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.

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.

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.

For full-on colour intensity: Thanks to the panel’s Deep Waffle Rib structure, plasma cells are
encapsulated on all sides so that emitted light cannot leak into neighbouring cells, dispersing their
brightness. Images remain at their most intense at all times, offering a level of brightness
unseen before.

NexTView
EPG
Certified ‘HD ready’: Pioneer Plasma TVs process and accurately display high definition signals
from HDTV broadcasting and HD package media like Blue-ray discs, high definition DVD discs and
high definition digital camcorder footage.
Tune into digital developments: With Pioneer’s Digital Multimedia Receiver — including a built-
in digital and analogue tuner — you’ll have full access to free-to-view digital terrestrial TV and
digital radio stations or even pay-to-view channels, by using a Conditional Access Module. Enjoy
a wide range of entertainment, music and other programmes with the highest possible image
and sound quality — including Dolby Digital broadcasting (where available).

Professionally customised calibration: With ISF C
(Custom Calibration Configuration), your plasma
panel can be optimised for your specific environment. Via an optional service, an ISF professional
can precisely calibrate your plasma panel with customised levels of contrast, tint, colour level and
other parameters. Two settings are then created to match your actual viewing and lighting
conditions: one for bright daytime and one for evening.
Next generation viewing today: Take full advantage of the NexTView EPG service provided by
analogue terrestrial broadcast. Plan your watching week by browsing through the 7- day advance
on-screen TV programme list. Decide what to view live and what to record with the REC timer
(in combination with NexTView EPG-compliant recording devices).

A future where image and sound quality come first:
Pioneer’s Pure Digital Home Theatre.
DV-989AVi-SS-V1EX-QLPDP-506XDE
With one-cable HDMI and i.LINK digital connections, audio and video signal data is transferred directly from the source — an audio/video disc — to the A/V receiver, and on to the Plasma TV. A fully
digital, uncompressed signal transfer guarantees utmost sound and image purity.

Digital networking has revolutionised the home entertainment arena … Now Pioneer revolutionises

Freeze live TV with Chase Play.
Now you can experience the ultimate in viewing pleasure & recording convenience! The special
combination of your Plasma TV and ‘Chase Play’ – available on Pioneer’s (HDD) DVD recorders
and systems, means you can freeze live TV and resume watching it later from the exact point
you paused the action. Simply set a programme to record, leave, pop back and watch the
programme from the beginning. You can catch up with the real-time event by fast-forwarding
and skipping through ad breaks, while the programme is still recording, uninterrupted.
TV enjoyment like never before.
The HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) single-cable digital
interface transfers all digital signals — video and even multi-channel
audio — directly from source to display or A/V receiver. There are no conversions or
compressions, so the signal remains untouched. That means no noise, no distortion, true to the
original source.
The i.LINK interface is the very best connection to transfer digital audio between an
A/V receiver and DVD player or DVD recorder. You get untainted audio clarity without
noise or distortion, because the signal remains in the digital domain at all times. Due to
the optimised signal transfer speed, i.LINK is ideal for high-resolution multi-channel audio
formats, like SACD and DVD-Audio. Stereo audio formats are also reproduced as they were
originally intended. Only one cable is needed for this high-fidelity audio experience.
