INTRODUCTION

Cautions on Using this Player

Do not move the player during playback

During playback, the disc spins at high speed, so do not lift or move the player. Doing so may damage the disc.

When transporting the player

Be sure to remove the disc and close the lid when transporting the player. Also slide the power switch to turn off the power, then unplug the power cord once “OFF” on the display window turns off and the power indicator (red) lights. Transporting the player with a

INTRODUCTION

disc loaded may result in damage.

Place of installation

•Select a stable place near the TV or stereo system to which you are going to connect the player.

•Do not place the player on top of a TV or color monitor. Install the player away from cassette decks or other devices which are easily affected by magnetic forces.

Do not place objects on top of the player

Do not place any objects on top of the player.

Turn off the power when not using the player

Depending on the TV reception conditions, stripes may appear on the TV screen when the TV is turned on while the player’s power is on. This is not a malfunction of the player or the TV. If this should happen, turn off the player’s power. Noise may also be generated in the sound of a radio when the player’s power is on.

Special note regarding use of player in vehicles

• We strongly advise against using the player while driving.

• Most countries and states have laws which prohibit or severely restrict the use of the player in vehicles while driving.

• Do not leave the player or the battery pack in places where the temperature is extremely low (about –10°C or lower) or extremely high (about 60°C or higher), such as inside the passenger cabin or trunk in midsummer. Doing so may warp the outer case or reduce the performance or quality of the battery pack.

When carrying on planes

Heed the airline company’s rules.

When carrying in hospitals

Heed the hospital’s rules.

Cautions on Using this Player

Cleaning the player

Normally clean the player using a soft, dry cloth. For tough dirt, apply some neutral detergent diluted in 5 to 6 parts water to a soft cloth, wring out thoroughly, wipe off the dirt, then wipe off the player with a dry cloth. Note that alcohol, thinner, benzene, insecticides, etc., may cause the print or coating to peel off. Also avoid leaving rubber or plastic products in contact with the player for long periods of time, as this may damage the cabinet. When using chemically treated cloths, read the cloth’s instructions carefully. Always unplug the power cord from the power outlet before cleaning the player.

To clean dirt off the liquid crystal display, wipe the display gently with a soft, dry cloth (such as an eyeglass cleaning cloth). Note that leaving water droplets on the display for long periods of time may result in discoloration or stains. For tough dirt, use a commercially available liquid crystal display cleaner.

Copyrights

Unauthorized duplication, broadcast, public performance or rental of discs is prohibited by law.

INTRODUCTION

Precautions for Battery Pack Operation (PDV-LC10)

Operation of the battery pack

• Charge the battery pack fully before using it for the first time.

• When the surrounding temperature is

INTRODUCTION

high, the battery pack may sometimes be unusable due to activation of protection circuitry.

• When the portable DVD player is powered from the battery pack and if the player has not been operated for about 5 minutes with the power switched on, the player will turn off automatically. (Auto power OFF)

• During battery pack operation, the display of the portable DVD player may become dim. This is to save power and is not a malfunction.

• The battery pack becomes hot after use and the portable DVD player also becomes hot during use. This is not malfunction.

• When the battery pack is not to be used for a long period, be sure to remove it from the portable DVD player. If the battery pack is left attached, continual flow of weak current renders it overdischarged and eventually unusable even when you try to charge it later.

• If the portable DVD player is switched on while the battery pack is not fully charged, the operation may sometimes be unstable. Be sure to charge the battery pack fully before use.

Storage

• The battery pack should be stored under an surrounding temperature between 15 and 25°C. Avoid storing it under extremely low temperatures, in a place with high temperature and high humidity or in a place subject to soot, etc.

• When the battery pack is stored for a long period, at least once an year it is recommended to discharge it fully on the portable DVD player, recharge it fully and store it again.

Service life and disposal

• When the charging time or available operation time becomes extremely short, the battery may be reaching the end of its life. The battery pack can be used for about 300 cycles of recharging and operations.

• To dispose of a used battery pack, wrap a piece of tape around the terminal section and treat it in compliance with your local regulations.

To extend the service life of the battery pack

The battery pack incorporates nickelhydrogen cells. To extend its service life, it is recommended to discharge it fully before every recharging.

•The discs listed on the table below can be played on this player without an adapter.

•Discs other than the ones listed below cannot be played on this player.

Types of Discs Playable on this Player

DVDs are divided in units called titles, which are further divided in chapters. They also include menu screens that do not belong to any title. With movies, normally one movie corresponds to one title. On karaoke discs, one song corresponds to one title. Some discs are not divided in this way, however, so be careful when using the search and programming functions.

Disc operation

With some DVDs it is intentionally prohibited to change the operating method or to perform certain operations. Because of this, operating procedures may differ for different discs and for some discs certain operations may not be possible. With Pioneer DVD players, a mark indicating the operation is prohibited (“prohibition mark”) is displayed on the screen when the user attempts to perform a prohibited operation. In addition, with discs on which interactive operations are possible on menus or during playback, the data on the disc is branched rather than continuous, so some operations (repeat, programming, etc.) may not be possible. In such cases, Pioneer DVD players display a prohibition mark.

Using the Battery

Recharging the battery pack (PDV-LC10 only)

Recharge the battery pack as described below.

BEFORE USING

CHARGE

Recharge lamp

Connect the power cord to the battery charger.

Connect the power plug to the power outlet.

Fit the battery pack into the battery charger.

Fit sections 1 then 2 securely.

• When recharging starts, the recharge lamp lights in red. If the recharge lamp blinks, the battery pack is not being recharged; wait a while before trying to recharge again.

• The recharge lamp goes out when recharging completes. After confirming that the lamp is extinguished, remove the battery pack and power cord.

• Recharging usually completes in about 2 hours 30 minutes, though this is variable depending on the operating conditions.

Notes on the battery pack

Charger (VWY 1060)

Note:

The battery charger is compatible with supply voltages between 100 and 240 V AC and can be used universally. When you want to use it on an overseas travel, however, be sure to prepare a power plug adapter matching the local power outlet.

Battery pack (PDV-BT10)

•The battery pack can be used for about 300 cycles of recharging and operations, though this is variable depending on the operating conditions.

•Charge the battery pack fully before using it for the first time.

CAUTION

• Place the battery charger on a level, flat

surface for recharging.

• Do not short-circuit the terminals of the

battery charger.

Using the Battery

Notes for recharging

•When the battery pack is hot, it may take longer than usual time for recharging or may sometimes be unable to be recharged. Wait for the battery pack to cool down before retrying recharging.

•If the recharge lamp will not light, remove and fit the battery pack to the battery charger again.

•If the recharge lamp blinks, try recharging again under the allowable temperature range (between +5 and +35°C).

•To protect the battery pack, do not recharge a fully charged battery pack repeatedly. Repeated overcharging may deteriorate the battery performance.

•The battery pack becomes hot after recharging, but this is not malfunction.

•Be sure to remove the power plug from the power outlet after recharging. If the power plug is left connected, power of about 1 Watt will be consumed.

•When the battery pack is recharged in a hot environment, it may not recharge fully.

•The temperature during recharging affects the recharging efficiency. Recharging is most efficient between temperatures of 10 and 30°C. Place the battery charger in a place within this temperature range whenever possible.
