PIONEER bears no responsibility for any damages aris-
ing 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 because the pro-
tection function of the Plasma Display automatically ad-
justs 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 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 equip-
ment 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 prod-
uct.
Fan motor noise
When ambient temperature of the Media Receiver be-
comes 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 affected.

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 con-
densation takes place, do not switch on the product
and wait until condensation disappears. Using the prod-
uct 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 prod-
uct, resulting in malfunction.
Cleaning the cabinet
• The cabinet of this product is mostly composed of plas-
tic. 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 rub-
ber or vinyl products for a long period of time. The ef-
fect 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 prod-
uct, 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.
