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.
