1.2.2 Operating the Remote Control

The remote control for the 20FD Series panels is a powerful tool. This section provides a brief introduction to your remote control while later sections explore more advanced operations.

Insert the Batteries into the Remote Control

To open push and slide the battery cover in the direction of the arrows.

Load the supplied two AA size batteries by the negative polarity (-) ends first.

PIONEER PDP5020FD - Insert the Batteries into the Remote Control - 1

PIONEER PDP5020FD - Insert the Batteries into the Remote Control - 2

PIONEER PDP5020FD - Insert the Batteries into the Remote Control - 3

The batteries supplied with this product may have a shorter life expectancy due to storage conditions. If the remote control seems to be failing or is weak, replace the provided batteries with new alkaline batteries.

Never mix old and new batteries. Mixing old and new batteries can shorten the life of new batteries or cause chemical leaks in old batteries. Also, mixing different types or brands of batteries can cause issues as batteries brands have slightly different characteristics.

Note: If the flat panel TV's remote control is not needed for an extended length of time, remove the batteries.

When disposing of used batteries, please comply with governmental regulations or environmental public institution's rules that apply in your country/area.

Remote Control Issues

There are several issues that can affect your remote control but the most common problem is weak batteries. Weak batteries in the remote control can cause communication to fail or only operate sporadically. In this situation, try moving closer to the panel and attempt to control the panel with the remote. If the panel responds then change the batteries. If moving closer has no effect on the panel, check the surroundings for objects that might be blocking the signal. Also consider other equipment with remote controls that are in the area around the panel. Objects and other IR signals can disrupt the remote. For more help with your remote control, refer to "6.1 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)".

Operating Range for the Remote Control

To control the flat panel TV, point the remote towards the sensor on the panel's bottom right corner. For easy operation, keep the distance between the remote control and the sensor less than 7m (23 feet) and at an angle of less than 30 degrees.

PIONEER PDP5020FD - Operating Range for the Remote Control - 1

The remote control may not work properly if the sensor is in direct sunlight or very bright lighting. If your viewing room is naturally bright, change the position of the panel or physically use the remote control closer to the panel's sensor.

Note: If the remote control is left sitting in direct sunlight or under a very strong light, the case could warp or deform.

1.2.3 Buttons on the Remote Control

Except for a few options, commands available through the buttons on the flat panel TV are duplicated on the remote control. The remote control can be programmed to control other equipment such as a DVD Player, Surround Sound system, etc. A later section entitled "5 Use Other Equipment With Your Flat Panel TV" explains how to use the remote to control other equipment.

2 Install Your Flat Panel TV

There are several installation options for your flat panel TV. This chapter walks you through how to choose an installation site, the best mounting methods, and how to install your panel.

2.1 Choose a Location and the Mounting Method

Your flat panel TV is very thin. The panel needs a solid surface and some sort of support structure (a stand, table, etc.) to protect it from being tipped over or knocked down. Use installation accessories and parts included with the shipment. Pioneer recommends working with a qualified installer whenever possible.

Regardless of the mounting method, anchor or secure your flat panel TV using a combination of the mounting holes and/or supplied bolts.

PIONEER PDP5020FD - Choose a Location and the Mounting Method - 1

PIONEER PDP5020FD - Choose a Location and the Mounting Method - 2
Note: Some installation options require a different type of bolt. Check with your installer or dealer to purchase the appropriate bolt(s).

2.1.1 Check the Location for Suitability

When choosing the location for your panel, there are several factors you need to keep in mind. The installation site should be out of direct sunlight and have sufficient ventilation around the flat panel TV to allow cooling. The diagram below is an example of a stand-mounted panel with proper ventilation.

PIONEER PDP5020FD - Check the Location for Suitability - 1

The distance behind and above the panel changes depending on your choice of mount. Consult with your dealer or professional installer for proper ventilation.

Use the checklist below to judge possible installation sites.

Sufficient ventilation No danger of power overload
Safe from excessive vibrations Separate from other equipment
Away from air conditioners Protected from hits or shocks
Free of moisture or dampness Distance from heat sources
No danger of splashing water Out of direct sunlight
□ Route cords and cables safely Away from strong lighting sources

For specific cautions and safety information, refer to "7.2 Physical Location & Temperature Considerations" and "7.7 Safety Precautions."

2.1.2 Lift and/or Move Your Panel (the How To's)

This flat panel TV is built for endurance but because of the technology, the panel must be handled with care. Use the handles attached to the rear of the flat panel TV to lift the unit. To avoid flexing or twisting the unit, you need at least two people to lift and move the panel. Do not move the flat panel TV by holding only a single handle or by dragging the panel by its handles.

PIONEER PDP5020FD - Lift and/or Move Your Panel (the How To's) - 1

PIONEER PDP5020FD - Lift and/or Move Your Panel (the How To's) - 2

Use the handles to move the panel. Do not move the panel by holding the speaker or speaker brackets.

Note: Do not use the handles to hang the flat panel TV or as anchors to prevent the panel from slipping or tipping after it is mounted.

2.2 Install the Panel Using a Stand

2.2.1 Use or Remove the Included Stand

The PDP-5020FD ships with the Pioneer table top stand (stand) attached. Attach the included stand to the panel for the PDP-6020FD. For PDP-5020FD, attach the falling prevention metal fittings after placing the panel to stand upright.

PIONEER PDP5020FD - Use or Remove the Included Stand - 1

Attach the Stand to the Panel

Do not handle the flat panel TV on a wagon or pallet that is smaller than its stand. The stand will bend.

1) Detach the speaker if it has already been added.
Refer to "Attach/Detach the Speaker" on page 18 for assistance.
2) Lay the flat panel TV down on a raised surface with the stand base hanging over the edge.
3) Place all stand parts on a soft cloth to avoid scratching.

If you are mounting the PDP-6020FD continue with Steps 4 and 5. If you are mounting the PDP-5020FD skip to Step 7.

4) Turn the base cover over so that the bottom is facing up.
5) Insert the stand supports (legs) into the base cover.

Please carefully install the supports (left and right) so that they are in the correct positions. Misaligned supports can damage the base and/or the supports.

6) Tighten the base screws to lock the supports in to place.

PIONEER PDP5020FD - Attach the Stand to the Panel - 1

Note: Assemble the stand with a soft sheet placed under the base cover. If a sheet is not laid before assembly, the front surface of the base cover may be scratched.

7) After assembling the stand, attach the falling prevention metal fittings using the installation screws.

PIONEER PDP5020FD - Attach the Stand to the Panel - 2

8) With the flat panel TV still face down, insert the stand's supports into the bottom of the panel then tighten the screws.

PIONEER PDP5020FD - Attach the Stand to the Panel - 3

PIONEER PDP5020FD - Attach the Stand to the Panel - 4

Insert the stand supports into the flat panel TV so that the arrow marked "FRONT/FACE AVANT" on the bottom of the stand points down.

