Important User Guidance Information

In order to obtain maximum enjoyment from this Pioneer PureVision PDP-6072HD/PDP-5072HD/PDP-4272HD/PDP6071HD/PDP-5071HD/PDP-4271HD/PDP-6070HD/PDP5070HD/PDP-4270HD Plasma Display System, please first read this information carefully.

With the Pioneer PureVision PDP-6072HD/PDP-5072HD/PDP4272HD/PDP-6071HD/PDP-5071HD/PDP-4271HD/PDP6070HD/PDP-5070HD/PDP-4270HD, 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-6072HD/PDP-5072HD/PDP4272HD/PDP-6071HD/PDP-5071HD/PDP-4271HD/PDP6070HD/PDP-5070HD/PDP-4270HD incorporates the latest in color filter technology – Direct Color Filter. This improves the color / 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-6072HD/PDP-5072HD/PDP-4272HD/PDP-6071HD/PDP5071HD/PDP-4271HD/PDP-6070HD/PDP-5070HD/PDP4270HD 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.

• Extensive viewing of content with top, bottom, or side masks may cause uneven wear. After viewing masked content, it is recommended to view full screen motion video for an equal or greater amount of time.

Installation guidelines

The Pioneer PureVision PDP-6072HD/PDP-5072HD/PDP4272HD/PDP-6071HD/PDP-5071HD/PDP-4271HD/PDP6070HD/PDP-5070HD/PDP-4270HD 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 page

20.

• 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 invert 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.

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

English

Important User Guidance Information

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 pixels in case of a 42 inch display, over 3.1 million pixels in case of a 50 inch display and over 3.1 million pixels in case of a 60 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 colored 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 (8.2 and 11.5 feet) while viewing a normal broadcast (i.e. not a test card, still image or single color display) please contact Pioneer Customer Support Div. (USA) or Customer Satisfaction Dept. (CANADA). See back cover.

If, however, they can only be seen close up or during single color 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 with 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 cause you to hear a buzz or electrical hum coming from the Plasma Display.

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 to a warm place or just after a heater is switched on on a winter morning, for example. When condensation takes place, do not switch on the product until condensation disappears. Using the product with condensation may result in malfunction.

Cleaning the surface of the screen and the glossy surface of the front cabinet

• When cleaning the surface of the screen or the glossy surface of the front cabinet, gently wipe it with a dry soft cloth; the supplied cleaning cloth or other similar cloths (e.g., cotton and flannel). If you use a dusty or hard cloth or if you rub the screen hard, the surface of the product will be scratched.

• If you clean the surface of the screen with a wet cloth, water droplets on the surface may enter into the product, resulting in malfunction.

Cleaning the cabinet

• When cleaning the cabinet of this product, gently wipe it with a clean soft cloth (e.g., cotton and flannel). If you use a dusty or hard cloth or if you rub the cabinet hard, the surface of the cabinet will be scratched.

• The cabinet of this product is mostly composed of plastic. Do not use chemicals such as benzene or thinner to clean the cabinet. Using these chemicals may result in quality deterioration or coating removal.

• Do not expose the product to volatile gas or fluid such as pesticide. Do not bring the product in contact with rubber or vinyl products for a long period of time. The effect of plasticizer in the plastic may result in quality deterioration or coating removal.

• If you clean the surface of the cabinet with a wet cloth, water droplets on the surface may enter into the product, resulting in malfunction.

Handles at the rear of the Plasma Display

• Do not remove the handles from the rear of the Plasma Display.

• When moving the Plasma Display, ask another person for help and use the handles attached to the rear of the Plasma Display. Do not move the Plasma Display by holding only a single handle. Use the handles as shown on page 20.

• Do not use the handles to hang the product when installing or carrying the product, for example. Do not use the handles for the purpose of preventing the product from tilting over.

Important User Guidance Information

Fan motor noise

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.

About the menu window size following video format switch

The video program that you watch may be high definition (HD) or standard definition (SD). This Plasma Display is designed to scale to each type of definition properly. If the video program’s definition type changes while a menu window is displayed on the screen (for example: HD → SD or SD → HD), the menu size may temporarily shrink or enlarge until the scaling is completed. This may happen, for example, when you switch between television and an external digital video recorder (D-VHS), or when your recorded program switches between different definition types, while the on-screen menu is being shown.

If this happens, the menu will return to its normal size after two to three seconds. This action is normal, and does not indicate a problem with your Plasma Display system.

