Important User Guidance Information

in order to obtain maximum enjoyment from this Pioneer PureVision PDP-5030HD/PDP-4330HD Plasma Display System, please first read

this information carefully With the Pioneer PureVision PDP-5030HD/PDP-4330HD, 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. On a total of nearly 3 million light cells, more than 99999 percent

of the cells remain active. Over the course of its lifetime, the luminosity of the Pioneer PDP-5030HD/PDP-4330HD 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 aftected by displaying static images for a prolonged period Plasma Display Systems are no exception to this rule Atter-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 (eg. closed-captioned images or video game images which have static portions)

• Avoid viewing the On Screen Display for extended periods, from a Digital tuner, 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 "STAND BY" mode.

Installation guidelines

The Pioneer PureVision PDP-5030HD/PDP-4330HD 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 net 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, wails, etc. more than 10 cm(3 WldnCh)

• 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.

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 ceils in the screen are not covered by local warranties.

About the Plasma Panel's protection function

The brightness of this display will deteriorate slightly when an image with little movement such as a photograph or computer image is continuously displayed. This is caused by the Plasma Panel's protection function which detects images with slight movement and automatically adjusts brightness to protect the display, and is not a malfunction

This function begins operating when the display detects no or little screen movement for a period of about three minutes.

Panel sticking and after-image lag

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

1. After-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 afterdmages remaining on the screen will disappear when moving images are displayed. The time for the atterdmages 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 pedod 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 32-33).

Setting MTS/SAP stereo mode

The Plasma Display System has a feature that allows reception of sound other than the main audio for the

program. This feature is called Multi-channel Television Sound(MTS). The Plasma Display System with MTS can receive mono sound, stereo sound and Secondary Audio Programs (SAP). The SAP feature allows a TV station

to broadcast other information, witch could be audio in another language or something completely different like weather information.

You can enjoy Hi-Fi stereo sound or SAP broadcasts where available.

• Stereo broadcasts View programs like live sporting events, shows and concerts in dynamic stereo sound.

• SAP broadcasts

Receive TV broadcasts in either MAIN or SAP sound. MAIN sound: The normal program soundtrack (either in mono or stereo).

SAP sound: Listen to second language, supplementary commentary and other information. (SAP is mono sound.)

If stereo sound is difficult to hear.

• Obtain a clearer sound by manually switching to fixed mono_sound mode.

• Once "MONQ" mode is selected, the Plasma Display System sound remains mono even if the System receives a stereo

broadcast. You must switch the mode back to "STEREO" if you want to hear stereo sound again.

• Selecting MTS while inthe input mode does not change the type of sound. In this case, sound is determined by the video source.
