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. We
do not recommend using commercially
available lens cleaners for CD players.

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 its
performance. Leave it to adjust to the warmer
temperature for about an hour before
switching on.

Moving the player

If you need to move this unit, first remove the
disc, if there's one loaded, and close the disc
tray. Next, press

STANDBY/ON to switch

the power to standby, checking that the

-OFF-

indication in the display goes off. Lastly,
disconnect the power cord.

Never lift or move the unit during playback —
discs rotate at a high speed and may be
damaged.

Caution for when the unit is
installed in a rack with a glass door

Do not press the

OPEN/CLOSE button on

the remote control to open the disc table while
the glass door is closed. The door will hamper
movement of the disc table, and the disc table
could be damaged.

Screen sizes and disc formats

DVD-Video discs come in several different
screen aspect ratios, ranging from TV
programs, which are generally 4:3, to
CinemaScope widescreen movies, with an
aspect ratio of up to about 7:3.

Televisions, too, come in different aspect
ratios; ‘standard’ 4:3 and widescreen 16:9.

Widescreen TV users

If you have a widescreen TV, the

TV Screen

setting (page 41) of this player should be set to

16:9 (Wide)

or

16:9 (Compressed)

.

When you watch discs recorded in 4:3 format
with the

16:9 (Wide)

setting, 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.

Please note that some movie aspect ratios are
wider than 16:9, so even though you have a
widescreen TV, these discs will still play in a
‘letter box’ style with black bars at the top and
bottom of the screen.
