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.

product yourself as opening or removing covers
may expose you to dangerous voltage or other
hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service

those controls that are covered by the operating
instructions as an improper adjustment of other
controls may result in damage and will often
require extensive work by a qualified technician
to restore the product to its normal operation.
• If the product has been dropped or damaged in
any way.
• When the product exhibits a distinct change in
performance — this indicates a need for service.
REPLACEMENT PARTS — When replacement parts
are required, be sure the service technician has
used replacement parts specified by the
manufacturer or have the same characteristics
as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions
may result in fire, electric shock, or other
hazards.

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

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,

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.
Note
• Unplugging the unit before
disappears from the display may cause the
system to return to the factory settings.

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.
