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.

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.

Moving the player

If you need to move this unit, first remove the disc, if there's one loaded, and close the disc tray. Next, press  STANDBY/ON to switch the power to standby, checking that the -OFF-indication in the display goes off. Lastly, disconnect the power cord.

Never lift or move the unit during playback — discs rotate at a high speed and may be damaged.

Screen sizes and disc formats 09

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.

Televisions, too, come in different aspect ratios; ‘standard’ 4:3 and widescreen 16:9.

Widescreen TV users

If you have a widescreen TV, the TV Screen setting (page 39) of this player should be set to 16:9 (Wide) or 16:9 (Compressed).

When you watch discs recorded in 4:3 format with the 16:9 (Wide) setting, 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.

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.

Caution for when the unit is installed in a rack with a glass door

Do not press the  OPEN/CLOSE button on the remote control to open the disc table while the glass door is closed. The door will hamper movement of the disc table, and the disc table could be damaged.
