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 this won’t damage the player, it may
temporarily impair performance. You should
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.
1
Never lift or move the unit during playback—
discs rotate at high speeds and may damage.
Resetting the system
Use this procedure to reset all system settings
to the factory default. Use the front panel
controls to do this.
• With the system switched on, press
STANDBY/ON
while holding down the
(stop) button.
The system switches to standby, and the next
time you switch on, all the system’s settings
will be reset.
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
movies
2
, with an aspect ratio of up to about 7:3.
Televisions also come in different aspect
ratios; ‘standard’ 4:3 and widescreen 16:9.

Using the language code list
Some of the language options (see
Language
settings
on page 29) allow you to set your
preferred language from any of the 136
languages listed in the
Language code list
.
1 Select ‘Other Language’.
2 Use
/
(cursor left/right) to select
either a code letter or a code number.
3 Use
/
(cursor up/down) to select a
code letter or a code number.
See the
Language code list
(next page) for a
complete list of languages and codes.
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.
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.
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.
