Before you start 01 5 En English Français Deutsch Nederlands Italiano Español Chapter 1 Before you start Checking whatâÂÂs in the box Please check that you've received the following supplied accessories: ⢠Remote control ⢠Dry cell batteries (AA/R6) x2 ⢠Video cord ⢠AM loop antenna ⢠FM antenna ⢠Power cord: Singapore, Malaysia, Taiwan, Indonesia and Philippines models x2 All other models x1 ⢠Non-skid pads (in speaker box) x8 ⢠These operating instructions Loading the batteries Use AA/R6 batteries with the supplied remote control. Make sure to follow the indications ( î , î ) inside the compartment. Important Incorrect use of batteries may result in such hazards as leakage and bursting. Observe the following precautions: ⢠Never use new and old batteries together. ⢠Insert the plus and minus sides of the batteries properly according to the marks in the battery case. ⢠Batteries with the same shape may have different voltages. Do not use different batteries together. ⢠When disposing of used batteries, please comply with governmental regulations or environmental public instructionâÂÂs rules that apply in your country or area. Attaching the non-skid pads Use the self-adhesive non-skid pads to provide a stable base for the speakers. Attach four to each speaker as shown below. Removing the front speaker grilles If necessary, remove the front speaker grilles as described below. 1 Gently ease the grille loose by gripping the bottom and pulling towards you. 2 Pull the top free in the same way. When reattaching, start from the top then push the bottom in until secure. ⢠It is not recommended (due to dirt and dust) to leave the speaker grilles removed. ⢠If the speaker grille is not properly attached to the front of the speaker, it is possible it may fall off and cause injury. Therefore, we donâÂÂt recommend placing the speaker in high locations where this is likely to happen. XV-GX3.book 5 ãÂÂã¼ã¸ ï¼Âï¼Âï¼Âï¼Âå¹´ï¼ÂæÂÂï¼ÂæÂ¥ãÂÂæ°´æÂÂæÂ¥ãÂÂÃ¥ÂÂÃ¥ÂÂï¼Âï¼ÂæÂÂï¼Âï¼ÂÃ¥ÂÂ
Connecting up 02 6 En Chapter 2 Connecting up Important ⢠Before making or changing any connections, switch off the power and unplug the power cord from the AC outlet. ⢠When making cable connections, make sure not to bend the cables over the top of this unit. This may cause a humming noise from the speakers. Connecting the speaker terminals Place the front left and right speakers at equal distances from the TV 1 , then connect the wires from the speakers to the terminals on the main unit rear panel as shown below. See Optional surround speaker connections on page 6 to connect surround speakers. Caution ⢠Do not connect this speaker to any amplifier other than the one supplied with this system. Connection to any other amplifier may result in a malfunction or fire. ⢠Make sure that the bare speaker wires cannot touch each other, or come into contact with other metal parts once the unit is switched on. ⢠Do not attach these speakers to the wall or ceiling. They may fall off and cause injury. 1 Twist and pull off the protective shields on each wire. 2 Connect to the FRONT speaker terminals on the rear of the unit. Make sure to insert the red wire into the red ( ) tab and the black wire into the black (âÂÂ) tab. Optional surround speaker connections Using RCA speaker cables, you can connect surround speakers to the left and right SURROUND speaker jacks on the rear panel for multichannel sound from this system. For the best surround effect, place the surround speakers slightly above ear level and at the same distance from the listening position as the front speakers. Important ⢠Use speakers with a nominal impedance of at least 16 ⦠. Note 1 The speakers supplied with this system are magnetically shielded. However, placing them extremely close to a television may result in color distortion on the screen. If this happens, move the speakers a little further away and switch off the television for 15âÂÂ30 minutes. ê ÷ EV-500-1000_02_connect_up.fm 6 ãÂÂã¼ã¸ ï¼Âï¼Âï¼Âï¼Âå¹´ï¼ÂæÂÂï¼ÂæÂ¥ãÂÂæÂ¨æÂÂæÂ¥ãÂÂÃ¥ÂÂÃ¥ÂÂï¼Âï¼ÂæÂÂï¼Âï¼ÂÃ¥ÂÂ
Connecting up 02 7 En English Français Deutsch Nederlands Italiano Español ⢠Make sure you connect both surround speakers or you wonâÂÂt be able to hear anything from the surround jacks. Connecting the radio antennas Connecting the supplied antennas will allow you to listen to both AM and FM radio broadcasts. If you find that reception quality is poor, an outdoor antenna should give you better sound qualityâÂÂsee Connecting external antennas below for more on how to do this. 1 Pull off the protective shields of both AM antenna wires. 2 Push open the tabs, then insert one wire fully into each terminal, then release the tabs to secure the AM antenna wires. 3 Fix the AM loop antenna to the stand. To fix the stand to the antenna, bend in the direction indicated by the arrow ( fig. a ) then clip the loop onto the stand ( fig. b ). ⢠If you plan to mount the AM antenna to a wall or other surface, secure the stand with screws ( fig. c ) before clipping the loop to the stand. Make sure the reception is clear. 4 Place the AM antenna on a flat surface and point in the direction giving the best reception. DonâÂÂt let it come into contact with metal objects and avoid placing near computers, television sets or other electrical appliances. 1 5 Connect the FM wire antenna to the FM UNLBAL 75 ⦠⦠⦠⦠antenna terminal. For best results, extend the FM antenna fully and fix to a wall or door frame. DonâÂÂt drape loosely or leave coiled up.

