In order to obtain maximum enjoyment from this Pioneer
PureVision PDP-42RXE Plasma Display System, please first
read this information carefully.
With the Pioneer PureVision PDP-42RXE, 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 state-of-the-art design and
construction, as well as very precise and highly advanced
technology.
Over the course of its lifetime, the luminosity of the Pioneer
PDP-42RXE 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).
• Do not display Teletext for a prolonged period of time.
• 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.
Installation guidelines
The Pioneer PureVision PDP-42RXE 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 leave the product tilted over.
• 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

Information of pixel defect
Plasma Display systems display images consisting of hundreds
of thousands of minute pixels (light emitting cells), and there is
a possibility of inactive, flashing or continually illuminated
pixels.
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 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
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.
• The Auto Power Off function can be set to help prevent
damage from screen burning (see page 34).

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 empty, 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.