9) With the assistance of at least one other person, lift the panel upright then move it in to position.

Attach/Detach the Speaker

The flat panel TV's speaker delivers high-quality, clear sound. The left/right balance is enclosed in a single unit for ease of installation and compactness. Although other devices can be added or removed from the mounted panel, physically attach the speaker last. Disconnect the cables from the Speaker and REMOVE THE SPEAKER before mounting or moving the panel.

Before attaching the speaker to your mounted panel, review the information below.

  • Lay the panel face down on a stable surface when attaching speaker brackets.
  • Use only the supplied screws and tighten securely before stepping away.
  • The speaker is wide and requires more than a single person to manage.
  • Handle the speaker carefully to protect the cabinet and grille net from scratches and other damage.
  • Placing a CRT monitor near the speaker can cause a blur on the flat panel TV. Keep the distance between the speaker and the monitor.

  • Connecting this speaker to another panel or device can damage the unit or cause a fire.

  • When using tone control to increase treble, avoid over-amplifying the volume.

Note: Use the foam packing materials to protect the equipment from scratches or other damage during mounting.

Stand-Mounted Panel

It is possible to attach the speaker brackets to the flat panel TV while it is standing upright though it is easier to mount the brackets while the panel is laying flat. Once the brackets are attached, stand the panel upright then move it into the final position before mounting the speaker.

1) Attach the side speaker brackets (left and right) to the back of the panel using the supplied screws.

3) Connect cables for any other devices to the panel. When deciding on a location for your flat panel TV, consider other equipment in the room. Equipment such as a DVR, Receiver, VCR, etc. requires some way to communicate with the panel, either directly or through another device. Review the instructions that came with the other equipment for available ports and terminals. After deciding which ports and terminals are needed, mark the connections on the flat panel TV for easier identification once the panel is mounted.
4) Temporarily bundle loose cables with rubber bands (not included).
5) Plug the flat panel TV's power cord in to the panel but do NOT plug in to the power outlet.
6) Follow installation directions provided with your selected wall/ceiling mount.

Note: When attaching the speaker, refer to diagram in the following section regarding specific screw holes to use for wall or ceiling mounting.

Once your flat panel TV is mounted on the wall or suspended from the ceiling, follow the steps below to attach the speaker.

1) Confirm that the speaker brackets are ready to support the speaker. It is possible to jar the brackets out of alignment while installing the panel.
2) Connect the loose ends of the speaker cables to the speaker. If the cables were bundled with rubber bands during installation, remove them before continuing.
3) Align the speaker with the brackets. It is very easy to mount the speaker upside-down so confirm that the speaker is aligned properly before continuing.
4) Insert the speaker brackets into the grooves at the rear of the speaker. If the speaker fails to attach easily, adjust the angle of the brackets

PIONEER PDP5020FD - Wall/Ceiling Mounting - 3

5) Tighten the center screw then the side screws in the order shown above. When installing the panel on a wall or ceiling, use the bottom screw holes on each speaker bracket.

Note: If the speaker needs to be repositioned (horizontally) after it is attached, loosen the speaker mounting screws first. Adjust the position then retighten the screws.

2.4 Mount the Flat Panel TV

Because your flat panel TV is slim but heavy, have at least two people mount and/or position the panel. The following sections provide instructions for the different mounting and anchoring options.

Anchor the Panel When Using a Stand

When using a stand, stabilize the panel to keep it from tipping over. Please use the supplied metal fittings and screws to anchor the panel to a wall or other solid support structure.

Another option is to purchase hooks, cords, and fittings through your installer or from your local hardware store. The hardware size and strength depends on the composition and thickness of the anchoring surface.

To anchor the panel when using the provided stand, follow the steps below.

1) Attach the hooks to the mounting holes on the back of the panel.
2) Sink the fittings into the wall or support structure.
3) Run cords between the hooks and the fittings.
4) Tighten the cords until the panel is anchored but not pulled off balance.

PIONEER PDP5020FD - Recommended hook: Nominal diameter 8 mm (3/8 inch), length 12 mm to 18 mm (0.5 inches to 0.7 inches) - 1

To stabilize the flat panel TV on a table or platform, use the supplied metal fittings and screws as well as commercially available wood screws. The wood screws are to anchor the metal fittings when mounting on a wooden surface. These screws should have a nominal diameter of 4mm (5/32 inch) and are at least 20mm (13/16 inch) long.

Notes: Avoid moving the table after the panel is attached.

Do not use bare wires for the cord. If any part of the wire is introduced into the ventilation port on the back of the display panel, fire or electrical shock could result.

Follow the steps below to secure your flat panel TV.

1) Mark locations for metal fittings and screws on the back edge of the table using the panel stand to determine placement.

3) Lift panel into place with the assistance with at least one other person.
4) Use wood screws (not included) to secure the metal fittings to the table.

2.5 Connect to Broadcast TV & Other Devices (DVR, Receiver, BDR, etc.)

The type of equipment attached to your flat panel TV determines which panel ports are used. The following sections explain how to connect broadcast TV and playback equipment such as a DVD player, Surround Sound system, video recorder, etc. to the panel. If your equipment is not listed, please refer to the operating instructions that came with the device(s) for connection assistance.

2.5.1 Add Analog (conventional) and Digital TV Channels

Whether a TV station broadcasts in Analog or Digital, your flat panel TV shows the programs as long as the panel is programmed to accept the signal. To program your panel for broadcast TV, select terminal ANT.

The ANT terminal accepts both analog and digital broadcasts. Connect a VHF/UHF antenna and/or cable TV to the panel's rear ANT terminal, then press TV/DTV on the remote control to toggle between analog and digital broadcasts. When watching analog TV channels, you can also use an outdoor antenna for the clearest analog picture.

If your outdoor antenna uses a 75-ohm coaxial cable with an F-type connector, plug it into the panel's antenna terminal on the back.

PIONEER PDP5020FD - Add Analog (conventional) and Digital TV Channels - 1

In order to watch both analog and digital broadcasts through your terrestrial antenna or cable connection, you must first connect the antenna cable to a splitter.

2.5.3 Connect the Power Cord to the Panel

The final connection is the power cord. Always connect the panel's power cord to a three-pronged outlet, verifying that the cord is properly grounded. The cord includes a noise filter that reduces electrical interference from the wall outlet.

As long as the flat panel TV is plugged in to an outlet, some power is drawn through the panel. When the flat panel TV is not going to be used for a long period, unplug the panel from the power outlet. Unplugging the panel extends the life of the plasma as well as saves energy.

Plug the cord in to the panel but do NOT plug it in to a power outlet yet.

