In order to obtain maximum enjoyment from this Pioneer
PureVision PRO-1540HD/PRO-1140HD/PRO-940HD Plasma
Display Panel, please first read this information carefully.
With the Pioneer PureVision PRO-1540HD/PRO-1140HD/PRO940HD, 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 state-of-the-art design and construction as well
as precise and highly advanced technology.
The Pioneer PureVision PRO-1540HD/PRO-1140HD/PRO940HD 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-1540HD/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-1540HD/PRO-1140HD/PRO940HD 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
20.
• 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, a 50" panel has over 3.1
million pixels and a 60" panel 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.
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 20.
• 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.
Do not attach such items as labels and tape to the
product.
• Labels and tape can mar or discolor the cabinet.

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 time o f day ind icator o r 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 65.
• The Energy save function can be set to help prevent screen
burn-in. See page 63.

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.
To add an outdoor antenna for clearer pictures, connect an
antenna to the ANT B IN terminal. 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.

• Use alkaline batteries rather than manganese batteries.
• Do not mix battery brands. Different brands 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. Dead
batteries leak chemicals. If you find any chemical leakage,
wipe thoroughly with a clean 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.
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 to shock, liquid, or high
humidity.
• Do not place the remote control unit under direct sunlight,
the unit may deform.
• The remote control may not work properly if the panel’s
remote sensor window is under direct sunlight or strong
room lighting. If the remote control fails to function in a
bright environment, try changing the signal angle or move
closer to the panel.
• Objects placed between the remote control and the panel
sensor may block the signal.
• As the batteries become weak, the remote control may need
to be used closer to the panel. Replace the batteries with
new ones if necessary.
• The Plasma Display emits very weak infrared rays from its
screen. Other nearby equipment using an infrared remote
control such as a VCR may receive scrambled or incomplete
commands from its remote control. In this situation, move
the equipment away from the Plasma Display.
• Depending on the environment, infrared rays from the
Plasma Display may corrupt signals sent by the remote
control. These IR waves could also require that the remote
control be used closer to the panel. The strength of infrared
rays emitted from the screen differs, depending on the
image being displayed.
