lmportant User Guidance Information j

In order to obtain maximum enjoyment from this Pioneer PureVision PDP-5050H D/PDP-4350HD/PDP-5045H D/P DP-

4345HD Plasma Display System, please first read this information carefully,

With the Pioneer PureVision PDP-5050HD/PDP-4350HD/PDP- 5045HD/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-5050H D/PDP-4350H D/P DP-5045HD/PDP-4345H D 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 tube4ype 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 stilYmoving image,

• After using the Plasma Display System, always switch the

display to "STANDBY" mode,

Installation guidelines

The Pioneer PureVision PDP-5050HD/PDP-4350HD/PDP-

5045HD/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 bythe use of parts and accessories

manufactured byother 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 leavethe 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,

Important User Guidance Information

,_ CAUTION

Panel sticking and after-image lag

• Displaying tile 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 lumblance 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 tile same image on tile Plasma Display continuously over a long period of time, Ifthe same image is

displayed continuously for several hours, or for shorter periods of time over several (Jays,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),

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,

Cautions regarding batteries

• Tile remote control unit cannot operate the system if tile 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 shorlen 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 shorler life expectancy due to storage conditions,

• Ifyou will not use the remote control unit for an extended period of time, remove the batteries from it,

_k CAUTION

• 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 tile

remote control sensor (_1) 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 (23feet) and the angle

relative to the sensor must be within 30 degrees in the right or left direction,

Remote control

30° 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 shorler 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,
