Important user information
In order to obtain maximum enjoyment from this Pioneer PDP-
LX608G/PDP-LX508G plasma television, please first read this
information carefully.
With the Pioneer PDP-LX608G/PDP-LX508G, 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-LX608G/PDP-LX508G 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 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-
LX608G/PDP-LX508G 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. 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 digital tuner, 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 do not
use this mode for long periods of time.
• After playing a game, 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 three times the length of
the previous still/moving image.
• After using the plasma television, always switch the display to
"STANDBY" mode.
