High Definition Plasma by Pioneer.

When depth invites you to dive right in ...

It is time to see … more details. Time to be amazed. Time to discover possibilities beyond your

imagination.

Enter a revolutionary world of audio and visual entertainment with Pioneer’s 6th generation

Plasma TVs: the PURE Vision Black series. Certified 'HD ready', these Plasma TVs accurately

display signals from a wide variety of high definition sources. You’ll also enjoy digital TV and radio

thanks to the digital multimedia receiver.

Images are portrayed with outstanding depth and dimension, made possible by unique Pioneer

technologies, such as the PUREBLACK Crystal Layer — black tone reproduction is truly

remarkable. Picture quality is further enhanced by PURE Drive 2

HD

digital video processing,

incorporating the latest developments to optimise every visual on the plasma panel. Images are

clearer, smoother, sharper and more realistic than ever before.

It is time to see … the difference.

When black plunges to the darkest depths ...

For a tremendous advancement in black tone reproduction: Pioneer’s unique PUREBLACK Crystal

Layer reproduces an entire colour palette right before your eyes. This Crystal Emissive Layer

enhances sharpness and contrast in darker picture areas — like in shadowy and night scenes —

and reproduces a wider range of black tones, up to the purest black. Further advantages: it boosts

overall brightness and contributes to energy efficiency.

Colour

Adjustment

For bold colour reproduction: Enjoy minimum reflection and maximum colour with Pioneer’s

unique Direct Colour Filter, a film-type filter which is attached directly onto the front of the

plasma panel. It significantly reduces reflection from outside light as well as reflection from the

panel itself. This helps to improve contrast in bright environments.

For natural colour transitions: Pioneer’s quest for image perfection has resulted in i-CLEAR Drive.

This intelligent technology analyses pictures and then automatically optimises colour gradation

and brightness levels on-screen. New multi-bit processing increases the range of gradation levels,

so more colours can be reproduced. Darker picture areas are especially enhanced so there is even

more detail to discover.

For vivid and realistic colours: With colour adjustment settings, you can easily adapt the colour to

your own taste. White tones can be fine-tuned with the Colour Temperature setting, resulting in

an optimal white balance. Colour Management allows you to individually adjust a colour without

affecting adjacent colours. Digital CTI (Colour Transient Improvement) brings the edges of

coloured images into sharp relief, so pictures are clear and distinct.

When sharpness brings out every last detail ...

Noise

Reduction

For clear, noise-free images: Digital Noise Reduction minimises picture noise, reproducing

images true to the original. MPEG Noise Reduction reduces mosquito noise without losing detail,

useful when viewing DVDs or digital TV channels. When watching analogue TV, Tuner Noise

Reduction automatically adapts the noise reduction level to the signal strength. 3D Y/C

Separation filter for PAL TV optimally separates the brightness (Y) and colour (C), so no colour

artefacts occur. The result is drastically improved picture quality, without disturbing noise.

For a smooth picture reproduction: Dynamic HD Converter scans the 84 surrounding pixels, then

optimises each pixel individually. The effect: pictures are clearer, sharper and smoother.

For sharp and rich-in-contrast pictures: Active Dynamic Range Expander is at work behind the

scenes to enhance light and dark areas. After making a dynamic analysis of the complete image,

smart technologies continuously adjust the picture according to its characteristics. You will notice

a marked improvement in the contrast and a sharper presentation — with more details in dark

picture areas.
