Pioneer DV-585K-s operating instructions When howling occurs, Why won’t the disc I loaded play?

04Getting started

Note

•You can adjust the HIGH tone in a range of five steps and the LOW tone in a range of five steps.

•If the microphone level is too high, the sound may distort. In this case, lower the volume.

When “howling” occurs

If sound from the speakers is picked up by a mic and output again through the speakers, the result is a screeching sound known as “howling”.

To eliminate howling:

•Point the mic away from the speakers.

•Move the mic away from the speakers.

•Turn VOLUME counterclockwise to lower the volume level.

•Turn ECHO counterclockwise to lower the echo effect.

Note

•Reduce the volume when plugging in the microphone to prevent feedback.

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 40.

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 38.

•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 38 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.
