Maintenance And Cleaning - Pioneer PDP-501MX Technical Manual

1) Unplug the Power Cord from the Outlet.
2) Cabinet and Remote
Never use solvents such as benzene or thinner, which can damage or destroy the coating of the cabinet or the
remote.
Remove dirt by lightly wiping with a soft cloth.
If necessary, slightly moisten the cloth with neutral detergent diluted with water. In humid conditions, wipe off
condensation with a dry cloth.
3) Screen (Front Protection Panel)
The screen surface (front protection panel) is coated with a delicate anti-glare material. To clean the screen, dust off
and wipe lightly with a soft cloth. Do not rub with tissue paper or hard abrasive materials.
Never use solvents such as benzene and thinner, which can discolor or render the screen opaque.
For cleaning, we recommend the following cloth and fluid.
Name
Cleaning Cloth: Wiping Cloth
Cleaning Cloth: Minimax
Cleaning Liquid: B4
For light soiling, dust off particles, then lightly wipe with Minimax.
For heavy soiling, dust off particles, then wipe with the end of Minimax lightly moistened with B4. Once the surface
dries, wipe with dry Minimax.
4) Vent
Every month, remove dirt from the vent openings that house fans on the sides and rear of the main unit, using a
vacuum cleaner set to its lowest suction setting. Be sure to switch off the main power on the main unit before
cleaning the vents.
Blocked vents can lead to dangerously high internal temperatures, resulting in malfunctions or fire.
5) Readjustment of White Balance
This unit uses phosphor elements, as do CRTs. These phosphors degrade over time, reducing brightness. Since
green and blue phosphors degrade faster than red, we recommend readjusting the white balance every 1000 hours.
