MOISTURE CONDENSATION
DO NOT OPERATE THIS DVD/VCR FOR AT LEAST TWO
OR THREE HOURS WHEN MOISTURE IN THE AIR CONDENSES ON THE DVD/VCR.
WHAT IS MOISTURE CONDENSATION?
When cold liquid is poured into a glass, for example, water
vapour in the air will condense on the surface of the glass.
This is called moisture condensation.
MOISTURE WILL CONDENSE ON THE UNIT IN THE FOLLOWING CASES;
• When you move this DVD/VCR from a cold to a warm place.
• After heating a cold room or under extremely humid conditions.
WHEN YOU EXPERIENCE THE ABOVE CONDITIONS;
Plug the power cord into an AC outlet, set the STANDBY/ON
switch to ON and leave the unit at room temperature until
moisture condensation disappears. Depending on the surrounding conditions, this may take from two or three hours.
We Want You Listening For A Lifetime
Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit
you’ve just purchased is only the start of your
musical enjoyment. Now it’s time to consider how
you can maximize the fun and excitement your
equipment offers. This manufacturer and the
Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer
Electronics Group want you to get the most out of
your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that
lets the sound come through loud and clear without
annoying blaring or distortion-and, most importantly,
without affecting your sensitive hearing.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing
“comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of sound.
So what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and
harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by
setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your
hearing adapts.
To establish a safe level:
• Start your volume control at a low setting.
• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it
comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.
Once you have established a comfortable sound
level:
• Set the dial and leave it there.
Used wisely, your new sound equipment will
provide a lifetime of fun and enjoyment. Since
hearing damage from loud noise is often
undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer
and the Electronic Industries Association’s
Consumer Electronics Group recommend you avoid
prolonged exposure to excessive noise. This list of
sound levels is included for your protection.
Decibel
Level Example
30

Quiet library, soft whispers
Living room, refrigerator, bedroom away from traffic
Light traffic, normal conversation, quiet office
Air conditioner at 20 feet, sewing machine
Vacuum cleaner, hair dryer, noisy restaurant
Average city traffic, garbage disposals, alarm clock

THE FOLLOWING NOISES CAN BE DANGEROUS
UNDER CONSTANT EXPOSURE
90 Subway, motorcycle, truck traffic, lawn mower
100 Garbage truck, chain saw, pneumatic drill
120 Rock band concert in front of speakers,
thunderclap
140 Gunshot blast, jet plane

Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent
hearing damage or loss in the future. After all, we
want you listening for a lifetime.

MP3/WMA/JPEG CD Information
This player can play back MP3/WMA/JPEG files recorded
on a CD-R or CD-RW.
MP3 is an audio file format, which compresses recorded music.
It was developed by Fraunhofer Gesellschaft in collaboration
with Thomson Inc. The main advantage of the MP3 format is
that it means CD-quality music tracks can be stored on a
personal computer.
WMA (Windows Media Audio) is another audio file format
developed by Microsoft.
JPEG files are image files.
To create these files you need a Windows-PC with CD-ROM
drive and MP3/WMA/JPEG-encoding software (not supplied).
The Apple-HFS-System cannot be played.

• This unit can read 200 files per disc. Keep directory sizes to
200 files or less. Anything over that limit will be omitted.
• This unit is able to recognize up to a maximum of 50 directories per disc.
• If a CD has both audio and graphic files on the same CD, only
the audio tracks will play.
• It may take more than one minute for MP3/WMA/JPEG files
to play depending on their structure.
• Music recorded by “Joliet Recording Specification” can be
played back.
• The unit can play back baseline and progressive JPEG files.
• Music files recorded by “Hierarchical File System” (HFS)
cannot be played.
Notes on MP3/WMA/JPEG files
To play MP3/WMA/JPEG files in the recorded order,
1. Use MP3/WMA/JPEG software that records data alphabetically or numerically.
2. Name each file including a two-digit or three-digit number
(e.g. “01” “02” or “001” “002”).
3. Refrain from creating too many subfolders.

