Setting Up The Player; Setting The Tv System; Using The Setup Navigator - Pioneer DV-440 Operating Instructions Manual

Setting Up the
Player
Setting the TV System (except
for DV-533K Taiwanese model
and DV-440)
The default setting of this player is AUTO, and unless you
notice that the picture is distorted when playing some discs,
you should leave it set to AUTO.
If you experience picture distortion with some discs, set the
TV system to match your country or region's system. Doing
this, however, may restrict the kinds of disc you can watch.
The table below shows what kinds of disc are compatible
with each setting (AUTO, PAL and NTSC).

• SHRINK
Most models of the newly developed countdown PAL TV
system detect 50 Hz (PAL)/60 Hz (NTSC) and automatically
switch vertical amplitude, resulting in a display without
vertical shrinkage.
• If your PAL TV does not have a V-Hold control, you may
not be able to view NTSC disc because the picture may
roll. If the TV has a V-Hold control, adjust it until the picture
stops rolling. On some TVs, the picture may shrink
vertically, leaving black bands at the top and bottom of the
screen. This is not a malfunction; it is caused by the NTSC
= PAL conversion.

Using the Setup Navigator

The Setup Navigator has been designed to simplify the
process of getting the DVD player ready to perform.
Designed as a series of on-screen multiple-choice questions,
the Setup Navigator automatically sets the audio, video, and
language settings according to how the questions are
answered. Once this procedure is complete, it will be
possible to begin using the DVD player to enjoy DVDs.
The procedure on this page describes the operations
necessary to function within the Setup Navigator screens. A
detailed description of the contents of each question that
appears on the screen can be found on the following pages.
When setting up for the first time
Some DVDs start playing automatically when loaded in the
player. Because the Setup Navigator cannot be used if a disc
is playing, it is recommended to set up the player using the
Setup Navigator before loading a DVD for the first time. If a
DVD has been loaded, be sure to press STOP 7 before
proceeding.
