Important User Guidance Information
In order to obtain maximum enjoyment from this Pioneer
PureVision PDP-5040HD/PDP-4340HD Plasma Display
System, please first read this information carefully.
With the Pioneer PureVision PDP-5040HD/PDP-4340HD,
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 PDP-5040HD/PDP-4340HD 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.
Installation guidelines
The Pioneer PureVision PDP-5040HD/PDP-4340HD
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:
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 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.
• 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 elec-
tronics 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.

Important User Guidance Information
01
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 electric load
When image patterns with very high peak luminance are
displayed 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 fluores-
cent 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 54).

Safety Precautions
Electricity is used to perform many useful functions, but
it can also cause personal injuries and property damage
if improperly handled. This product has been engineered
and manufactured with the highest priority on safety.
However, improper use can result in electric shock and/
or fire. In order to prevent potential danger, please ob-
serve the following instructions when installing, operat-
ing and cleaning the product. To ensure your safety and
prolong the service life of your product, please read the
following precautions carefully before using the product.
1. Read instructions—All operating instructions must be
read and understood before the product is operated.
2. Keep this manual in a safe place—These safety and
operating instructions must be kept in a safe place
for future reference.
10.Ventilation—The vents and other openings in the cabi-
net are designed for ventilation. Do not cover or block
these vents and openings since insufficient ventila-
tion can cause overheating and/or shorten the life of
the product. Do not place the product on a bed, sofa,

mended by the manufacturer. Use of inadequate at-
tachments can result in accidents.
14.Overloading—Do not overload AC outlets or extension
cords. Overloading can cause fire or electric shock.
15.Entering of objects and liquids—Never insert an ob-
ject into the product through vents or openings. High
voltage flows in the product, and inserting an object
can cause electric shock and/or short internal parts.
For the same reason, do not spill water or liquid on
the product.
16.Servicing—Do not attempt to service the product your-
self. Removing covers can expose you to high voltage
and other dangerous conditions. Request a qualified
service person to perform servicing.
7. Water and moisture—Do not use the product near
water, such as bathtub, washbasin, kitchen sink and
laundry tub, swimming pool and in a wet basement.
8. Stand—Do not place the product on an unstable cart,
stand, tripod or table. Placing the product on an un-
stable base can cause the product to fall, resulting in
serious personal injuries as well as damage to the
product. Use only a cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table
recommended by the manufacturer or sold with the
product. When mounting the product on a wall, be
sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Use
only the mounting hardware recommended by the
manufacturer.
9. When relocating the product placed on a cart, it must
be moved with utmost care. Sudden stops, excessive
force and nueven floor surface can cause the product
to fall from the cart.
17.Repair—If any of the following conditions occurs, un-
plug the power cord from the AC outlet, and request a
qualified service person to perform repairs.
a. When the power cord or plug is damaged.
b. When a liquid was spilled on the product or when
objects have fallen into the product.
c. When the product has been exposed to rain or wa-
ter.
d. When the product does not operate properly as de-
scribed in the operating instructions.

scribed in the operating instructions. Improper ad-
justment of controls not described in the instruc-
tions can cause damage, which often requires ex-
tensive adjustment work by a qualified technician.
e. When the product has been dropped or damaged.
f. When the product displays an abnormal condition.
Any noticeable abnormality in the product indicates
that the product needs servicing.

Safety Precautions
02
18. Replacement parts—In case the product needs re-
placement parts, make sure that the service person
uses replacement parts specified by the manufacturer,
or those with the same characteristics and perfor-
mance as the original parts. Use of unauthorized parts
can result in fire, electric shock and/or other danger.
19. Safety checks—Upon completion of service or repair
work, request the service technician to perform safety
checks to ensure that the product is in proper operat-
ing condition.
20. Wall or ceiling mounting—When mounting the prod-
uct on a wall or ceiling, be sure to install the product
according to the method recommended by the manu-
facturer.
21. Heat sources—Keep the product away from heat
sources such as radiators, heaters, stoves and other
heat- generating products (including amplifiers).
22. Unplug the power cord from the AC outlet before in-
stalling the speakers.
23. Never expose the screen of the Plasma Display to a
strong impact, for example, by hitting it. The screen
may be broken, resulting in fire or personal injury.
24. Do not expose the Plasma Display to direct sunlight
for a long period of time. The optical characteristics
of the front protection panel changes, resulting in dis-
coloration or warp.
25. The Plasma Display weighs about 38 kg (83.8 lbs.) for
the PDP-504PU and about 30.5 kg (67.3 lbs.) for the
PDP-434PU. Because it has small depth and is un-
stable, unpack, carry, and install the product with one
more person at least and use the handles.
26. Use M8 screws, which go 12 to 18 mm in depth from
the mounting surface of the Plasma Display.

