Important User Guidance Information

Chapter 1

Important User Guidance Information

In order to obtain maximum enjoyment from this Pioneer PRO150FD/PRO-110FD plasma display, please first read this information carefully.

With the Pioneer PRO-150FD/PRO-110FD, you can be assured of a high quality plasma display with long-life and high reliability. To achieve images of exceptional quality, this Pioneer plasma display incorporates state-of-the-art design and construction, as well as very precise and highly advanced technology.

The Pioneer PRO-150FD/PRO-110FD 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 PRO150FD/PRO-110FD plasma display 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 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 displays 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 two 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 three times longer than the previous still/moving image.

• After using the plasma display, 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 PRO-150FD/PRO-110FD plasma display 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, inadequate installation or stabilization, erroneous operation, remodeling or natural disasters.

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 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.

• 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

Important

• Under certain conditions, Parental Control functions of this product may NOT control Audio/Video input from external devices connected to this product. To avoid unintended display of inappropriate materials, please consult each external device’s manual to set up its Parental Control features.

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 3.1 million pixels for a 50 inch/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 heate r is swit che d on on a w inter 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 17.

• 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.

To use this product for a long period of time

• Energy Save maintains efficiency of the screen for a long period of time by decreasing picture brightness and lowering power consumption. Setting Energy Save to “Mode 1” is recommended for increased efficiency.

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.

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 displays). 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 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 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 one 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.

• To minimize image retention, the display position is automatically changed imperceptibly when watching plasma display. Some parts of the picture may not be visible (see Orbiter on page 70).

Minimizing damage from screen burning

• Set the Side Mask detection function to “On”. The High Definition 16:9 aspect ratio images containing side masks will be detected automatically and side masks will be added or the image displayed in full screen.

• We recommend that you enjoy watching images displayed in full screen, except when doing so may result in copyright infringement. The use of images displayed in screen sizes different from the original video for financial gain or in broadcasting for public viewing may result in infringement of the legally enforceable rights of the copyright holder (see page 68).

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 heat- generating products (including amplifiers).

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.

Inserting the CableCARD™

The plasma display is equipped with a slot for inserting a CableCARD™. When you are watching digital and/or High Definition TV channels over cable, the card allows you to use the POD service provided by the cable TV company; the POD stands for Point of Deployment. This service presents various types of useful information, using HTML text.

1 Confirm that the ANT/CABLE A IN terminal has been

connected with the coaxial cable from the Cable Converter.

2 Hold and push the tab of the slot cover on the rear of

the plasma display leftward, and remove the cover while pulling the tab’s latch downward.

Note

• Be sure to connect coaxial cables as shown above. Signal reception may fail if not properly connected.

• In order to watch cable TV channels, be sure to connect the cable to the ANT/CABLE A IN terminal.

• The ANT/CABLE A IN and ANT B IN terminals must not receive the same signals. For example, do not connect a cable from a cable TV to both the ANT/CABLE A IN and ANT B IN terminals. Similarly, do not connect a cable from an antenna to both the ANT/CABLE A IN and ANT B IN terminals.

• TV Guide may not be available in all areas and is not available with satellite systems. In addition, as content providers move to digital programming and broadcasting, TV Guide Data may be unavailable or become unavailable.

3 Insert the specified CableCARD™ into the Cable CARD

slot as far as it goes.

Note

• Be sure to insert only the specified CableCARD™.

• Do not insert a PC card.

• When you use a CableCARD™, you need not execute Auto Channel Preset; the CableCARD™ automatically generates a cable channel list.
