En
PIONEER bears no responsibility for any damages
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.
Plasma Display 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 be-
cause 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.
Infrared rays
The Plasma Display releases infrared rays because of
its characteristics. Depending on how the Plasma
Display is in use, the remote controls of nearby equip-
ment may be adversely affected or wireless head-
phones 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 interference
While 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.
Fan motor noise
When ambient temperature of the Media Receiver
becomes high, the rotation speed of the cooling fan
motor increases. This may make you feel that the fan
motor is noisy at such an occasion.
Do not attach such items as labels and tape to the
product.
• This may result in the discoloration 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 af-
fected. Switch on and run the product occasionally.
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.
Cleaning the screen
• When cleaning the screen of this product, 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 hard cloth or rub the screen hard, the
surface of the screen 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
• The cabinet of this product is mostly composed of
plastic. Do not use chemicals such as benzine 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.
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.
