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

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

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

your player and discs

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

format playback compatibility

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)

discs will still be shown in letter box format.
This is not a malfunction.

Taking care of your player and
discs

General

Hold discs by the edge or by the center hole
and edge.

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 sharp­tipped writing instrument to write on the disc.

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.

This player is designed to be used only with
conventional, fully circular discs. Do not use
shaped discs. Pioneer disclaims all liability
arising in connection with the use of shaped
discs.

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.

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.

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.

36

En

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.

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.

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.

Moving the player

If you need to move the player, first press



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.

Televisions, too, come in different aspect
ratios; ‘standard’ 4:3 and widescreen 16:9.

Widescreen TV users

If you have a widescreen TV, the
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.

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.
