DVD Video regions

All DVD Video discs carry a region mark that
indicates which region(s) of the world the disc
is compatible with. Your DVD system also has
a region mark (on the rear panel). Discs from
incompatible regions will not play in this
player. Discs marked

ALL play in any player.

When you insert a disc that cannot be played
on this player, one of the following messages is
displayed:

Incompatible disc region number

Can’t play disc

Hints on installation

We want you to enjoy using this system for
years to come, so please bear in mind the
following points when choosing a location:

Do...

 Use in a well-ventilated room.

Place on a solid, flat, level surface, such as a
table, shelf or stereo rack

.

Don’t...

 Use in a place exposed to high temperatures or

humidity, including near radiators and other
heat-generating appliances.

 Place on a window sill or other place where the

system will be exposed to direct sunlight.

 Use in an excessively dusty or damp

environment.

 Place directly on top of an amplifier, or other

component in your stereo system that becomes
hot in use.

 Use near a television or monitor as you may

experience interference — especially if the
television uses an indoor antenna.

 Use in a kitchen or other room where the system

may be exposed to smoke or steam.

 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.

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.