PIONEER PDP5020FD - Connect the Power Cord to the Panel - 1

2.6 Route then Bundle the Power Cord and Cables

Once the flat panel TV is mounted and the speaker is attached, place additional equipment in the final position(s). Lay out the power cord, panel cables and any other device cables in a logical pattern that works for the location. Please consider the following points when routing cables:

  • Access to a 3-prong (grounded) power outlet
    Space for the noise filter between the panel and outlet
  • Placement of cables under carpets or across walking paths

Usually the cord/cables have slack or are too long. Although rubber bands are a good temporary solution to bundle cables, they tend to break down too quickly. To keep cables organized and neat, use the included cable clamps to bundle cables. The diagram below shows a bundled speaker cable.

3.3 Quick Start for Watching Television

Your flat panel TV has many functions and features, some of which you may simply lack the time to set when first installing the panel. To begin watching TV quickly, refer to the basic information within this section. However, when it is convenient, we strongly suggest going through the rest of this manual and learning all that your flat panel TV can do.

3.3.1 Change the Channel/Sub-Channel

With the remote control pointed at the panel's remote sensor, press the CH+ button to sequentially change to the next highest available channel. The CH- button sequentially changes down to the next lowest available channel. Each press of CH+ or CH- causes the channel to change sequentially from station to station. To return to the previous channel, press CH RETURN. To toggle between the two channels, press CH RETURN again. Each press of this button switches the channel between these two stations.

PIONEER PDP5020FD - Change the Channel/Sub-Channel - 1

Another option for changing the channel is to use the number buttons (0 through 9). Simply press the number buttons in the order needed for that channel. For example, enter Channel 231 as 2 - 3 - 1 or Channel 4 as the single number, 4

A recent addition to TV viewing is the Sub-channel. A digital channel can be split in to multiple signals. Each signal, called a sub-channel, can carry a different program. To watch a sub-channel, use a combination of number buttons and the dot (. ) button. For example, if Channel 5 is digital and has three active sub-channels, enter 5 . 2 to reach the second sub-channel.

Note: To tune in a program more quickly, enter the channel or sub-channel then pressCH ENTER.

3.3.2 Adjust the Volume/Sound

With the remote control pointed at the panel's remote sensor, press and hold VOL+ to increase the sound volume gradually. Holding down VOL- decreases the volume at the same rate. A single press of VOL+ or VOL- causes the volume to adjust by minor increments.

To silence all sound, press MUTING. The muting symbol (空) appears on screen. To return the volume to the previous level, press MUTING again. Pressing VOL+ once also increases the volume one step higher than the current level and cancels the muting mode.

If the panel's default sound level is too loud or too soft, refer to "3.4.6 General Sound (Audio) Adjustment."

3.3.3 Turn On the Sleep Timer

To save energy and to maximize the life of your flat panel TV, try using the Sleep Timer for occasions when the panel may be left on by accident. The Sleep Timer places the panel in Standby when the selected time elapses. The Sleep Timer provides time periods of 30, 60, 90, or 120 minutes. When the Timer is down to five minutes, a reminder appears on screen each minute until the time has elapsed.

To set the Sleep Timer, follow the steps below.

1) Access the Sleep Timer through the Setup.

3.4.3 Compare Images When Adjusting the Picture

When adjusting the picture, look for an overall improvement by adjusting each parameter or option one at a time. Many small adjustments lead to the best picture for your viewing area. As each option changes, refer back to the previously set image for comparison. This section includes adjustment notes and steps to adjust the flat panel TV's picture.

Each parameter/option must be adjusted separately. For example, if two options under AV Selection, PERFORMANCE and MOVIE need adjustment, change/compare one option then save the preferred setting before moving on to the other option. Below are other guidelines to follow when adjusting the picture.

Adjustments are available while on the After screen. Trying to make adjustments while on the Before causes a warning message to appear.

3.5 Block Programs, Channels, or Content

Although blocking programs, channels, or content is optional, some images may be inappropriate for all family members. Your flat panel TV supports a blocking function known as Parental Control. With Parental Control activated, certain material fails to appear on screen if it is beyond your select viewing level. Parental Control uses recognized rating systems but also allows blocks placed at your discretion. This section explains the different blocking functions and how to assign each type.

Note: When watching a TV program, you may see an emergency alert message scrolling at the top of the screen. The television station is broadcasting the emergency message as a test or an alert in a real emergency. The flat panel TV ships with this function active. For information about emergency messages, refer to "3.5.3 Assign a Rating System to Create Blocks."

3.5.1 Assign a Parental Control (Block) Password

With Parental Control, inappropriate TV programs, VCR recordings, and DVD content can be blocked. When someone attempts to watch a blocked program or content, the flat panel TV displays the password window. Parental Control applies to both analog and digital material.

To ensure that your blocks are not removed in error, the flat panel TV requires a password to change access to blocked programs, channels, or content. The default password for your panel is 1234. We strongly recommend changing the password to a four-digit code that is meaningful to you.

Follow the steps below to change the password.

1) Access the System Setup through the Setup.
2) Select Change Password from the System Setup menu.

PIONEER PDP5020FD - Assign a Parental Control (Block) Password - 1

PIONEER PDP5020FD - Activate Parental Control - 2

3.5.3 Assign a Rating System to Create Blocks

Besides choosing to block certain channels, you may use one of the recognized rating systems to block programs and/or content. Your panel recognizes the following rating systems:

TV ratings
- TV Parental Guidelines including unrated programming
- Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA for movies)
Canadian English/French rating systems

Note: Your flat panel TV ships with all ratings unblocked.

To block TV or other content using a rating system, follow the steps below.

1) Access the System Setup through the Setup.
2) Select Parental Control from the System Setup menu.
3) Select one of the rating systems from the submenu.

MPAA Ratings menu TV Parental Guidelines menu

The flat panel TV can automatically select an appropriate screen size for the incoming video signal from a connected HDMI device. To allow automatic screen sizing, follow the steps below.

1) Access the Option through the Setup.
2) Select Auto Size from the Option menu.
3) Select Natural or Wide-Zoom from the submenu.

Option Description
Off deactivates the Auto Size function
Natural adjusts the imageto the screen size
Wide-Zoom enlarges anddisplays only the 4:3 aspect ratio portion in full and wide screen

4) Press HOME MENU to exit the menu.

Note: When a video signal contains no aspect ratio information, the Automatic Screen Size function is unavailable.

Manual Screen Sizing

Manually select an appropriate screen size if an image fails to appear in the correct format. Browse the menu for the correct screen size for a specific program.

The selectable screen sizes differ depending on the types of input signals. While watching a TV broadcast, press SCREEN SIZE on the remote control to cycle the picture through Auto, FULL, Dot by Dot, ZOOM, CINEMA, 4:3, WIDE, WIDE 1 and WIDE 2. Freely change the screen size during broadcasts or video from other input sources. Auto is available when receiving HD broadcasts.