Connecting up 02 8 En External FM antenna Use a PAL connector to hook up an external FM antenna. Connecting to your TV This system offers three types of video connections. If your TV has component video inputs, see Connecting using component video below. 1 Use the supplied yellow video cable to connect the VIDEO OUT jack to a video input on your TV. For a better image, you can also use a commercially available S-Video cable to connect the S-VIDEO OUT jack to an S-Video input on your TV. 2 Optionally: Use a stereo audio cable to connect the audio outs of your TV (or VCR) to the LINE IN jacks on the rear of this unit. This will enable you to hear the TV (or VCR) sound through this system. See Connecting auxiliary components below for more on this. Connecting using component video If your TV has component video inputs, you can use these instead of the standard or S-Video output to connect this system to your TV. 1 This should give you the best quality picture from the three types of video output available. ⢠Use a component video cable to connect the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT to a set of component inputs on your TV. About progressive scan video Compared to interlace video, progressive scan video effectively doubles the scanning rate of the picture, resulting in a very stable, flicker- free image. Progressive scan video is available only from the component video output. Important ⢠If you connect a TV that is not compatible 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 î STANDBY/ON to put the system in standby, select the interlace setting in the System Setup menu options in standby on page 33, then press ENTER . . . .

Making tape recordings 06 24 En Chapter 6 Making tape recordings Manual recording to cassette You can make tape recordings from the radio, CDs, or from an external component connected to the auxiliary inputs. 1 Unlike some tape decks, thereâÂÂs no need to set recording levels; the deck sets the level automatically. When recording, the volume (as well as all other sound processing features 2 ) has no effect on the recording. This means that you can record something with the volume turned right down if you want. 1 Press TAPE then load a cassette into the tape deck. In order to follow these instructions more easily, load the cassette 3 with side A facing up, then use the front panel controls. 2 Check the recording direction. If you start recording in the î direction, both sides of the tape can be recorded (unless the erase protect tab for side B is missing). If you switch sides and start recording in the î direction, then recording will start from side B and stop when the end of the tape is reached. If you need to change the direction, press î ( îÂÂî ) twice, then î (stop). 3 Set the reverse mode (page 16). ⢠(record one side only) ⢠or (record both sides if recording starts in the î (forward) direction, or one side if recording starts in the î (reverse) direction) 4 Select the source you want to record. For example, press TUNER ( FM/AM ) to record from the radio. If youâÂÂve selected a CD, make sure that itâÂÂs stopped. You canâÂÂt record while TAPE is selected. 5 Prepare the source for recording. For example, tune in the radio station. 4 6 Press REC/STOP (front panel only). The REC indicator lights in the display and the deck starts recording. 7 Start the source playing (if necessary). 8 When youâÂÂre ready to stop recording, press REC/STOP again. Tip ⢠If you find that youâÂÂre getting noisy recordings from an AM radio station, see Using the System Setup menu on page 33 to change the beat cut mode. Note 1 Once recording has started, you canâÂÂt switch to another component until recording has stopped. So, for example, you canâÂÂt switch over to the tuner while youâÂÂre recording a CD. 2 During recording, sound processing features (such as the sound menu settings, SFC effects, karaoke features and the bass boost) are not available. 3⢠Before recording, check that the cassette erase-protect tabs have not been broken, and that the tape is Type I (normal posi- tion). You canâÂÂt record on Type II (high/CrO2) or IV (metal) tapes using this deck. ⢠If youâÂÂre recording from the start of a tape, itâÂÂs a good idea to wind the tape on a little so that you donâÂÂt accidently start re- cording over the leader tape. You can either do this by hand, or load the tape into the deck and play the tape for 5âÂÂ6 seconds. 4 Once recording has started, you wonâÂÂt be able to change the frequency (or use the tuner features such as FM mono).

