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:
Usage guidelines
All phosphor-based screens (including conventional tube-type
televisions) can be affected by displaying static images for a
prolonged period. Plasma Display System's are no exception
to this rule. After-image and permanent effects on the screen
can be avoided by taking some basic precautions. By follow-
ing 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-cap-
tioned 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.
Installation guidelines
The Pioneer PureVision PDP-505XDE/435XDE, PDP-505HDE/
435HDE 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.
