01Important User Guidance Information
In order to obtain maximum enjoyment from this
Pioneer PureVision PRO-1110HD/PRO-910HD Plasma
Display System, please first read this information
carefully.
With the Pioneer PureVision PRO-1110HD/PRO-910HD,
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 PRO-1110HD/PRO-910HD 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.
Installation guidelines
The Pioneer PureVision PRO-1110HD/PRO-910HD
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 pages 17 and 18.
• 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
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.
Typical effects and characteristics of a phosphor-based
matrix display such as permanent residual images
upon the phosphors of the panel and the existence of a
minute number of inactive light cells in the screen are
not covered by local warranties.

PDP-ELITE-Eng (06-12)9/9/03, 11:436
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 afterimages remaining on the screen will disappear when
moving images are displayed. The time for the afterimages 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.
• The Energy save function can be set to help prevent
damage from screen burning (see page 55).

Operational Precautions
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 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.
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 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.
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 in winter morning, for example.
When condensation takes place, do not switch on the
product and wait until condensation disappears.
Using the product with condensation may result in
malfunction.
Cleaning the screen
• When cleaning the screen of this product, gently
wipe it with a dry soft cloth; the supplied cleaning
cloth or other similar cloths (e.g., cotton and flannel).

• 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.
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 affected. Switch on and run the product occasionally.
Handles at the rear of 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
(118 inches).
• Because the Plasma Display is heavy, be sure to have
someone help you when moving it.
When the remote control unit does not function 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 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.
• 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.

Setting MTS/SAP mode
The Plasma Display System has a feature that allows
reception of sound other than the main audio for the
program. This feature is called Multi-channel Television
Sound (MTS). The Plasma Display System with MTS
can receive mono sound, stereo sound and Secondary
Audio Programs (SAP). The SAP feature allows a TV
station to broadcast other information, which could be
audio in another language or something completely
different like weather information.
You can enjoy Hi-Fi stereo sound or SAP
broadcasts where available.
•Stereo broadcasts
View programs like live sporting events, shows and
concerts in dynamic stereo sound.
• SAP broadcasts
Receive TV broadcasts in either MAIN or SAP sound.
MAIN sound: The normal program soundtrack (either
in mono or stereo).
SAP sound: Listen to second language, supplemen-
tary commentary and other information. (SAP is
mono sound.)
If stereo sound is difficult to hear:
• Obtain a clearer sound by manually switching to the
MONO mode.
• Once the MONO mode is selected, the Plasma
Display System sound remains mono even if the
system receives a stereo broadcast. You must
reselect the STEREO mode if you want to hear stereo
sound again.
• Selecting MTS while the input source is INPUT 1 to 4
or PC does not change the type of sound. In this
case, sound is determined by the video source.
Each time you press MTS, MTS toggles as shown
below.

Priority rules for overlapped
presettings
When preset TV programs are overlapped, the following
three rules are used to determine a higher priority. If
more than one of the three rules are met, the rules are
applied in the order; 1, 2, then 3.
Rule 1: Presetting for recording is given a higher
priority over presetting for auto channel
select.
Presetting for recording
Presetting for auto
channel select
The shaded area is not executed.
Rule 2: If two presettings are overlapped, presetting
with earlier start time is given a higher
priority. If two presettings are sequential, the
last portion of the first program is not recorded for 15 seconds because recording of
the second program is started at the exact
start time.
Program A
Program B
• If the schedule of the selected program is overlapped
with another presetting, “Overlap” appears in the Info
field. Presettigs with “Overlap” may not be partially or
entirely executed.
• When entering into the schedule table, pressing
ENTER causes the cursor to jump to an empty field.
•Presetting becomes ineffective if the start time and
the end time are identical or if presetting operations
are performed within two minutes before the start of
the program.
•Presettings made using the EPG are automatically
shown in the schedule table.
•For presetting made using the EPG, “E” appears
beside the channel number in the schedule table. If
you alter the presetting content, “E” disappears.
•For priorities about overlapped presettings, see
“Priority rules for overlapped presettings” on page 63.
• If you switch off the system using the POWER
button, the program presetting will become
ineffective. Be careful not to switch off the power.
The shaded area is not executed.
Rule 3: If presettings at the same start time are
overlapped, presetting with a smaller list
number is given a higher priority.

