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).

Important User Guidance Information

English

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.