Image Retention

When a static image is left frozen on a display for several hours, a faint imprint of the image, known as image retention, can remain. This image retention may be temporary or permanent. Although caused by different things, image retention can occur on all display technologies, including plasma and LCD. On today’s plasma displays, permanent image retention is less of a worry. Most image retention can be improved simply by watching moving video.

Image retention, also known as burn-in, can occur in all phosphor-based display systems (including CRT television systems–both direct view and projection–as well as plasma display systems). Displaying the same still images for long periods should be avoided as permanent image retention or burn-in may occur. Recommended guidelines are as follows:

Do not display static images for long periods (such as still images, fixed images from PC or TV game equipment, and/or fixed images such as time of day indicator or channel logo display).

Do not display content in the 4:3 aspect ratio (black or gray bars on left and right side of content) or letter-box content (black bars above and below content) for extended periods of time, or use either of these viewing modes repeatedly within a short period of time. This plasma display system is equipped with multiple wide-screen viewing modes; use one of these screen modes to fill the entire screen with content.

Displaying dark images after displaying still images for a period of time may cause image retention. In most cases, the image retention can be corrected by displaying bright images for a similar period of time.

If you display still images on your plasma display system for long periods of time, image retention may be irreparable.

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.

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.

NOTE

• When a program menu, TV Guide screen or frozen image is

displayed for 5 to 10 minutes, the system automatically turns the image off to prevent damage from screen burning.

Preventing damage from screen burning

• It is recommended that you enjoy watching images

displayed in full screen, except when doing so may result in copyright infringement. See page 69.

• The Energy save function can be set to help prevent damage

from screen burning. See page 67.

In order to prevent potential danger, please observe the following instructions when installing, operating and cleaning the product. To ensure your safety and prolong the service life of your product, please read the following precautions carefully before using the product.

1. Read instructions—All operating instructions must be read and understood before the product is operated.

2. Keep this manual in a safe place—These safety and operating instructions must be kept in a safe place for future reference.

3. Observe warnings—All warnings on the product and in the instructions must be observed closely.

4. Follow instructions—All operating instructions must be followed.

5. Cleaning—Unplug the power cord from the AC outlet before cleaning the product. To clean the product, use the supplied cleaning cloth or other soft cloth (e.g., cotton, flannel). Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.

6. Attachments—Do not use attachments not recommended by the manufacturer. Use of inadequate attachments can result in accidents.

7. Water and moisture—Do not use the product near water, such as bathtub, washbasin, kitchen sink and laundry tub, swimming pool and in a wet basement.

8. Stand—Do not place the product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod or table. Placing the product on an unstable base can cause the product to fall, resulting in serious personal injuries as well as damage to the product.

Use only the mounting hardware recommended by the manufacturer.

9. When relocating the product placed on a cart, it must be moved with utmost care. Sudden stops, excessive force and uneven floor surface can cause the product to fall from the cart.

10. Ventilation—The vents and other openings in the cabinet are designed for ventilation. Do not cover or block these vents and openings since insufficient ventilation can cause overheating and/or shorten the life of the product. Do not place the product on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface, since they can block ventilation openings. This product is not designed for built-in installation; do not place the product in an enclosed place such as a bookcase or rack, unless proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer’s instructions are followed.

11. Power source—This product must operate on a power source specified on the specification label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply used in your home, consult your dealer or local power company.

12. Power cord protection—The power cords must be routed properly to prevent people from stepping on them or objects from resting on them. Check the cords at the plugs

and product.

13. The plasma Display used in this product is made of glass. Therefore, it can break when the product is dropped or applied with impact. Be careful not to be injured by broken glass pieces in case the plasma Display breaks.

14. Overloading—Do not overload AC outlets or extension cords. Overloading can cause fire or electric shock.

15. Entering of objects and liquids—Never insert an object into the product through vents or openings. High voltage flows in the product, and inserting an object can cause electric shock and/or short internal parts. For the same reason, do not spill water or liquid on the product.

16. Servicing—Do not attempt to service the product yourself. Removing covers can expose you to high voltage and other dangerous conditions. Request a qualified service person to perform servicing.

17. Repair—If any of the following conditions occurs, unplug the power cord from the AC outlet, and request a qualified service person to perform repairs.

a. When the power cord or plug is damaged. b. When a liquid was spilled on the product or when

objects have fallen into the product. c. When the product has been exposed to rain or water. d. When the product has been dropped or damaged. e. When the product displays an abnormal condition. Any

noticeable abnormality in the product indicates that the

product needs servicing.

