There's noticeable screen burn after playing 2 hours of non full screen DVDs with side bars on my Pioneer plasma TV. Is this normal and nothing to be concerned about? Should I do the "full white" to get rid of the screen burn after every viewing? Thanks!

if so you should , make sure you are watching is completely filling up the screen by using the full mode option .idid this with mine ,, and yes some thigns and depending on sources , som epeople looked wider than others , but i putup with it for 100 + hours.
also , ifyour set is new , you shouldn't worry too much about the burn in issue,, most new set have a wash or somethign like it in the menu where you can run for botu 30 mins to a hour , to get rid of any image rentetion ,,
also , and i agrre with the poster below,, i would first , calibrated it ,, cause if you are using the factory settings,, i willing to bet it is set to "torch" mode,, dial it in m, and you will have many or uears of flatscreen.plasma goodness.
good luck ,,

Have you used GetGray, Digital Video Essentials or Avia to set the display up to provide a proper picture? If not, you really need to do it.As for the burn-in, just watch material that fills the screen for a while. Most, if not all of it, will go away fairly quickly. All brand new plasmas exhibit this, but even well used models can show this use. Different manufacturers' plasma displays seem to retain the divisions from watching 4:3 material in OAR than others (ie; NEC shows more retention than Panasonic).
If it's not gone after a day or so, check the manual for procedures in using the white bar patterns, reversal patterns, etc to clean up the image retention. But I doubt you'll need this if it was only for a few hours.
