Important user information

In order to obtain maximum enjoyment from this Pioneer PDP-5080XA/PDP-4280XA plasma television, please first read this information carefully.

With the Pioneer PDP-5080XA/PDP-4280XA, 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 PDP-5080XA/PDP-4280XA plasma television 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 process.

Over the course of its lifetime, the luminosity of the Pioneer PDP-5080XA/PDP-4280XA 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 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 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 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 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 any still image, it is best to view a normal moving picture in the "WIDE" or "FULL" screen setting for more than three times the length of the previous still moving image.
  After using the plasma television, always switch the display to "STANDBY" mode.

Installation guidelines

The Pioneer PDP-5080XA/PDP-4280XA 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 responsible for accident or damage caused by the use of parts and accessories manufactured by other companies, inadequate installation or stabilization, erroneous operation, remodeling or natural disasters.

To avoid malfunction and overheating, make sure that the vents on the main unit are not blocked when installing to ensure proper heat emission:

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 television displays information using pixels. Pioneer plasma television panels contain a very large number of pixels. (Depending on the panel size; over 2.3 million cells for a 42 inch display, over 3.1 million cells for 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 televisions because it is a consequence of the technology.

If the defective pixels are visible at a normal viewing distance of between 2.5 meters 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 technology.

Infrared rays

The plasma television releases infrared rays because of its characteristics. Depending on how the plasma television is used, 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.

Important user information

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.

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 humming from the plasma television.

Do not attach such items as labels and tape to the product.

This may result in the discolouration 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 surface of the screen and the glossy surface of the front cabinet

When cleaning the surface of the screen or the glossy surface of the front cabinet, 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 dusty or hard cloth or if you rub the screen hard, the surface of the product 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

When cleaning the cabinet of this product, gently wipe it with a clean soft cloth (e.g., cotton and flannel). If you use a dusty or hard cloth or if you rub the cabinet hard, the surface of the cabinet will be scratched.

The cabinet of this product is mostly composed of plastic. Do not use chemicals such as benzene 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 television

Do not remove the handles from the rear of the plasma television. When moving the plasma television, ask another person for help and use the handles attached to the rear of the plasma television. Do not move the plasma television by holding only a single handle. 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.

Fan motor noise

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.

To use this product for a long period of time

The Energy Save function can maintain efficiency of the screen for a long period of time. Setting the Energy Save function to "Mode 1" is recommended in order to maintain the efficiency of the screen for a long period of time.

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.

After-image lagging due to remaining electrical load

When image patterns with very high peak luminance are displayed for more than one 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.

After-image (lag image) due to burning

Avoid displaying the same image on the plasma television 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.

Note

• When a still image, such as a programme menu, is displayed for 5 to 10 minutes, the system automatically turns the image off to prevent damage from screen burning.
• To prevent screen burning, the display position is automatically changed imperceptibly when watching plasma television (see Orbiter on page 39).

Preventing damage from screen burning

• We recommend that you enjoy watching images displayed in full screen, except when doing so may result in copyright infringement (see page 37).
• Set the Side Mask detection function to "On", the High Definition 16:9 aspect ratio images containing side masks will be detected and the side masks will be added automatically or the image displayed in full screen, leading to more effective countermeasures taken for the screen burning (see Detecting side masks on page 38).

Preparation

Basic connections

Connecting the 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.

- Connect a 75-ohm coaxial cable (commercially available) to the ANT terminal.

Antenna cable (commercially available)

If your outdoor antenna uses a 75-ohm coaxial cable with a standard DIN45325 plug (IEC169-2), plug it into the antenna terminal at the rear of the plasma television.

Note

If the antenna is not connected correctly, the quality of reception may be impaired. If images are not displaying correctly, check whether the antenna connection is correct or not.

Routing cables

When the speaker is installed under the plasma television panel (for PDP-5080XA only):

Note

• Use the supplied bead bands as necessary.
• When tidying up your speaker cables, make sure to bundle them so that they are not subjected to any pressure.

Attaching speed clamps to the main unit

Use the speed clamps as necessary to route the connecting cables. The diagrams below show the location of the holes on the rear of the plasma television.

Preparation

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 90^ , pulling outward. The clamp may deteriorate over time and become damaged if removed.
• Be careful not to subject any connecting cables to strain.

Note

• Use the speed clamps as necessary.

Attaching the ferrite core

Attach the accessory ferrite core to the end of the power cord as shown in the accompanying illustration. Use the provided cable tie to prevent the ferrite core from slipping on the table.

If you do not do this, the plasma television will not conform to mandatory CE standards.

Connecting the power cord

Note

• Disconnect the power cord from the power outlet when the plasma television is not going to be used for a long period of time.
• Insert the power plug in the AC outlet, after all other components are connected.

Preparing the remote control unit

Inserting batteries

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.

Caution

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 ones.
• 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.

