GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION
• If this product is equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other), it will fit into the outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
• If this product is equipped with a three-wire grounding type plug, a plug having a third (grounding) pin, it will only fit into a grounding type power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding type plug.
POWER-CORD PROTECTION — Power-supply
cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the product.
OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING — If an
outside antenna or cable system is connected to the product, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with regard to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode. See Figure A.
LIGHTNING — For added protection for this
product during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the product due to lightning and power-line surges.
POWER LINES — An outside antenna system
should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.
OVERLOADING — Do not overload wall outlets,
extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

Most likely, the disc is the wrong region for your system. The region number should be printed on the disc; check it against the region number of the system (which you can find on the rear panel). See also
Video regions
on page 58.
DVD
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
Using and taking care of discs
on page 58.
First check that you loaded the disc the right way up (label side up), and that it’s clean and not damaged. See
taking care of discs
on page 58 for
Using and
information on cleaning discs.
If a disc loaded correctly won’t play, it’s probably an incompatible format or disc type, such as DVD-Audio or DVD-ROM. See
Disc / content format playback compatibility
on page 7 for more on disc compatibility.
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 system 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 system, so even if you have
4:3 (Pan & Scan)
selected, those discs will still be shown in letterbox format. This is not a malfunction.
DVD-Video disc menus
Many DVD-Video discs contain menus from which you can select what you want to watch. They may give access to additional features, such as subtitle and audio language selection, or special features such as slideshows. See the disc packaging for details.
Sometimes DVD-Video menus are displayed automatically when you start playback; others only appear when you press

Handling discs
When holding discs of any type, take care not to leave fingerprints, dirt or scratches on the disc surface. Hold the disc by its edge or by the center hole and edge.
Damaged or dirty discs can affect playback performance. Take care also not to scratch the label side of the disc. Although not as fragile as the recorded side, scratches can still result in a disc becoming unusable.
Should a disc become marked with fingerprints, dust, etc., clean using a soft, dry cloth, wiping the disc lightly from the center to the outside edge as shown in the diagram below.
Wipe lightly from the center of the disc using straight strokes.
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.
Storing discs
Although CDs and DVD discs are more durable than vinyl records, you should still take care to handle and store discs correctly. 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 onto the disc, or use a pencil, ball-point pen or other sharp­tipped writing instrument. These could all damage the disc.
For more detailed care information see the instructions that come with discs.
Do not load more than one disc into the player at a time.
Discs to avoid
Discs spin at high speed inside the player. If you can see that a disc is cracked, chipped, warped, or otherwise damaged, don't risk using it in your player—you could end up damaging the unit.

Proper installation and maintenance of this system
Hints on installation
We want you to enjoy using this system for years to come, so please bear in mind the following points when choosing a suitable location for it:
Do...
Use in a well-ventilated room.
Place on a solid, flat, level surface, such as a table, shelf or stereo rack.
Don’t...
Use in a place exposed to high temperatures or humidity, including near radiators and other heat-generating appliances.
Place on a window sill or other place where the system will be exposed to direct sunlight.
Use in an excessively dusty or damp environment.
Place directly on top of an amplifier, or other component in your stereo system that becomes hot in use.
Use near a television or monitor as you may experience interference—especially if the television uses an indoor antenna.
Use in a kitchen or other room where the system may be exposed to smoke or steam.
Use on a thick rug or carpet, or cover with cloth—this may prevent proper cooling of the system.
Place on an unstable surface, or one that is not large enough to support all four of the 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 its performance. For this reason you should leave it to adjust to the warmer temperature for about an hour before switching on and using.
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
system off. Wait for from the display, then unplug the power cord. Never lift or move the unit during playback— discs rotate at a high speed and may be damaged.

Power cord caution
Handle the power cord by the plug. Do not pull out the plug by tugging the cord and never touch the power cord when your hands are wet as this could cause a short circuit or an electric shock. Do not place this unit, a piece of furniture, etc., on the power cord, or pinch the cord. Never make a knot in the cord or tie it with other cords. The power cords should be routed such that they are not likely to be stepped on. A damaged power cord can cause a fire or give you an electrical shock.
Check the power cord once in a while. When you find it damaged, ask your nearest Pioneer authorized service center or your dealer for a replacement.

Wall-mounting the front (S-DV440 only), center and surround speaker system
Before mounting
• Remember that the speaker system is heavy and that its weight could cause the wood screws to work loose, or the wall material to fail to support it, resulting in the speaker falling. Make sure that the wall you intend to mount the speakers on is strong enough to support them. Do not mount on plywood or soft surface walls.
• Mounting screws are not supplied. Use screws that are suitable for the wall material and that will support the weight of the speaker.
