 Use on a thick rug or carpet, or cover with cloth

— this may prevent proper cooling of the system
unit.

 Place on an unstable surface, or one that is not

large enough to support all four of the system
unit’s feet.

Cleaning the pickup lens

The DVD player’s lens should not become dirty
in normal use, but if for some reason it should
malfunction due to dust or dirt, consult your
nearest Pioneer authorized service center.
Although lens cleaners are commercially
available, we do not recommend using them
since some may damage the lens.

Problems with condensation

Condensation may form inside the player if it is
brought into a warm room from outside, or if
the temperature of the room rises quickly.
Although the condensation won’t damage the
player, it may temporarily impair performance.
Leave it to adjust to the warmer temperature
for about an hour before switching on.

Moving the system unit

If you need to move the main unit, first remove
a disc if there’s one in the player, then press
STANDBY/ON on the front panel to turn the
system off. Wait for

GOOD BYE to disappear

from the display, then unplug the power cord.

1

Never lift or move the unit during playback —
discs rotate at high speeds and may damage.

Screen sizes and disc formats

DVD-Video discs come in different screen
aspects, ranging from TV programs, which are
generally 4:3, to CinemaScope widescreen

movies

2

, with an aspect ratio of up to about 7:3.

Televisions also come in different aspect

ratios; ‘standard’ 4:3 and widescreen 16:9.

Note

1 Unplugging the unit before

GOOD BYE disappears from the display may cause the system to return to the factory settings.

2 Many widescreen discs override the system’s settings so that the disc is shown in letterbox format regardless of the setting.

Set to

4:3 (Letter Box), widescreen

discs are shown with black bars top
and bottom.

Set to

4:3 (Pan&Scan), widescreen

discs are shown with the left and right
sides cropped. Although the picture
looks larger, you don’t actually see
the whole picture.

3 • Using the

16:9 (Wide) setting with a standard 4:3 TV, or one of the 4:3 settings with a widescreen TV, will result in distortion.

• When you watch discs recorded in 4:3 format, you can use the TV controls to select how the picture is presented. Your TV

may offer various zoom and stretch options; see the instructions that came with your TV for details.

• Some movie aspect ratios are wider than 16:9, so even with a widescreen TV, these discs will still play in a ‘letterbox’ style.
