Additional information
 Use on a thick rug or carpet, or cover with cloth
— this may prevent proper cooling of the system
unit.
 Place on an unstable surface, or one that is not
large enough to support all four of the system
unit's feet.

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 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 performance.
Leave it to adjust to the warmer temperature
for about an hour before switching on.

Moving the system unit

If you need to move the main unit, first remove
a disc if there's one in the player, then press
 STANDBY/ON on the front panel to turn the
system off. Wait for GOOD BYE to disappear
from the display, then unplug the power cord.
Never lift or move the unit during playback —
discs rotate at high speeds and may damage.
Note
1 Unplugging the unit before GOOD BYE disappears from the display may cause the system to return to the factory settings.
2 Many widescreen discs override the system's settings so that the disc is shown in letterbox format regardless of the setting.
3 • Using the 16:9 (Wide) setting with a standard 4:3 TV, or one of the 4:3 settings with a widescreen TV, will result in distortion.
• 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.
• Some movie aspect ratios are wider than 16:9, so even with a widescreen TV, these discs will still play in a 'letterbox' style.

Screen sizes and disc formats

DVD-Video discs come in different screen
aspects, ranging from TV programs, which are
generally 4:3, to CinemaScope widescreen
2
movies , with an aspect ratio of up to about 7:3.
Televisions also come in different aspect
ratios; 'standard' 4:3 and widescreen 16:9.
Set to 4:3 (Letter Box), widescreen
discs are shown with black bars top
and bottom.
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.