Operating 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 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.

Note

• With the PDP-4280XA, 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-5080XA.

Caution

• 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 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 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.

(See page 20.) • If the indicator on the system lights up red, press 0 to 9 or Ⓞon the remote control unit or STANDBY/ON on the plasma television.
• Power is suddenly turned off.	• The system's internal temperature has increased. Remove any objects blocking vent or clean. (See page 14.) • Check the power control setting. (See page 33.) • Check the sleep timer setting. (See page 39.)
• System cannot be operated.	• External influences such as voltage malfunction, static electricity, etc., may cause improper operation. In this case, operate the system after unplugging the power cord and re-plugging it in after one to two minutes.
• Remote control unit does not operate.	• Operate the remote control unit while pointing it toward the remote control sensor on the plasma television. (See page 19.) • Are the batteries inserted with polarity (+,-) aligned? (See page 19.) • Are the batteries worn out? Replace with new batteries. (See page 19.) • Are you using it under strong or fluorescent lighting? • Is a fluorescent light illuminated to remote control sensor? • Check if any obstacles exist between the remote control unit and the remote control sensor.
• Panel sounds/noises.	• Panel generated sounds—for example, fan motor noise, electrical circuit humming, glass panel buzzing—are normal operation of a phosphor-based matrix display. • When you change the Energy Save mode, you may notice a change in the panel sound. This is normal.
PICTURE/SOUND
• No image and audio is presented.	• Check if the input source for video or PC has been unintentionally selected although you want to watch a TV channel. (See page 21.) • Check if you have selected a channel blocked with Child Lock. (See page 25.) • Enter a password to temporarily cancel Child Lock. (See page 39.) • Check if you have selected “Enable” in “HD AV Converter” for “HDMI Control Setting” even though no HD AV Converter is connected. Select “Disable” if that is the case. (See page 51.) • Check the cable connection with the antenna. (See page 17.) • Check the cable connection with the other equipment. (See pages 41 to 47.)
• No picture. • Is connection to other components correct? (See pages 41 to 47.) • Is the Input Select setting correct? (See page 36.) • Is a non-compatible PC signal being input? (See page 43.)
• Sound is reversed between the right and left. • Sound is output from only a single speaker.	• Check if the speaker cable connections have been reversed between the right and left or if the speaker cable from either speaker has been disconnected (for PDP-5080XA only). (See page 12.) • Has the balance been correctly adjusted? (See page 33.)
• Audio is output but no image is presented.	• Check if you have selected “Picture Off” for “Energy Save”. With this option selected, the screen is deactivated: only sound is output. To restore the screen display, press any button other than +/− or ×. (See page 33.)

Additional information

Problem Possible solution
• Images are presented but no audio is output.	• Check if you have selected the minimum volume. (See page 21.) • Check that no headphones are connected. • Check that the sound is not muted. (See page 21.) • When using "INPUT 5" as the input source, check that the audio terminal is also properly connected. (See page 42.) • When using PC as the input source, check that the audio terminal is also properly connected. (See page 43.) • When using "COMPONENT" for "INPUT 2", check to see if the settings are properly entered. (See pages 36 and 41.)
• Picture is cut off.	• Is the image position correct? (See pages 35 and 36.) • Has the correct screen size been selected? (See page 37.)
• Strange colour, light colour, dark or colour misalignment.	• Adjust the picture tone. (See pages 28 to 32.) • Is the room too bright? The picture may look dark in a room that is too bright. • Check the colour system setting. (See page 36.)
• After-image lag.	• After displaying a still image or a very bright image for a certain period of time, if the screen is then switched to a darker scene, the previous image may appear as an after-image. • This can be rectified by playing a rather bright moving image for several minutes. However, displaying a still image for excessively long periods of time may cause permanent display deterioration. • You can display the "Video Pattern" screen that helps eliminate after-image when it occurs. (See page 39.)
• Brightness and colour tone on both sides differ from those in the centre in 4:3 mode.	• If images in 4:3 mode or letterbox images are displayed for long periods or for shorter periods over several days, an after-image may remain due to burning. This is a characteristic of plasma displays. • We recommend that you enjoy watching images in a full screen mode as much as possible. (See page 37.) • We recommend you select "Auto" for "Brightness Sync." in the Side Mask setting. This adjusts the brightness of the grey side masks according to the brightness of the main image. (See page 38.)
HDMI Control
• HDMI Control functions do not operate.	• Check if the connections are properly made between the plasma television and the device that supports the HDMI Control functions. (See page 49.) • Check if you have entered the settings properly for "HDMI Control Setting". (See page 51.) • Check if the settings for the HDMI Control functions are effective on the connected device(s). For details, refer to the operation manual that came with the device.
• No image and audio is presented.	• Check if the connections are properly made between the plasma television and the device that supports the HDMI Control functions.
