2 The Natural Colour of Black

3 PURE Vision Black The realism and detail within a picture significantly depends on the reproduction of black. PURE Vision Black Pioneer's new "PURE Black Panel" driven by "PURE Drive " offers revolutionary levels of black in darker scenes. By reproducing all of the details in darker areas, you will see parts of your favourite film which you never knew existed and experience the movie as intended by the film's director. With this technology, Pioneer has once again set the benchmark in realistic colour reproduction your eyes will tell the difference.

4 Home theatre has never been better Combining impressive size and breathtaking image quality, PureVision plasma television presents movies, sports events, and television shows on a truly grand scale. Whether you're watching DVDs or live events, Pioneer New Plasma TV has never looked so bright, clear, and realistic.

5 Key Features (PDP-506HDG / PDP-436HDG) * A Pure Black Panel, embedded with a revolutionary Crystal Emissive Layer, will realise 'Pure' Black details and has also dramatically improved the dark room contrast ratio. * The newly developed Flex CLEAR Drive has dramatically improved colours and gradation. In real life this means that the latest Pioneer PDP displays will shows up to 5 times more detail than the previous models. * Direct Colour Filter with reduced reflections has improved the bright room contrast ratio and reduced multiple reflections of ambient light. * Pioneer always strives to offer the ultimate in digital home entertainment. The PDP panel, media receiver and speaker(s) are separated thereby offering you a higher level of installation freedom. * Low Power Consumption rate realised by efficient emission technologies such as Crystal Emissive Layer, Direct Colour Filter & Deep Encased Cell structure. 5 * The Wide Range technology has further improved the sound quality of the plasma speakers. It guarantees a clear and lively sound while enjoying your favourite movie, sports event or TV show. *PDP-S37 side speakers are optional PDP-436HDG 43" 16:9 High-Definition Plasma Television Brightness: 1,100 cd/m 2 Contrast Ratio: 3,000 : 1 Power Consumption (Total System): 311 W , Depth Depth 92

6 PURE Black Panel Pioneer is a technology leader in High-Definition PDP manufacturing. The following exclusive technologies create sharp and realistic images, full of contrast and detail. Crystal Emissive Layer The image quality of the Plasma Display Panel has been revolutionarily improved by using the Newly Developed Pioneer "Pure Black Panel". This Crystal Emissive Layer has increased the luminous efficiency to 22%* compared to previous models, and achieved 4,000 to 1 (50") as well as 3,000 to 1 (43") in contrast ratio. The exceptional contrast makes black even blacker. * Compared to previous 50" Pioneer Plasma televisions. Comparison of Previous and New Cell Structure Direct Colour Filter The Pioneer original "direct colour filter" is the result of removing the glass plate from the front filter and combining the films. This filter structure can be directly attached to the plasma panel, significantly improving the focus through multiple reflections of ambient light and plasma light generated between the conventional glass front filter and the plasma panel. With the newly improved front filter, reflection of ambient light is reflected without compromising colour purity. Brightness contrast has also increased, leading to a further improvement in coloration and reproducibility of colours. The sharp black colour of an image can be reproduced even in a bright living room.

Specifications and design subject to modification without notice. Plasma Display Systems display images consisting of hundreds of thousands of minute pixels (light emitting cells), and there is a possibility of inactive, flashing or continually illuminated pixels. All phosphor-based display systems (Cathode Ray Television Systems, both direct view televisions and projection televisions as well as plasma display systems) may possibly have image retention, also known as burn-in. Recommended guidelines are as follows: Do not display static images for long periods (such as still images, fixed images from PC or TV game equipment, and/or fixed images such as time of day indicator or channel logo display). Do not display content in the 4:3 aspect ratio (black or grey bars on left and right side of content) or letter-box content (black bars above and below of content) for extended periods of time, or use either of these viewing modes repeatedly within a short period of time. This Plasma Display System is equipped with multiple wide-screen viewing modes; use one of these screen modes to fill the entire screen with content. Displaying dark images after displaying still images for a period of time may cause image retention. In most cases, the image retention can be corrected by displaying bright images for a similar period of time. However, if your Plasma Display System displays still images for additional long periods of time, image retention may be irreparable. Plasma Display Systems emit slight amounts of IR (Infrared Emission) through luminous discharge technology. This IR (Infrared Emission) is not harmful to living organisms, but may interfere with the operation of remote controls for other equipment, or cause static in equipment using IR (Infrared Emission) (such as cordless headphones or cordless microphones). Plasma Display Systems may have a negative effect on sound or images coming from AM radios, PCs or video-related products. Plasma Display Systems are made of glass; be sure to secure it from damage from impact. Plasma Display Systems, while in use, may generate some functional sounds, for example: fan motor noise, and electrical circuit humming/glass panel buzzing. The Plasma Display System Media Receiver uses an on-board cooling fan. If the ambient temperature of the Media Receiver becomes high, the speed of the cooling fan increases and it may sound louder than normal during the cooling period. To connect a DVI/HDCP compatible device to the HDMI connector, a conversion cable or adaptor is necessary. Please note that DVI does not feature audio transfer. This unit has been designed to be compliant with HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) version Depending on the component you have connected, using a DVI connection may result in unreliable signal transfers.
