to put the system

in standby, then press and hold the front

Note

1 The component video output is switchable between interlaced and progressive formats. See 2 Consumers should note that not all high-definition television sets are fully compatible with this product and may cause artifacts to be displayed in the picture. In case of 525 progressive scan picture problems, it is recommended that the user switch the connection to the ‘standard definition’ output (Interlace). If there are questions regarding our TV set compatibility with this model, please contact our customer service center.

Hold the disc by its edges when handling so as not to leave fingerprints, dirt or scratches on either side of the disc. Damaged or dirty discs can affect playback performance.

If a disc becomes marked with fingerprints, dust, etc., clean using a soft, dry cloth.

Wipe lightly from the center of the disc using straight strokes. Don’t wipe the disc surface with circular 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 such as those designed for cleaning vinyl records.

Storing discs

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 sharp-tipped writing instrument. These could all damage the disc.

Discs to avoid

Discs spin at high speed inside the player. If a disc is cracked, chipped, warped, or otherwise damaged, don't risk using it in your player— you could end up damaging the unit.

This unit is designed for use with conventional, fully circular discs only. Pioneer disclaims all liability arising in connection with the use of shaped discs.

Using cassette tapes

The tape of a cassette is quite easily damaged and loose tape can jam in the tape deck mechanism. If the tape has become unwound, use a pen or pencil to wind it back on to the spool.

When not using cassettes, always store in the case. Store cassettes away from magnetic fields, excessive heat, humidity, dust or oil.

Before recording on a tape, wind the tape on past the leader tape (about the first 3 or 4 seconds of each side).

Tapes you should avoid

Since tapes longer than 90 minutes are so thin, they are more susceptible to jamming in the tape deck mechanism and other trouble such as irregular winding. Avoid using cassette tapes longer than 90 minutes.

Protecting your recordings

You can protect an important recording against accidental erasure by breaking the erase-protect tab(s) with a small screwdriver.

Erase-protect tab (For side A)

Erase-protect tab (For side B)

If you want to re-record on an erase-protected cassette, cover the space left by the broken tab with self-adhesive tape.

Installation and maintenance

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 location:

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 unit.



Place on an unstable surface, or one that is not large enough to support all four of the system unit’s feet.

Additional information

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

Troubleshooting

Incorrect operations are often mistaken for trouble and malfunctions. If you think that there is something wrong with this component, check the points below. Sometimes the trouble may lie in another component. Investigate the other components and electrical appliances being used. If the trouble cannot be rectified even after exercising the checks listed below, ask your nearest Pioneer authorized service center or your dealer to carry out repair work.

• If the unit does not operate normally due to external effects such as static electricity disconnect the power plug from the outlet and insert again to return to normal operating conditions.

Remedy

• Disconnect the power plug from the outlet, and insert again.

• Make sure the power source is the right voltage for the AC inlet.

• If the speaker cables aren’t connected properly, the system has a safety feature that shuts the power off automatically. Check the speaker wires to make sure they’re connected properly. If there appears to be nothing wrong, try switching the power back on after the timer indicator has been blinking for a minute or so.

• If you can’t seem to switch the power back on after the timer indicator has been blinking for over a minute, the unit may be malfunctioning. Take it to your nearest Pioneer authorized service center or your dealer to carry out repair work.

• This player is compatible with Macro-Vision System copy guard. Some discs include a copy prevention signal, and when this type of disc is played back, stripes etc., may appear on some sections of the picture depending on the TV. This is not a malfunction.

• Discs respond differently to particular player functions. This may result in the screen becoming black for a brief instant or shaking slightly when the function is executed. These problems are largely due to differences between discs and disc content and are not malfunctions of this player.

• DVDs and CDs use different recording methods. This is not a malfunction.
