Hints on installation

We want you to enjoy using this product for

years to come, so please use the following

guidelines when choosing a suitable location:

•

Open the battery compartment cover

and insert the batteries as shown.

Use two AA/R6P batteries and follow the

indications (ꢀ, ꢁ) inside the compartment.

Close the cover when you’re finished.

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.

Important

Incorrect use of batteries can result in hazards

such as leakage and bursting. Please observe

the following:

• Place on a window sill or a place where the

player will be exposed to direct sunlight.

• Don’t mix new and old batteries together.

• Use in an excessively dusty or damp

environment.

• Don’t use different kinds of battery

together—although they may look similar,

different batteries may have different

voltages.

• Place directly on top of an amplifier, or

other component in your stereo system

that becomes hot in use.

• Make sure that the plus and minus ends of

each battery match the indications in the

battery compartment.

• Use near a television or monitor as you may

experience interference—especially if the

television uses an indoor antenna.

• Remove batteries from equipment that

isn’t going to be used for a month or more.

• Use in a kitchen or other room where the

player may be exposed to smoke or steam.

• When disposing of used batteries, please

comply with governmental regulations or

environmental public instruction’s rules

that apply in your country or area.

This player can output progressive scan video

from the component video output. Compared

to interlace video, progressive scan video

effectively doubles the scanning rate of the

picture, resulting in a very stable, flicker-free

image.

definition television sets are fully compatible

with this product and may cause artifacts to be

displayed in the picture. In case of 525/625

progressive scan picture problems, it is

recommended that the user switch the

Basic playback controls

Resume and Last Memory

The table below shows the basic controls on

the remote for playing discs. The following

chapter covers other playback features in more

detail.

When you stop playback of a DVD, CD, Video

CD/Super VCD or DivX video discs, RESUME is

shown in the display indicating that you can

resume playback again from that point.

If the disc tray is not opened, the next time you

start playback the display shows RESUME and

playback resumes from the resume point. (If

you want to clear the resume point, press ꢇ

With DVDs and Video CD/Super VCDs, if you

take the disc out of the player after stopping

playback, the last play position is stored in

memory. If the next disc you load is the same

one, the display shows LAST MEM and

playback will resume. For DVD-Video discs, the

player stores the play position of the last five

discs. When one of these discs is next loaded,

you can resume playback.

FAQ

• After I load a DVD disc, it ejects

automatically after a few seconds!

Most likely, the disc is the wrong region for

your player. The region number should be

printed on the disc; check it against the

region number of the player (which you can

find on the rear panel). See also DVD-Video

regions on page 39.

If the region number is OK, it may be that

the disc is damaged or dirty. Clean the disc

and look for signs of damage. See also

Taking care of your player and discs on

page 37.

• Why won’t the disc I loaded play?

First check that you loaded the disc the

right way up (label side up), and that it’s

clean and undamaged. See Taking care of

your player and discs on page 37 for

information on cleaning discs.

If a disc loaded correctly won’t play, it’s

probably an incompatible format or disc

type, such as DVD-Audio or DVD-ROM. See

Disc / content format playback compatibility

on page 7 for more on disc compatibility.

• I have a widescreen TV so why are there

black bars at the top and bottom of the

screen when I play some discs?

Some movie formats are such that even

when played on a widescreen TV, black

bars are necessary at the top and bottom of

the screen. This is not a malfunction.

• I have a standard (4:3) TV and set the player

to show widescreen DVDs in pan & scan

format, so why do I still get black bars top

and bottom with some discs?

Some discs override the display

preferences of the player, so even if you

have 4:3 (Pan & Scan) selected, those

discs will still be shown in letter box format.

This is not a malfunction.

• Settings: High, Medium, Low, Off

(default)

When watching Dolby Digital DVDs at low

volume, it’s easy to lose the quieter sounds

completely—including some of the dialog.

Switching Audio DRC (Dynamic Range

Control) to on can help by bringing up the

quieter sounds, while controlling loud peaks.

Note

• Virtual Surround doesn’t work with DTS,

through either the analog or digital

outputs.

How much of a difference you hear depends on

the material you’re listening to. If the material

doesn’t have wide variations in volume, you

may not notice much change.

• 96kHz linear PCM audio is automatically

downsampled to 48kHz if Virtual Surround

is switched on.

Audio Settings and Video Adjust menus

• If the player is outputting Dolby Digital,

DTS or MPEG bitstream audio (in other

words, no conversion to PCM), Virtual

Surround has no effect on the audio from

the digital output. See Digital Audio Out

digital output formats.

Additional information

This player is designed to be used only with

Taking care of your player and

discs

conventional, fully circular discs. Do not use

shaped discs. Pioneer disclaims all liability

arising in connection with the use of shaped

discs.

General

Hold discs by the edge or by the center hole

and edge.

Cleaning discs

Fingerprints and dust on discs can affect

playback performance. Clean using a soft, dry

cloth, wiping the disc lightly from the center to

the outside edge as shown below.

When you're not using a disc, return it to its

case and store upright. Avoid leaving discs in

excessively cold, humid, or hot environments

(including under direct sunlight).

Don't glue paper or put stickers on to discs. Do

not use a pencil, ball-point pen or other sharp-

tipped writing instrument to write on the disc.

If necessary, use a cloth soaked in alcohol, or a

commercially available CD/DVD cleaning kit to

clean a disc more thoroughly. Never use

benzine, thinner or other cleaning agents,

including products designed for cleaning vinyl

records.

Don’t use self-adhesive disc labels on discs as

these can cause the disc to warp slightly

during playback causing distortion in the

picture and/or sound.

Damaged and shaped discs

Do not use cracked, chipped, warped, or

otherwise damaged discs as they may damage

the player.

Cleaning the unit’s exterior

Unplug the unit before cleaning.

Use a dry cloth to wipe off dust and dirt. If the

surfaces are very dirty, wipe with a soft cloth

dipped in some neutral cleanser diluted five or

six times with water and wrung out well, then

wipe again with a dry cloth.

Do not use furniture wax or cleaners. Never

use thinners, benzine or insecticide sprays or

other chemicals on or near this unit.

Additional information

If you use a chemical-impregnated cleaning

cloth, read the instructions carefully before

use. These cloths may leave smear marks on

half-mirror finish surfaces; if this happens,

finish with a dry cloth.

Widescreen TV users

If you have a widescreen TV, the TV Screen

setting (page 33) of this player should be set to

16:9 (Wide).

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.

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.

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.

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.

Standard TV users

If you have a standard TV, the TV Screen

setting (page 33) of this player should be set to

4:3 (Letter Box) or 4:3 (Pan&Scan),

depending on which you prefer.

Set to 4:3 (Letter Box), widescreen discs are

shown with black bars top and bottom.

Moving the player

If you need to move the player, first press

ꢂ STANDBY/ON on the front panel to turn the

player off. Wait for -OFF- to disappear from the

display, then unplug the power cable. Never lift

or move the unit during playback—discs rotate

at a high speed and may be damaged.

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.

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.

Please note that many widescreen discs

override the player’s settings so that the disc is

shown in letter box format regardless of the

setting.

Televisions, too, come in different aspect

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