the FLD windows, in nearly all CE products from the onset of the 80's through today, are an acrylic plastic transparency, not Glass.
to the best of my knowledge, McIntosh Laboratory was the only CE firm that ever used actual glass in the front fascia of their components.
it was something McIntosh eventually tried to get away from, -due to the fragility of the very thin glass fascia, and thee difficulty in tooling it- but their loyal customer/fanbase would have none of that, and so McIntosh products have sported full glass front panel fascia to this day.
also, PIONEER, like pretty much every other CE firm out there, uses transparent shading sheets between the FLD tubes and their outer acrylic windows.
PIONEER, for their JAPAN and WORLD market products, stuck by a neutral dark sheet that let the FLD's natural BLUE/RED indicators shine through, much as SONY and most other Japanese CE firms did.
for whatever reason, from about 1987 through around 2002, PIONEER specified dark red shading sheets for their U.S. market products. a dark red hue that rendered the FLD's natural BLUE/RED as a YELLOW ORANGE/NATURAL ORANGE...
