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:
• Distance the unit slightly from other equipment, walls, etc. For
the minimum space required around the unit, see page 14.
• Do not fit the unit inside narrow spaces 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, by using a vacuum cleaner set to its lowest suction
setting.
• Do not place the product on a carpet or blanket.
• Do not leave the product tilted over.
• Do not turn the product upside down.
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 will automatically power off in order to cool the internal
electronics and prevent hazardous occurrences.
Any malfunction may occur due to: an inappropriate installation
site, improper assembly, installation, mounting, or operation of this
product, modifications made to the product. However, Pioneer
cannot be held responsible for such accidents or malfunction.
Note
The following 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 phosphors of the panel.
• The existence of a minute number of inactive light cells.
• Panel generated sounds, examples: Fan motor noise, and
electrical circuit humming/glass panel buzzing
Caution
• Pioneer bears no responsibility for any damage 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 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.
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.
Plasma television driving sound
The screen of the plasma television is composed of extremely fine
pixels and these pixels emit light according to received video
signals. This principle may make you hear buzz sound or electrical
circuit humming from the plasma television.
Do not attach such items as labels and tape to the
product.
This may result in the discolouration 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 affected. Switch on and run the
product occasionally.
