Important user information
CImhaptpero1 rtant user information
In order to obtain maximum enjoyment from this Pioneer PDP-
508XDA/PDP-428XDA plasma television, please first read this
information carefully.
Installation guidelines
The Pioneer PDP-508XDA/PDP-428XDA 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.
With the Pioneer PDP-508XDA/PDP-428XDA, you can be assured
of a high quality plasma television with long-life and high reliability.
To achieve images of exceptional quality, this Pioneer plasma
television incorporates state-of-the-art design and construction, as
well as very precise and highly advanced technology.
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
The Pioneer PDP-508XDA/PDP-428XDA incorporates the latest in
colour filter technology: Direct colour Filter. This improves the
colour/picture reproduction of these models as compared to
previous models. It also eliminates the need for a physical glass
panel to be placed in front of the plasma panel, which furthers
Pioneer’s continued goal of reducing environmental waste in
consumer electronics, now during the manufacturing process and
in the future during the recycling process.
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.
Over the course of its lifetime, the luminosity of the Pioneer PDP-
508XDA/PDP-428XDA plasma television 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 television for a long time, please carefully read and
follow the usage guidelines below:
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 15.
• Do not fit the unit inside narrow spaces where ventilation is
poor.
Usage guidelines
• Do not cover with a cloth, etc.
All phosphor-based screens (including conventional tube-type
televisions) can be affected by displaying static images for a
prolonged period. Plasma televisions 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:
• 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.
• Whenever possible, avoid frequently displaying the same
image or virtually still moving pictures (e.g. video game images
which have static portions).
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 television will automatically power off in order to cool
the internal electronics and prevent hazardous occurrences.
• Do not display Teletext for a prolonged period of time.
• Avoid viewing the On Screen Display for extended periods,
from a set top box, DVD player, VCR and all other components.
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.
• 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.
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:
• When playing a game, the “GAME” mode setting within “AV
Selection” is strongly recommended. However, please do not
use this mode for long periods of time.
• Permanent residual images upon the phosphors of the panel.
• The existence of a minute number of inactive light cells.
• After playing a game, displaying a PC image, or any other still
image, it is best to view a normal moving picture in the “WIDE”
or “FULL” screen setting for more than three times the length
of the previous still/moving image.
• Panel generated sounds, examples: Fan motor noise, and
electrical circuit humming/glass panel buzzing
• After using the plasma television, always switch the television
to “STANDBY” mode.
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.

Important user information
Plasma television protection function
Condensation
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.
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 condensation takes place, do not switch on the
product and wait until condensation disappears. Using the product
with condensation may result in malfunction.
Cleaning the surface of the screen
When cleaning the screen surface, gently wipe it with the supplied
dry cleaning cloth.
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 in case of a 42
inch display; over 3.1 million cells in case of a 50 inch display). All
Pioneer display panels are manufactured using a very high level of
ultra-precision technology and undergo individual quality control.
Caution
Rubbing hard on the screen can scratch the special film coating
the surface. If cleaning gently with the dry cloth is not enough to
remove grime, unplug the power cord from the outlet and follow
the procedure below.
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.
1. Soak a piece of soft, untreated cloth in distilled water.
A “treated” cloth contains polish or other chemicals, such as in a
commercially available eyeglass cleaning towelette.
This effect is common to all plasma televisions because it is a
consequence of the technology.
2. Wring out the cloth so that it is slightly damp, not wet.
Make sure to wring out the cloth completely. Cleaning the surface
with a wet cloth can allow water to seep into the unit, causing
damage.
If the defective pixels are visible at a normal viewing distance of
between 2.5 metres and 3.5 metres whilst viewing a normal
broadcast (i.e. not a test card, still image or single colour display)
please contact the supplying dealer.
3. Gently wipe the surface of the screen with the damp cloth.
If, however, they can only be seen close up or during single colour
displays then this is considered normal for this technology.
4. Wipe the surface again using the dry cloth included with your
panel to remove any remaining dampness and to prevent
streaks.
Infrared rays
The plasma television releases infrared rays because of its
characteristics. Depending on how the plasma television 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 glossy surface of the front cabinet
When cleaning the glossy surface of the front cabinet, 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 dusty or hard cloth, the
surface of the product will be scratched.
Cleaning the cabinet
Radio interference
When cleaning the cabinet of this product, gently wipe it with a
clean soft cloth (e.g., cotton and flannel). If you use a dusty or hard
cloth or if you rub the cabinet hard, the surface of the cabinet will
be scratched.
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.
The cabinet of this product is mostly composed of plastic. Do not
use chemicals such as benzene or thinner to clean the cabinet.
Using these chemicals may result in quality deterioration or
coating removal.
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 cause you to hear a buzz or electrical
hum coming from the plasma television.
Do not expose the product to volatile gas or fluid such as pesticide.
Do not make the product contact with rubber or vinyl products for
a long period of time. The effect of plasticiser in the plastic may
result in quality deterioration or coating removal.
Fan motor noise
If you clean the surface of the cabinet with a wet cloth, water
droplets on the surface may enter into the product, resulting in
malfunction.
The rotation speed of the cooling fan motor increases when the
ambient temperature of the plasma television becomes high. You
may hear the sound of the fan motor at that time.
Handles at the rear of the plasma television
Do not remove the handles from the rear of 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 moving the plasma television, ask another person for help
and use the handles attached to the rear of the plasma television.
Do not move the plasma television by holding only a single handle.
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.
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.

