01Important User Guidance Information

In order to obtain maximum enjoyment from this Pioneer PureVision PDP-5016HD/PDP-4216HD Plasma Display System, please first read this information carefully.

With the Pioneer PureVision PDP-5016HD/PDP-4216HD, you can be assured of a high quality Plasma Display System with long-life and high reliability. To achieve images of exceptional quality, this Pioneer Plasma Display System incorporates stateof-the-art design and construction, as well as very precise and highly advanced technology.

The Pioneer PureVision PDP-5016HD/PDP-4216HD incorporates the latest in color filter technology - Direct Color Filter. This improves the color/picture reproduction of these models as compared to previous models. It also eliminates the need for a physical glass panel to be placed in front of the plasma panel, which furthers Pioneer’s continued goal of reducing environmental waste in consumer electronics, now during the manufacturing process and in the future during the recycling process.

Over the course of its lifetime, the luminosity of the Pioneer PDP-5016HD/PDP-4216HD Plasma Display System will diminish very slowly, such as with all phosphor-based screens (for example, a traditional tube-type television). To enjoy beautiful and bright images on your Pioneer Plasma Display System for many years to come, please carefully read and follow the usage guidelines below.

Usage guidelines

All phosphor-based screens (including conventional tube-type televisions) can be affected by displaying static images for a prolonged period. Plasma Display Systems are no exception to this rule. After-image and permanent effects on the screen can be avoided by taking some basic precautions. By following the recommendations listed below, you can ensure longer and satisfactory results from your plasma:

• Whenever possible, avoid frequently displaying the same image or virtually still moving pictures (e.g. closed-captioned images or video game images which have static portions).

• Avoid viewing the On Screen Display for extended periods, from a DVD player, VCR, and all other components.

• Do not leave the same picture freeze-framed or paused continuously over a long period of time, when using the still picture mode from a TV, VCR, DVD player or any other component.

• Images which have both very bright areas and very dark areas side by side should not be displayed for a prolonged period of time.

• When playing a game, the “Game” mode setting within “AV Selection” is strongly recommended. However, please limit its use to less than 2 hours at a time.

•After playing a game, or any still image, it is best to view a normal moving picture in the “Wide” or “Full” screen setting for over 3 times longer than the previous still/moving image.

•After using the Plasma Display System, always switch the display to “STANDBY” mode.

• Extensive viewing of content with top, bottom, or side masks may cause uneven wear. After viewing masked content, view full screen motion video for an equal or greater amount of time.

Installation guidelines

The Pioneer PureVision PDP-5016HD/PDP-4216HD Plasma Display System incorporates a very thin design. To ensure safety, please take the proper measures to mount or install the Plasma Display, in order to prevent the unit from tipping over in the event of vibration or accidental movement.

This product should be installed by using only parts and accessories designed by PIONEER. Use of accessories other than the PIONEER installation bracket may result in instability, and could cause injury. For custom installation, please consult the dealer where the unit was purchased. To ensure correct installation, experienced and qualified experts must install the unit. PIONEER will not be held responsible for accident or damage caused by the use of parts and accessories manufactured by other companies.

To avoid malfunction and overheating when installing, make sure that the vents on the main unit are not blocked. To ensure proper heat emission:

• Distance the unit slightly from other equipment, walls, etc. For the minimum space required around the unit, see page

14.

• Do not fit the unit inside narrow spaces where ventilation is poor.

• Do not cover with a cloth, etc.

• Clean the vents on the sides and rear of the unit to remove dust build-up by using a vacuum cleaner set to its lowest suction setting.

• Do not place the product on a carpet or blanket.

• Do not reverse the product.

Using the unit without proper ventilation may cause the internal temperature to rise, and could result in possible malfunction. When the surrounding or internal temperature exceeds a certain degree, the display will automatically power off in order to cool the internal electronics and prevent a hazardous occurrence.

Malfunction can be caused by many factors: inappropriate installation site, improper assembly/installation/mounting, improper operation of or modifications made to this product. However, PIONEER cannot be held responsible for accidents or malfunction caused by the above.

The following are typical effects and characteristics of a phosphor-based matrix display and as such, are not covered by the manufacturer’s limited warranties:

•Permanent residual images upon the phosphors of the panel.

• The existence of a minute number of inactive light cells.

•Panel generated sounds, examples: Fan motor noise, and electrical circuit humming/glass panel buzzing.

