Watching NTSC on a PAL TV (MOD. PAL)

Most models of the newly developed count- down PAL TV system detect 50 Hz (PAL)/60 Hz (NTSC) and automatically switch vertical amplitude, resulting in a display without vertical shrinkage. However, in some cases, the image may appear without color.

If your PAL TV does not have a V-Hold control, you may not be able to watch NTSC discs because of picture roll. Ifthe TV has a V-Hold control, adjust it until the picture stops rolling On some TVs, the picture may shrink vertically, leaving black bands at the top and bottom of the screen. This is not a malfunction: it is caused by the NTSC to PAL conversion:

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 ofthe 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.

Don't wipe the disc surface using circular strokes.

lnecessary, 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

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)

Dont 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 at a time.

Discs spin at high speed inside the player. 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 system 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.

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:

J Use in a well-ventilated room.

Place on a solid, flat, level surface, such as a table, shelf or stereo rack.

X Use in a place exposed to high temperatures or humidity, including near radiators and other heat-generating appliances

X Place on a window sill or other place where the system will be exposed to direct sunlight

X Use in an excessively dusty or damp environment

X Place directly on top of an amplifier, or other component in your stereo system that becomes hot in use.

X Use near atelevision or monitor as you may experience interference—especially if the television uses an indoor antenna

X Use in a kitchen or other room where the

system may be exposed to smoke or steam.

X Use on a thick rug or carpet, or cover with cloth—this may prevent proper cooling of the system unit

| drain 7 « Ÿ 2004#Æ2A208 $&HA

(Additional information

X Place on an unstable surface, oronethatis 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 system unit ifitis brought into a warm room from outside. or ifthe temperature of the room rises quickly. Although the condensation won't damage the system, 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 all discs, then press d 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. Never lift or move the system during playback—discs rotate at a high speed and may be damaged.

+ Unplugging the system before Good Bye disappears from the display may cause the system to return to the factory settings.

Handle the power cord by the plug part. 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

electric shock. Do not place the system unit, a piece of furniture, or other object on the power cord or pinch the cord in any other way. Never make a knot in the cord or tie it with other cords. The power cord should be routed so that they are not likely to be stepped on. À damaged power cord can cause a fire or give you an electric shock. Check the power cord once in a while. you find it damaged, ask your nearest Pioneer authorized service center or your dealer for a replacement.

Wireless speaker system maintenance and precautions

+ Even when not in use, the fan in the wireless speaker will continue to operate. Switching off the wireless speaker when not in use will increase product life:

Cleaning the exterior

Use a polishing cloth or dry cloth to wipe off dust and dirt. Fthe surfaces are very dirty, wipe with a soft cloth dipped in some neutral cleanser diluted five or six times with water and wrung out well, then wipe again with a dry cloth

Do not use furniture wax or cleaners. Never use thinners, benzine or insecticide sprays or other chemicals on or near this unit since they will corrode the surface.

If you use a chemical-impregnated cleaning cloth, read the instructions carefully before use, These cloths may leave smear marks on half-mirror finish surfaces: if this happens, finish with a dry cloth

Make sure to unplug the unit when cleaning

Moving the wireless speaker

If you need to move the wireless speaker, first press POWER on the top panel to turn the unit off, then unplug the power cord

Radio wave reflections

The radio waves received by the receiver include the radio wave coming directly from the transmitter (direct wave) and waves coming from various directions due to reflections by walls, furniture and building (reflected waves). The reflected waves (due to obstacles and reflecting objects) further produce a variety of reflected waves as well as variation in reception condition depending on locations. If the audio cannot be received properly due to this phenomenon, try moving

the location ofthe wireless speaker a little. Also note that audio may be interrupted due to the reflected waves when a person crosses or approaches the space between the transmitter and wireless speaker

This wireless speaker system uses à 2.4GHz radio wave frequency, which is a band used by other wireless systems (see list below). To prevent noise or interrupted communication, do not use this system nearby such devices, or make sure these devices are switched off during use. You can also try switching the channel on the transmitter (see Transmitter on page 29) for better reception.

Screen sizes and disc formats DVD-Video discs come in several different screen aspects, ranging from TV programs, which are generally 4:3, to CinemaScope Widescreen movies, with an aspect ratio of up to about 7:3

Televisions also come in different aspect ratios: ‘standard' 4:3 and widescreen 16:0.

If you have a widescreen TV, the TV Screen setting (page 70) of this system should be set to 16:9 (Wide).

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

Please note that some movie aspect ratios are wider than 16:9, so even though you have à widescreen TV, these discs will still play in a “letterbox style with black bars at the top and bottom of the screen

If you have a standard TV, the TV Screen setting {page 70) of this system should be set to 4:3 (Letter Box) or 4:3 (Pan&Scan), depending on which you prefer.

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 don't actually see the whole picture
