Putting the batteries in the remote  
Hints on installation  
We want you to enjoy using this product for  
years to come, so please use the following  
guidelines when choosing a suitable location:  
•
Open the battery compartment cover  
and insert the batteries as shown.  
Use two AA/R6P batteries and follow the  
indications (ꢀ, ꢁ) inside the compartment.  
Close the cover when you’re finished.  
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  
temperatures or humidity, including near  
radiators and other heat-generating  
appliances.  
Important  
Incorrect use of batteries can result in hazards  
such as leakage and bursting. Please observe  
the following:  
• Place on a window sill or a place where the  
player will be exposed to direct sunlight.  
• Don’t mix new and old batteries together.  
• Use in an excessively dusty or damp  
environment.  
• Don’t use different kinds of battery  
together—although they may look similar,  
different batteries may have different  
voltages.  
• Place directly on top of an amplifier, or  
other component in your stereo system  
that becomes hot in use.  
• Make sure that the plus and minus ends of  
each battery match the indications in the  
battery compartment.  
• Use near a television or monitor as you may  
experience interference—especially if the  
television uses an indoor antenna.  
• Remove batteries from equipment that  
isn’t going to be used for a month or more.  
• Use in a kitchen or other room where the  
player may be exposed to smoke or steam.  
• When disposing of used batteries, please  
comply with governmental regulations or  
environmental public instruction’s rules  
that apply in your country or area.  
• 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.

equipment). This should give you the best  
quality picture from the three types of video  
output available.  
Note

Consumers should note that not all high-  
definition television sets are fully compatible  
with this product and may cause artifacts to be  
displayed in the picture. In case of 525  
progressive scan picture problems, it is  
recommended that the user switch the  
connection to the ‘standard definition’ output  
(Interlace). If there are questions regarding our  
TV set compatibility with this model, please

one monitor simultaneously, make sure  
the player is set to Interlace.  
• If you connect a TV that is not compatible  
with a progressive scan signal and switch  
the player to progressive, you will not be  
able to see any picture at all. In this case,  
switch everything off and reconnect using  
the supplied video cable (see Easy

Video CD/Super VCD PBC menus  
Some Video CD/Super VCDs have menus from  
which you can choose what you want to watch.  
These are called PBC (Playback control)  
menus.  
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 37.  
You can play a PBC Video CD/Super VCD  
without having to navigate the PBC menu by  
starting playback using a number button to  
select a track, rather than the ꢆ (play) button.  
1
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

If a disc loaded correctly won’t play, it’s

Numbers

• I have a standard (4:3) TV and set the player

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.

This player is designed to be used only with  
Taking care of your player and  
discs  
conventional, fully circular discs. Do not use  
shaped discs. Pioneer disclaims all liability  
arising in connection with the use of shaped  
discs.  
General  
Hold discs by the edge or by the center hole  
and edge.  
Cleaning discs  
Fingerprints and dist on discs can affect  
playback performance. Clean using a soft, dry  
cloth, wiping the disc lightly from the center to  
the outside edge as shown below.  
When you're not using a disc, return it to its  
case and store upright. Avoid leaving discs in  
excessively cold, humid, or hot environments  
(including under direct sunlight).  
Don't glue paper or put stickers on to discs. Do  
not use a pencil, ball-point pen or other sharp-  
tipped writing instrument to write on the disc.  
If necessary, use a cloth soaked in alcohol, or a  
commercially available CD/DVD cleaning kit to  
clean a disc more thoroughly. Never use  
benzine, thinner or other cleaning agents,  
including products designed for cleaning vinyl  
records.  
Don’t use self-adhesive disc labels on discs as  
these can cause the disc to warp slightly  
during playback causing distortion in the  
picture and/or sound.  
Damaged and shaped discs  
Do not use cracked, chipped, warped, or  
otherwise damaged discs as they may damage  
the player.  
Cleaning the unit’s exterior  
Unplug the unit before cleaning.  
Use a dry cloth to wipe off dust and dirt. If the  
surfaces are very dirty, wipe with a soft cloth  
dipped in some neutral cleanser diluted five or  
six times with water and wrung out well, then  
wipe again with a dry cloth.  
Do not use use furniture wax or cleaners.  
Never use thinners, benzine or insecticide  
sprays or other chemicals on or near this unit.

08  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
Moving the player  
If you need to move the player, first press  
ꢂ 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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
Televisions, too, come in different aspect  
ratios; ‘standard’ 4:3 and widescreen 16:9.
