Illustration depicts PDP-503CMX model. CONTROL SPEAKER – Synchronizing signal impedance selector switch Depending on the connections made at INPUT2, it may be necessary to set this switch to match the output impedance of the connected component’s synchronization signal. When the output impedance of the component’s synchronization signal is below 75 , set this switch to the 75 position (pages 12, 14).
Installation and Connections Installation of the Unit Installation using the supplied display stand Be sure to fix the supplied stand to the installation surface. Use commercially available M8 bolts that are 25 mm longer than the thickness of the installation surface. 1 Fix the supplied stand to the installation surface at each of the 4 prepared holes using commercially available M8 bolts .

When connecting to INPUT1 INPUT1 OUTPUT ANALOG RGB (ANALOG RGB) Connect the cable corresponding to the shape of the input terminal on this unit and the personal computer’s output terminal. Secure by tightening the terminal screws on both units. After connecting, on-screen setup is necessary. Please see pages 17 and 18.
Installation and Connections Connection of composite SYNC analog RGB source Make composite SYNC connections for a personal computer with output that has the vertical synchronization signal layered on top of the horizontal synchronization signal. When connecting to INPUT1 INPUT1 OUTPUT ANALOG RGB (ANALOG RGB) On-screen setup is necessary after connection.
Control Cord Connection When control cord connections are made, remote control operation of connected PIONEER components that bear the Î logo mark is done through the remote sensor on this unit. When the connection is made to the CONTROL IN jack on another unit, the remote sensor of that component will no longer receive signals.
Installation and Connections How to Route Cables Speed clamps and bead bands are included with this unit for bunching cables together. Once components are connected, follow the following steps to route cables. Organize cables together using the provided speed clamps. Insert 1 into an appropriate hole on the rear of the unit, then snap 2 into the back of 1 to fix the clamp.
Setting Up the System Setup after Connection After components have been connected to INPUT1 or INPUT2, on-screen setup is necessary. Follow the procedure described below and make settings as they apply to the type of components connected.
