Maintenance
Name Part Number
Cleaning cloth: Wiping cloth AED1197
Cleaning cloth: Minimax GED-009
Cleaning liquid: B4 GEM1004
1) Always 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 to clean the unit. Using such solvents could cause the cabinet and remote
control coating to degrade and peal.
Wipe the cabinet and remote control with a soft cloth. If there is heavy soiling, dip a soft cloth in clean water mixed with
a mild detergent. Ring out the water well then wipe soiled areas. Finish by absorbing any moisture with a soft, dry cloth.
3) Screen (front protection panel)
The screen (front protection panel) is treated with a special coating to prevent glare and is very delicate. To clean it,
gently wipe with a soft cloth to remove any dust. Do not clean the front screen with a tissue or rough cloth. Also,
absolutely do NOT use solvents such as benzene or thinner to clean the screen. The front panel could become
transparent or discolored.
The following cleaning cloths and cleaning liquid are recommended.
In the case of light soiling, remove the dust then gently wipe with a Minimax cloth. In the case of heavy soiling, remove
the dust then apply a small amount of B4 cleaning liquid to a small area of the Minimax cloth and clean again. If the B4
is left on the screen, the surface may become uneven. After the B4 has dried, wipe the screen with a dry Minimax cloth.
4) Vents
Dust should be removed from the cooling vents on the sides and rear of the unit and in the fan installation area once
a month with a vacuum cleaner set on LOW. The main power switch must be turned OFF before cleaning the vents.
Using the unit with accumulated dust causes the internal temperature to rise and could cause fire or other electrical
problems.
5) Readjustment of the White Balance
This unit uses phosphor elements as in a CRT display. Phosphor degrades over time, reducing the brightness. Since,
green and blue phosphor elements degrade faster than red, Pioneer recommends readjusting the white balance every
1000 hours.
