together—although they may look similar,  
different batteries may have different  
voltages.  
• Place on an unstable surface, or one that is  
not large enough to support all four of the  
unit’s feet.  
• Make sure that the plus and minus ends of  
each battery match the indications in the  
battery compartment.  
• Remove batteries from equipment that  
isn’t going to be used for a month or more.  
• When disposing of used batteries, please  
comply with governmental regulations or  
environmental public instruction’s rules  
that apply in your country or area.

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.  
Singing Your Favorite Songs  
Along with Karaoke Discs  
This player has a karaoke feature that lets you  
sing along with your favorite songs, featuring  
(a) microphone(s) jack conveniently located on  
the front panel as well as controls for mixing  
the vocal level and amount of echo effect.  
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 ꢅ (play) button.  
To use the karaoke function you must have this

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 36.  
• 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 36 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-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.

When watching Dolby Digital DVDs at low

downsampled to 48kHz if Virtual Surround  
is switched on.  
• If the player is outputting Dolby Digital,

words, no conversion to PCM), Virtual  
Surround has no effect on the audio from  
the digital output. See Digital Audio Out  
settings on page 32 for how to set up the  
digital output formats.  
How much of a difference you hear depends on  
the material you’re listening to. If the material  
doesn’t have wide variations in volume, you  
may not notice much change.

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 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.

Additional information  
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 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.