About WMA The Windows Media î logo printed on the box indicates that this player can playback Windows Media Audio content. WMA is an acronym for Windows Media Audio and refers to an audio compression technology developed by Microsoft Corporation. WMA content can be encoded by using Windows Media î Player version 7, 7.1, Windows Media î Player for Windows î XP, or Windows Media î Player 9 Series. Microsoft, Windows Media, and the Windows logo are trademarks, or registered trademarks of Microsoft Corporation in the United States and/ or other countries. Taking care of discs 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. DonâÂÂt 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. Note 1⢠For external subtitle files the following subtitle format filename extensions are supported (please note that these files are not shown within the disc navigation menu): .srt, .sub, .ssa, .smi ⢠Some external subtitle files may be displayed incorrectly or not at all. ⢠The filename of the movie file has to be repeated at the beginning of the filename for the external subtitle file. ⢠The number of external subtitle files which can be switched for the same movie file is limited to a maximum of 10.

Additional information 12 37 En English Français Deutsch Nederlands Italiano Español 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 playerâ 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. 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... î Use in a well-ventilated room. î Place on a solid, flat, level surface, such as a table, shelf or stereo rack . DonâÂÂt... î Use in a place exposed to high temperatures or humidity, including near radiators and other heat-generating appliances. î Place on a window sill or other place where the system will be exposed to direct sunlight. î Use in an excessively dusty or damp environment. î Place directly on top of an amplifier, or other component in your stereo system that becomes hot in use. î Use near a television or monitor as you may experience interferenceâÂÂespecially if the television uses an indoor antenna. î Use in a kitchen or other room where the system may be exposed to smoke or steam. î Use on a thick rug or carpet, or cover with clothâÂÂthis may prevent proper cooling of the system unit. î Place on an unstable surface, or one that is not large enough to support all four of the system unitâÂÂs feet.

Additional information 12 38 En Cleaning the pickup lens The DVD playerâÂÂs 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 wonâÂÂt 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 thereâÂÂs one in the player, then press î STANDBY/ON on the front panel to turn the system off. Wait for GOOD BYE to disappear from the display, then unplug the power cord. 1 Never lift or move the unit during playbackâ discs rotate at high speeds and may damage. Resetting the system Use this procedure to reset all system settings to the factory default. Use the front panel controls to do this. ⢠With the system switched on, press î STANDBY/ON while holding down the î (stop) button. The system switches to standby, and the next time you switch on, all the systemâÂÂs settings will be reset. Screen sizes and disc formats DVD-Video discs come in different screen aspects, ranging from TV programs, which are generally 4:3, to CinemaScope widescreen movies 2 , with an aspect ratio of up to about 7:3. Televisions also come in different aspect ratios; âÂÂstandardâ 4:3 and widescreen 16:9. 3 Using the language code list Some of the language options (see Language settings on page 29) allow you to set your preferred language from any of the 136 languages listed in the Language code list . 1 Select âÂÂOther LanguageâÂÂ. 2 Use îÂÂ/î (cursor left/right) to select either a code letter or a code number. 3 Use îÂÂ/î (cursor up/down) to select a code letter or a code number. See the Language code list (next page) for a complete list of languages and codes. Note 1 Unplugging the unit before GOOD BYE disappears from the display may cause the system to return to the factory settings. 2 Many widescreen discs override the systemâÂÂs settings so that the disc is shown in letterbox format regardless of the setting. Set to 4:3 (Letter Box), widescreen discs are shown with black bars top and bottom. Set to 4:3 (Pan&Scan) , widescreen discs are shown with the left and right sides cropped. Although the picture looks larger, you donâÂÂt actually see the whole picture. 3⢠Using the 16:9 (Wide) setting with a standard 4:3 TV, or one of the 4:3 settings with a widescreen TV, will result in distortion. ⢠When you watch discs recorded in 4:3 format, you can use the TV controls to select how the picture is presented. Your TV may offer various zoom and stretch options; see the instructions that came with your TV for details. ⢠Some movie aspect ratios are wider than 16:9, so even with a widescreen TV, these discs will still play in a âÂÂletterboxâ style.

