Additional information Using and 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. DVD Video regions All DVD Video discs carry a region mark that indicates which region(s) of the world the disc is compatible with. Your DVD system also has a region mark (on the rear panel). Discs from incompatible regions will not play in this player. In this instance, the following message appears on-screen: Incompatible disc region number Can’t play disc Discs marked ALL play in any player. Installation and maintenance 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.

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. DCS-585-590DVD_EN.book 55 ページ

Additional information Problems with condensation DVD-Video discs come in different screen aspects, ranging from TV programs, which are generally 4:3, to CinemaScope widescreen movies2, with an aspect ratio of up to about 7:3. Televisions also come in different aspect ratios; ‘standard’ 4:3 and widescreen 16:9.3 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. Please note that many widescreen discs override the player’s setting so that the disc is shown in letter box format regardless of the setting. Español Screen sizes and disc formats Set to 4:3 (Letter Box), widescreen discs are shown with black bars top and bottom. Nederlands If you need to move the main unit, first remove a disc if there’s one in the player, then press STANDBY/ON on the front panel to turn the system off. Wait for -OFF- to disappear from the display, then unplug the power cord.1 Never lift or move the unit during playback — discs rotate at high speeds and may damage. If you have a standard TV, the TV Screen setting (page 38) of this player should be set to 4:3 (Letter Box) or 4:3 (Pan & Scan), depending on which you prefer. Italiano Moving the system unit Standard TV users Français 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 the condensation won’t damage the player, it may temporarily impair performance. Leave it to adjust to the warmer temperature for about an hour before switching on. When you watch discs recorded in 4:3 format with the 16:9 (Wide) setting, 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 a widescreen TV, these discs will still play in a ‘letter box’ style with black bars at the top and bottom of the screen. Deutsch 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. English Cleaning the pickup lens

Widescreen TV users If you have a widescreen TV, the TV Screen setting (page 40) of this player should be set to 16:9 (Wide) or 16:9 (Compressed). Note 1 Unplugging the unit before -OFF- disappears from the display may cause the system to return to the factory settings. 2 Many widescreen discs override the system’s settings so that the disc is shown in letterbox format regardless of the setting. 3 Using the 16:9 (Wide) or 16:9 (Compressed) setting with a standard 4:3 TV, or one of the 4:3 settings with a widescreen TV, will result in picture distortion.
