Important User Guidance Information  
01  
In order to obtain maximum enjoyment from this Pioneer  
PureVision PDP-5000EX Plasma Display, please first read this  
information carefully.  
With the Pioneer PureVision PDP-5000EX, you can be assured  
of a high quality Plasma Display with long-life and high  
reliability. To achieve images of exceptional quality, this  
Pioneer Plasma Display 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 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.  
The Pioneer PureVision PDP-5000EX 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.  
• Do not fit the unit inside narrow spaces where ventilation is  
poor.  
Over the course of its lifetime, the luminosity of the Pioneer  
PDP-5000EX Plasma Display 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 for a long time, please carefully  
read and follow the usage guidances below:  
• 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 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.  
Usage guidelines  
All phosphor-based screens (including conventional tube-type  
televisions) can be affected by displaying static images for a  
prolonged period. Plasma Display’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).  
• Avoid viewing the On Screen Display for extended periods,  
from a decoder, DVD player, VCR and all other components.  
NOTE  
• 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.  
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  
• 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, always switch the display to  
“STANDBY” mode.  
Installation guidelines  
The Pioneer PureVision PDP-5000EX Plasma Display  
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.

Important User Guidance Information  
01  
Do not attach such items as labels and tape to the  
product  
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.  
• 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.  
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.  
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.  
Information of cell defect  
Plasma screens display information using cells. Pioneer  
Plasma Display panels contain a very large number of cells.  
(Depending on the panel size; over 6.2 million cells.) All  
Pioneer display panels are manufactured using a very high  
level of ultra-precision technology and undergo individual  
quality control.  
In rare cases, some cells can be permanently switched off, or  
on, resulting in either a black or colored cell permanently fixed  
on the screen.  
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.  
This effect is common to all Plasma Displays because it is a  
consequence of the technology.  
• 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.  
If the defective cells 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 color display) please  
contact the supplying dealer.  
Cleaning the cabinet  
If, however, they can only be seen close up or during single  
color displays then this is considered normal for this  
technology.  
• 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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
• 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 Guidance Information  
01  
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.  
This includes those images displayed in the following screen  
modes: multiscreen function, screen size 4:3, screen size FULL  
14:9, screen size CINEMA 14:9, screen size Dot by Dot (except  
when the input size is 1920x1080), and images with black  
bands at top/bottom or right/left.  
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 29).  
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.

screws that have a nominal diameter of 6 mm and that are at  
least 20 mm long.  
• 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.  
Recommended hook: Nominal diameter 8 mm Length 12 mm  
to 15 mm  
20 mm min.  
12 mm to 15 mm  
1 Hook  
2 Cord or chain  
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.  
Fitting  
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.

CAUTION  
Inserting batteries  
• WHEN DISPOSING OF USED BATTERIES, PLEASE  
COMPLY WITH GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS OR  
ENVIRONMENTAL PUBLIC INSTRUCTION’S RULES  
THAT APPLY IN YOUR COUNTRY/AREA.  
1
Open the battery cover.  
Allowed operation range of the remote control  
unit  
Operate the remote control unit while pointing it toward the  
remote control sensor () 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.

Cautions regarding the remote control unit  
• Do not expose the remote control unit to shock. In addition,  
do not expose the remote control unit to liquids, and do not  
place in an area with high humidity.  
• Do not install or place the remote control unit under direct  
sunlight. The heat may cause deformation of the unit.  
• The remote control unit may not work properly if the remote  
control sensor of the Plasma Display is under direct sunlight  
or strong lighting. In such case, change the angle of the  
lighting or Plasma Display, or operate the remote control  
unit closer to the remote control sensor.  
• 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 operated 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.  
Cautions regarding batteries  
Improper use of batteries can result in chemical leakage or  
explosion. Be sure to follow the instructions below.  
• When you replace the batteries, use manganese or alkaline  
ones.  
• Place the batteries with their terminals corresponding to the  
(+) and (–) indicators.  
• Do not mix batteries of different types. Different types of  
batteries have different characteristics.  
• Do not mix old and new batteries. Mixing old and new  
batteries can shorten the life of new batteries or cause  
chemical leakage in old batteries.  
• Remove batteries as soon as they have worn out. Chemicals  
that leak from batteries can cause a rash. If you find any  
chemical leakage, wipe thoroughly with a cloth.  
• The batteries supplied with this product may have a shorter  
life expectancy due to storage conditions.  
• If you will not use the remote control unit for an  
extendedperiod of time, remove the batteries from it.  
• Depending on the installation surroundings, this unit’s  
remote control unit may be influenced by the infrared rays  
discharged from the Plasma Display, hampering reception  
of its rays or limiting its operational distance. The strength of  
infrared rays discharged from the screen will differ  
according to the picture displayed.  
WARNING  
• Do not use or store betteries in direct sunlight or  
other excessively hot place, such as inside a car or  
near a heater. This can cause batteries to leak,

