In order to obtain maximum enjoyment from this Pioneer

PureVision PDP-507XA/PDP-427XA Plasma Television, please

first read this information carefully.

With the Pioneer PureVision PDP-507XA/PDP-427XA, you can

be assured of a high quality Plasma Television with long-life

and high reliability. To achieve images of exceptional quality,

this Pioneer Plasma Television incorporates state-of-the-art

design and construction, as well as very precise and highly

advanced technology.

The Pioneer PureVision PDP-507XA/PDP-427XA incorporates

the latest in colour filter technology

Direct Colour Filter. This

improves the colour/picture reproduction of these models as

compared to previous models. It also eliminates the need for a

physical glass panel to be placed in front of the Plasma

Display, which furthers Pioneer’s continued goal of reducing

environmental waste in consumer electronics, now during the

manufacturing process and in the future during the recycling

Over the course of its lifetime, the luminosity of the Pioneer

PDP-507XA/PDP-427XA Plasma Television 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 Television for a long time,

please carefully read and follow the usage guidances below:

All phosphor-based screens (including conventional tube-type

televisions) can be affected by displaying static images for a

prolonged period. Plasma Televisions 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 Television:

• 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

• Images which have both very bright areas and very dark

areas side by side should not be displayed for a prolonged

• When playing a video game, the “GAME” mode setting within

“AV Selection” is strongly recommended. However, please

do not use this mode for long periods of 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 Television, always switch the display

The Pioneer PureVision PDP-507XA/PDP-427XA Plasma

Television incorporates a very thin design. To ensure safety,

please take the proper measures to mount or install the

Plasma Television, 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

• Do not fit the unit inside narrow spaces where ventilation is

• 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

• Do not place the product on a carpet or blanket.

• Do not leave the product tilted over.

• 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 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:

• Permanent residual images upon the phosphors of the

• The existence of a minute number of inactive light cells.

• Panel generated sounds, examples: Fan motor noise, and

electrical circuit humming/glass panel buzzing

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

Plasma Television 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 Television 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.

Information of pixel defect

Plasma screens display information using pixels. Pioneer

plasma display panels contain a very large number of pixels.

(Depending on the panel size; over 2.3 million cells in case of a

42 inch display, over 3.1 million pixels in case of a 50 inch

display.) All Pioneer display panels are manufactured using a

very high level of ultra-precision technology and undergo

individual quality control.

In rare cases, some pixels can be permanently switched off, or

on, resulting in either a black or coloured pixel permanently

fixed on the screen.

This effect is common to all plasma displays because it is a

consequence of the technology.

If the defective pixels are visible at a normal viewing distance

of between 2.5 and 3.5 meters whilst viewing a normal

broadcast (i.e. not a test card, still image or single colour

display) please contact the supplying dealer.

If, however, they can only be seen close up or during single

colour displays then this is considered normal for this

The Plasma Television releases infrared rays because of its

characteristics. Depending on how the Plasma Television 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.

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 Television driving sound

The screen of the Plasma Television is composed of extremely

fine pixels and these pixels emit light according to received

video signals. This principle may make you hear buzz sound or

electrical circuit hamming from the Plasma Television.

The rotation speed of the cooling fan motor increases when the

ambient temperature of the Plasma Television becomes high.

You may hear the sound of the fan motor at that time.

Do not attach such items as labels and tape to the

Important User Guidance Information

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

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 a long period, 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.

• To prevent screen burning, the display position is

automatically changed slightly when the power is switched

on or the input changed. Depending on the broadcast

content, some parts of the picture may not be visible.

Preventing damage from screen burning

• It is recommended that you enjoy watching images

displayed in full screen, except when doing so may result in

copyright infringement. See page 39.

• The Energy save function can be set to help prevent damage

from screen burning. See page 35.

If you want to dispose this product, do not mix it with general household waste. There is a separate collection system for used electronic products in accordance with legislation that requires proper treatment, recovery and recycling. Private households in the 25 member states of the EU, in Switzerland and Norway may return their used electronic products free of charge to designated collection facilities or to a retailer (if you purchase a similar new one). For countries not mentioned above, please contact your local authorities for the correct method of disposal.

By doing so you will ensure that your disposed product undergoes the necessary treatment, recovery and recycling and thus prevent potential negative effects on the environment and human health. PDP507XA.book Page 8 Tuesday, June 20, 2006 1:44 PM9

Attaching speed clamps to the main unit

Attach the speed clamps using the 3 holes (42 inches: 2 holes)

marked with below, depending on your routing system.

for PDP-427XA Attaching and removing speed clamps

Insert [1] into an appropriate hole on the rear of the Plasma

Television and snap [2] into the back of [1] to lock the clamp.

Speed clamps are designed to be difficult to undo once in

place. Please attach them carefully.

Use pliers to twist the clamp 90º, pulling outward. The clamp

may deteriorate over time and become damaged if removed.

Be careful not to subject any connecting cables to strain.

• Use the supplied speed clamps as necessary.

Connecting to an antenna

To enjoy a clearer picture, use an outdoor antenna. The following is a brief explanation of the types of connections that are used

for a coaxial cable.

Antenna cable (commercially available)

Preparing the remote control unit

1 Open the battery cover.

2 Load the supplied two AA size batteries while inserting

their respective negative polarity (–) ends first.

• Place batteries with their terminals corresponding to the

(+) and (–) indicators in the battery compartment.

3 Close the battery cover.

Cautions regarding batteries

Improper use of batteries can result in chemical leakage or an

explosion. Be sure to follow the instructions below.

• When you replace the batteries, use manganese or alkaline

• Place the batteries with their terminals corresponding to the

(+) and (–) indicators.

• Do not mix batteries of different types. Different types of

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.

• Remove batteries as soon as they have worn out. Chemicals

that leak from batteries can cause a rash. 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 INSTITUTION’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 (t) located at the bottom right of the

front panel of the Plasma Television. 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.

• With the PDP-427XA, the SR logo is located at the lower right

on the speaker but the location of the remote control sensor

is the same as with the PDP-507XA.

Cautions regarding the remote control unit

• Do not expose the remote control unit to shock. In addition,

do not expose the remote control unit to liquids, and do not

place in an area with high humidity.

• Do not install or place the remote control unit under direct

sunlight. The heat may cause deformation of the unit.

• The remote control unit may not work properly if the remote

control sensor of the Plasma Television is under direct

sunlight or strong lighting. In such case, change the angle of

the lighting or Plasma Television, or operate the remote

control unit closer to the remote control sensor.

• 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 early enough.

• The Plasma Television 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 Television.

• Depending on the installation environment, infrared rays

from the Plasma Television 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.
