the locking fittings. Attaching a chain to the locking fitting allows to easily release the locking mechanism
from the lowermost area.
For multiple installation, tags in three different colors (red, blue and yellow) are provided so that they can easily
differentiate each column or each unit from the others. It is, therefore, recommended that those tags are attached to
the chains.
7. Sliding prevention mechanism
A sliding prevention mechanism is provided to prevent any accident so that the plasma display will not inattentively
slide out when the multiple installation fixtures are mounted forward tilted or downward tilted.
• If you use those two nuts and two bolts that were removed when making preparations for installation as shown
below, it is possible to prevent sliding.
Place the nuts.

of the cradle and M10 X 8 taps on the base plate.
* Make sure to place the base plate on a flat and horizontal floor.
* When the base plate is not secured to the floor, the multiple installation fixtures can be stacked up to two units in
addition to the two-unit cradles, and up to 3 units in addition to 3-unit cradles.
* When securing to the floor, see the Procedure 3 in Page 113.

135
How to mount standard optional items (PDM-4001)
3. It is possible to stack up to four units using the multiple installation fixtures. For four-unit stacking, it is necessary to
take measures against falling by either securing the cradle to the floor with anchors, securing the upper portion by
suspending from the ceiling or bolting to the ceiling or securing the back side to the wall with bolts, etc.
Upper portion
To prevent falling, use these holes to secure
the upper portion by suspending from the
ceiling or the wall.
Back side
To prevent falling, use these holes
to secure to the wall, etc.
Secure the cradle using anchors. Moreover, for the actual
examples of installation works in which suspension bolts
and anchors were used, see the attached manual
(ZMZ014) for the installation and implementation of the
exclusive fixture (TVK series) for the system monitor.

8. Maintenance
The filter surface is delicate, due to its special anti-
glare coating. To clean the filter surface, brush dust
from the surface and wipe with a soft cloth. Do not
use hard or abrasive materials, such as tissue paper.
Use of solvents such as benzene or thinner will damage
and discolor the filter coating.
If the inside of the filter becomes dirty, unscrew
the decorative screws and remove the filter. In this
case, unscrew the bottom screws first.
Handling the filter carefully, clean the inside surface in
the same way as for the outer surface.
Install the filter by reversing the above procedures,
beginning by first tightening the decorative screws
on the top. Make sure the screws are adequately
tightened.

4.14 Speaker system: PDP-S03-LR
4.14.1 Before operation
• The speaker's nominal impedance is 8 Ω. Connect to a stereo amplifier capable of driving loads ranging from
4 to 16 Ω.
• Observe the following precautions to protect the speaker from damage caused by high input.
• Do not apply inputs higher than the recommended level.
• Turn off power to the amplifier before inserting or removing the pin-plug.
• Do not turn up audio volume beyond recommended levels, when increasing the high-frequency output with a
graphic equalizer.
• Particularly with relatively low-capacity amplifiers, do not drive close to their rated maximums. (Doing so will
produce square waves that can destroy tweeters. )
• Handle the speaker grilles and cabinet carefully to prevent damage caused by shock.
• To protect the speaker from excessive input and abnormal signals, the system contains an automatic return-type
protective device. When excessive input is applied to the speaker, the protective device activates to kill sound
output. If this occurs, decrease the amplifier volume. The sound should return in 5 to 10 seconds.

commercially available metal fixtures.
• Make sure that the end of the cord is securely
connected with the terminals by lightly pulling the cord
after connection. Incomplete connection may cause
broken sound or noise.
• If the cord wiring sticks out and the positive and negative
wires short, the stereo amplifier will be subjected to an
excessive load, and operation may stop or a malfunction
may occur.
• When wrong polarity (+, -) of either speaker system
(right or left) is connected to the stereo amplifier, proper
stereo effects may not be obtained due to insufficient
bass or loss of sound orientation feeling.
1 Remove the wire
covering and keep
the end of each
wire together.

13) Mask for screen top/bottom for NTSC input
This function is valid only when NTSC signals are input. With the remote control, use the 5 and ∞ buttons to select the
item to be set, and confirm your selection with the SET button. With the operation panel, select the item with the + and
– buttons, then confirm your selection with the SET button.
This function selects black or gray mask (MASK GRAY/BLACK) processing for approximately 10 lines at the top or
bottom of the screen, or reproduction of images (MASK OFF) for the whole screen (480 lines).
The factory-preset value is BLACK.
Precautions
• If masked display is used for extended periods, the unmasked and masked areas of the display may begin to exhibit
slightly different display characteristics, as a result of varying rates of phosphor deterioration.
For example, on a masked display receiving NTSC signals that rarely displays a full-screen 480 lines, the top and
bottom masked sections will experience no phosphor deterioration, resulting in possible differences in luminance
and white-balance from the image area.
• Depending on the input source, the display may exhibit some anomalies when the mask is removed, such as a
wavering display at the top on the screen.
14) MP (Motion Picture) mode-setting mode
This function is valid only for PC-9800, VGA, and MAC input signals (and for NTSC inputs double-rate-converted from
RGB-1 and RGB-2 terminals). With the remote control, use the 5 and ∞ buttons to select the item to be set, and
confirm your selection with the SET button. With the operation panel, select the item with the + and – buttons, then
confirm your selection with the SET button. This function allows the selection appropriate for image-sequence processing
or for stills or animations. Select ON for stills and OFF for animations.
• MP mode
When animations such as those used in games are reproduced in the input of non-interlaced signals, including non-
interlaced computer signals, the “stripe-like shadow” may appear in parts of the resulting image. Known as pseudo-
contour, this phenomenon results from the method of gradation expression used to express. Changing the MP mode
to ON can greatly reduce pseudo-contour, though gradation expression may be less sharp, depending on the particular
input signal.