The following chart provides information about how the screen appears for each option.

AV Option Description
Auto adds side masks or displays the image in full screen when detecting HD pictures containing side masks. See Detect Masks on page 59.
FULL squeezes 16:9 images
Dot by Dot matches input signal to the same number of screen pixels (available for 1080i or 1080p signals only)
ZOOM bars may appear on the top and bottom on some programs that are 16:9 letterbox
CINEMA bars may appear on the top and bottom on some programs that are 14:9 letterbox (available for SD signals only)
4:3 side bars appear on each side
WIDE pictures progressively stretch toward each side (available for SD signals only)
WIDE 1 pictures progress vely stretch toward each side (available for HD signals only)
WIDE 2 pictures evenly stretch toward each side (available for HD signals only)
PC Option Description
4:3 fills without altering the input signal aspect ratio
FULL shows 16:9 screen display

With WIDE 1 or WIDE 2 selected, a High Definition (HD) TV broadcast may crop part of an image or menu. If an image or menu appears cut or runs off the screen, change the option to FULL.

Avoid showing signals that fill only part of the screen. Images that fail to fill the screen may cause temporary or permanent image retention depending on the frequency and duration. For example, an HD broadcast with side masks (4:3 content) causes uneven wear of the plasma cells. If side masks appear around a broadcast, after that program or movie is over, switch to a full screen motion video. This action helps the panel balance wear for the plasma cells and guard against after-image issues. For more information about Masks, refer to "4.3.1 Adjust for Screen Masking (black bars on sides)."

Note: Not all broadcast programs carry alternative screen sizes.

This section explores the value offered through Pioneer's PureCinema High Definition (HD) support, top quality blacks, better balanced whites, and overall color improvements.

4.3.1 Adjust for Screen Masking (black bars on sides)

Screen Masks fill areas on both sides of a picture. Some content fails to fill the screen so bars appear on each side of the picture. This section explains how to adjust screen masking.

Detect Masks

Some HD broadcasts transmit in 4:3 content with side masks. Side masks are black bars that appear on the picture's left and right sides. If the flat panel TV's Screen Size is set to Natural during the Auto Size process, gray bars replace the black bars. When the panel is set to Wide-Zoom, the bars are hidden. These responses reduce after-image concerns.

To allow the panel to detect side masks, follow the steps below.

1) Access the Option through the Setup
2) Select Side Mask from the Option menu.

Video signals can affect the Side Mask Detection function differently. For High Definition broadcasts, if Side Mask Detection is on, the panel automatically detects images containing side masks and shows the picture in full screen. Cycle the screen size to select Auto for video signals without aspect ratio information.

Video content also can affect the Side Mask Detection function. If a detection error occurs when trying to watch HD content, manually change the screen size to the proper setting for the content.

HD Wide Mode

The HD Wide Mode allows selecting the display mode (WIDE 1 or WIDE 2) when detecting side masks that appear in a 4:3 image. This option is available when the Auto Size menu is set to Wide-Zoom and Side Mask Detection to Mode 1 or Mode 2. To allow the HD Wide Mode, follow the steps below.

5.2 Use HDMI Inputs

High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) is a communication method commonly used by digital and/or high definition equipment. Your flat panel TV's INPUT 4, INPUT 5, INPUT 6, INPUT 7 are HDMI terminals for incoming digital video and audio signals. The flat panel TV supports HDMI Control functions so that when a piece of equipment is connected to the panel, it can control the equipment. To use an HDMI terminal, specify the types of video and audio signals being sent from the connected equipment. For the signal types, see the operating manual(s) that came with the equipment.

One of the benefits of using your flat panel TV to control other equipment is the support of Deep Color. Deep Color is the color depth that describes the number of bits used to represent the color of a single pixel in a bitmapped image. Besides the conventional RGB/YCbCr16bit/20bit/24bit signals, the flat panel TV also supports RGB/YCbCr30bit/36bit signals. This enables finer color reproduction when a device that supports Deep Color signals (HDMI1.3 Deep Color) is connected to the panel. The color depth appears on the InfoBanner if a program supports Deep Color.

The flat panel TV supports the following Video signals:

Supported Video Signals Supported PC Signals
·1920 x 1080p@60 Hz·1280 x 1024 (SXGA) 60 Hz
·1920 x 1080p@24 Hz·1360 x 768 (Wide - XGA) 60 Hz
·1920 x 1080i@59.94 Hz/60 Hz·1024 x 768 (XGA) 60 Hz
·1280 x 720p@59.94 Hz/60 Hz·800 x 600 (SVGA) 60 Hz
·720 x 480p@59.94 Hz/60 Hz·640 x 480 (VGA) 60 Hz
·720 (1440) x 480i@59.94 Hz/60 Hz

Note: It may take a short period for the image to appear on the other equipment, depending on the type of device.

The flat panel TV supports the following Audio signals:

  • Linear PCM (STEREO 2ch)

5.11 Add Other Audio Equipment

The flat panel TV's digital audio output terminal (optical) can output Dolby Digital signals. Using an optical digital cable, connect an AV receiver to the digital audio output terminal (optical) on the rear of the flat panel TV. This connection allows audio such as from digital TV broadcasts to play back in high quality.

If your AV receiver does not have a digital audio input terminal (optical), connect the AUDIO OUT terminals (AUDIO) on the rear of the flat panel TV to the audio input terminals on the AV receiver. However, this method may result in audio delay between the speakers and the sound from the AV receiver. To reduce the delay, mute the speakers on the flat panel TV. Nonetheless, you may still experience some delay between the sound and the picture.

6.1 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

This section answers some of the questions received by our Support staff members. If your question is not here or you would like more information please see the Pioneer website for more FAQs (www.pioneerelectronics.com) about your specific model or our flat panel TVs in general.

Why won't the remote control buttons control my flat panel TV?

If you select the mode other than TV on the remote control, your flat panel TV cannot receive the commands. Press the SELECT button to toggle the modes until the TV indicator lights.

Why do I have to move closer to the panel to use the remote control?

Weak batteries in the remote control can cause communication to fail. Try moving closer to the panel and attempt to control the panel with the remote. If the panel responds then change the batteries. If moving closer has no effect on the panel, check the surroundings for objects that might be blocking the signal. Also consider if other equipment that use remote controls have been added to the area around the panel. Objects and other IR signals can disrupt the remote.

How can I protect the remote so it holds up longer?

There are several ways to protect your remote control. Do not leave the remote sitting in direct sunlight as this can warp or deform the case. Avoid spilling liquids on the remote but if this happens, dry it immediately. If necessary, remove the batteries and allow the unit to dry completely before attempting to use it again. Areas with high humidity can also cause damage.

Another issue that can affect the remote control is a leaking battery. The chemicals from a leaky battery can discolor or damage the remote. If there is visible leakage in a battery, remove both batteries immediately and carefully wipe the battery compartment clean. Replace both batteries with fresh ones.

