Page 21: Installation Site Requirements
Installation Site Requirements [50MXE20 : 42MXE20] 3.1 Installation Site Requirements If the site requires modifications or special preparations before installing the Plasma Display or its mounting hardware, obtain permission in advance from the building owner or building authorities. To ensure safety, it is also important to determine the strength of the installation site with the help of an authorized building contractor.
Page 22 If other products controlled with infrared remote controls are placed nearby, remote control function may be affected. In such cases, move other devices further away from the display or contact a Pioneer-authorized dealer for assistance. Depending on installation conditions, the remote control range may be reduced by infrared radiation emitted by the screen.
Page 23: Installation Conditions (Pdp-50Mxe20)
In a standard installation, two fans and part A draw hot air from the unit. All openings not assisted by fans serve as air inlets. If the unit is hung from or embedded into a wall, special operating temperature limits and other limitations may apply. Refer to section “3.5 Special Installation (PDP-50MXE20)” (pg. 36) for more information.