16) OSD indication setting
Operation is the same as with other input functions. With the remote control, use the 5 and ∞ buttons to select the
mode to be set, and confirm your selection with the SET button. With the operation panel, select the mode with the +
and - buttons, then confirm your selection with the SET button.
This function disables OSD indication such as function display. When it is not necessary to select OSD indication for
automatic operation, set to "OSD:OFF". Even during "OSD:OFF" setting, MENU and KEY LOCK/UNLOCK setting can be
displayed.
The factory-preset value is ON.
* Even when [OSD:OFF] are being set, it is possible to indicate the following OSD:
1 Indicates menu
2 Indicates announcement while KEY KOCK is being set, and indicated KEY LOCK/UNLOCK setting.
15) FULL MASK setting
Operation is the same as with other input functions. With the remote control, use the 5 and ∞ buttons to select the
item to be set, and confirm your selection with the SET button. With the operation panel, select the item with the + and
- buttons, then confirm your selection with the SET button.
For example, if WHITE is selected and the set button is pressed, the control screen is displayed as white regardless of
the input signal. During this time, neither PLAY operation or On Screen Display can be used. To reset, press the set
button again or turn the power OFF/ON using the remote control or the main operation panel. (Note: Use this for aging,
panel burnout reduction, etc.)
(Note): When FULL MASK setting is performed with RS-232C, data is saved as the latest data in the memory. In this
case, to cancel the setting, select <AJY> with RS-232C followed by the cancel command <FMN>.

17) Initial reset setting mode (total adjustment)
This function restores adjusted values for PICTURE PARAMETER and WHITE BALANCE to factory-preset values,
which are within the range of values currently held in the selected memory area. Selecting “YES” with the remote
control 2 button or operation panel + button restores factory-preset values. Selecting “NO” with the remote control 3
button or operation panel – button restores the current state. Select the following:
“YES” to restore factory-preset values
“NO” to avoid restoring factory-preset values
and press the SET button.
In either case, you are returned to the above adjustment mode when selection is complete.
18) PC-9800 mask
This function selects the color of the mask section at the top and bottom of the screen when PC-9800 is input with
input function of RGB 1 or RGB 2.
The display is factory-set to black.
This function can be set only through RS-232C commands.
Activate RS-232C adjustment mode and
Send a <MKB> command to set the black mask section.
Send a <MKG> command to set the gray mask section.
Depending on the input signal, the rate of phosphor deterioration in the masked section may differ from that in the
unmasked section. For example, a display with mask section color set to BLACK that receives PC-9800 signals and
rarely displays a 480-full-line display will suffer no phosphor deterioration in the top and bottom mask sections and
demonstrate better luminance and white-balance for the full 480-line display than for other 400-line displays.

KEY LOCK/UNLOCK
5.5 KEY LOCK/UNLOCK
5.5.1 Functions
To prevent tampering following installation, invoke “KEY LOCK” status to prevent use of “the main-body operation
panel” or “the remote control”. (RS-232C commands are valid.)
If an attempt is made to use “the operation panel” or “the remote control”, the screen displays “KEY LOCK” at the top
right.
The system is factory-set to “KEY UNLOCK” to enable use of “the operation panel” and “the remote control”.
5.5.2 Setting method
KEY LOCK status can be set in two ways.
1) Operation panel of the main body (hidden button)
Press the KEY LOCK/UNLOCK button located in the opening between the STANDBY/ON button and INPUT button.
The button toggles between KEY LOCK and KEY UNLOCK settings.
2) RS-232C commands
Activate RS-232C adjustment mode and
send a <KLY> command to set for KEY LOCK status, or
send a <KLN> command to set for KEY UNLOCK.

183
6.1 Pseudo contour
When input function is RGB 1 or RGB 2, and a gradation image (such as human face and skin) moves at a speed, the
“stripe-like shadow” may appear in that image. This “stripe-like shadow” is known as the “pseudo contour”.
This phenomenon is an illusion of human eyes attributable to the gradation expression method peculiar to the plasma
display. This phenomenon does not appear in stills picture images.
The problem of this noise (pseudo contour) has been solved by using PIONEER’s unique driving system, and achieved
high picture quality (particularly, for animation).Note that this technology is effective, only when operation is for NTSC
(interlace signal) and computer images (no-interlace signal), with MP mode ON. Therefore, when the following signals
are inputted, this phenomenon may appears when MP mode is OFF:
• VGA animation signal (when a high speed game software and video CD play on PC.
• NTSC double scanning signal (using double raster, etc.)

