Replacement and mounting of an AC plug on the power supply cord of this unit should be performed only by qualified 

service personnel.

IMPORTANT: THE MOULDED PLUG

This appliance is supplied with a moulded three pin mains plug for your safety and convenience. A 13 amp fuse is fitted in this plug. Should the 

fuse need to be replaced, please ensure that the replacement fuse has a rating of 13 amps and that it is approved by ASTA or BSI to BS1362.

Check for the ASTA mark  

or the BSI mark  

on the body of the fuse.

If the plug contains a removable fuse cover, you must ensure that it is refitted when the fuse is replaced. If you lose the fuse cover the plug 

must not be used until a replacement cover is obtained. A replacement fuse cover can be obtained from your local dealer.

If the fitted moulded plug is unsuitable for your socket outlet, then the fuse shall be removed and the plug cut off and disposed of 

safely. There is a danger of severe electrical shock if the cut off plug is inserted into any 13 amp socket.

If a new plug is to be fitted, please observe the wiring code as shown below. If in any doubt, please consult a qualified electrician.

Simplified wiring

Connections to a Pioneer plasma Television are 

performed by a single HDMI cable.

No need to connect numerous cables from input 

components to plasma television. 

Even when a plasma television is wall-mounted, only a 

single HDMI cable needs to be placed through the wall 

(when a computer is not connected).

Flexible support when changing or adding new input 

components, even when a plasma television is wall-

mounted.

2

PDP-linked operation*

When set to use HDMI Control function to link this unit 

and a plasma television, the plasma television’s remote 

control can be used to control this unit as well.

• This unit’s power on/off control can be linked to the 

power on/off of the plasma television.

(To use linked power off, set the plasma television’s 

power off control setting.) 

• The plasma television’s remote control unit can be 

used to change inputs on this unit.

* When HDMI control is set to ON /when using a 

supported plasma television (see accompanying 

table).

3

Support for plasma television’s image quality 

control *

When HDMI Control function is activated to support 

linkage on both this unit and plasma television, it 

becomes possible to set this unit’s inputs to the same 

image quality settings possible on the plasma 

television. 

* When HDMI control is set to ON /when using a 

supported plasma television (see accompanying 

table).

4

Analog-to-HDMI conversion and scaling 

function to 576p/720p/1080i

Analog video signals (composite/S-video/Component) 

from other video components are converted to digital 

and output via HDMI.

Analog signals can be scaled (up/down) to 576p, 720p, 

or 1080i.

The video circuits are equipped with a Faroudja high-

image-quality circuit (DCDi) to suppress aliasing 

artefacts (“jaggies”) produced during IP conversion, 

thus creating a smoother, more natural, image.

 Caution

Improper use of batteries can result in chemical 

leakage or an explosion. Be sure to follow the 

instructions below.

• When you replace the batteries, use manganese or 

alkaline ones.

• Place the batteries with their terminals 

corresponding to the (+) and (–) indicators.

• Do not mix batteries of different types. Different 

types of batteries have different characteristics.

• Do not mix old and new batteries. Mixing old and 

new batteries can shorten the life of new batteries 

or cause chemical leakage in old batteries.

• Remove batteries as soon as they have worn out. 

Chemicals that leak from batteries can cause a 

rash. If you find any chemical leakage, wipe 

thoroughly with a cloth.

• The batteries supplied with this product may have a 

shorter life expectancy due to storage conditions.

• If you will not use the remote control unit for an 

extended period of time, remove the batteries from 

it.

•

WHEN DISPOSING OF USED BATTERIES, PLEASE 

COMPLY WITH GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS 

OR ENVIRONMENTAL PUBLIC INSTITUTION’S 

RULES THAT APPLY IN YOUR COUNTRY/AREA.

Operating range of the remote 

control unit

Operate the remote control unit while pointing it toward 

the remote control sensor (

) located at the left of the 

front panel of the unit. The distance from the remote 

control sensor must be within 7 m and the angle 

relative to the sensor must be within 30 degrees in the 

right, left, upward, or downward direction.

 Caution

• Do not expose the remote control unit to shock. In 

addition, do not expose the remote control unit to 

liquids, and do not place in an area with high 

humidity.

• Do not install or place the remote control unit under 

direct sunlight. The heat may cause deformation of 

the unit.

• The remote control unit may not work properly if the 

remote control sensor of the unit is under direct 

sunlight or strong lighting. In such case, change 

the angle of the lighting or unit, or operate the 

remote control unit closer to the remote control 

sensor.

• When any obstacle exists between the remote 

control unit and the remote control sensor, the 

remote control unit may not function.

• As the batteries become empty, the remote control 

unit can function within a shorter distance from the 

remote control sensor. Replace the batteries with 

new ones early enough.

Connecting control cables

Connect control cables between the unit and other 

Pioneer equipment having the 

 logo. You can then 

operate the connected equipment by sending 

commands from its remote control unit to the remote 

control sensor on the unit.

After the CONTROL IN/OUT terminals have been 

connected, the remote control sensors on the 

connected equipment do not accept commands from 

the remote control units. Face the remote control units 

to the remote control sensors on the unit when 

operating the connected equipment.

 Note

• Make sure that the power is turned off when making 

connections.

• Complete all component connections before 

making control cable connections.

The control cables (commercially available) are mono 

sound cables with mini plugs (no resistance).

 Note

simultaneously connect analog audio cables or 

video cables. System control will not operate 

properly when digital connections alone are made.