Before you start 01 5 En English Français Deutsch Nederlands Italiano Español Chapter 1 Before you start Checking whatâÂÂs in the box Please check that you've received the following supplied accessories: ⢠Remote control ⢠Dry cell batteries (AA/R6) x2 ⢠Video cord ⢠AM loop antenna ⢠FM antenna ⢠Power cord: Singapore, Malaysia, Taiwan, Indonesia and Philippines models x2 All other models x1 ⢠Non-skid pads (in speaker box) x8 ⢠These operating instructions Loading the batteries Use AA/R6 batteries with the supplied remote control. Make sure to follow the indications ( î , î ) inside the compartment. Important Incorrect use of batteries may result in such hazards as leakage and bursting. Observe the following precautions: ⢠Never use new and old batteries together. ⢠Insert the plus and minus sides of the batteries properly according to the marks in the battery case. ⢠Batteries with the same shape may have different voltages. Do not use different batteries together. ⢠When disposing of used batteries, please comply with governmental regulations or environmental public instructionâÂÂs rules that apply in your country or area. Attaching the non-skid pads Use the self-adhesive non-skid pads to provide a stable base for the speakers. Attach four to each speaker as shown below. Removing the front speaker grilles If necessary, remove the front speaker grilles as described below. 1 Gently ease the grille loose by gripping the bottom and pulling towards you. 2 Pull the top free in the same way. When reattaching, start from the top then push the bottom in until secure. ⢠It is not recommended (due to dirt and dust) to leave the speaker grilles removed. ⢠If the speaker grille is not properly attached to the front of the speaker, it is possible it may fall off and cause injury. Therefore, we donâÂÂt recommend placing the speaker in high locations where this is likely to happen. XV-GX3.book 5 ãÂÂã¼ã¸ ï¼Âï¼Âï¼Âï¼Âå¹´ï¼ÂæÂÂï¼ÂæÂ¥ãÂÂæ°´æÂÂæÂ¥ãÂÂÃ¥ÂÂÃ¥ÂÂï¼Âï¼ÂæÂÂï¼Âï¼ÂÃ¥ÂÂ
Connecting up 02 6 En Chapter 2 Connecting up Important ⢠Before making or changing any connections, switch off the power and unplug the power cord from the AC outlet. ⢠When making cable connections, make sure not to bend the cables over the top of this unit. This may cause a humming noise from the speakers. Connecting the speaker terminals Place the front left and right speakers at equal distances from the TV 1 , then connect the wires from the speakers to the terminals on the main unit rear panel as shown below. See Optional surround speaker connections on page 6 to connect surround speakers. Caution ⢠Do not connect this speaker to any amplifier other than the one supplied with this system. Connection to any other amplifier may result in a malfunction or fire. ⢠Make sure that the bare speaker wires cannot touch each other, or come into contact with other metal parts once the unit is switched on. ⢠Do not attach these speakers to the wall or ceiling. They may fall off and cause injury. 1 Twist and pull off the protective shields on each wire. 2 Connect to the FRONT speaker terminals on the rear of the unit. Make sure to insert the red wire into the red ( ) tab and the black wire into the black (âÂÂ) tab. Optional surround speaker connections Using RCA speaker cables, you can connect surround speakers to the left and right SURROUND speaker jacks on the rear panel for multichannel sound from this system. For the best surround effect, place the surround speakers slightly above ear level and at the same distance from the listening position as the front speakers. Important ⢠Use speakers with a nominal impedance of at least 16 ⦠. Note 1 The speakers supplied with this system are magnetically shielded. However, placing them extremely close to a television may result in color distortion on the screen. If this happens, move the speakers a little further away and switch off the television for 15âÂÂ30 minutes. ê ÷ EV-500-1000_02_connect_up.fm 6 ãÂÂã¼ã¸ ï¼Âï¼Âï¼Âï¼Âå¹´ï¼ÂæÂÂï¼ÂæÂ¥ãÂÂæÂ¨æÂÂæÂ¥ãÂÂÃ¥ÂÂÃ¥ÂÂï¼Âï¼ÂæÂÂï¼Âï¼ÂÃ¥ÂÂ
Connecting up 02 7 En English Français Deutsch Nederlands Italiano Español ⢠Make sure you connect both surround speakers or you wonâÂÂt be able to hear anything from the surround jacks. Connecting the radio antennas Connecting the supplied antennas will allow you to listen to both AM and FM radio broadcasts. If you find that reception quality is poor, an outdoor antenna should give you better sound qualityâÂÂsee Connecting external antennas below for more on how to do this. 1 Pull off the protective shields of both AM antenna wires. 2 Push open the tabs, then insert one wire fully into each terminal, then release the tabs to secure the AM antenna wires. 3 Fix the AM loop antenna to the stand. To fix the stand to the antenna, bend in the direction indicated by the arrow ( fig. a ) then clip the loop onto the stand ( fig. b ). ⢠If you plan to mount the AM antenna to a wall or other surface, secure the stand with screws ( fig. c ) before clipping the loop to the stand. Make sure the reception is clear. 4 Place the AM antenna on a flat surface and point in the direction giving the best reception. DonâÂÂt let it come into contact with metal objects and avoid placing near computers, television sets or other electrical appliances. 1 5 Connect the FM wire antenna to the FM UNLBAL 75 ⦠⦠⦠⦠antenna terminal. For best results, extend the FM antenna fully and fix to a wall or door frame. DonâÂÂt drape loosely or leave coiled up. Connecting external antennas External AM antenna Use 5âÂÂ6 meters of vinyl-insulated wire and set up either indoors or outdoors. Leave the AM loop antenna connected.

