En
In order to obtain maximum enjoyment from this
Pioneer PureVision PDP-505HDG/PDP-435HDG Plasma
Display System, please first read this information
carefully.
With the Pioneer PureVision PDP-505HDG/PDP-
435HDG, 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-505HDG/PDP-435HDG 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
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
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 recom-
mendations 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 a PC image or 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-505HDG/PDP-435HDG
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 acces-
sories 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 pages 16 and 17.
• 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 pos-
sible 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.
Typical effects and characteristics of a phosphor-based
matrix display, e.g., permanent residual images upon
the phosphor of the panel, and the existence of a
minute number of inactive light cells in the screen, are
not covered by local warranties.

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 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 disap-
pear when moving images are displayed. The time for
the after-images to disappear depends on the lumi-
nance 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 42).

03 Operational Precautions
10
En
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 be-
cause 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 equip-
ment may be adversely affected or wireless head-
phones 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 af-
fected. Switch on and run the product occasionally.

Installing the Plasma Display
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.
• Because the Plasma Display is heavy, be sure to have
someone help you when moving it.
• 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.
Using the optional PIONEER speakers
•For details on installation, refer to the instruction
manual provided with the speaker.
Operating Environment
Operating environment temperature and humidity:
+0°C to +40°C; less than 85% RH (cooling vents not
blocked)
Avoid installing in the following locations:
• Under direct exposure to sunlight
• Under strong artificial light
• In high humidity
•Poorly ventilated
Over 50 cm
Over
10 cm
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 or left direction.
When the remote control unit does not func-
tion 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 oper-
ated 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 dis-
tances 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.
