Important User Guidance Information

In order to obtain maximum enjoyment from this Pioneer PureVision PRO-1140HD/PRO-940HD Plasma Display Panel, please first read this information carefully.

With the Pioneer PureVision PRO-1140HD/PRO-940HD, you can be assured of a high quality Plasma Display Panel with long-life and high reliability. To achieve images of exceptional quality, this Pioneer Plasma Display Panel incorporates stateof-the-art design and construction as well as precise and highly advanced technology.

The Pioneer PureVision PRO-1140HD/PRO-940HD incorporates the latest in color filter technology – Direct Color Filter. This filter technology improves color reproduction over previous models. It also eliminates the need for a glass panel to be layered in front of the plasma panel. This feature which furthers Pioneer’s goal of reducing environmental waste in consumer electronics, during the manufacturing process and in the future during the recycling process.

Over the course of its lifetime, the luminosity of the Pioneer PRO-1140HD/PRO-940HD Plasma Display System will diminish very slowly, which happens to all phosphor-based screens (for example, a traditional tube-type television). To enjoy beautiful and bright images on your Pioneer Plasma Display Panel 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 static images appearing 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.

• Whenever possible, avoid showing the same image or lowmotion pictures (e.g. closed-captioned images or video game images which have static portions).

• Avoid viewing the On Screen Display (OSD) for extended periods (from a DVD player, VCR, and all other components).

• Do not leave the same picture, freeze-framed or paused continuously, shown 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 video game, the “GAME” mode setting within “AV Selection” is strongly recommended. However, please do not use this mode for long periods of time.

• After playing a game, 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 was shown.

• After using the Plasma Display System, always switch the display to Standby.

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

Installation guidelines

The Pioneer PureVision PRO-1140HD/PRO-940HD Plasma Display Panel incorporates a very thin design. To ensure safety, please take the proper measures when mounting or installing the Plasma Display. Prevent the unit from tipping over during vibration or accidental movement.

This product should be installed by using only parts and accessories designed by PIONEER. Use of installation or mounting accessories other than PIONEER-approved stands or brackets 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 is not responsible for accident or damage caused by the use of parts and/or accessories manufactured by other unauthorized companies.

To avoid malfunction and overheating when installing, make sure that the vents on the main unit are not blocked. To ensure proper venting:

• Distance the unit slightly from other equipment, walls, etc. For the minimum space required around the unit, see page

18.

• Do not place the unit inside a narrow place 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. Use a vacuum cleaner set to its lowest suction setting to clear dust.

• Do not place the product on a carpet or blanket.

• Do not leave the product tilted at an angle without proper anchoring.

• 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 automatically powers OFF in order to cool the internal electronics.

Malfunction can be caused by many factors: inappropriate installation site, improper assembly/installation/mounting, improper operation of or modifications made to this product, etc. PIONEER is not responsible for accidents or malfunction caused by the above situations.

NOTE

The following points 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 panel’s phosphors.

• Existence of a small number of inactive light cells.

• Panel generated sounds (Fan motor noise, electrical circuit humming, glass panel buzzing, etc.)

Important User Guidance Information

CAUTION

PIONEER bears no responsibility for any damage arising from incorrect use of the product 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 slightly dims. This function automatically adjusts the brightness to protect the screen when a still image is detected. The screen is dimmed for approximately three minutes.

Information of pixel defect

Plasma screens display information using pixels. Pioneer plasma display panels contain a very large number of pixels. (A 42" panel has over 2.3 million pixels and a 50" panel has over 3.1 million pixels). All Pioneer plasma panels are manufactured using a very high level of ultra-precision technology and undergo individual quality control.

In rare cases, one or more pixels may remain switched Off or On. A pixel that remains Off appears as a tiny black dot on the screen while an active pixel appears as a dot of a particular color.

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 for contact information.

If, however, the fixed pixel(s) can only be seen from a distance of less than 8 feet or during single color displays then the appearance is considered normal for plasma technology.

Infrared rays

The Plasma Display releases infrared rays because of the panel characteristics. Surrounding equipment with remote controls and wireless headphones using infrared signals can experience interference. Move any affected equipment to a location away from the plasma panel.

Radio interference

While this product meets required specifications, the panel emits a small amount of electronic noise. This noise can affect radio, computer, and VCR reception. Move devices away from the panel to reduce or eliminate interference.

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.

• Labels and tape can mar or discolor the cabinet.

When not using the product for a long time

• If you do not use the product for a long time, the functions of the product may be adversely affected. Switch ON and run the product occasionally to maintain quality.

Condensation

• Condensation may take place on the surface or inside of the panel when the unit is rapidly moved from a cold place to a warm place or when a heater is turned On in the room. When condensation occurs, do not switch On the panel until condensation disappears. Operating the panel when there is condensation can damage the unit.

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 with the supplied cleaning cloth or a similar cloth (e.g., cotton, flannel, etc.). Using a dirty or course material cloth can scratch and damage the panel’s surfaces.

