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
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
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
Televisions also come in different aspect ratios; ‘standard’ 4:3 and widescreen 16:9.3
Note
1Unplugging 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. 3 Using the 16:9 (Wide) or 16:9 (Compressed) setting with a standard 4:3 TV, or one of the 4:3 settings with a widescreen TV, will result in picture distortion.
