This player is designed for use with conven-
tional, fully circular discs only. Use of shaped
discs is not recommended for this product.
Pioneer disclaims all liability arising in
connection with the use of shaped discs.
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 for CD
players 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 its perfor-
mance. For this reason you should leave it to
adjust to the warmer temperature for about
an hour before switching on and using.
Hints on installation
We want you to enjoy using this product for
years to come, so please bear in mind the
following points when choosing a suitable
location for it:
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 tempera-
tures or humidity, including near radia-
tors and other heat-generating
appliances.
• Place on a window sill or other place
where the player will be exposed to direct
sunlight.
• Use in an excessively dusty or damp envi-
ronment.
• 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
player 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 unit.
• Place on an unstable surface, or one that
is not large enough to support all four of
the unit’s feet.
Moving the player
If you need to move the player, first press
POWER
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.
Power cable caution
Handle the power cable by the plug part. Do
not pull out the plug by tugging the cable, and
never touch the power cable when your hands
are wet, as this could cause a short circuit or
electric shock. Do not place the unit, a piece
of furniture, or other object on the power
cable or pinch the cable in any other way.
Never make a knot in the cable or tie it with
other cables. The power cables should be
routed so that they are not likely to be stepped
on. A damaged power cable can cause a fire
