Important user information
In order to obtain maximum enjoyment from this Pioneer KRP-
600A/KRP-500A flat screen TV, please first read this information
carefully.
With the Pioneer KRP-600A/KRP-500A, you can be assured of a
high quality flat screen TV with long-life and high reliability. To
achieve images of exceptional quality, this Pioneer flat screen TV
incorporates state-of-the-art design and construction, as well as
very precise and highly advanced technology.
The Pioneer KRP-600A/KRP-500A flat screen TV 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 display, 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 KRP-
600A/KRP-500A flat screen TV 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 flat screen TV for a long time, 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. Flat screen TVs 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 flat screen TV:
• 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 video game, the "GAME" mode setting within
"AV Selection" is strongly recommended. However, please do
not use this mode for long periods of time.
• After playing a game or displaying any 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.
• After using the flat screen TV, always switch the display to
"STANDBY" mode.