Connecting up 02 8 En External FM antenna Use a PAL connector to hook up an external FM antenna. Connecting to your TV This system offers three types of video connections. If your TV has component video inputs, see Connecting using component video below. 1 Use the supplied yellow video cable to connect the VIDEO OUT jack to a video input on your TV. For a better image, you can also use a commercially available S-Video cable to connect the S-VIDEO OUT jack to an S-Video input on your TV. 2 Optionally: Use a stereo audio cable to connect the audio outs of your TV (or VCR) to the LINE IN jacks on the rear of this unit. This will enable you to hear the TV (or VCR) sound through this system. See Connecting auxiliary components below for more on this. Connecting using component video If your TV has component video inputs, you can use these instead of the standard or S-Video output to connect this system to your TV. 1 This should give you the best quality picture from the three types of video output available. ⢠Use a component video cable to connect the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT to a set of component inputs on your TV. About progressive scan video Compared to interlace video, progressive scan video effectively doubles the scanning rate of the picture, resulting in a very stable, flicker- free image. Progressive scan video is available only from the component video output.

Making tape recordings 06 24 En Chapter 6 Making tape recordings Manual recording to cassette You can make tape recordings from the radio, CDs, or from an external component connected to the auxiliary inputs. 1 Unlike some tape decks, thereâÂÂs no need to set recording levels; the deck sets the level automatically. When recording, the volume (as well as all other sound processing features 2 ) has no effect on the recording. This means that you can record something with the volume turned right down if you want. 1 Press TAPE then load a cassette into the tape deck. In order to follow these instructions more easily, load the cassette 3 with side A facing up, then use the front panel controls. 2 Check the recording direction. If you start recording in the î direction, both sides of the tape can be recorded (unless the erase protect tab for side B is missing). If you switch sides and start recording in the î direction, then recording will start from side B and stop when the end of the tape is reached. If you need to change the direction, press î ( îÂÂî ) twice, then î (stop). 3 Set the reverse mode (page 16). ⢠(record one side only) ⢠or (record both sides if recording starts in the î (forward) direction, or one side if recording starts in the î (reverse) direction) 4 Select the source you want to record. For example, press TUNER ( FM/AM ) to record from the radio. If youâÂÂve selected a CD, make sure that itâÂÂs stopped. You canâÂÂt record while TAPE is selected. 5 Prepare the source for recording. For example, tune in the radio station. 4 6 Press REC/STOP (front panel only). The REC indicator lights in the display and the deck starts recording. 7 Start the source playing (if necessary). 8 When youâÂÂre ready to stop recording, press REC/STOP again. Tip ⢠If you find that youâÂÂre getting noisy recordings from an AM radio station, see Using the System Setup menu on page 33 to change the beat cut mode. Note 1 Once recording has started, you canâÂÂt switch to another component until recording has stopped. So, for example, you canâÂÂt switch over to the tuner while youâÂÂre recording a CD. 2 During recording, sound processing features (such as the sound menu settings, SFC effects, karaoke features and the bass boost) are not available. 3⢠Before recording, check that the cassette erase-protect tabs have not been broken, and that the tape is Type I (normal posi- tion). You canâÂÂt record on Type II (high/CrO2) or IV (metal) tapes using this deck. ⢠If youâÂÂre recording from the start of a tape, itâÂÂs a good idea to wind the tape on a little so that you donâÂÂt accidently start re- cording over the leader tape. You can either do this by hand, or load the tape into the deck and play the tape for 5âÂÂ6 seconds. 4 Once recording has started, you wonâÂÂt be able to change the frequency (or use the tuner features such as FM mono).

