01 Important User Guidance Information
In order to obtain maximum enjoyment from this Pioneer PureVision PDP-436SXE Plasma Display System, please first read this information carefully.
With the Pioneer PureVision PDP-436SXE, 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.
The Pioneer PureVision PDP-436SXE incorporates the latest in colour filter technology – Direct Colour Filter. This improves the colour / 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-436SXE 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 a long time, please carefully read and follow the usage guidances 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 System’s 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 decoder, 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 any still image, it is best to view a normal moving picture in the “WIDE” or “FULL” screen setting for more than 3 times the length of the previous still moving image.
•After using the Plasma Display System, always switch the display to “STANDBY” mode.
Installation guidelines
The Pioneer PureVision PDP-436SXE 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, make sure that the vents on the main unit are not blocked when installing 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 hazardous occurrences.
Any malfunction may occur due to: an inappropriate installation site, improper assembly, installation, mounting, or operation of this product, modifications made to the product. However, PIONEER cannot be held responsible for such accidents or malfunction.
NOTE
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

CAUTION
PIONEER bears no responsibility for any damage 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.
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 cells in case of a 43 inch display, over 2.9 million pixels in case of a 50 inch display, over 3.1 million cells in case of a 61 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 coloured 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 and 3.5 meters whilst viewing a normal broadcast (i.e. not a test card, still image or single colour display) please contact the supplying dealer.
If, however, they can only be seen close up or during single colour 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 Plasma Display becomes high. You may hear the sound of the fan motor at that time.
Do not attach such items as labels and tape to the product.
• This may result in the discolouration or scratch of the |

01 Important User Guidance Information
CAUTION
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.
1After-image lagging due to remaining electrical load
When image patterns with very high peak luminance are displayed for 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.
2After-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 32).
CAUTION
•The compatibility of this product with digital terrestrial services has been fixed - details described in the product specifications - at the time of its introduction.

Preventing the Plasma Display from |
|
|
Falling Over |
After installing the stand, be sure to take special care to ensure that the Plasma Display will not fall over.
Stabilizing on a table or floor
Stabilize the Plasma Display as shown in the diagram using
screws that are available on the market.
Over 50 cm
NOTE
To stabilize the Plasma Display on a table or on the floor, use screws that have a nominal diameter of 6 mm and that are at least 20 mm long.
Over 10 cm
Location
•Avoid direct sunlight. Maintain adequate ventilation.
•Because the Plasma Display is heavy, be sure to have someone help you when moving it.
CAUTION
•If you do not leave sufficient space above the Plasma Display, it will not receive enough ventilation and will not operate properly.
NOTE
•Allow enough space around the upper and back parts when installing to ensure adequate ventilation of the rear of the unit.
Using the optional PIONEER stand
For details on installation, refer to the instruction manual supplied with the stand.
CAUTION
Operating Environment
Operating environment temperature and humidity:
+0 ºC – +40 ºC; less than 85 %RH (cooling vents not blocked) Do not install this unit in a poorly ventilated area, or in locations exposed to high humidity or direct sunlight (or strong artificial light)
CAUTION
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, chains 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, chains, and other fittings after first inspecting the surface carefully to determine its thickness and composition and after consulting a professional installer if necessary.

05 Preparation
Connecting to an antenna
To enjoy a clearer picture, use an outdoor antenna. The following is a brief explanation of the types of connections that are used for a coaxial cable.
• For viewing both analogue and digital broadcasts, connect the antenna cable to the ANT OUT terminal (antenna through out) and ANT (analogue input) terminal.
• If “Aerial Power” setting is enabled, use an indoor antenna with signal amplifier, 5V 30mA.
Standard DIN45325 plug (IEC169-2)
75-ohm coaxial cable (round cable) (commercially available)
• For viewing analogue broadcasts only, connect the 75-ohm coaxial cable (commercially available) to ANT (analogue input) terminal.
Antenna cable (commercially available)
If your outdoor antenna uses a 75-ohm coaxial cable with a standard DIN45325 plug (IEC169-2), plug it into the antenna terminal at the rear of the Plasma Display.
NOTE
•If the antenna is not connected correctly, the quality of reception may be impaired. If images are not displaying correctly, check whether the antenna connection is correct or not.

Preparing the remote control unit
Inserting batteries
1 Open the battery cover.
2Load the supplied two AA size batteries while inserting their respective negative polarity (–) ends first.
Allowed operation range of the remote control unit
Operate the remote control unit while pointing it toward the remote control sensor (t) located at the bottom right of the front panel of the Plasma Display. The distance from the remote control sensor must be within 7 m and the angle relative to the sensor must be within 30 degrees in the right, left, upward, or downward direction.
English
•Place batteries with their terminals corresponding to the
(+) and (–) indicators in the battery compartment.
3 Close the battery cover.

Cautions regarding batteries
Improper use of batteries can result in chemical leakage or explosion. Be sure to follow the instructions below.
•When you replace the batteries, use manganese or alkaline ones.
•Place the batteries with their terminals corresponding to the
(+) and (–) indicators.
•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.
•Remove batteries as soon as they have worn out. Chemicals that leak from batteries can cause a rash. 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.
CAUTION
•WHEN DISPOSING OF USED BATTERIES, PLEASE COMPLY WITH GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS OR ENVIRONMENTAL PUBLIC INSTRUCTION’S RULES THAT APPLY IN YOUR COUNTRY/AREA.
Cautions regarding the remote control unit
•Do not expose the remote control unit to shock. In addition, do not expose the remote control unit to liquids, and do not place in an area with high humidity.
•Do not install or place the remote control unit under direct sunlight. The heat may cause deformation of the unit.
•The remote control unit may not work properly if the remote control sensor 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 control sensor.
•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.
