Bedienungsanleitung

This equipment complies with the requirements of Directives 89/336/EEC and 73/23/EEC as amended by 93/68/ EEC.

The mains lead of this product is fitted with a non-rewireable (moulded) plug incorporating a 13A (Media Receiver)/13A (Plasma Display) fuse. Should the fuse need to be replaced, a BSI or ASTA approved BS 1362 fuse marked or and of the same rating as above, which is also indicated on the pin face of the plug, must be used.

Always refit the fuse cover after replacing the fuse. Never use the plug without the fuse cover fitted.

In the unlikely event of the socket outlet in your home not being compatible with the plug supplied, cut off the mains plug and fit an appropriate type.

DANGER:

The fuse from the cut-off plug should be removed and the cut-off plug destroyed immediately and disposed of in a safe manner.

Under no circumstances should the cut-off plug be inserted elsewhere into a 10A socket outlet, as a serious electric shock may occur.

To fit an appropriate plug to the mains lead, follow the instructions below:

IMPORTANT:

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

Blue: Neutral

Brown: Live

Green & Yellow: Earth

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this product may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

• The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the plug terminal which is marked N or coloured black.
• The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the plug terminal which is marked L or coloured red.
  Ensure that neither the brown nor the blue wire is connected to the earth terminal in your three-pin plug.
  Before replacing the plug cover make sure that:
• If the new fitted plug contains a fuse, its value is the same as that removed from the cut-off plug.
• The cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the mains lead, and not simply over the lead wires.

In order to obtain maximum enjoyment from this Pioneer PureVision PDP-504HDE/PDP-434HDE Plasma Display System, please first read this information carefully.

With the Pioneer PureVision PDP-504HDE/PDP-434HDE, 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-504HDE/PDP-434HDE 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 a long time, please carefully read and follow the usage guidances 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 System's 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).
• Do not display Teletext for a prolonged period of time.
• Avoid viewing the On Screen Display for extended periods, from a decoder, 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 more than 3 times the length of the previous still moving image.
• After using the Plasma Display System, always switch the display to "STANDBY" mode.

Installation guidelines

The Pioneer PureVision PDP-504HDE/PDP-434HDE 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, make sure that the vents on the main unit are not blocked when installing to ensure proper heat emission:

• Distance the unit slightly from other equipment, walls, etc. For the minimum space required around the unit, see pages 15 and 16.
• 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 hazardous occurrences.

Any malfunction may occur due to: an inappropriate installation site, improper assembly, installation, mounting, or operation of this product, modifications made to the product. However, PIONEER cannot be held responsible for such accidents or malfunction.

NOTE

Typical effects and characteristics of a phosphor-based matrix display, e.g., permanent residual images upon the phosphor of the panel, and the existence of a minute number of inactive light cells in the screen, are not covered by local warranties.

CAUTION

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 electrical load

When image patterns with very high peak luminance are displayed for 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 42).

CAUTION

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.

NOTE

• When using the remote control unit, point it at the Plasma Display.

Allowed operation range of the remote control unit

Operate the remote control unit while pointing it toward the remote control sensor (SR) located at the bottom right of the front panel of the Plasma Display. The distance from the remote control sensor must be within 7 m and the angle relative to the sensor must be within 30 degrees in the right, left, upward, or downward direction.

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.

Installing 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 3m .
• Because the Plasma Display is heavy, be sure to have someone help you when moving it.