Can the signal from my panel's remote mess up other audio/video equipment?

The flat panel TV emits very weak infrared rays from its screen. If there is other equipment close by that also uses a remote control such as a DVR or stereo system, it may not receive commands from its remote control properly. Try moving the equipment farther away from the flat panel TV.

Note: The strength of infrared rays emitted from the panel differs as the picture changes on the screen.

Why does the picture seem to dim when I leave a picture on the screen?

When still images (such as photos and computer images) stay on the screen for an extended period of time, the screen slightly dims. This function protects the panel from damage by automatically adjusting the screen brightness. The screen dims when a still image is detected for approximately three minutes.

How do I find (or change) the Parental Control password if I forgot it?

To clear a forgotten password, from an "Enter Password" window, press and hold the ENTER button on the remote control for three or more seconds. This action resets the password to the default value of 1234. To set a new password, refer to "3.5.1 Assign a Parental Control (Block) Password."

The picture and/or sound on a channel coming through the antenna doesn't seem as clear as it should be, what can I do?

Channels received through an antenna may have a weaker signal. To check signal strength, refer to "Check the Signal Strength" in Section 6.4.1 for more information.

Why is the picture cropped when I feed a PC signal through the PDP-6020FD/5020FD's HDMI input?

If you select Video for Signal Type in the HDMI Input menu, the image is over-scanned (enlarged) but the panel automatically switches to PC when receiving computer signals. Refer to "5.2.1 Specify the HDMI Input Type."

Why won't my Pioneer flat panel TV turn on?

It may be that your remote has failing batteries or has been damaged. Check the power cord connection at the wall and on the back of the panel. Also try pressing on you panel.

The panel's internal protection circuit may have been activated for some reason. First turn the panel's off, wait one (1) or more minutes, then turn it back on. If the light still blinks, unplug the power cord from the outlet. Plug in the panel again after one to two minutes. If this fails to solve the problem, contact your dealer or Pioneer Customer Support (see inside back cover).

What can I do to prevent image retention or burn-in?

Burn-in or Image Retention is a side effect of plasma technology. After an image remains on the display for an extended time period, when the image changes or the unit is turned off, a faint afterimage or ghost of the original picture may remain. Continuing to play video or leaving the unit turned off for a length of time can clear the afterimage. We recommend the following steps and settings to prevent image retention or burn-in.

  • Set Screen Protection to On .
  • Select PC for a signal type when using a PC through an HDMI input.

How do I clean my flat panel TV?

To clean the screen surface, gently wipe it with the supplied dry cloth. Rubbing hard on the screen can scratch the special film coating. Use a clean soft cloth (cotton or flannel, for example) for the TV cabinet. For details on cleaning, refer to "6.3 Cleaning Methods."

6.2 Check Your Software/Hardware Version

You can check the version of all software and hardware used in your flat panel TV. To access the version information, follow the directions below.

1) Access the System Setup through the Setup.
2) Select Technical Info, from the System Setup menu.

Software and hardware versions appear.

3) Press HOME MENU to exit the menu after checking the versions.

6.3 Cleaning Methods

Before cleaning your flat panel TV, unplug the power cord from the outlet.

When cleaning the screen or the glossy front bezel, gently wipe with a clean, dry cloth such as the supplied cleaning cloth or a similar type of soft cloth (e.g., cotton, flannel, etc.). Avoid a wet or damp cloth as that can let moisture seep into the panel. A dusty or rough-textured cloth (or if you rub too hard), can scratch surfaces.

Note: Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners on the screen.

The chassis or cabinet of the panel is mostly composed of plastic. Do not use chemicals such as benzene or paint thinner to clean the cabinet. These chemicals can mar the finish or cause other deterioration. When cleaning the cabinet, use the same type of cloth and method as described for the front bezel.

Note: Do not affix labels, tapes, etc. to any visible location on the flat panel TV. Adhesives can discolor or mar the panel surfaces.

7 Cautions andWarnings

Your flat panel TV is designed for a long and productive life. To keep your panel at peak performance, there are a few things that can help. This section provides general information and specific warnings to help you maintain the flat panel TV at top quality throughout its lifetime.

Note: If you do not intend to use your flat panel TV for an extended period, occasionally power on and run the panel to maintain functionality.

7.1 Installation Details

It is best to use parts and accessories designed by Pioneer. Use of accessories other than the Pioneer stand or installation bracket may result in instability and could cause injury. For custom installations, please speak with your dealer or expert installer before attempting to install your high-end flat panel TV. These professionals are familiar with proper installation techniques including ventilation.

Using the unit without proper ventilation may cause the internal temperature to rise and could result in a possible malfunction. When the surrounding environmental or internal temperature exceeds a certain degree, the display automatically powers off in order to cool the internal electronics and prevent a hazardous situation.

A malfunction can be caused by a single issue such as ventilation or by a combination of factors. Pioneer is not responsible for accidents or damage caused by using parts and/or accessories manufactured by other companies, inadequate installation sites, poor stabilization practices, erroneous installation methods, operational mistakes, site remodeling, or natural disasters.

For more installation information, refer to the following bullet points:

  • Confirm that panel vents are not partially obstructed or completely blocked.
  • Use a vacuum cleaner set to its lowest suction setting to clean dusty vents.
  • Distance the panel from the wall, other equipment, etc. (for minimum space requirements, refer to "2.1.1 Check the Location for Suitability").
  • Do not fit the unit inside of narrow spaces where ventilation is poor.
  • Do not drape, seat, or enclose the panel in any material including blankets, loose cloth, or carpeting as this could block the panel vents.
  • Use a proper mount or stand rather than leaning the panel against a wall or other support.

7.2 Physical Location & Temperature Considerations

Condensation may form on the surface or inside of the flat panel TV when the panel is moved from a cold place to a warm place or just after a heater or air conditioner is switched on. If condensation forms, do not turn on the flat panel TV until all moisture evaporates. Powering on the display when there is condensation may cause the panel to malfunction.

7.3 Usage Guidelines

For maximum enjoyment of your Pioneer flat panel TV, read the following information carefully.

Over the course of the flat panel TV's lifetime, as with all phosphor-based screens including standard tube-type TVs, the luminosity of the screen diminishes very slowly. Also, static pictures shown over an extended period can adversely affect the screen image. To enjoy bright and beautiful pictures for many years to come, please apply the following guidelines.

  • Set the flat panel TV to Standby when it is not being used.
  • Avoid leaving a still image or frequently showing the same picture on the screen (e.g. closed-captioned images, games with static portions, etc.).
  • Hide the On Screen Display (OSD) from a DVD player, VCR, or other device when not in use.
  • Do not leave a picture freeze-framed or paused for long periods.
  • Avoid showing a picture with very bright and very dark areas on the screen for extended lengths to time.
  • Activate the GAME mode on the AV Selection submenu to play a game but try to limit using this mode for more than two hours at a time.

