PDP-425CMX RS-232C Adjustment This display has an RS-232C terminal. It is possible to use a PC to make various adjustments and settings. 1.1 About the RS-232C Adjustment Adjustments using the RS-232C: • The adjustments are written to the same memory area as for the integrator mode (refer to section 5.4.4, “PICTURE, White Balance and SCREEN Position Adjustment Values Memory Area Tables” pg. 187 in the Technical Manual). Notes (1) Assign an ID before using the RS-232C adjustment.

RS-232C Adjustment 1.3 Combination Connection When controlling/adjusting panels, it is convenient to connect several displays to one PC. By performing a combination connection and assigning IDs to the panels, it is possible to control and adjust several displays at the same time or separately. Connection method: Connect the panels as shown in the figure below.
RS-232C Adjustment 1.4 ID Assignment The ID is assigned from the PC. Commands: (ID CLEAR) ........ Clears the assigned ID (ID SET) ............. Assigns an ID IDS is only effective when an ID is not assigned. IDs are assigned starting from the panel closest to the PC. Example: Case of 4 displays (assigning IDs with the PC for the first time) First, connect an RS-232C and combination cables. Refer to section “Combination cables” for details.
RS-232C Adjustment Under the connection conditions shown below, use a combination cable for up to 16 panels. Conditions: 1 Length of RS-232C cable connecting PC to PDP-425CMX/PDP-42MXE10: 5 m 2 Combination cable length: 5 m each 3 Wire specifications for linking cable: Mini Din 6-pin straight (7 strand cable) For 1 strand, suitable for AWG28: Cross-section area = 0.08 mm2 ≠ 7 strands × π r2 = 7 × 3.14 × 0.062 = 0.079 mm2 ≠ 0.

Screen Burning 2.03.0Screen Burning When the same image is reproduced for a long period (still image, telop, etc.), the image is burned into to screen. It may be difficult to remove this image. Burning should be managed by making necessary changes in the video software, projection method, system configuration etc. This display has a function that reduces this kind of burning. 7 Menu mode 1 ENERGY SAVE setting: refer to sections 5.3.4, “Adjustment and setting in the Menu Mode 4) Energy Saving Setting” (pg.
Precautions on Connecting Camera Images/Concerning frame delay (lip sync) 3.0 Precautions on Connecting Camera Images Connecting and using moving images that are nearly still, such as images from a surveillance camera, could damage the panel and reduce the life or be the cause of other issues. In this situation, it is necessary to set the image quality beforehand. For instructions on setting the image quality, contact your Pioneer representative. (Set the ‘ENERGY SAVE’ function to ‘MODE2’ or ‘MODE3’.
Precautions 5.0 Precautions 1) If the power shuts down and stays OFF for a long period, an internal problem has probably occurred (failing part, etc.). Turn OFF the main power switch on the Plasma Display then wait 1 to 2 minutes and try turning the power ON again. If the power goes OFF again, the display need to be serviced. If the display operates normally, the power reset has cleared the issue. 2) When an image (still image, telop, etc.
Maintenance 1) Be sure to unplug the power cord from the power outlet before performing maintenance. 2) Cabinet and Remote-control Unit Never use solvents such as benzene or thinner. Using such solvents could cause the cabinet and remote control to degrade and could cause the coating to peel. Wipe the cabinet and remote control with a soft cloth. If there is heavy soiling, soak a soft cloth in water mixed with a mild detergent. Ring out the water well then clean the panel.