What is i.LINK?
i.LINK is a digital serial interface for handling digital
video, digital audio, and other data in two directions.
i.LINK is Sony’s term for the IEEE 1394 data transport
bus. Digital AV equipment compatible with i.LINK can
be connected using a single i.LINK cable. The i.LINK
interface allows this PDP system to control one of up to
two i.LINK compatible devices (in connection) that can
be identified.
Which i.LINK devices are connectable?
For i.LINK devices, this system supports only D-VHS
recorders. The i.LINK terminals on this system cannot
be connected with other equipment such as DVD
recorders, digital video cameras, personal computers,
and PC peripheral devices because of differences in the
specifications.

Useful and important notification
Useful information
•D-VHS recorders connected through i.LINK can play
back digital TV programs recorded using this system.
•D-VHS recorders connected through i.LINK can
record only digital TV programs. Using i.LINK, those
recorders cannot record conventional TV channels
nor contents coming from external input sources.
• This system can be simultaneously connected with
up to two D-VHS recorders that support i.LINK. You
can control one of these D-VHS recorders (basic
functions only).
• Some D-VHS recorders connected through i.LINK
may not allow this system to control through the
control panel screen or to display images and output
sound.
•To record digital TV programs using connected D-VHS
recorders, use D-VHS tape. You cannot use VHS tape
nor S-VHS tape.
• Some D-VHS recorders connected though i.LINK may
not allow this system to play back images and sound
recorded on VHS tape, S-VHS tape, or (if with analog
signals) D-VHS tape. If this is the case, connect the
analog output terminals on the D-VHS recorder to
INPUT 1, 2, 3, or 4 terminals on this system. See
pages 65 to 67.
• This system supports the Digital Transmission Content Protection (DTCP) technology. The DTCP is a
copy protection technology that presents data coding
and device authentification.
• i.LINK may not allow copy-restricted video, audio, and
other data to be copied from one i.LINK device to
another. It also may not allow video, audio, and other
data to be transferred with equipment that does not
support the DTCP.

En
Precautions
• While one D-VHS recorder connected through i.LINK
is recording or playing back, do not switch on or off
the other connected D-VHS recorder (not in use) or
do not connect or disconnect the i.LINK cable from
that D-VHS recorder. Doing so can result in image
and sound interruption.
• Some D-VHS recorders that support i.LINK cannot
relay data when their power is off. Check the user’s
manual for your D-VHS recorder. This system allows
you to change the setting for data relay in the standby
mode. See “Setting up for i.LINK standby” on page
76.

Parental Control
(setting the V-CHIP level)
The V-CHIP is an electronic filtering device built into
your system. This tool gives parents a great degree of
control over broadcasts accessed by their children. It
allows parents to select programs judged suitable for
child viewing while blocking ones judged not suitable.
It does so automatically once you activate the V-CHIP
feature in your Plasma Display.
This tool functions for both conventional and digital TV
channels.
• The U.S. has two rating systems for viewing content:
TV Parental Guidelines and movie ratings.
• The TV Parental Guidelines work in conjunction with
the V-CHIP to help parents screen out inappropriate
television shows from their children.
• Movie ratings are used for original movies rated by
the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) as
watched on cable TV and not edited for television. The
V-CHIP can also be set to block MPAA-rated movies.

Canadian rating systems
• The TV rating systems in Canada are based on the
Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications
Commission (CRTC) policy on violence in television
programming.
• While violence is the most important content element
to be rated, the structure developed takes into consideration other program content like language, nudity,
sexuality and mature themes.
• When setting the V-CHIP on the Canadian system you
can chose either the Canadian English ratings or the
Canadian French ratings.
