Important User Guidance Information

01

In order to obtain maximum enjoyment from this Pioneer PureVision PRO-1540HD/PRO-1140HD/PRO-940HD Plasma Display Panel, please first read this information carefully.

With the Pioneer PureVision PRO-1540HD/PRO-1140HD/PRO- 940HD, you can be assured of a high quality Plasma Display Panel with long-life and high reliability. To achieve images of exceptional quality, this Pioneer Plasma Display Panel incorporates state-of-the-art design and construction as well as precise and highly advanced technology.

The Pioneer PureVision PRO-1540HD/PRO-1140HD/PRO- 940HD incorporates the latest in color filter technology – Direct Color Filter. This filter technology improves color reproduction over previous models. It also eliminates the need for a glass panel to be layered in front of the plasma panel. This feature which furthers Pioneer’s goal of reducing environmental waste in consumer electronics, during the manufacturing process and in the future during the recycling process.

Over the course of its lifetime, the luminosity of the Pioneer PRO-1540HD/PRO-1140HD/PRO-940HD Plasma Display System will diminish very slowly, which happens to all phosphor-based screens (for example, a traditional tube-type television). To enjoy beautiful and bright images on your Pioneer Plasma Display Panel 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 static images appearing for a prolonged period. Plasma displays are no exception to this rule. After-image and permanent effects on the screen can be avoided by taking some basic precautions.

Whenever possible, avoid showing the same image or low- motion pictures (e.g. closed-captioned images or video game images which have static portions).

Avoid viewing the On Screen Display (OSD) for extended periods (from a DVD player, VCR, and all other components).

Do not leave the same picture, freeze-framed or paused continuously, shown 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, 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 over 3 times longer than the previous still/moving image was shown.

After using the Plasma Display System, always switch the display to Standby.

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 PRO-1540HD/PRO-1140HD/PRO- 940HD Plasma Display Panel incorporates a very thin design. To ensure safety, please take the proper measures when mounting or installing the Plasma Display. Prevent the unit from tipping over during vibration or accidental movement.

This product should be installed by using only parts and accessories designed by PIONEER. Use of installation or mounting accessories other than PIONEER-approved stands or brackets 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 is not responsible for accident or damage caused by the use of parts and/or accessories manufactured by other unauthorized companies.

To avoid malfunction and overheating when installing, make sure that the vents on the main unit are not blocked. To ensure proper venting:

Distance the unit slightly from other equipment, walls, etc. For the minimum space required around the unit, see page 20.

Do not place the unit inside a narrow place 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. Use a vacuum cleaner set to its lowest suction setting to clear dust.

Do not place the product on a carpet or blanket.

Do not leave the product tilted at an angle without proper anchoring.

Do not invert 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 automatically powers OFF in order to cool the internal electronics.

Malfunction can be caused by many factors: inappropriate installation site, improper assembly/installation/mounting, improper operation of or modifications made to this product, etc. PIONEER is not responsible for accidents or malfunction caused by the above situations.

NOTE

The following points 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 panel’s phosphors.

Existence of a small number of inactive light cells.

Panel generated sounds (Fan motor noise, electrical circuit humming, glass panel buzzing, etc.)
