filed with liquid near this equipment (such as a vase or
flower pot) or expose it to dripping, splashing, rain or
moisture.
WARNING: Handling the cord on this product or
cords associated with accessories sold with the prod-
uct will expose you to lead, a chemical known to the
State of California and other governmental entities to

harm. Wash hands after handling.
Information to User
Alteration or modifications carried out without appro-
priate authorization may invalidate the user's right to
operate the equipment.
CAUTION:
This product satisfies FCC regulations when shielded
cables and connectors are used to connect the unit to
other equipment. To prevent electromagnetic interfer-
ence with electric appliances such as radios and televi-
sions, use shielded cables and connectors for connec-
tions.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: The serial number for this
equipment is located on the rear panel. Please write this
serial number on your enclosed warranty card and keep
it in a secure area. This is for your security.
WARNING: This product equipped with a three-wire
grounding (earthed) plug - a plug that has a third
(grounding) pin. This plug only fits a grounding-type
power outlet. If you are unable to insert the plug into an
outlet, contact a licensed electrician to replace the out-
let with a properly grounded one. Do not defeat the safety
purpose of the grounding plug.
This digital television is capable of receiving analog basic,
digital basic cable television programming by direct
connection to a cable system providing such
programming. Digital premium cable television
programming and certain advanced and interactive
digital cable service such as video-on-demand, a cable
operator's enhanced program guide and data-enhanced
television services may require the use of a set-top box.
For more information call your local cable operator.
WARNING: To prevent a fire hazard, do not place any
naked flame sources (such as a lighted candle) on the
equipment.
VENTILATION CAUTION:
When installing this unit, make sure to leave space
around the unit for ventilation to improve heat radiation.
For the minimum space required, see page 14.
WARNING: Slots and openings in the cabinet are pro-
vided for ventilation to ensure reliable operation of the
product, and to protect it from overheating. To prevent
fire hazard, the openings should never be blocked or
covered with items (such as newspapers, table-cloths,
curtains) or by operating the equipment on thick carpet
or a bed.
STANDBY/ON Button
STANDBY: When placed into the standby mode, the
main power flow is cut and the unit is no longer fully
operational.
POWER Indicator: The indicator is lit red when the unit
is in the standby mode and lit blue when it is in the power-
on mode. No operation can be performed when the in-
dicator is off. However, the Plasma Display system will
still consume some power as long as the power cord is
inserted into the power outlet.
CAUTION:
The POWER switch on this unit will not completely shut
off all power from the AC outlet. Since the power cord
serves as the main disconnect device for the unit, you
will need to unplug it from the AC outlet to shut down all
power. Therefore, make sure the unit has been installed
so that the power cord can be easily unplugged from
the AC outlet in case of an accident. To avoid fire haz-
ard, the power cord should also be unplugged from the
AC outlet when left unused for a long period of time (for
example, when on vacation).

In order to obtain maximum enjoyment from this Pioneer
PureVision PDP-5016HD/PDP-4216HD Plasma Display System,
please first read this information carefully.
With the Pioneer PureVision PDP-5016HD/PDP-4216HD, 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.
The Pioneer PureVision PDP-5016HD/PDP-4216HD incorporates
the latest in color filter technology - Direct Color Filter. This
improves the color/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 panel,
which furthers Pioneer's continued goal of reducing environ-
mental waste in consumer electronics, now during the manu-
facturing process and in the future during the recycling
process.
Over the course of its lifetime, the luminosity of the Pioneer
PDP-5016HD/PDP-4216HD Plasma Display System will dimin-
ish 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 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 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 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.
· Extensive viewing of content with top, bottom, or side masks
may cause uneven wear. After viewing masked content, view
full screen motion video for an equal or greater amount of
time.
Installation guidelines
The Pioneer PureVision PDP-5016HD/PDP-4216HD 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 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 manufac-
tured 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 page
14.
· 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 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.
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 panel.
· The existence of a minute number of inactive light cells.
·Panel generated sounds, examples: Fan motor noise, and
electrical circuit humming/glass panel buzzing.
