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.

Installation and maintenance

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.

Televisions also come in different aspect

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

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.

Set to 4:3 (Letter Box), widescreen
discs are shown with black bars top
and bottom.
