01 Important User Guidance Information English 5 En In order to obtain maximum enjoyment from this P ioneer P ureV ision PDP -42A3HD/PDP -4214HD Plasma Display System, please first read this information carefully . W ith the P ioneer PureVision PDP -42A3HD/PDP -4214HD, you can be assured of a high quality Plasma Display System with long-life and high reliability . T o 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 P ioneer PDP -42A3HD/PDP -4214HD Plasma Display System will diminish ver y slowly , such as with all phosphor-based screens (for example, a traditional tube-type television). T o enjoy beautiful and bright images on your P ioneer 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 satisfactor y 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 ver y bright areas and ver y 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. •A f ter playing a game, 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. •A f ter using the Plasma Display System, always switch the display to “ST ANDBY” mode. Installation guidelines The P ioneer PureV ision PDP -42A3HD/PDP -4214HD Plasma Display System incorporates a very thin design. T o 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 installation bracket may result in instability , and could cause injur y . For custom installation , please consult the dealer where the unit was purchased. T o 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 manufac- tured by other companies. To avoid malfunction and overheating when installing, make sure that the vents on the main unit are not blocked. T o ensure proper heat emission: • Distance the unit slightly from other equipment, walls, etc. F or the minimum space required around the unit, see page 14. • 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 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. The following are typical effects and characteristics of a phosphor-based matrix display and as such, are not covered by the manufacturer ’s limited warranties: •P ermanent residual images upon the phosphors of the panel. • The existence of a minute number of inactive light cells. •P anel generated sounds, examples: F an motor noise, and electrical circuit humming / glass panel buzzing 01 Important User Guidance Information 04-PDP42A3HD-Eng (05-10) 05.4.20, 4:30 PM 5
01 Important User Guidance Information 6 En PIONEER bears no responsibility for any damages arising from incorrect use of the product by you or other people, malfunc- tions when in use, other product related problems, and use of the product except in cases where the company must be liable. Information of pix el defect Plasma Display displays images consisting of hundreds of thousands of minute pixels (light emitting cells), and there is a possibility of inactive, flashing or continually illuminated pixels. 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. R adio interfer ence 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. 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 make you hear buzz sound electrical circuit hamming from the Plasma Display . Also note that the rotation speed of the cooling fan motor increases when the ambient temperature of the product becomes high. Y ou may hear the sound of the fan motor at that time. 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.

01 Important User Guidance Information English 7 En P anel 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 r emaining electric load When image patterns with ver y high peak luminance are displayed more than 1 minute, after-image lagging may occur due to the remaining electric load. The after-images remaining on the screen will disappear when moving images are dis- played. The time for the after-images to disappear depends on the luminance of the still images and the time they had been displayed. 2. After-image (lag image) due to bur ning 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 Auto Power Off function can be set to help prevent damage from screen burning (see page 38).

In such case, change the angle of the lighting or Plasma Display , or operate the remote control unit closer to the remote sensor window . • 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 . R eplace the batteries with new ones if necessary. • The Plasma Display emits ver y 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.

11 Appendix 44 En The video program that you watch may be high definition (HD) or standard definition (SD). This Plasma Display is designed to scale to each type of definition properly . If the video program’s definition type changes while a menu window is displayed on the scr een (for example: HD →SD or SD →HD), the menu size may temporarily shrink or enlarge until the scaling is completed. This may happen, for example, when you switch between television and an external digital video recorder (D- VHS), or when your recorded program switches between different definition types, while the on-screen menu is being shown. 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 . 12-PDP42A3HD-Eng (43-46) 05.4.20, 4:32 PM 44
