In order to obtain maximum enjoyment from this
Pioneer PureVision PRO-1110HD/PRO-910HD Plasma
Display System, please first read this information
carefully.
With the Pioneer PureVision PRO-1110HD/PRO-910HD,
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.
Over the course of its lifetime, the luminosity of the
Pioneer PRO-1110HD/PRO-910HD 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 recom-
mendations 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 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 “STANDBY” mode.
Installation guidelines
The Pioneer PureVision PRO-1110HD/PRO-910HD
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. For the minimum space required around
the unit, see pages 17 and 18.
• 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 except the case of
vertical installation of the Media Receiver.
• Do not reverse 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 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.
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.