About PROGRESSIVE SCANNING MODE
To display video on the TV screen, the conventional
scanning method is called “Interlaced scanning.” With this
method, only half of the horizontal lines are displayed at a
time. So two fields complete a single picture (frame); i.e.,
the first field, containing all the odd-numbered lines, is
displayed followed by the second field, containing all the
even-numbered lines.
The Progressive scanning system scans all horizontal
lines at a time, so you can double the number of lines
compared with the interlaced scanning, resulting in a
high-density, flicker-free picture.
To enjoy a progressive scanned video, the TV connected
to the unit must have Progressive inputs.
Depending on the material source format, DVD discs can
be classified into two categories; film and video (note that
some DVD discs contain both a film source and a video
source). Film sources are recorded as 24-frame-persecond information, while (NTSC) video sources are
recorded as 30-frame-per second (60-field-per-second
interlaced) information.
When the unit plays back a film source material,
uninterlaced progressive output signals are created using
the original information. When a video source material is
played back, the unit interleaves lines between the
interlaced lines on each to create the interpolated picture
and outputs as the progressive signal.
NOTES:
• Some discs may not be played back with the progressive scanning mode correctly because of the disc characteristics or recording condition.
• There are some progressive TV and High-Definition TV sets that
are not fully compatible with the unit, resulting in the unnatural
picture when playing back a DVD disc in the Progressive scanning mode. In such a case, use the Interlaced scanning mode.
• You cannot make the progressive scanning mode active in following cases.
– The unit is in the VCR mode.
– The disc is played back in the DVD mode.
– The S-VIDEO/COMPONENT video selector swich is set to
S-VIDEO positon.

Video head cleaning
Video head clogging
The video heads are the means by which the DVD/VCR reads the
picture from the tape during playback. In the unlikely event that the
heads become dirty enough to be clogged, no picture will be played
back. This can easily be determined if, during playback of a known
good tape, there is good sound, but no picture (picture is extremely
snowy). If this is the case, have the DVD/VCR checked by qualified
service personnel.
Normal
When head is dirty
NOTES:
• DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE VIDEO HEADS OR SERVICE THE UNIT BY REMOVING THE TOP COVER.
• Video heads may eventually wear out and should be replaced when they fail to produce clear pictures.
• To help prevent video head clogging, use only good quality VHS tapes. Discard worn out tapes.
• We do not recommend using wet-type head-cleaning cassettes as they may damage the unit.

top and bottom of the
screen.
4:3 (Letter box)
The sides of the
program are cropped
so that the picture fills
the whole screen.
Please note that many
widescreen discs override the player's

The program appears
squashed. Set to
either 4:3 (Letter box)
or 4:3 (Pan Scan).
4:3 (Pan Scan)
The program is
presented correctly
on either setting.
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 and recording
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.
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.

Your TV will determine
how the picture is
presented-check the
manual that came with
the TV for details.
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 sharp-tipped 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.
Damaged discs
NOTE:
• Using the 16:9 (Wide) setting with a standard 4:3 TV, or
either of the 4:3 settings with a widescreen TV, will result in
a distorted picture.
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; you could end up damaging the
player.
This player is designed for use with conventional, fully
circular discs only. Use of shaped discs is not recommended
for this product. Pioneer disclaims all liability arising in
connection with the use of shaped discs.

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 for CD players are
commercially available, we do not recommend using them
since some may damage the lens.
Handling video tapes
Please do not use the following kinds of video tape:
•
•
•
- Dusty or mouldy tape
- Tape on which liquid has been spilled
- Tape which has been broken and then repaired
- Tape which has become unwound from the spools
in the cassette
Dirty heads and very long length, thin video tape can
cause problems such as uneven playback.
When using a new video tape, fast-forward to the
end, then rewind it back to the start before using.
Avoid dropping video tapes or exposing them to
severe vibration.
Storing video tapes
• After using a video tape, rewind it back to the
beginning and return to its case.
• Do not store tapes:
- in excessively dusty places
- in excessively hot or humid places
- in direct sunlight
- near air-conditioners or heaters
- near strong magnetic fields
Hints on installation
We want you to enjoy using this unit 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 heatgenerating appliances.
 Place on a window sill or other place where the player
will be exposed to direct sunlight.
 Use in a dusty or damp environment or in a room where it
will be exposed to excessive cigarette smoke.
 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 player 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 unit.
 Place on an unstable surface, or one that is not large
enough to support all four of the unit's feet.
Moving the player
If you need to move the player, first remove the disc and the
cassette, if they are loaded, and close the disc tray. Next
press STANDBY/ON to switch the power to standby. Lastly,
disconnect the power cord.
