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 this won’t damage the player, it may
temporarily impair performance. You should
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.

Resetting the system

Use this procedure to reset all system settings
to the factory default. Use the front panel
controls to do this.

With the system switched on, press

STANDBY/ON

while holding down the

(stop) button.

The system switches to standby, and the next
time you switch on, all the system’s settings
will be reset.

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.

Using the language code list

Some of the language options (see

Language

settings

on page 29) allow you to set your

preferred language from any of the 136
languages listed in the

Language code list

.

1

2

Use

/

(cursor left/right) to select

either a code letter or a code number.

3

Use

/

code letter or a code number.

See the

Language code list

(next page) for a

complete list of languages and codes.

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.