Important user information
To use this product for a long period of time
The Energy Save function can maintain efficiency of the screen for
a long period of time. Setting the Energy Save function to “Mode1”
is recommended in order to maintain the efficiency of the screen
for a long period of time.
Caution
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.
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.
After-image (lag image) due to burning
Avoid displaying the same image on the plasma television
continuously over a long period of time.
If the same image is displayed continuously for long periods 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.
Note
• To prevent damage from screen burning, after a display time of
5 to 10 minutes this plasma television will automatically turn off
any still images generated by the panel itself. This includes the
Graphical User Interface and the Home Gallery function.
• To prevent screen burning, the display position is automatically
changed imperceptibly when watching plasma television (see
Orbiter on page 49).
Preventing damage from screen burning
• We recommend that you enjoy watching images displayed in
full screen, except when doing so may result in copyright
infringement (see page 46).
• Set the Side Mask detection function to “On”, the High
Definition 16:9 aspect ratio images containing side masks will
the image displayed in full screen, leading to more effective
countermeasures taken for the screen burning (see Detecting
side masks on page 47).

Antenna cable (commercially available)
Basic connections
Connecting the antenna
If your outdoor antenna uses a 75-ohm coaxial cable with a
standard DIN45325 plug (IEC169-2), plug it into the antenna
terminal at the rear of the plasma television.
To enjoy a clearer picture, use an outdoor antenna. The following is
a brief explanation of the types of connections that are used for a
coaxial cable.
Note
• If the antenna is not connected correctly, the quality of reception
may be impaired. If images are not displaying correctly, check
whether the antenna connection is correct or not.
• To view both analogue and digital broadcasts with a single
connecting cable, use the provided “loop” antenna cable. For
optimum picture quality, connect an antenna cable directly to a
single (either digital or analogue) antenna terminal.
Routing cables
Use the speed clamps as necessary to route the connecting
cables. The diagrams below show the location of the holes on the
rear of the display.

Deep Colour means the colour depth that describes the number of
bits used to represent the colour of a single pixel in a bitmapped
image. Besides the conventional RGB/YCbCr16 bit/20 bit/24 bit
signals, the plasma television also supports RGB/YCbCr30 bit/36
bit signals. This enables finer, minute colour reproduction when a
device that supports Deep Colour signals is connected to the
plasma television. When Deep Colour signals are received, the
colour depth appears on the channel display.

Problem
Possible solution
• After-image lag.
• After displaying a still image or a very bright image for a certain period of time, if the screen is then switched to a
darker scene, the previous image may appear as an after-image.
• This can be rectified by playing a rather bright moving image for several minutes. However, displaying a still image
for excessively long periods of time may cause permanent display deterioration.
• To help eliminate after-image when it occurs, display the “Video Pattern” screen. (See page 49.)
• Brightness and colour tone on both sides • If images in 4:3 mode or letterbox images are displayed for long periods or for shorter periods over several days,
differ from those in the center in 4:3 mode.
an after-image may remain due to burning. This is a characteristic of plasma televisions.
• We recommend that you enjoy watching images in a full screen mode as much as possible. (See page 46.)