Connecting control cords  
About SR+  
Connect control cords between the Plasma Display and other  
PIONEER equipment having the logo. You can then operate  
the connected equipment by sending commands from its  
remote control unit to the remote control sensor on the Plasma  
Display.  
The CONTROL OUT terminal on the rear of the Plasma Display  
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 instruction  
manual that came with the PIONEER AV receiver supporting  
SR+.  
After the CONTROL IN terminals have been connected, the  
remote control sensors on the connected equipment 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.

Troubleshooting  
Problem  
Possible Solution  
• No power.  
• The Plasma Display cannot be  
switched on.  
• Is the power cord disconnected? (See page 18.)  
• Has the main power been turned on? (See page 21.)  
• The Plasma Display cannot be  
operated.  
• External influences such as lightning, static electricity, etc., may cause improper operation.  
• In this case, operate the Plasma Display after first turning off the power of the Plasma Display, or unplugging  
the power cord and re-plugging it in after 1 or 2 minutes.  
• Remote control unit does not operate. • Are batteries inserted with polarity (+, –) aligned? (See page 20.)  
• Are batteries worn out? Replace with new batteries. (See page 20.)  
• Operate the remote control unit while pointing it toward the remote control sensor on the Plasma Display.  
(See page 20.)  
• Are you using it under strong or fluorescent lighting?  
• Is a fluorescent light illuminated to remote control sensor?  
• No image and audio is presented.  
• No picture.  
• Check the cable connection with the other equipment. (See page 33 to 37.)  
• Is connection to other components correct? (See page 33 to 37.)  
• Is a non-compatible PC signal being input? (See page 37.)  
• Is the Input Select setting correct? (See page 31.)  
• Images are presented but no audio is • Check if you have selected the minimum volume. (See page 21.)  
output.  
• Check if you have muted sound. (See page 21.)  
• When using either INPUT1, INPUT4, INPUT5, or INPUT6 as the input source, conrm that the audio  
connectors have also been connected. (See page 33 to 36.)  
• Sound is reversed between the right  
and left.  
• Check if the speaker cable connections have been reversed between the right and left or if the speaker cable  
from either speaker has been disconnected. (See page 15.)  
• Sound is output from only a single  
speaker.  
• Has the balance been correctly adjusted? (See page 28.)  
• Picture is cut off.  
• Is the image position correct? (See page 30.)  
• Has the correct screen size been selected? (See pages 23 and 32.)  
• Strange color, light color, dark or color • Adjust the picture tone. (See pages 25 to 27.)  
misalignment.  
• Is the room too bright? The picture may look dark in a room that is too bright.  
• Check the color system setting. (See page 31.)  
• After-image lag  
• After displaying a still image or 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.  
• Different brightness or colors on the  
right/left, top/bottom or center of  
screen.  
• Displaying a letterbox-type image with black bands at top/bottom or right/left for extended periods of time, or  
regularly on a daily basis, may cause burning of the fluorescent materials in the plasma display, producing an  
after-image lag.  
• For this reason it is strongly recommended to select a screen size that does not produce such black bands.  
• Power is suddenly turned off.  
• Panel sounds /noises  
• The Plasma Display’s internal temperature has increased. Remove any objects blocking vent or clean. (See  
page 16.)  
• Check the power control setting. (See page 29.)  
• Panel generated sounds,examples: Fan motor noise, Electrical Circuit Humming/Glass Panel buzzing are  
normal operation of a phosphor-based matrix display.  
If the following error codes appear on the screen, check the corresponding items in the table.  
Code Message  
Check  
SD04 Powering off. Internal temperature too high.  
Check temperature around PDP.  
Check if the ambient temperature of the Plasma Display is high.
