Page 47: How To Use The Standard Mounting Components
In addition to reliability and the vivid display resulting from its large screen area, brightness, and image quality, the plasma display (PDP-502MX) is thin and lightweight, enabling mounting in locations not possible for conventional displays. We considered various mounting patterns and operating conditions during the design of the plasma display (PDP- 502MX).
Page 48: Handling The Standard Mounting Components
This section of the manual discusses ways to mount, install, and handle the mounting hardware exclusively designed for our plasma displays. Mounting should be performed by qualified experts. Refer all installation and mounting work to qualified persons, or request assistance from a Pioneer dealer. 4.2.2 Precautions for installation contractors 1) Before installation Observe the specifications supplied in 3.1 “Installation Site Requirements”.

Menu Mode 8) ABL ON/OFF Setting ABL: ON during playback of PC signals increases screen brightness. If you set “ABL to ON” then the peak brightness will rise, and in addition the brightness of the pictures produced by input signals will change. If the change is unsatisfactory, set ABL: OFF.
Page 105: H/V Enhancement Tuning
Menu Mode 9) H/V enhancement tuning H/V enhancement tuning may be used to adjust picture sharpness for PC input signals. Horizontal and vertical sharpness may be adjusted independently. Note that sharpness control is particularly effective when displaying enlarged XGA, SVGA, or VGA input or when displaying compressed SXGA or UXGA input. Note:Setting the sharpness level too high may result in the outlines of text or other elements displayed to appear unnatural.
