Important user information
In order to obtain maximum enjoyment from this Pioneer
PDP-LX6090/PDP-LX5090 flat screen TV, please first read this
information carefully.
With the Pioneer PDP-LX6090/PDP-LX5090, 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 PDP-LX6090/PDP-LX5090 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
PDP-LX6090/PDP-LX5090 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.
Installation guidelines
The Pioneer PDP-LX6090/PDP-LX5090 flat screen TV incorporates a
very thin design. To ensure safety, please take the proper measures
to mount or install the flat screen TV, 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 responsible for accident or damage caused by
the use of parts and accessories manufactured by other
companies, inadequate installation or stabilization, erroneous
operation, remodeling or natural disasters.
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 15.
• 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 turn the product upside down.
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

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.
Flat screen TV 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 flat screen
TV 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 TVs displays information using pixels. Pioneer flat screen TV
panels contain a very large number of pixels. (Depending on the
panel size; over 3.1 million pixels for a 50 inch/60 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 TVs because it is a
consequence of the technology.
If the defective pixels are visible at a normal viewing distance of
between 2.5 meters 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 flat screen TV releases infrared rays because of its
characteristics. Depending on how the flat screen TV is used, 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.
Flat screen TV driving sound
The screen of the flat screen TV 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
humming from the flat screen TV.
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
When cleaning the screen surface, gently wipe it with the supplied
dry cleaning cloth.
Caution
Rubbing hard on the screen can scratch the special film coating the
surface. If cleaning gently with the dry cloth is not enough to
remove grime, unplug the power cord from the outlet and follow the
procedure below.
1. Soak a piece of soft, untreated cloth in distilled water.
A “treated” cloth contains polish or other chemicals, such as in a
commercially available eyeglass cleaning towelette.
2. Wring out the cloth so that it is slightly damp, not wet.
Make sure to wring out the cloth completely. Cleaning the surface
with a wet cloth can allow water to seep into the unit, causing
damage.
3. Gently wipe the surface of the screen with the damp cloth.
4. Wipe the surface again using the dry cloth included with your
panel to remove any remaining dampness and to prevent
streaks.
Cleaning the glossy surface of the front cabinet
When cleaning 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, the
surface of the product will be scratched.
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.

Handles at the rear of the flat screen TV
Do not remove the handles from the rear of the flat screen TV.
When moving the flat screen TV, ask another person for help and
use the handles attached to the rear of the flat screen TV. Do not
move the flat screen TV by holding only a single handle.
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.
Fan motor noise
The rotation speed of the cooling fan motor increases when the
ambient temperature of the flat screen TV becomes high. You may
hear the sound of the fan motor at that time.
To use this product for a long period of time
The Energy Save function can maintain efficiency of the screen for
a long period of time. Setting the Energy Save function to “Mode1”
is recommended in order to maintain the efficiency of the screen for
a long period of time.
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.
After-image lagging due to remaining electrical load
When image patterns with very high peak luminance are displayed
for more than one 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.
After-image (lag image) due to burning
Avoid displaying the same image on the flat screen TV continuously
over a long period of time.
If the same image is displayed continuously for a long period, 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.
Note
• To prevent damage from screen burning this flat screen TV will
automatically - after a display time of 5 to 10 minutes - turn off
those still images generated by the system itself: the Home
Gallery function and Graphical User Interface elements such as
HOME MENU and the Electronic Programme Guide.
• To prevent screen burning, the display position is automatically
changed imperceptibly when watching flat screen TV (see
Orbiter on page 55).
Preventing damage from screen burning
• We recommend that you enjoy watching images displayed in
full screen, except when doing so may result in copyright
infringement (see page 53).
• Set the Side Mask detection function to “On”, the High
Definition 16:9 aspect ratio images containing side masks will
be detected and the side masks will be added automatically or
the image displayed in full screen, leading to more effective
countermeasures taken for the screen burning (see Detecting
side masks on page 54).

• Select the appropriate screws, hooks, cords, and other fittings
after first inspecting the surface carefully to determine its
thickness and composition and after consulting a professional
installer if necessary.
Basic connections
Connecting the antenna
To enjoy a clearer picture, use an outdoor antenna. The following is
a brief explanation of the types of connections that are used for a
coaxial cable.
Caution
• When the “Aerial Power” setting is on, directly connect the
aerial to the ANT input terminal at the rear of the flat screen TV.
Connecting any device between the aerial and flat screen TV
may cause damage to the device.
• Connect a 75-ohm coaxial cable (commercially available) to the
ANT terminal.
• If “Aerial Power” setting is enabled, use an indoor antenna with
signal amplifier, 5 V 30 mA.
Antenna cable (commercially available)
If your outdoor antenna uses a 75-ohm coaxial cable with a
standard DIN45325 plug (IEC169-2), plug it into the antenna
terminal at the rear of the flat screen TV.
Note
• If the antenna is not connected correctly, the quality of
reception may be impaired. If images are not displaying
correctly, check whether the antenna connection is correct or
not.

• The flat screen TV 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 flat screen TV.
• Depending on the installation environment, infrared rays from
the flat screen TV may not allow this system to properly receive
commands from the remote control unit or may shorten
allowable distances between the remote control unit and the
remote control sensor. The strength of infrared rays emitted
from the screen differs, depending on images displayed on the
screen.
