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.

with this product and may cause artifacts to be
displayed in the picture. In case of 525/625

Basic playback controls
Resume and Last Memory
The table below shows the basic controls on
the remote for playing discs. The following
chapter covers other playback features in more
detail.
When you stop playback of a DVD, CD, Video
CD/Super VCD or DivX video discs, RESUME is
shown in the display indicating that you can
resume playback again from that point.
If the disc tray is not opened, the next time you
start playback the display shows RESUME and
playback resumes from the resume point. (If
you want to clear the resume point, press ꢇ

playback, the last play position is stored in
memory. If the next disc you load is the same

playback will resume. For DVD-Video discs, the
player stores the play position of the last five
discs. When one of these discs is next loaded,
you can resume playback.

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 39.
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 37.
• 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 37 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.

Additional information
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 dust 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 furniture wax or cleaners. Never
use thinners, benzine or insecticide sprays or
other chemicals on or near this unit.

Additional information
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 33) 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 33) 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.
