01 Important User Guidance Information
In order to obtain maximum enjoyment from this Pioneer
PureVision PDP-5050HD/PDP-4350HD/PDP-5045HD/PDP4345HD Plasma Display System, please first read this
information carefully.
With the Pioneer PureVision PDP-5050HD/PDP-4350HD/PDP5045HD/PDP-4345HD, 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-5050HD/PDP-4350HD/PDP-5045HD/PDP-4345HD 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 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-5050HD/PDP-4350HD/PDP5045HD/PDP-4345HD 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
15 to 16.
• 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.
6
En
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 43).

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.
The fan motor keeps running until the power cord of the Media
Receiver is removed from a wall outlet.
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

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.
• Do not use manganese batteries. 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 (
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.

30°
Remote control
sensor
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.