01 Important User Guidance Information

Condensation

• Condensation may take place on the surface or inside of the PIONEER bears no responsibility for any damages arising from incorrect use of the product by you or other people, malfunctions when in use, other product related problems, and use of the product except in cases where the company must be liable.

Information of pixel defect

Plasma screens display information using pixels. Pioneer plasma display panels contain a very large number of pixels. (Depending on the panel size; over 2.3 million pixels in case of a 42 inch display, over 3.1 million pixels in case of a 50 inch display). All Pioneer display panels are manufactured using a very high level of ultra-precision technology and undergo individual quality control. In rare cases, some pixels can be permanently switched off, or on, resulting in either a black or colored pixel permanently fixed on the screen. This effect is common to all plasma displays because it is a consequence of the technology. If the defective pixels are visible at a normal viewing distance of between 2.5 meters and 3.5 meters (8.2 feet and 11.5 feet) while viewing a normal broadcast (i.e. not a test card, still image or single color display) please contact Pioneer Customer Support Div. (USA) or Customer Satisfaction Dept. (CANADA). See back cover for contact information. If, however, they can only be seen close up or during single color displays then this is considered normal for this technology.

Infrared rays

The Plasma Display releases infrared rays because of its characteristics. Depending on how the Plasma Display is in use, the remote controls of nearby equipment may be adversely affected or wireless headphones using infrared rays are interfered by noise. If this is the case, place that equipment at a location where its remote control sensor is not affected.

Radio interference

While this product meets the required specifications, it emits a small amount of noise. If you place such equipment as an AM radio, personal computer, and VCR close to this product, that equipment may be interfered. If this happens, place that equipment far enough from this product.

Plasma Display driving sound

The screen of the Plasma Display is composed of extremely fine pixels and these pixels emit light according to received video signals. This principle may make you hear buzz sound or electrical circuit hamming from the Plasma Display.

Also note that the rotation speed of the cooling fan motor increases when the ambient temperature of the product becomes high. You may hear the sound of the fan motor at that time.

01Important User Guidance Information

Image Retention

When a static image is left frozen on a display for several hours, a faint imprint of the image, known as image retention, can remain. This image retention may be temporary or permanent. Although caused by different things, image retention can occur on all display technologies, including plasma and LCD. On today’s plasma displays, permanent image retention is less of a worry. Most image retention can be improved simply by watching moving video.

Image retention, also known as burn-in, can occur in all phosphor-based display systems (including CRT television systems - both direct view and projection - as well as plasma display systems). Displaying the same still images for long periods should be avoided as permanent image retention or burn-in may occur. Recommended guidelines are as follows:

• Do not display static images for long periods (such as still images, fixed images from PC or TV game equipment, and/or fixed images such as time of day indicator or channel logo display).

• Do not display content in the 4:3 aspect ratio (black or gray bars on left and right side of content) or letter-box content (black bars above and below content) for extended periods of time, or use either of these viewing modes repeatedly within a short period of time. This plasma display system is equipped with multiple wide-screen viewing modes; use one of these screen modes to fill the entire screen with content.

• Displaying dark images after displaying still images for a period of time may cause image retention. In most cases, the image retention can be corrected by displaying bright images for a similar period of time. If you display still images on your plasma display system for long periods of time, image retention may be irreparable.

Preventing damage from screen burning

• Please show images in full screen unless doing so causes copyright infringement. See page 35.

• The Screen Saver function can be set to help prevent screen burn-in. See page 36.

DO NOT PLACE THIS PRODUCT ON AN UNSTABLE CART, STAND, TRIPOD, BRACKET, OR TABLE. THE PRODUCT MAY FALL, CAUSING SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY AND SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THE PRODUCT. USE ONLY WITH A CART, STAND, TRIPOD, BRACKET, OR TABLE RECOMMENDED BY THE MANUFACTURER, OR SOLD WITH THE PRODUCT. FOLLOW THE MANUFACTURE’S INSTRUCTIONS WHEN INSTALLING THE PRODUCT AND USE MOUNTING ACCESSORIES RECOMMENDED BY THE MANUFACTURER.

A PRODUCT AND CART COMBINATION SHOULD BE MOVED WITH THE CARE. QUICK STOPS, EXCESSIVE FORCE, AND UNEVEN SURFACES MAY CAUSE THE PRODUCT AND CART COMBINATION TO OVERTURN.