Operational Precautions
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.
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
Cleaning the screen
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.
• 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Switch on and run the product occasionally.

Installing the Plasma Display
Operate the remote control unit while pointing it toward
the remote control sensor (t) located at the bottom
right of the front panel of the Plasma Display. The
distance from the remote control sensor must be within
7 m and the angle relative to the sensor must be within
30 degrees in the right, left, upward, or downward
direction.

Remote
control
sensor
• Because the Plasma Display is heavy, be sure to have
someone help you when moving it.
• If you place anything on the top of the Media Receiver
it will not receive enough ventilation and will not
operate properly.
When the remote control unit does not func-
tion properly
• When any obstacle exists between the remote control
unit and the remote control sensor, the remote
control unit may not function.
• As the batteries become empty, the remote control
unit can function within a shorter distance from the
remote control sensor. Replace the batteries with new
ones early enough.
• The Plasma Display emits very weak infrared rays
from its screen. If you place such equipment oper-
ated through infrared remote control as a VCR
nearby, that equipment may not receive commands
from its remote control unit properly or entirely. If this
is the case, place that equipment at a location far
enough from the Plasma Display.
• Allow enough space around the upper and back parts
when installing to ensure ventilation around the
backside.
Using the optional PIONEER stand
• For details on installation, refer to the instruction
manual provided with the stand.
• This product may be used only with model PDK-TS04
stand, use with other stands may result in instability
causing possible injury.
• Depending on the installation environment, infrared
rays from the Plasma Display may not allow this
system to properly receive commands from the
remote control unit or may shorten allowable dis-
tances between the remote control unit and the
remote control sensor. The strength of infrared rays
emitted from the screen differs, depending on images
displayed on the screen.
Using the optional PIONEER speakers
• For details on installation, refer to the instruction
manual provided with the speaker.
Operating Environment
Operating environment temperature and humidity:
+0°C to +40°C (+32°F to +104°F); 20 % to 80% RH
(cooling vents not blocked)
Avoid installing at the following locations:
• Under direct exposure to sunlight
• Under strong artificial light
• In high humidity

Basic Operations
Setting MTS/SAP mode
The Plasma Display System has a feature that allows
reception of sound other than the main audio for the
program. This feature is called Multi-channel Television
Sound (MTS). The Plasma Display System with MTS
can receive mono sound, stereo sound and Secondary
Audio Programs (SAP). The SAP feature allows a TV
station to broadcast other information, which could be
audio in another language or something completely
different like weather information.
• Once the MONO mode is selected, the Plasma
Display System sound remains mono even if the
system receives a stereo broadcast. You must
reselect the STEREO mode if you want to hear stereo
sound again.
• Selecting MTS while the input source is INPUT 1 to 4
or PC does not change the type of sound. In this
case, sound is determined by the video source.
You can enjoy Hi-Fi stereo sound or SAP
broadcasts where available.
• Stereo broadcasts
View programs like live sporting events, shows and
concerts in dynamic stereo sound.
• SAP broadcasts
Receive TV broadcasts in either MAIN or SAP sound.
MAIN sound: The normal program soundtrack (either
in mono or stereo).
SAP sound: Listen to second language, supplemen-
tary commentary and other information. (SAP is
mono sound.)
Each time you press MTS, MTS toggles as shown
below.
If stereo sound is difficult to hear:
• Obtain a clearer sound by manually switching to the
MONO mode.

• In each of the MTS/SAP modes selected using the
MTS button, the display changes depending on
broadcasting signals being received. See page 33.

Priority rules for overlapped

presettings
When preset TV programs are overlapped, the following
three rules are used to determine a higher priority. If
more than one of the three rules are met, the rules are
applied in the order; 1, 2, then 3.
Rule 1: Presetting for recording is given a higher
priority over presetting for auto channel
select.

Rule 2: If two presettings are overlapped, presetting
with earlier start time is given a higher
priority. If two presettings are sequential, the
last portion of the first program is not re-
corded for 15 seconds because recording of
the second program is started at the exact
start time.

The shaded area is not executed.
Rule 3: If presettings at the same start time are
overlapped, presetting with a smaller list
number is given a higher priority.