184
Various precautions for operation
6.2 Precautions
• When the power to the display repeats turning off, some circuits mey be faulty (because of defective parts, etc.).
Turn off the power to the plasma display and turn on the switch again after several seconds. When the power is
turned off again, the system may be faulty. When it normally works, the system can be used without problems.
• When the same images (such as stills and telop) are on the display for hours, images are printed on the display and
not disappear. To prevent this trouble, examine the contents of software, showing method, system configuration,
etc.
• When the following signals are inputted, the screen may be abnormal:
VTR signal on which dubbing (copying) has been repeated
VTR signal that is protected by the copy guard
Scrambled CATV signal
Signal in which the phase of synchronizing signal is extremely off the position of the phase of picture signal.
• When the power is turning on or input is switched over, it requires some time for the screen to appear or for input to
change over, regardless of operation from buttons on the main body, remote controller, or RS-232C. Take into account
this point for direction.
(1) When the power is turned on
Maximum 7 seconds
In either case of the main power on, or power on from standby, take into accounts that it requires approx. up to seven
seconds for images to appear.
For approx. 3 seconds in the standby state, pushing the power-on key cannot make operation valid.
(2) When input is switched over:
Usual Approximately 0.5 seconds
Maximum Approximately 1.0 seconds
Images becomes blackout, because the system stops driving to make the plasma display emit plasma and must
rewrite the contents of the image memory. In addition, to switch over input between different frequencies, it takes
more time to convert the arrangement of the contents of the image memory. (maximum approx. 1.0 seconds).
Take into account this point for direction.
• This device is so designed that the fans will automatically increase the number of rotation to cool the inside of the
device in order to protect both the panel and circuits, when the ambient temperature exceeds about 40$ (in such a
case, it is likely that the fan rotation noise will increase).
Moreover, the starting temperature of the above-mentioned guaranteed operation will vary, depending on such
factors as image signal design, air permeability of external environment, and whether or not there is any dust on or
around the ventilating holes of the main body.
Operate this machine with the ambient temperature of 40 °C or lower.
• If the power is automatically turned off, and the standby indicator flickeres green during operating this machine, the
following causes will be possible and take the proper steps:
1 The ambient temperature exceeds 55 °C.
Operate this machine with the ambient temperature of 40 °C or lower.
2 In the cases that the ventilating hole is blocked or some parts abnormally heats up, temperature in the machine is
abnormally high.
Remove the power plug. Then, contact an after-sales service representative and ask for repair.

185
• Remove the plug from the plug socket before maintenance.
• Maintenance of the cabinet/remote controller
Do not use solvent such as benzene and thinner. The cabinet and remote controller may deteriorate in quality or the
paint may peel off.
Use a soft cloth to wipe off dust lightly.
When they are very dirty, put a soft cloth in detergent diluted with water, fully wring it and wipe with it. Finish
cleaning with a dry soft cloth.
• Maintenance of screen (protective front panel)
The screen (protective front panel) surface is treated by special coating to prevent reflection. This causes the panel to be very
delicate. Use a dry soft cloth for maintenance after wiping dust off. Do not wipe it with tissue paper or hard paper.
Do not use solvent such as benzen and thinner to maintain this panel. Using solvent may result in discoloration of the panel.
We recommend cleaning cloth and cleaning liquid.
Name Type No.
Cleaning cloth: MiniMax GED-009
Cleaning cloth: Wiping cloth AED1174
Cleaning liquid: B4 GEM1004
If the panel is slightly dirty, brush any dust off the panel and lightly wipe with a Mini Max or Wiping Cloth.
If the panel it is very dirty, brush any dust off the panel, and then apply a small amount of B4 to the edge of a Mini
Max or Wiping Cloth and clean the dirty panel. In this state, the surface of the panel is unevenly cleaned. When the
B4 is dry, rub the surface with a dry Mini Max or Wiping Cloth.
Various precautions for operation
Care and cleaning of ventilating holes
Remove with a vacuum cleaner set to 'LOW' the dust that gathered in the side slits of the main body and the ventilating
holes on the backside (See the above figure) at least once a month as a rule of thumb. Moreover, for maintenance of
ventilating holes, make sure to turn OFF the main body power supply switch.
Cautions:
In case the device is operated without removing accumulated dust, the temperature inside the device will abnormally
increase, resulting in failures.
Make sure to regularly clean the ventilating holes.
• Readjusting white balance
This device uses phosphor as with CRT, and if it is used for a long period of time, it is likely that phosphor deteriorates
and luminance decreases. Since green and blue phosphors are likely to deteriorate slightly earlier than red phosphor,
we recommend you to readjust the white balance every 1,000 hours.
