About progressive scan video
Compared to interlace video, progressive scan
video effectively doubles the scanning rate of
the picture, resulting in a very stable, flickerfree image. Progressive scan video is available

with a progressive scan signal and switch
the system to progressive, you will not be
able to see any picture at all. In this case,
press

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.

Handling discs
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.

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

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.
General
Problem
The power does not turn on.• Connect the power plug to the wall outlet.
The power suddenly switches off
automatically and won’t switch
back on for a minute or so. Also,
the timer indicator is blinking.
No sound is output when a
function is selected.
No image is output when
watching discs.
System does not output digital
audio at 96kHz.
Can’t operate the remote control. • Replace the batteries (see
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.
• If you’re using the

MUTE
• Press
• Adjust the volume.
• Make sure the TV is connected correctly (see

• As a copy-protection measure, some DVDs do not output 96kHz
audio. In this case, even if 96 kHz is selected, the player
automatically outputs the audio at 48 kHz. This is not a
malfunction.
• Operate within 23 feet (7 m), 30° of the remote sensor on the front
panel (see

page 11).
• Adjust the direction and position for best reception.
• Connect an additional internal or external AM antenna (see

• The radio signal is weak. Auto tuning will only detect radio stations with a
good signal. For more sensitive tuning, connect an outdoor antenna.
Remedy
• 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.