If your AV receiver does not have a digital audio input
terminal (optical), connect the MONITOR OUT termi-
nals (AUDIO) on the rear of the Media Receiver to the
audio input terminals on the AV receiver.
The digital audio output terminal (optical) on this
system can output Dolby Digital signals. Using an
optical digital cable, connect an AV receiver to the
digital audio output terminal (optical) on the rear of the
Media Receiver. This allows audio such as digital TV
broadcasting to be played in high quality.
• When using the digital audio output terminal (opti-
cal), you need to make settings depending on your AV
receiver. For more information, see the user’s manual
for the AV receiver.

Watching a D-VHS image
What can be recorded through i.LINK?
With D-VHS recorders connected to this system
through i.LINK, you can record only digital TV pro-
grams. You cannot record conventional TV channels
nor contents coming from external input sources and
personal computers.
What is i.LINK?
i.LINK is a digital serial interface for handling digital
video, digital audio, and other data in two directions.
i.LINK is Sony’s term for the IEEE 1394 data transport
bus. Digital AV equipment compatible with i.LINK can
be connected using a single i.LINK cable. The i.LINK
interface allows this PDP system to control one of up to
two i.LINK compatible devices (in connection) that can
be identified.
Connecting D-VHS recorders
Use the i.LINK terminals when connecting D-VHS
recorders.
Which i.LINK devices are connectable?
For i.LINK devices, this system supports only D-VHS
recorders. The i.LINK terminals on this system cannot
be connected with other equipment such as DVD
recorders, digital video cameras, personal computers,
and PC peripheral devices because of differences in the
specifications.

Displaying a D-VHS image
To watch a D-VHS image, press i.LINK on the remote
control unit or press INPUT on the Plasma Display to
select i.LINK.
Useful and important notification
Useful information
• D-VHS recorders connected through i.LINK can play
back digital TV programs recorded using this system.
• D-VHS recorders connected through i.LINK can
record only digital TV programs. Using i.LINK, those
recorders cannot record conventional TV channels
nor contents coming from external input sources.
• This system can be simultaneously connected with
up to two D-VHS recorders that support i.LINK. You
can control one of these D-VHS recorders (basic
functions only).
• Some D-VHS recorders connected through i.LINK
may not allow this system to control through the
control panel screen or to display images and output
sound.
• To record digital TV programs using connected D-VHS
recorders, use D-VHS tape. You cannot use VHS tape
nor S-VHS tape.
• Some D-VHS recorders connected though i.LINK may
not allow this system to play back images and sound
recorded on VHS tape, S-VHS tape, or (if with analog
signals) D-VHS tape. If this is the case, connect the
analog output terminals on the D-VHS recorder to
INPUT 1, 2, 3, or 4 terminals on this system. See
pages 65 to 67.
• This system supports the Digital Transmission Con-
tent Protection (DTCP) technology. The DTCP is a
copy protection technology that presents data coding
and device authentification.
• i.LINK may not allow copy-restricted video, audio, and
other data to be copied from one i.LINK device to
another. It also may not allow video, audio, and other
data to be transferred with equipment that does not
support the DTCP.
Precautions
• While one D-VHS recorder connected through i.LINK
is recording or playing back, do not switch on or off
the other connected D-VHS recorder (not in use) or
do not connect or disconnect the i.LINK cable from
that D-VHS recorder. Doing so can result in image
and sound interruption.
• Some D-VHS recorders that support i.LINK cannot
relay data when their power is off. Check the user’s
manual for your D-VHS recorder. This system allows
you to change the setting for data relay in the standby
mode. See “Setting up for i.LINK standby” on page 76.

About SR+
Connecting control cords
The CONTROL OUT terminal on the rear of the Media
Receiver supports SR+ that allows linked operations
with a PIONEER AV receiver. SR+ presents functions
such as the input switch linkage operation function and
the DSP surround mode display function. For more
information, see the user’s manual for the PIONEER AV
receiver supporting SR+.
Connect control codes between the Media Receiver
and other PIONEER equipment having the t logo. You
can then operate the connected equipment by sending
commands from its remote control unit to the remote
control sensor on the Media Receiver.
After the CONTROL IN terminals have been connected,
the remote control sensors on the connected equip-
ment do not accept commands from the remote
control units. Face the remote control units to the
remote control sensor on the Plasma Display when
operating the connected equipment.
• While in connection through SR+, the volume on
this system is temporarily minimized.
• Make sure that the power is turned off when making
connections.
• Complete all component connections before making
control cord connections.
