01 Important User Guidance Information
In order to obtain maximum enjoyment from this Pioneer
PureVision PDP-5040HD/PDP-4340HD Plasma Display
System, please first read this information carefully.
With the Pioneer PureVision PDP-5040HD/PDP-4340HD,
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-5040HD/PDP-4340HD Plasma Display
System will diminish very slowly, such as with all
phosphor-based screens (for example, a traditional tubetype 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 tubetype 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 displaying a PC image 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-5040HD/PDP-4340HD
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 stand or 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 pages 17 and 18.
• 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 except the case of
vertical installation of the Media Receiver.
• 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.
Typical effects and characteristics of a phosphor-based
matrix display such as permanent residual images upon
the phosphors of the panel and the existence of a minute
number of inactive light cells in the screen are not covered
by local warranties.

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 Energy save function can be set to help prevent
damage from screen burning (see page 54).

Operational Precautions
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.
Plasma Display protection function
When still images (such as photos and computer images)
stay on the screen for an extended period of time, the
screen will be slightly dimmed. This is because the protection function of the Plasma Display automatically adjusts the brightness to protect the screen when detecting
still images; so this does not designate malfunction. The
screen is dimmed when a still image is detected for about
three minutes.
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.
Fan motor noise
When ambient temperature of the Media Receiver becomes high, the rotation speed of the cooling fan motor
increases. This may make you feel that the fan motor is
noisy at such an occasion.
Do not attach such items as labels and tape to the
product.
• This may result in the discoloration or scratch of the
cabinet.
When not using the product for a long period of time
• If you do not use the product for a long period of time,
the functions of the product may be adversely affected.
Switch on and run the product occasionally.
Condensation
• Condensation may take place on the surface or inside
of the product when the product is rapidly moved from
a cold place to a warm place or just after a heater is
switched on in winter morning, for example. When condensation takes place, do not switch on the product
and wait until condensation disappears. Using the product with condensation may result in malfunction.
Cleaning the screen
• When cleaning the screen of this product, gently wipe
it with a dry soft cloth; the supplied cleaning cloth or
other similar cloths (e.g., cotton and flannel). If you use
a hard cloth or rub the screen hard, the surface of the
screen will be scratched.
• If you clean the surface of the screen with a wet cloth,
water droplets on the surface may enter into the product, resulting in malfunction.
Cleaning the cabinet
• The cabinet of this product is mostly composed of plastic. Do not use chemicals such as benzine or thinner to
clean the cabinet. Using these chemicals may result in
quality deterioration or coating removal.
• Do not expose the product to volatile gas or fluid such
as pesticide. Do not make the product contact with rubber or vinyl products for a long period of time. The effect of plasticizer in the plastic may result in quality
deterioration or coating removal.
• If you clean the surface of the cabinet with a wet cloth,
water droplets on the surface may enter into the product, resulting in malfunction.
Handles at the rear of the Plasma Display
• Do not remove the handles from the rear of the
Plasma Display.
• When moving the Plasma Display, ask another
person for help and use the handles attached to the
rear of the Plasma Display. Do not move the Plasma
Display by holding only a single handle. Use the
handles as shown.
• Do not use the handles to hang the product when
installing or carrying the product, for example. Do not
use the handles for the purpose of preventing the

Locating
• Avoid direct sunlight. Maintain adequate ventilation.
• The length of the system cable used to connect the
Plasma Display and the Media Receiver is about 3 m
(118 inches).
• Because the Plasma Display is heavy, be sure to have
someone help you when moving it.
English
When the remote control unit does not function properly
• 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 early enough.
• 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.
• If you place anything on the top of the Media Receiver
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.
Using the optional PIONEER stand
•For details on installation, refer to the instruction
manual provided with the stand.
• This product may be used only with model PDK-TS04
stand, use with other stands may result in instability
causing possible injury.