18. Replacement parts—In case the product needs replacement parts, make sure that the service person uses replacement parts specified by the manufacturer, or those with the same characteristics and performance as the original parts. Use of unauthorized parts can result in fire, electric shock and/or other danger.

19. Safety checks—Upon completion of service or repair work, request the service technician to perform safety checks to ensure that the product is in proper operating condition.

20. Wall or ceiling mounting—When mounting the product on a wall or ceiling, be sure to install the product according to the method recommended by the manufacturer.

21. Heat sources—Keep the product away from heat sources such as radiators, heaters, stoves and other heatgenerating products (including amplifiers).

22. Unplug the power cord from the AC outlet before installing the speakers (for PDP-6072HD/PDP-5072HD/PDP6071HD/PDP-5071HD/PDP-6070HD/PDP-5070HD only).

23. Never expose the screen of the Plasma Display to a strong impact, for example, by hitting it. The screen may be broken, resulting in fire or personal injury.

24. Do not expose the Plasma Display to direct sunlight for a long period of time. The optical characteristics of the front protection panel changes, resulting in discoloration or warp.

25. The Plasma Display weighs about 51.5 kg (113.6 lbs.) for the PDP-6072HD/PDP-6071HD/PDP-6070HD, about 41.7 kg (92 lbs.) for the PDP-5072HD/PDP-5071HD/PDP-5070HD (including the stand and speaker) and about 31.5 kg (69.5 lbs.) for the PDP-4272HD/PDP-4271HD/PDP-4270HD (including the stand). Because it has small depth and is unstable, unpack, carry, and install the product with one more person at least and use the handles.

CAUTION

• If you want to move the Plasma Display unit, make sure that

you remove the speaker first. In addition, do not move the display holding on to the mounting fittings. This can result in injury or damage to the unit.

About the speaker

• In order to prevent damage to the speaker system resulting

from input overload, please observe the following precautions:

• Do not use the speaker with anything other than the Plasma Display. Doing so may result in damage or fire.

• Be sure to turn the connected devices off and remove the power cord from the power outlet beforehand when changing the connection or installation method.

• When using a tone control function to greatly emphasize treble sounds, do not use excessive amplifier volume.

• Please handle the speaker with sufficient care, as the grille net and the cabinet can become damaged or broken when they are subjected to strong external impacts.

• Placing a CRT computer screen or CRT monitor near to the speaker may result in interference or color distortion. If this happens, distance the monitor from the speaker.

Installation

• The speaker is wide, and may become unstable when installed by a one person alone. This may result in injury or product damage. Therefore, at least two people must assemble and install it.

• When installing the speaker, do not use any screws other than those supplied, otherwise the speaker may come off from the main unit and fall over.

• When installing the speaker, tighten the screws firmly.

• Be sure to turn the connected devices off and remove the power cord from the power outlet beforehand when changing the connection or installation method.

NOTE

• Before installing the speaker, make sure that the PIONEER table top stand is attached to the Plasma Display.

Cable connections for watching digital and/or conventional TV channels

This system is equipped with two terminals for inputting TV broadcasting signals: ANT/CABLE A IN and ANT B IN. The ANT/CABLE A IN terminal accepts both digital and conventional TV broadcasting signals while the ANT B IN terminal accepts only conventional TV broadcasting signals. When using cable TV to watch digital and/or conventional TV channels, connect to the ANT/CABLE A IN terminal as shown. In addition, you may connect an antenna to the ANT B IN terminal as shown; use an outdoor antenna to enjoy clearer pictures. If your outdoor antenna uses a 75-ohm coaxial cable with an F-type connector, plug it into the antenna terminal at the rear of the Plasma Display.

NOTE

As with the simplified remote control unit, the method for inserting batteries is the same except the type of batteries (two AAA size).

Cautions regarding batteries

• The remote control unit cannot operate the system if the batteries in the unit are weak. When this happens, replace the batteries with new ones.

• When you replace the batteries, use alkaline batteries for the main remote control unit and manganese batteries for the simplified remote control unit.

• 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.

Battery disposal

When disposing of used batteries, please comply with governmental regulations or environmental public institution’s rules that apply in your country/area.

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 weak, 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.