View full-motion, high-action video in WIDE or FULL screen after playing a game or showing a still/PC image. The recommended duration for showing the action video is three times as long as the game or PC image was on the screen.
View full-motion video in WIDE or FULL screen after playing content with side, top, or bottom masking (black bars). Extensive viewing of masked content without this recovery process can cause uneven wear on the plasma cells.

7.4 Signal Interference or Noise

Signal interference, also referred to as video noise or white noise, can be caused by many different situations. The most common are addressed in the following sections.

Infrared rays

The flat panel TV releases infrared rays because of its characteristics. Depending on how the flat panel TV is used, remote controls for nearby equipment may be adversely affected. Wireless headphones using infrared rays can experience noise interference. If this is the case, move equipment to a location where its remote control sensor is not affected.

Radio Signals

While this flat panel TV meets the required specifications, it can affect the signals for surrounding equipment. If your radio, PC, VCR, or other electrical equipment is disrupted by the panel, move the equipment away from the panel.

Flat Panel TV Motor

The screen of the flat panel TV is composed of extremely fine pixels that emit light according to received video signals. This principle may cause you to hear a slight buzz or electrical hum coming from the panel. This is a normal sound for the flat panel TV and does not indicate a failing unit.

Flat Panel TV Fans

You may hear the sound of a fan motor at times. The slight noise is caused by a cooling fan motor speeding up when the ambient temperature of the flat panel TV rises. This is a normal function of the panel and is not a malfunction.

7.5 Phosphor Properties

The following are typical effects and characteristics of a phosphor-based matrix display and as such are not covered by the Warranty:

Permanent residual images upon the phosphors of the panel
- Existence of one or more inactive light cells in small quantity
- Noises generated by fan motors, electrical circuits (hum), panel plates, etc.

7.6 Image Information Including Retention & After-Image Lag

Programs may be high definition (HD) or standard definition (SD). This flat panel TV automatically scales to the appropriate definition type. If the video program's definition type changes while a menu window is on screen (for example: HD to SD or SD to HD) the menu size may temporarily shrink or enlarge until the panel finishes adjusting the picture. Adjusting may happen, for example, when switching between a TV program and playback from a DVR, or when a recorded program switches between different definition types while the menu is showing. The menu returns to its normal size after a couple of seconds. This action is normal and does not indicate a problem with your flat panel TV.

Pixel Information

Plasma screens show pictures using pixels. Pioneer flat panel TVs contain a very large number of pixels. The size of the panel determines the number of pixels. With the 20FD Series models, there are over 6.2 million pixels in the 50^ / 60^ panel. All Pioneer display panels are manufactured using a very high level of ultra-precision technology and undergo individual quality control.

In rare cases, some pixels can be permanently switched off, or on, resulting in either a black or colored pixel permanently fixed on the screen. This effect is common to all plasma displays because it is a consequence of the technology.

If the defective pixels are visible at the standard viewing distance of between 2.5 and 3.5 meters (8.2 feet and 11.5 feet) while viewing a normal broadcast (i.e. not a test card, still image, or single color display) please immediately contact Pioneer Customer Support (USA) or Customer Satisfaction (CANADA). See inside back cover for contact information. If, however, the faulty pixels can only be seen close up or during single color displays then this is considered normal for this technology.

Image Retention (a.k.a. Burn-In)

Leaving a static picture on screen for several hours can cause a faint imprint of the image. This imprint is known as image retention or burn-in. The image may be temporary or permanent. Although caused by different things, image retention can occur on all display technologies including LDC, plasma, direct view CRT TVs, and projection TVs.

On today's plasma displays, permanent image retention is less of a worry. Most image retention can be improved simply by watching something with a lot of action or rapid screen changes. To avoid image retention as much as possible, refer to the guidelines below.

  • Change the picture periodically when showing static images, such as a fixed image from a PC or a TV game unit, for longer periods.
  • Avoid leaving fixed images such as time of day indicator or channel logos on screen whenever possible.
  • Display content in a wide aspect ratio (no black or gray bars on any side of the content). This flat panel TV is equipped with multiple wide-screen viewing modes; use one of these modes to fill the entire screen with content. View in a wide aspect ratio unless doing so would be a copyright infringement.
  • Set the Side Mask detection function to Mode 1 or Mode 2. High Definition 16:9 aspect ratio images containing side masks are detected automatically and side masks are added or the image appears in full-screen.
  • Avoid showing dark images after still images for a period of time. In most cases, any image retention caused by this sequence can be corrected by displaying bright images for a similar period of time.

After-Image Lag

Displaying the same images such as still images for a long time may cause after-image lagging. After-Image Lag refers to a ghost of the still image remaining visible after the picture is no longer being shown. This may occur in the following cases.

  • After-image lagging due to remaining electric load

If an image with very high peak luminance is displayed for more than a minute, after-image lagging may occur due to the remaining electric load. The ghost-image remaining on the screen disappears when moving images are shown. The luminance of the still image and the length of time it was displayed determine how long it takes for the ghost image to fade away.

After-image (lag image) due to burning

Avoid displaying the same image on the flat panel TV continuously over a long period. If the same image is displayed continuously for several hours, or for shorter periods over several days, a permanent after-image may remain on the screen. This after-image is permanent because the fluorescent materials burned.

Burned images may fade eventually after playing other video sequences but do not disappear completely.

When a program menu, or frozen image is displayed for up to 10 minutes, the flat panel TV automatically turns the image off to prevent the screen from being burned.

Screen Protection

Screen Protection simultaneously optimizes the related settings to alleviate image retention. For details, see "3.6.2 Extend Your Panel Life."

Image Orbiter

Another built-in feature to protect against burn-in is the Orbiter function. Orbiter automatically changes the position of the picture imperceptibly while the image is on screen. For more information about the feature, refer to "3.6.3 Turn On the Image Orbiter."

7.7 Safety Precautions

Version 2, June 1991

Copyright © 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.

Preamble

The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software - to make sure the software is free for all its users. This General Public License applies to most of the Free Software Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by the GNU Lesser General Public License instead.) You can apply it to your programs, too.

When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.

To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.

For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.

We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the software.

Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original authors' reputations.

Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.

The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow.

GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE

TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION

  1. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below, refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program" means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you". Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Program (independent of having been made by running the Program). Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.

  2. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License along with the Program. You may charge a

Appendix

fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.

  1. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:

a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.
c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when run, you must cause it, when started running for such interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on the Program is not required to print an announcement.) These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it. Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Program. In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this License.

  1. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:

a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, it linking proprietary applications with the library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General Public License instead of this License.
c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in object code or executable form with such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.) The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a special exception, the source code distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the executable. If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place counts as distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code.

