Important User Guidance Information
In order to obtain maximum enjoyment from this Pioneer
PureVision PDP-506XDE/PDP-436XDE Plasma Display
System, please first read this information carefully.
With the Pioneer PureVision PDP-506XDE/PDP-436XDE, 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.
The Pioneer PureVision PDP-506XDE/PDP-436XDE
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.
Over the course of its lifetime, the luminosity of the Pioneer
PDP-506XDE/PDP-436XDE 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 a long time, please carefully read and follow the
usage guidances 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 System’s 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).
Do not display Teletext for a prolonged period of time.
Avoid viewing the On Screen Display for extended periods,
from a decoder, 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 more than 3 times the
length of the previous still moving image.
After using the Plasma Display System, always switch the
display to “STANDBY” mode.
Installation guidelines
The Pioneer PureVision PDP-506XDE/PDP-436XDE 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, 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
16.
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
hazardous occurrences.
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.
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:
Permanent residual images upon the phosphors of the
panel.
The existence of a minute number of inactive light cells.
Panel generated sounds, examples: Fan motor noise, and
electrical circuit humming / glass panel buzzing

Important User Guidance Information
01
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.
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 protection function of the
Plasma Display 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.
Information of pixel defect
Plasma screens display information using pixels. Pioneer
plasma display panels contain a very large number of pixels.
(Depending on the panel size; over 2.3 million cells in case of a
43 inch display, over 2.9 million pixels in case of a 50 inch
display, over 3.1 million cells in case of a 61 inch display). All
Pioneer display panels are manufactured using a very high
level of ultra-precision technology and undergo individual
quality control.
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.
This effect is common to all plasma displays because it is a
consequence of the technology.
If the defective pixels are visible at a normal viewing distance
of between 2.5 and 3.5 meters whilst viewing a normal
broadcast (i.e. not a test card, still image or single colour
display) please contact the supplying dealer.
If, however, they can only be seen close up or during single
colour displays then this is considered normal for this
technology.
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 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.
Plasma Display driving sound
The screen of the Plasma Display is composed of extremely
fine pixels and these pixels emit light according to received
video signals. This principle may make you hear buzz sound or
electrical circuit hamming from the Plasma Display.
Also note that the rotation speed of the cooling fan motor
increases when the ambient temperature of the Media
Receiver becomes high. You may hear the sound of the fan
motor at that time.
Do not attach such items as labels and tape to the
product.
This may result in the discolouration 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.
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 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 and the glossy
surface of the front cabinet
When cleaning the surface of the screen or 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 or
if you rub the screen hard, the surface of the product will be
scratched.
If you clean the surface of the screen with a wet cloth, water
droplets on the surface may enter into the product, resulting
in malfunction.
Cleaning the cabinet
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.
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.
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
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 product, 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.
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.

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.
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 38).
CAUTION
The compatibility of this product with digital terrestrial
services has been fixed - details described in the product
specifications - at the time of its introduction.
If you want to dispose this product, do not mix it with general household waste. There is a separate collection system for used electronic products in
accordance with legislation that requires proper treatment, recovery and recycling.
Private households in the 25 member states of the EU, in Switzerland and Norway may return their used electronic products free of charge to designated collection
facilities or to a retailer (if you purchase a similar new one).
For countries not mentioned above, please contact your local authorities for the correct method of disposal.
By doing so you will ensure that your disposed product undergoes the necessary treatment, recovery and recycling and thus prevent potential negative effects on the
environment and human health.

22. Unplug the power cord from the AC outlet before installing
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 discolouration or
warp.
25. The Plasma Display weighs about 31.8 kg (70.1 lbs.) for the
PDP-506PE and about 25.8 kg (56.9 lbs.) for the PDP-
436PE. Because it has small depth and is unstable,
unpack, carry, and install the product with one more
person at least and use the handles.

Installation Precautions
Observe the following precautions when installing with any items such as the optional stand.
When using the optional stand, brackets, or equivalent items
Ask your dealer to perform the installation.
Be sure to use the supplied bolts.
For details, see the instruction manual that comes with the optional stand (or equivalent items).
When using other items
Consult your dealer.
The following six mounting holes can be used for the installation:
CAUTION
Be sure to use four or more mounting holes symmetrical to the vertical and horizontal median lines.
Use M8 screws, which go 12 to 18 mm in depth from the mounting surface of the Plasma Display. See the side view above.
Be careful not to block the ventilation opening at the rear of the Plasma Display.
Be sure to install the Plasma Display on a flat surface because it contains glass.
The screw holes other than the above are to be used only for the specified products. Never use them for mounting non-specified
products.
Do not mount or remove the Plasma Display to or from the stand, with speakers attached.
NOTE
It is strongly recommended to use the optional PIONEER mounting products.
PIONEER shall not be liable for any personal injury or product damage that results from the use of mounting items other than
the optional PIONEER products.

Installing the Plasma Display
Location
Avoid direct sunlight. Maintain adequate ventilation.
The length of the system cable used to connect the Plasma
Display and the Media Receiver is about 3 m.
Because the Plasma Display is heavy, be sure to have
someone help you when moving it.
CAUTION
If you place anything on the top of the Media Receiver it will
not receive enough ventilation and will not operate properly.
NOTE
Allow enough space around the upper and back parts when
installing to ensure adequate ventilation of the rear of the
unit.
Using the optional PIONEER stand
For details on installation, refer to the instruction manual
supplied with the stand.
Using the optional PIONEER speakers
For details on installation, refer to the instruction manual
supplied with the speaker.
CAUTION
Operating Environment
Operating environment temperature and humidity:
+0°C to +40°C; less than 85% RH (cooling vents not blocked)
Do not install this unit in a poorly ventilated area, or in
locations exposed to high humidity or direct sunlight (or strong
artificial light)
Installing the Media Receiver
CAUTION
Do not place a VCR or any other device on the top
of the Media Receiver.
When installing, allow enough space on the sides
and above the Media Receiver.
Do not block the side ventilation opening or the
rear exhaust opening of the Media Receiver.

Preventing the Plasma Display from Falling Over
After installing the stand, be sure to take special care to ensure that the Plasma Display will not fall over.
Stabilizing on a table or floor
Stabilize the Plasma Display as shown in the diagram using
screws that are available on the market.
NOTE
To stabilize the Plasma Display on a table or on the floor, use
screws that have a nominal diameter of 6 mm and that are at
least 20 mm long.
CAUTION
A table or an area of the floor with adequate strength should
always be used to support the Plasma Display. Failure to do so
could result in personal injury and physical damage.
When installing the Plasma Display, please take the necessary
safety measures to prevent it from falling or overturning in case
of emergencies, such as earthquakes, or of accidents.
If you do not take these precautions, the Plasma Display could
fall down and cause injury.
The screws, hooks, chains and other fittings that you use to
secure the Plasma Display to prevent it from overturning will
vary according to the composition and thickness of the surface
to which it will be attached.
Select the appropriate screws, hooks, chains, and other fittings
after first inspecting the surface carefully to determine its
thickness and composition and after consulting a professional
installer if necessary.
Using a wall for stabilization
1. Attach falling prevention bolts (hooks) to
the Plasma Display.
2. Use strong cords or chains to stabilize it
appropriately and firmly to a wall, pillar, or
other sturdy element.
Perform this work in the same way on the left and right sides.
NOTE
Use hooks, ropes, chains, and fittings that are available on the
market.
