PDP5040HD-Eng (04-05) 5 7/24/03, 1:57 PM

01 Important User Guidance Information

In order to obtain maximum enjoyment from this Pioneer

PureVision PDP-5040HD/PDP-4340HD Plasma Display

System, please first read this information carefully.

With the Pioneer PureVision PDP-5040HD/PDP-4340HD, 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 PDP-5040HD/PDP-4340HD Plasma Display

System will diminish very slowly, such as with all phosphor-based screens (for example, a traditional tubetype 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 tubetype 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 PDP-5040HD/PDP-4340HD

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.

Important User Guidance Information

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 after-images remaining on the screen will disappear when moving images are displayed. 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 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 54).

About operations through i.LINK

03 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.

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.

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 use a hard cloth or rub the screen hard, the surface of the screen will be scratched.

• If you clean the surface of the screen with a wet cloth, water droplets on the surface may enter into the product, resulting in malfunction.

Cleaning the cabinet

• The cabinet of this product is mostly composed of plastic. Do not use chemicals such as benzine or thinner to clean the cabinet. Using these chemicals may result in quality deterioration or coating removal.

• Do not expose the product to volatile gas or fluid such as pesticide. Do not make the product contact with rubber or vinyl products for a long period of time. The effect of plasticizer in the plastic may result in quality deterioration or coating removal.

• 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.

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.

• Do not use the handles to hang the product when installing or carrying the product, for example. Do not use the handles for the purpose of preventing the product from tilting over.

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.

Using the optional PIONEER stand

• For details on installation, refer to the instruction manual provided with the stand.

• This product may be used only with model PDK-TS04 stand, use with other stands may result in instability causing possible injury.

Using the optional PIONEER speakers

• For details on installation, refer to the instruction manual provided with the speaker.

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, supplementary 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.

STEREO mode SAP mode MONO mode

Watching a D-VHS image

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.

What can be recorded through i.LINK?

With D-VHS recorders connected to this system through i.LINK, you can record only digital TV programs. You cannot record conventional TV channels nor contents coming from external input sources and personal computers.

Connecting D-VHS recorders

Use the i.LINK terminals when connecting D-VHS recorders.

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.

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.

G

Children: Intended for younger children under the age of 8 years. Pays careful attention to themes that could threaten their sense of security and well-being.

Children over 8 years old: Contains no portrayal of violence as the preferred, acceptable, or only way to resolve conflict; nor encourage children to imitate dangerous acts which they may see on the screen.

General: Considered acceptable for all age groups. Appropriate viewing for the entire family, contains very little violence, physical, verbal or emotional.

Age-Base PG

14+

18+

Parental Guidance: Intended for a general audience, but may not be suitable for younger children (under the age of 8) because it could contain controversial themes or issues.

Over 14 Years: Could contain themes where violence is one of the dominant elements of the storyline, but it must be integral to the development of plot or character. Language usage could be profane and nudity present within the context of the theme.

Adults: Intended for viewers 18 years and older and might contain depictions of violence, which while related to the development of plot, character or themes, are intended for adult viewing. Could contain graphic language and portrayals of sex and nudity.

• Blocking a low rated program will cause all higher rated programs to be blocked.