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

Cleaning the cabinet

• When cleaning other panel surfaces, gently wipe with a clean soft cloth (e.g., cotton, flannel, etc.). Using a dirty or course material cloth can scratch and damage the panel’s surfaces.

• 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 can strip the surface coating or cause cabinet deterioration.

• Do not expose the product to a volatile gas or fluid such as pesticide. Do not apply rubber or vinyl products to the cabinet for long periods of time. The effect of plasticizer on the cabinet can strip the surface coating or cause deterioration.

• If you clean the surface of the cabinet with a wet cloth, water droplets may enter into the product, resulting in a 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 18.

• Do not use the handles to hang, suspend, or anchor the panel.

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.

Page 9

Important User Guidance Information

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 either HD or SD signals. 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 complete. For example, switching between a TV program and an external digital video recorder (D-VHS) while viewing a menu can cause the menu window size to fluctuate.

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 Panel.

Image Retention

When a static image is shown 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 a motion video sequence.

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). To avoid image retention or burn-in, do not show a still image for an extended period. Recommended guidelines are as follows:

• Do not display static images such as still images, fixed images from PC or TV game equipment, and/or fixed images su ch as tim e of day i ndicato r or channel logo display for long periods.

• 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 showing a still image for an extended time may cause image retention. In most cases, the image retention can be corrected by displaying bright images for a similar period of time.

Warning: Displaying a still image on the panel for a long period of time can cause the image to be burned in to the screen permanently.

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 for more than one(1) minute, after-image lagging may occur due to the remaining electrical load. The afterimages remaining on the screen disappears when moving images are shown. The time for the after-images to disappear depends on the luminance of the still image and the length of time 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 but 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 do 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 screen off to prevent damage from screen burning.

• To prevent screen burning, the display position is automatically changed slightly when the power is switched on or the input changed. Depending on the broadcast content, some parts of the picture may not be visible.

Preventing damage from screen burning

• Please show images in full screen unless doing so causes copyright infringement. See page 63.

• The Energy save function can be set to help prevent screen burn-in. See page 61.

CAUTION

Enjoying the Home Media Gallery

With Home Media Gallery, you can enjoy digital content such as movies, music and photo files. These files can be saved on one or more media servers connected by a home network (LAN) or from content stored on USB devices. After connecting via an Ethernet hub to a media server with network software*, you can navigate through the server’s digital content using the Plasma Display. For USB interface, the Plasma Display supports Mass Storage Class devices.

* Referred to as a “media server” that contains digital content

such as movies, music and photo files. PCs that have preinstalled media server software and recorders with a media server function are considered the media server. Use PCs that have a Windows Media Connect (WMC) server or DLNA compliant server for the Home Media Gallery function.

Take a Windows Media Connect (WMC) server for example: Microsoft Media Server is freeware and works with any music jukebox-type software, although is optimized for Windows Media Player.

Installing Windows Media Connect

Before installing Windows Media Connect, make sure that Windows XP SP2 and other required software are installed. See Microsoft Website for details regarding minimum system requirements and installation procedures.

1 Download the most recent version of Windows Media

Player

This can be downloaded either directly from the Microsoft Website, or using the Windows Update Installer.

2 Download the most recent Windows Media Connect

software

This can be downloaded either directly from the Microsoft Website, or using the Windows Update Installer.

Supported file formats

The table below shows supported file formats that can be played back or displayed on the Plasma Display. These formats are applicable to both network and USB sources. However, media server content protected by digital rights management, such as WMDRM10 (Digital Rights Management for Windows Media 10), may not play on the Plasma Display.

Type of files Format

Movie MPEG PS (mpg, mpeg, mpe, m2p), MPEG-2 TS/TTS,

WMV (asf, wmv), MPEG4 (mp4)

Music MP3 (mp3), LPCM, WAV (wav), WMA (asf, wma)

Photo JPEG (jpg, jpeg), BMP (bmp), PNG (png), TIFF (tif, tiff),

GIF (gif)

• Some formats may not be supported depending on the

server type or version used.

NOTE

• Content may not play or display properly depending on the conditions of use.

• Sources for this panel include media servers that support DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) and Windows Media Connect (WMC) running on the LAN network, or SD Card, MS, MMC, xD Picture and CF that comply with the Mass Storage File System through a USB interface.

• Supported formats and contents are subject to change. Visit the Pioneer website for updated information: http://www.pioneerelectronics.com

• The Home Media Gallery functions as a WMDRM10-ND (Microsoft Windows Media DRM for networked devices). Content can only be navigated from the media servers that support WMDRM10-ND.

• The system may not be able to display content from incompatible memory cards.

• You cannot use the Home Media Gallery until dimmed elements on the menu screen turn white.

Digital Audio Output terminal (Optical)

NOTE

• When using the optical output terminal for networked audio or video: If the Plasma Display and audio system are in the same room, you may experience an audio delay between the plasma speakers and the audio system. Try muting the speakers on the Plasma Display to correct this delay. However, this action may cause delays between audio and video.
