Important User Guidance Information Important User Guidance
InformationIn order to obtain maximum enjoyment from this Pioneer
PureVision PDP-506XDE/PDP-436XDE Plasma Display System, please
first read this information carefully. With the Pioneer PureVision
PDP-506XDE/PDP-436XDE, 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-506XDE/PDP-436XDE 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 panel, which furthers Pioneers 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-506XDE/PDP-436XDE Plasma Display System 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 Display System for a long time,
please carefully read and follow the usage guidances below: 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 page 16.
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 leave the product tilted over except the
case of vertical installation of the Media Receiver. 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.
01
English
Usage guidelinesAll 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). 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 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 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 Display System, always switch
the display to STANDBY mode.
NOTEThe following are typical effects and characteristics of a
phosphor-based matrix display and as such, are not covered by the
manufacturers 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
Installation guidelinesThe Pioneer PureVision
PDP-506XDE/PDP-436XDE 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.

Important User Guidance InformationCAUTIONPIONEER bears no
responsibility for any damage arising from 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 must be liable.
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.
Plasma Display protection functionWhen 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 Display 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.
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.
Information of pixel defectPlasma 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 43 inch display, over 2.9 million pixels in case
of a 50 inch display, over 3.1 million cells in case of a 61 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 technology.
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.
Infrared raysThe Plasma Display releases infrared rays because
of its characteristics. Depending on how the Plasma Display 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.
Radio interferenceWhile 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.
Handles at the rear of the Plasma Display Do not remove the
handles from the rear of the Plasma Display. When moving the Plasma
Display, ask another person for help and use the handles attached
to the rear of the Plasma Display. Do not move the Plasma Display
by holding only a single handle. Use the handles as shown. 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.
Plasma Display driving soundThe screen of the Plasma Display 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
Display. Also note that the rotation speed of the cooling fan motor
increases when the ambient temperature of the Media Receiver
becomes high. You may hear the sound of the fan motor at that time.
8En
Important User Guidance InformationCAUTIONPanel 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
01
English
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 had been displayed.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 several hours, 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. The energy save function can be
set to help prevent damage from screen burning (see page 38).
CAUTION The compatibility of this product with digital
terrestrial services has been fixed - details described in the
product specifications - at the time of its introduction.
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

PreparationAllowed operation range of the remote control
unitOperate 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 Display. 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.
Preparing the remote control unitInserting batteries 1 Open the
battery cover.
2 Load the supplied two AA size batteries while insertingtheir
respective negative polarity () ends first. 30 30 Remote control
sensor 7m
Place batteries with their terminals corresponding to the (+)
and () indicators in the battery compartment.
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 Display is under direct sunlight or strong
lighting. In such case, change the angle of the lighting or Plasma
Display, 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 Display 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
Display. Depending on the installation environment, infrared rays
from the Plasma Display 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.
3 Close the battery cover.
Cautions regarding batteriesImproper use of batteries can result
in chemical leakage or 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.
CAUTION WHEN DISPOSING OF USED BATTERIES, PLEASE COMPLY WITH
GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS OR ENVIRONMENTAL PUBLIC INSTRUCTIONS RULES
THAT APPLY IN YOUR COUNTRY/AREA. 22En
