SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION
÷
If this product is equipped with a polarized
alternating current line plug (a plug having one
blade wider than the other), it will fit into the outlet
only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are
unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try
reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit,
contact your electrician to replace your obsolete
outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the
polarized plug.
÷
If this product is equipped with a three-wire
grounding type plug, a plug having a third
(grounding) pin, it will only fit into a grounding type
power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are
unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact
your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do
not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding
type plug.
POWER-CORD PROTECTION -- Power-supply cords
should be routed so that they are not likely to be
walked on or pinched by items placed upon or
against them, paying particular attention to cords
at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point
where they exit from the product.
OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING -- If an outside
antenna or cable system is connected to the
product, be sure the antenna or cable system is
grounded so as to provide some protection against
voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article
810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA
70, provides information with regard to proper
grounding of the mast and supporting structure,
grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna
discharge unit, size of grounding conductors,
location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to
grounding electrodes, and requirements for the
grounding electrode. See Figure A.
LIGHTNING -- For added protection for this product
during a lightning storm, or when it is left
unattended and unused for long periods of time,
unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the
antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage
to the product due to lightning and power-line
surges.
POWER LINES -- An outside antenna system should
not be located in the vicinity of overhead power
lines or other electric light or power circuits, or
where it can fall into such power lines or circuits.
When installing an outside antenna system,
extreme care should be taken to keep from
touching such power lines or circuits as contact
with them might be fatal.
OVERLOADING -- Do not overload wall outlets,
extension cords, or integral convenience
receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or
electric shock.

÷ Incorporation of high performance XGA wide
plasma panel.
The XGA wide panel incorporates pioneering
developments that have allowed realization of more than
2.5 times the data capacity of the VGA panel used at the
TV broadcasting level until now*. With a definition of
1280 pixels horizontal and 768 pixels vertical, the XGA
wide panel provides unsurpassed reproduction of a wide
range of images from DVD players, peripheral
components, and computers.
* When the screen aspect is 4:3
VGA: 640 pixels x 480 pixels
XGA: 1024 pixels x 768 pixels
÷ Achievement of XGA class high level luminance
Even in the case of luminance, which is difficult to keep
consistent with the level of definition, using originally
developed PIONEER technology for optimization, a top
level luminance has been achieved at this definition.
÷ Realization of thin 3-27/32 inches (9.8 cm) unit
depth while retaining a maximum class level 50
inch screen
As well as producing a 50 inch wide screen, which has
been difficult to do with a direct view CRT, the extremely
thin 3-27/32 inches (9.8 cm) unit depth size opens up
completely new possibilities to how viewing rooms may
be designed.
÷ Unlimited placement possibilities
Designed to be attached to a wall, set on a table top
stand or placed on a floor rack, this unit can be installed
many ways.
÷ Optional table top stand (sold separately)
Stand designed specifically for PDP-505HD table top
placement. (For details, please consult the dealer where
this unit was purchased.)
÷ Designed to conserve energy
This product has been designed to minimize power
consumption when the power is in standby. The value of
the power consumption in standby mode is 0.6 W.
