6071HD/PDP-5071HD/PDP-4271HD/PDP-6070HD/PDP-
5070HD/PDP-4270HD Plasma Display System, please first 
read this information carefully. 
With the Pioneer PureVision PDP-6072HD/PDP-5072HD/PDP-
4272HD/PDP-6071HD/PDP-5071HD/PDP-4271HD/PDP-
6070HD/PDP-5070HD/PDP-4270HD, 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.

4272HD/PDP-6071HD/PDP-5071HD/PDP-4271HD/PDP-
6070HD/PDP-5070HD/PDP-4270HD incorporates the latest in 
color filter technology – Direct Color Filter. This improves the 
color / 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

4270HD 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. 
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.
• Extensive viewing of content with top, bottom, or side masks 
may cause uneven wear. After viewing masked content, it is 
recommended to view full screen motion video for an equal 
or greater amount of time.
Installation guidelines

4272HD/PDP-6071HD/PDP-5071HD/PDP-4271HD/PDP-
6070HD/PDP-5070HD/PDP-4270HD 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:
• Distance the unit slightly from other equipment, walls, etc. 
• 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.
• Do not invert 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 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.
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