WMA content can be encoded by using Windows Media î Player version 7, 7.1, Windows Media î Player for Windows î XP, or Windows Media î Player 9 Series. Microsoft, Windows Media, and the Windows logo are trademarks, or registered trademarks of Microsoft Corporation in the United States and/ or other countries. Taking care of discs 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. DonâÂÂt 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. Note 1⢠For external subtitle files the following subtitle format filename extensions are supported (please note that these files are not shown within the disc navigation menu): .srt, .sub, .ssa, .smi ⢠Some external subtitle files may be displayed incorrectly or not at all. ⢠The filename of the movie file has to be repeated at the beginning of the filename for the external subtitle file. ⢠The number of external subtitle files which can be switched for the same movie file is limited to a maximum of 10.

Additional information 12 37 En English Français Deutsch Nederlands Italiano Español 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 playerâ 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. 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... î Use in a well-ventilated room. î Place on a solid, flat, level surface, such as a table, shelf or stereo rack . DonâÂÂt... î Use in a place exposed to high temperatures or humidity, including near radiators and other heat-generating appliances. î Place on a window sill or other place where the system will be exposed to direct sunlight. î Use in an excessively dusty or damp environment. î Place directly on top of an amplifier, or other component in your stereo system that becomes hot in use. î Use near a television or monitor as you may experience interferenceâÂÂespecially if the television uses an indoor antenna. î Use in a kitchen or other room where the system may be exposed to smoke or steam. î Use on a thick rug or carpet, or cover with clothâÂÂthis may prevent proper cooling of the system unit. î Place on an unstable surface, or one that is not large enough to support all four of the system unitâÂÂs feet.

Additional information 12 38 En Cleaning the pickup lens The DVD playerâÂÂs 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 wonâÂÂt 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 thereâÂÂs one in the player, then press î STANDBY/ON on the front panel to turn the system off. Wait for GOOD BYE to disappear from the display, then unplug the power cord. 1 Never lift or move the unit during playbackâ discs rotate at high speeds and may damage. Resetting the system Use this procedure to reset all system settings to the factory default. Use the front panel controls to do this. ⢠With the system switched on, press î STANDBY/ON while holding down the î (stop) button. The system switches to standby, and the next time you switch on, all the systemâÂÂs settings will be reset. Screen sizes and disc formats DVD-Video discs come in different screen aspects, ranging from TV programs, which are generally 4:3, to CinemaScope widescreen movies 2 , with an aspect ratio of up to about 7:3. Televisions also come in different aspect ratios; âÂÂstandardâ 4:3 and widescreen 16:9. 3 Using the language code list Some of the language options (see Language settings on page 29) allow you to set your preferred language from any of the 136 languages listed in the Language code list . 1 Select âÂÂOther LanguageâÂÂ. 2 Use îÂÂ/î (cursor left/right) to select either a code letter or a code number. 3 Use îÂÂ/î (cursor up/down) to select a code letter or a code number. See the Language code list (next page) for a complete list of languages and codes. Note 1 Unplugging the unit before GOOD BYE disappears from the display may cause the system to return to the factory settings. 2 Many widescreen discs override the systemâÂÂs settings so that the disc is shown in letterbox format regardless of the setting. Set to 4:3 (Letter Box), widescreen discs are shown with black bars top and bottom. Set to 4:3 (Pan&Scan) , widescreen discs are shown with the left and right sides cropped. Although the picture looks larger, you donâÂÂt actually see the whole picture. 3⢠Using the 16:9 (Wide) setting with a standard 4:3 TV, or one of the 4:3 settings with a widescreen TV, will result in distortion. ⢠When you watch discs recorded in 4:3 format, you can use the TV controls to select how the picture is presented. Your TV may offer various zoom and stretch options; see the instructions that came with your TV for details. ⢠Some movie aspect ratios are wider than 16:9, so even with a widescreen TV, these discs will still play in a âÂÂletterboxâ style.
