03 Operational Precautions PIONEER bears no responsibility for any damages 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. 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. Fan motor noise When ambient temperature of the Media Receiver becomes 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. The fan motor keeps running until the power cord of the Media Receiver is removed from a wall outlet. 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. 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 screen • When cleaning the screen of this product, gently wipe it with a soft dry 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 product, resulting in malfunction. Cleaning the cabinet • The cabinet of this product is mostly composed of plastic. 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 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. 10 En
