Installation
Considerations
Proper installation of your PD520 will ensure the highest possible picture quality.
Whether you are installing the PD520 temporarily or permanently, you should
take the following into account to ensure that it performs optimally.
Wall-Mounting the PD520 You can either place the PD520 on a table or in an entertainment center, or
mount it on a wall.
If you do decide to wall-mount the PD520, ensure that the wall-mount bracket is
installed according to the instructions included with it. The wall must be
capable of supporting a redundant weight factor three (3) times the weight of
the display, or be reinforced.
Planar recommends that this be done by a custom installation specialist.
Ambient Light In general, minimize or eliminate light sources directed at the display. Contrast
ratio in your images will be noticeably reduced if light directly strikes the display,
such as when a shaft of light from a window or floodlight falls on the image.
Images may then appear washed out and less vibrant.
Other Considerations Other considerations and tips that can help improve your installation:
• Keep the ambient temperature constant and below 35°C (95°F). Keep the
display away from heating and/or air conditioning vents. Changes in
temperature may cause drifts in the display circuitry, which may affect
performance.
• Keep the PD520 away from devices that radiate electromagnetic energy
such as motors and transformers. Common sources of these include slide
projectors, speakers, power amplifiers and elevators.
Use only the Planar-approved wall-mount kit designed for
your display.
