Important User Guidance Information
In order to obtain maximum enjoyment from this Pioneer PureVision PDP-5030HD/PDP-4330HD Plasma Display System, please first read
this information carefully.
With the Pioneer PureVision PDP-5030HD/PDP-4330HD, you can be assured of a high quality Plasma Display System with long-life and
high reliability. To achieve images of exceptional quality, this Pioneer Plasma Display System incorporates state-of-the-art design and
construction, as well as very precise and highly advanced technology. On a total of nearly 3 million light cells, more than 99.999 percent
of the cells remain active.
Over the course of its lifetime, the luminosity of the Pioneer PDP-5030HD/PDP-4330HD Plasma Display 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 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 displaying static images for a prolonged
period. Plasma Display Systems 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:
• Whenever possible, avoid frequently displaying the same image or virtually still moving pictures (e.g. closed-captioned images or
video game images which have static portions).
• 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 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 over 3 times longer than the previous still/moving image.
• After using the Plasma Display System, always switch the display to “STAND BY” mode.
Installation guidelines
The Pioneer PureVision PDP-5030HD/PDP-4330HD 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.
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 held
responsible for accident or damage caused by the use of parts and accessories manufactured by other companies.
To avoid malfunction and overheating when installing, make sure that the vents on the main unit are not blocked. To ensure proper heat
emission:
• Distance the unit slightly from other equipment, walls, etc. more than 10 cm(3
15
/16 inch)
• 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.
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 a hazardous occurrence.
Malfunction can be caused by many factors: inappropriate installation site, improper assembly/installation/mounting, improper operation
of or modifications made to this product. However, PIONEER cannot be held responsible for accidents or malfunction caused by the
above.
A
Typical effects and characteristics of a phosphor-based matrix display such as permanent residual images upon the phosphors of the
panel and the existence of a minute number of inactive light cells in the screen are not covered by local warranties.
About the Plasma Panel’s protection function
The brightness of this display will deteriorate slightly when an image with little movement such as a photograph or computer image is
continuously displayed. This is caused by the Plasma Panel's protection function which detects images with slight movement and
automatically adjusts brightness to protect the display, and is not a malfunction.
This function begins operating when the display detects no or little screen movement for a period of about three minutes.
L
Panel sticking and after-image lag
• Displaying the same images such as still images for a long time may cause after-image lagging. This may occur in the following two
cases.
1. After-image lagging due to remaining electrical load
When image patterns with very high peak luminance are displayed for more than 1 minute, after-image lagging may occur due to the
remaining electric load. The after-images remaining on the screen will disappear when moving images are displayed. The time for the
after-images to disappear depends on the luminance of the still images and the time they had been displayed.
2. After-image (lag image) due to burning
Avoid displaying the same image on the Plasma Display continuously over a long period of time. If the same image is displayed
continuously for several hours, or for shorter periods of time over several days, a permanent after-image may remain on the screen due
to burning of the fluorescent materials. Such images may become less noticeable if moving images are later displayed, but they will not
disappear completely.
• The Energy save function can be set to help prevent damage from screen burning (See page 32-33).

Parental control (setting V-CHIP level)
V-CHIP is an electronic filtering device built into your System. This tool gives parents a great degree of control
over broadcasts accessed by their children. It allows parents to select programs judged suitable for child
viewing while blocking ones judged not suitable. It does so automatically once you activate the V-CHIP feature
in your Plasma Display.
V-CHIP and Status will not be selectable from the menu if you do not first configure your secret number.(See
page 52 for Secret number setting for parental control.)
• The U.S. has two rating systems for viewing content: TV Parental Guidelines and movie ratings.
• The TV Parental Guidelines work in conjunction with the V-CHIP to help parents screen out inappropriate
television shows from their children.
• Movie ratings are used for original movies rated by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) as
watched on cable TV and not edited for television. The V-CHIP can also be set to block MPAA-rated movies

Canadian Rating Systems
• The TV rating systems in Canada are based on the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications
Commission (CRTC) policy on violence in television programming.
• While violence is the most important content element to be rated, the structure developed takes into
consideration other program content like language, nudity, sexuality and mature themes.
• When setting the V-CHIP on the Canadian system you can chose either the Canadian English ratings or the
Canadian French ratings.

Exempt: Includes news, sports, documentaries and other information programming; talk
shows, music videos, and variety programming.
Children: Intended for younger children under the age of 8 years. Pays careful attention to
themes that could threaten their sense of security and well-being.
Children over 8 years old: Contains no portrayal of violence as the preferred, acceptable,
or only way to resolve conflict; nor encourage children to imitate dangerous acts which
they may see on the screen.
General: Considered acceptable for all age groups. Appropriate viewing for the entire
family, contains very little violence, physical, verbal or emotional.
Parental Guidance: Intended for a general audience, but may not be suitable for younger
children (under the age of 8) because it could contain controversial themes or issues.
Over 14 Years: Could contain themes where violence is one of the dominant elements of
the storyline, but it must be integral to the development of plot or character. Language
usage could be profane and nudity present within the context of the theme.
Adults: Intended for viewers 18 years and older and might contain depictions of violence,
which while related to the development of plot, character or themes, are intended for adult
viewing. Could contain graphic language and portrayals of sex and nudity.
