Over the course of its lifetime, the luminosity of the Pioneer
PDP-42RXE 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 many years
to come, please carefully read and follow the 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
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 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
• Images which have both very bright areas and very dark
areas side by side should not be displayed for a prolonged
• 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 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

batteries have different characteristics.
• Do not mix old and new batteries. Mixing old and new
batteries can shorten the life of new batteries or cause
chemical leakage in old batteries.
• Do not leave dead batteries in the remote control unit;
chemical leakage will occur. If you find any chemical leakage,
wipe thoroughly with a cloth.
• The batteries supplied with this product may have a shorter
life expectancy due to storage conditions.
• If you will not use the remote control unit for an extended
period of time, remove the batteries from it.
• WHEN DISPOSING OF USED BATTERIES, PLEASE COMPLY WITH GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS OR ENVIRONMENTAL PUBLIC INSTRUCTION’S RULES THAT APPLY IN YOUR COUNTRY/AREA.
Allowed operation range of the remote control
Operate the remote control unit while pointing it toward the
remote control sensor located at the bottom centre 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 or left direction. 30°Remote control sensor 7 m 30° 06-PDP42RXE-Eng (14-17) 9/30/05, 12:16 PM1505 Preparation
Cautions regarding the remote control unit
• Do not expose the remote control unit to shock, liquid, or
• Do not place the remote control unit under direct sunlight;
the unit may deform.
• The remote control unit may not work properly if the remote
sensor window of the Plasma Display is under direct sunlight
or strong lighting. 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
• 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 if necessary.
• 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.
Connecting to an antenna
To enjoy a clearer picture, use an outdoor antenna. The follow-
ing is a brief explanation of the types of connections that are
used for a coaxial cable.
