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.

 

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 the player, first press 

 

 

 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.

 

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.

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 31) 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.

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.

 

Standard TV users

 

If you have a standard TV, the 

 

TV Screen

 

 

setting (page 31) 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.

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.

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.