  1. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
  2. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the

Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the Program or works based on it.

  1. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.

You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to this License.

  1. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.

If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances. It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software distribution system, which is implemented by public license practices. Many people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice. This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License.

  1. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Program under this License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
  2. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.

Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.

  1. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.

NO WARRANTY

11.Because THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE Copyright Holders AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTYES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
12.IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES

Appendix

SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS

How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs

If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.

To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.

Copyright ©

This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.

This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNU General Public License for more details.

You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA.

Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.

If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode:

Gnomovision version 69, Copyright © year name of author

Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type 'show w'. This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions; type 'show c' for details.

The hypothetical commands 'show w' and 'show c' should show the appropriate parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may be called something other than 'show w' and 'show c'; they could even be mouse-clicks or menu items - whatever suits your program.

You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:

Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program 'Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.

, 1 April 1989

Ty Coon, President of Vice

This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General Public License instead of this License.

[GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE]

Version 2.1, February 1999

Copyright © 1991, 1999 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA

Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.

[This is the first released version of the Lesser GPL. It also counts as the successor of the GNU Library Public License, version 2, hence the version number 2.1.]

Preamble

The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software - to make sure the software is free for all its users. This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies to some specially designated software packages - typically libraries - of the Free Software Foundation and other authors who decide to use it. You can use it too, but we suggest you first think carefully about whether this license or the ordinary General Public License is the better strategy to use in any particular case, based on the explanations below.

When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom of use, not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish); that you receive source code or can get it if you want it; that you can change the software and use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you are informed that you can do these things.

To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid distributors to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender these rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the library or if you modify it.

For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave you. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. If you link other code with the library, you must provide complete object files to the recipients, so that they can relink them with the library after making changes to the library and recompiling it. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights. We protect your rights with a two-step method: (1) we copyright the library, and (2) we offer you this license, which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library.

To protect each distributor, we want to make it very clear that there is no warranty for the free library. Also, if the library is modified by someone else and passed on, the recipients should know that what they have is not the original version, so that the original author's reputation will not be affected by problems that might be introduced by others.

Finally, software patents pose a constant threat to the existence of any free program. We wish to make sure that a company cannot effectively restrict the users of a free program by obtaining a restrictive license from a patent holder. Therefore, we insist that any patent license obtained for a version of the library must be consistent with the full freedom of use specified in this license.

Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the ordinary GNU General Public License. This license, the GNU Lesser General Public License, applies to certain designated libraries, and is quite different from the ordinary General Public License. We use this license for certain libraries in order to permit linking those libraries into non-free programs.

When a program is linked with a library, whether statically or using a shared library, the combination of the two is legally speaking a combined work, a derivative of the original library. The ordinary General Public License therefore permits such linking only if the entire combination fits its criteria of freedom. The Lesser General Public License permits more lax criteria for linking other code with the library.

We call this license the "Lesser" General Public License because it does Less to protect the user's freedom than the ordinary General Public License. It also provides other free software developers Less of an advantage over competing non-free programs. These disadvantages are the reason we use the ordinary General Public License for many libraries. However, the Lesser license provides advantages in certain special circumstances.

For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special need to encourage the widest possible use of a certain library, so that it becomes a de-facto standard. To achieve this, non-free programs must be allowed to use the library. A more frequent case is that a free library does the same job as widely used non-free libraries. In this case, there is little to gain by limiting the free library to free software only, so we use the Lesser General Public License. In other cases, permission to use a particular library in non-free programs enables a greater number of people to use a large body of free software. For example, permission to use the GNU C Library in non-free programs enables many more people to use the whole GNU operating system, as well as its variant, the GNU Linux operating system.

Although the Lesser General Public License is Less protective of the users' freedom, it does ensure that the user of a program that is linked with the Library has the freedom and the wherewithal to run that program using a modified version of the Library.

The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow. Pay close attention to the difference between a "work based on the library" and a "work that uses the library". The former contains code derived from the library, whereas the latter must be combined with the library in order to run.

GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE

TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION

  1. This License Agreement applies to any software library or other program which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder or other authorized party saying it may be distributed under the terms of this Lesser General Public License (also called "this License"). Each licensee is addressed as "you".

A "library" means a collection of software functions and/or data prepared so as to be conveniently linked with application programs (which use some of those functions and data) to form executables.

The "Library", below, refers to any such software library or work which has been distributed under these terms. A "work based on the Library" means either the Library or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Library or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated straightforwardly into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term "modification".)

"Source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. For a library, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the library.

Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running a program using the Library is not restricted, and output from such a program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Library (independent of the use of the Library in a tool for writing it). Whether that is true depends on what the Library does and what the program that uses the Library does.

  1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's complete source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and distribute a copy of this License along with the Library.

You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.

  1. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Library, and copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:

a) The modified work must itself be a software library.
b) You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
c) You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.
d) If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or a table of data to be supplied by an application program that uses the facility, other than as an argument passed when the facility is invoked, then you must make a good faith effort to ensure that, in the event an application does not supply such function or table, the facility still operates, and performs whatever part of its purpose remains meaningful. (For example, a function in a library to compute square roots has a purpose that is entirely well-defined independent of the application. Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that any application-supplied function or table used by this function must be optional: if the application does not supply it, the square root function must still compute square roots.)

These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Library, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Library, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.

Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Library.

In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Library with the Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this License.

  1. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public License instead of this License to a given copy of the Library. To do this, you must alter all the notices that refer to this License, so that they refer to the

ordinary GNU General Public License, version 2, instead of to this License. (If a newer version than version 2 of the ordinary GNU General Public License has appeared, then you can specify that version instead if you wish.) Do not make any other change in these notices.

Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for that copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies to all subsequent copies and derivative works made from that copy. This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of the Library into a program that is not a library.

  1. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange.

If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place satisfies the requirement to distribute the source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code.

  1. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being compiled or linked with it, is called a "work that uses the Library". Such a work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the Library, and therefore falls outside the scope of this License.

However, linking a "work that uses the Library" with the Library creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because it contains portions of the Library), rather than a "work that uses the library". The executable is therefore covered by this License. Section 6 states terms for distribution of such executables.

When a "work that uses the Library" uses material from a header file that is part of the Library, the object code for the work may be a derivative work of the Library even though the source code is not. Whether this is true is especially significant if the work can be linked without the Library, or if the work is itself a library. The threshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by law.

If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data structure layouts and accessors, and small macros and small inline functions (ten lines or less in length), then the use of the object file is unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a derivative work. (Executables containing this object code plus portions of the Library will still fall under Section 6.)

Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may distribute the object code for the work under the terms of Section 6. Any executables containing that work also fall under Section 6, whether or not they are linked directly with the Library itself.