English

Panel sticking and after-image lag

• Displaying the same images such as still images for a long time may cause after-image lagging. This may occur in the following two cases.

1. After-image lagging due to remaining electric

load

When image patterns with very high peak luminance are displayed more than 1 minute, after-image lagging may occur due to the remaining electric load. The after-images remaining on the screen will disappear when moving images are displayed. The time for the after-images to disappear depends on the luminance of the still images and the time they had been displayed.

2. After-image (lag image) due to burning

Avoid displaying the same image on the Plasma Display continuously over a long period of time. If the same image is displayed continuously for several hours, or for shorter periods of time over several days, a permanent after-image may remain on the screen due to burning of the fluorescent materials. Such images may become less noticeable if moving images are later displayed, but they will not disappear completely.

cm (3 inches)

Locating

• Avoid direct sunlight. Maintain adequate ventilation.

• Because the Plasma Display is heavy, be sure to have someone help you when moving it.

Preventing the Plasma Display from Falling Over

Be sure to take special care to ensure that the Plasma Display will not fall over.

Using a wall for stabilization

Attach the supplied falling prevention bolts (hooks) to the

Plasma Display. Use strong cords to stabilize the Plasma Display

appropriately and firmly to a wall, pillar, or other sturdy element.

•Perform this work in the same way for both the left and right sides.

• Use hooks, cords and fittings that are available on the market.

1 Hook

2 Cord

3 Fitting

• If you place anything on the top of the Plasma Display it will not receive enough ventilation and will not operate properly.

• Allow enough space around the upper and back parts when installing to ensure ventilation around the backside.

Operating Environment

Operating environment temperature and humidity: +0 °C to +40 °C (+32 °F to +104 °F); less than 80 % RH (cooling vents not blocked)

Avoid installing at the following locations:

• Under direct exposure to sunlight

• Under strong artificial light

• In high humidity

•Poorly ventilated

•A table or an area of the floor with adequate strength should always be used to support the Plasma Display. Failure to do so could result in personal injury and physical damage.

• When installing the Plasma Display, please take the necessary safety measures to prevent it from falling or overturning in case of emergencies, such as earthquakes, or of accidents.

• If you do not take these precautions, the Plasma Display could fall down and cause injury.

• The screws, hooks and other fittings that you use to secure the Plasma Display to prevent it from overturning will vary according to the composition and thickness of the surface to which it will be attached.

• Select the appropriate screws, hooks and other fittings after first inspecting the surface carefully to determine its thickness and composition and after consulting a professional installer if necessary.

Cautions regarding batteries

• The remote control unit cannot operate the system if the batteries in the unit are empty. When this happens, replace the batteries with new ones.

• When you replace the batteries, use alkaline ones.

• 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.

• Do not leave dead batteries in the remote control unit; chemical leakage will occur. 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, BE SURE TO COMPLY WITH GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS AND ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION GUIDELINES THAT APPLY IN YOUR COUNTRY OR AREA.

Allowed operation range of the remote control unit

Operate the remote control unit while pointing it toward the remote control sensor located at the bottom left of the front panel of the Plasma Display. The distance from the remote control sensor must be within 7 m (23 feet) and the angle relative to the sensor must be within 30 degrees in the right or left direction.

Cautions regarding the remote control unit

• Do not expose the remote control unit to shock, liquid, or high humidity.

• Do not place the remote control unit under direct sunlight; the unit may deform.

• The remote control unit may not work properly if the remote sensor window of the Plasma Display is under direct sunlight or strong lighting. In such case, change the angle of the lighting or Plasma Display, or operate the remote control unit closer to the remote sensor window.

• 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 weak, the remote control unit can function within a shorter distance from the remote control sensor. Replace the batteries with new ones if necessary.

• The Plasma Display emits very weak infrared rays from its screen. If you place such equipment operated through infrared remote control as a VCR nearby, that equipment may not receive commands from its remote control unit properly or entirely. If this is the case, place that equipment at a location far enough from the Plasma Display.

• Depending on the installation environment, infrared rays from the Plasma Display may not allow this system to properly receive commands from the remote control unit or may shorten allowable distances between the remote control unit and the remote control sensor. The strength of infrared rays emitted from the screen differs, depending on images displayed on the screen.

• The location of the remote control sensor for the PDP5016HD is the same as with the PDP-4216HD.