  1. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also combine or link a "work that uses the Library" with the Library to produce a work containing portions of the Library, and distribute that work under terms of your choice, provided that the terms permit modification of the work for the customer's own use and reverse engineering for debugging such modifications.

You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by this License. You must supply a copy of this License. If the work during execution displays copyright notices, you must include the copyright notice for the Library among them, as well as a reference directing the user to the copy of this License. Also, you must do one of these things:

a) Accompany the work with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code for the Library including whatever changes were used in the work (which must be distributed under Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work is an executable linked with the Library, with the complete machine-readable "work that uses the Library", as object code and/or source code, so that the user can modify the Library and then relink to produce a modified executable containing the modified Library. (It is understood that the user who changes the contents of definitions files in the Library will not necessarily be able to recompile the application to use the modified definitions.)
b) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the Library. A suitable mechanism is one that (1) uses at run time a copy of the library already present on the user's computer system, rather than copying library functions into the executable, and (2) will operate properly with a modified version of the library, if the user installs one, as long as the modified version is interface-compatible with the version that the work was made with.
c) Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give the same user the materials specified in Subsection 6a, above, for a charge no more than the cost of performing this distribution.
d) If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, offer equivalent access to copy the above specified materials from the same place.
e) Verify that the user has already received a copy of these materials or that you have already sent this user a copy.

Appendix

For an executable, the required form of the "work that uses the Library" must include any data and utility programs needed for reproducing the executable from it. However, as a special exception, the materials to be distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the executable.

It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license restrictions of other proprietary libraries that do not normally accompany the operating system. Such a contradiction means you cannot use both them and the Library together in an executable that you distribute.

  1. You may place library facilities that are a work based on the Library side-by-side in a single library together with other library facilities not covered by this License, and distribute such a combined library, provided that the separate distribution of the work based on the Library and of the other library facilities is otherwise permitted, and provided that you do these two things:

a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work based on the Library, uncombined with any other library facilities. This must be distributed under the terms of the Sections above.
b) Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact that part of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining where to find the accompanying uncombined form of the same work.

  1. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute the Library except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute the Library is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
  2. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Library or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Library (or any work based on the Library), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the Library or works based on it.
  3. Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on the Library), the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute, link with or modify the Library subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.
    11.If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the Library at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Library by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Library. If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply, and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.

It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software distribution system which is implemented by public license practices. Many people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up to the author donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice.

This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License.

  1. If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted in certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Library under this License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
  2. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the Lesser General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.

Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Library specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Library does not specify a license version number, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.

14.If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library into other free programs whose distribution conditions are incompatible with these, write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.

NO WARRANTY

15.Because THE LIBRARY IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE LIBRARY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE Copyright Holders AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE LIBRARY "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTYES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE LIBRARY IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE LIBRARY PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
16.IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE LIBRARY AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE LIBRARY (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED IN ACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE LIBRARY TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER SOFTWARE), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS

How to Apply These Terms to Your New Libraries

If you develop a new library, and you want it to be of the greatest possible use to the public, we recommend making it free software that everyone can redistribute and change. You can do so by permitting redistribution under these terms (or, alternatively, under the terms of the ordinary General Public License).

To apply these terms, attach the following notices to the library. It is safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.

Copyright ©

This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2.1 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.

This library is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNU Lesser General Public License for more details.

You should have received a copy of the GNU Lesser General Public License along with this library; if not, write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA

Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.

You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the library, if necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:

Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the library 'Frob' (a library for tweaking knobs) written by James Random Hacker.

, 1 April 1990

Ty Coon, President of Vice

That's all there is to it!

8.4 Glossary

HDMI

The High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) is a digital data transmission standard for consumer electronics/home appliances. HDMI connects digital audio/video sources to a compatible digital audio and/or video device, such as a flat panel TV. HDMI also allows digitally transmitted audio and control signals on a single cable for multi-channel digital audio sources.

PCM

The Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) is a method for converting analog audio signals to digital. PCM is used in music CDs.

Dolby Digital

Dolby Digital is an encoding technology for audio signal compressions. Dolby Digital supports high-quality, high-compression, multi-channel audio formats. The 5.1-channel surround format is utilized in digital broadcasts.

High-Definition Broadcast

HD is a digital television broadcasting system with greater resolution than traditional television systems. As compared with the existing terrestrial analog broadcasting system capable of producing an image composed of 525 lines of resolution, the digital high-definition broadcasting system features 750 or 1125 lines, thus providing higher definition and quality image.

Interlaced Scanning

In NTSC television or video image display, interlaced scanning first redraws every second line of the image field (262.5 lines) per each image refresh in 1/60 of a second, then the remaining lines with a second refresh in 1/60 of a second for a complete frame of an image (525 lines). Effective scanning lines are expressed as "480i" and "1080i" ("i" stands for "interlaced").

Progressive Scanning

The progressive scanning redraws an image frame (all of its lines) in order per each image refresh. Compared to interlaced scanning, progressive scanning produces less flicker, making it suitable for displaying text and still images. Effective scanning lines are expressed as "480p" and "720p" ("p" stands for "progressive").

Default Gateway

Default gateway is a node on a computer network that serves as an access point to another network. A default gateway (such as a computer and router) is used to forward all traffic that is not addressed to a station within the local subnet.

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) Server

Provides a mechanism to allocate IP addresses to client hosts. In most cases, a broadband router serves as a DHCP server in a home network.

DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance)

The DLNA authorized logo makes it easy for consumers to recognize products that meet the new standard for home network PCs and other digital devices, as set down in the DLNA Guidelines for interoperability. This allows music, video, etc. to be enjoyed from various devices over a home network. This unit is compatible with music, photo and video content, and is based on the DLNA Home Networked Device Interoperability Guidelines - expanded: October 2006 (v1.5). This unit can be used to playback music, photos and video stored on a DLNA-compatible server connected through a LAN cable.

Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) is dedicated to the simplified sharing of digital content, such as digital music, photos and video among networked consumer electronics (CE) and PCs. By establishing a platform of interoperability based on open industry standards, DLNA delivers technical design guidelines that companies can use to develop digital home products that share content through wired or wireless networks in the home.

PTP (Picture Transfer Protocol)

A protocol that allows the transfer of images and manipulation of digital cameras through USB connection. Most recent digital cameras and other devices support PTP allowing the transfer of images through direct connections.

Subnet Mask

Used to determine the network when IP addresses are broken into several parts. It is expressed as "255.255.255.0". In most cases, the Subnet mask is automatically assigned by the DHCP server.

UPnP (Universal Plug and Play)

Architecture for pervasive peer-to-peer network connectivity of devices of all form factors. It is designed to bring easy-to-use, flexible, standard based connectivity to ad-hoc or unmanaged networks whether in the home, in a small business, public spaces, or attached to the Internet.

USB (Universal Serial Bus)
