The player supports DVD-Video, DVD-R/-RW/-R DL (Video mode and VR mode), DVD+R/+RW/+R DL, Video CD (including Super VCD), Audio CD, and CD-R/-RW discs. It also plays DivX, JPEG, MP3, and WMA files from discs or USB devices.
How do I connect the DV-120-K to my TV?
You can connect using the included audio/video cable (yellow video, white/red audio) to composite inputs, a SCART AV cable (commercially available), or component video cables (Y, Pb, Pr). For best quality, use component or SCART. Note: This model does not have HDMI output.
Why is my remote not working?
First, check if the batteries are inserted correctly (polarity marks) and are not dead. Replace them if needed. Ensure there are no obstacles between the remote and the sensor (within 7 m). Avoid direct sunlight or strong artificial light on the sensor. If still not working, reset the player by unplugging the power cord for a few seconds.
Can I record audio CDs to a USB drive?
Yes. Insert an audio CD and a USB device into the front USB port. Press USB REC on the remote to access CD->USB Rec. You can record all tracks or select individual ones. Tracks are saved as MP3 files in a 'PIONEER' folder. Ensure the USB device has enough space and is formatted as FAT16 or FAT32.
What region code does this player use?
The Pioneer DV-120-K has region code 2 for DVD-Video discs. It can play discs with region number '2' (including '2') or 'ALL' (region-free). Discs from other regions will not play.
How do I reset the settings to factory defaults?
Turn off the player using the STANDBY/ON button. Then, while pressing the ■ (STOP) button on the front panel, press STANDBY/ON again. The power turns on and all settings are restored to defaults.
Why does the picture appear distorted or no picture?
Check the TV system setting (NTSC/PAL/AUTO). Press STANDBY/ON while holding ▶▶I on the front panel to cycle through modes. Also ensure the video cable is connected securely and that the TV input is correct. If using component or SCART, verify the 'AV Connector Out' setting matches your TV.
Can I play files from a USB hub?
No, the player does not support USB hubs. Connect the USB device directly to the front USB port.
What should I do if condensation forms on the player?
Condensation may occur when moving the player from a cold to a warm room. Turn on the player and let it stand at room temperature for 1-2 hours without playing a disc. The moisture will evaporate. Avoid operating the player with condensation as it can damage the lens.
How do I clean the player and discs?
Unplug the power cord before cleaning. Use a soft cloth for the player; for tough dirt, use a cloth dampened with diluted neutral detergent. Wipe discs from the center outward with a soft cloth. Do not use benzene, thinner, or antistatic agents. Do not use commercial lens cleaners; contact Pioneer service if the lens is dirty.

If the AC plug of this unit does not match the AC outlet you want to use, the plug must be removed and appropriate one fitted. Replacement and mounting of an AC plug on the power supply cord of this unit should be performed only by qualified service personnel. If connected to an AC outlet, the cut-off plug can cause severe electrical shock. Make sure it is properly disposed of after removal. The equipment should be disconnected by removing the mains plug from the wall socket when left unused for a long period of time (for example, when on vacation). D3-4-2-2-1a_A_En

CAUTION

The Ⓧ STANDBY/ON switch on this unit will not completely shut off all power from the AC outlet. Since the power cord serves as the main disconnect device for the unit, you will need to unplug it from the AC outlet to shut down all power. Therefore, make sure the unit has been installed so that the power cord can be easily unplugged from the AC outlet in case of an accident. To avoid fire hazard, the power cord should also be unplugged from the AC outlet when left unused for a long period of time (for example, when on vacation). D3-4-2-2-2a_A_En

POWER-CORD CAUTION

Handle the power cord by the plug. 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 unit, a piece of furniture, etc., on the power cord, or pinch the cord. Never make a knot in the cord or tie it with other cords. The power cords should be routed such that they are not likely to be stepped on. A damaged power cord can cause a fire or give you an electrical shock. Check the power cord once in a while. When you find it damaged, ask your nearest PIONEER authorized service center or your dealer for a replacement. S002* En

Then press ⏻ STANDBY/ON on the player (or ⏻ STANDBY/ON on the remote control), wait for the OFF indicator on the front panel display to turn off, then unplug the power cord. Moving the player with a disc inside it could result in damage.

Place of installation

  • Choose a stable place near the TV or stereo system being used with the player.
  • Do not place the player on top of a TV or color monitor. Also install it away from cassette decks and other devices easily affected by magnetic forces.

Avoid the following types of places:

  • Places exposed to direct sunlight
    • Humid or poorly ventilated places
  • Extremely hot places
  • Places exposed to vibrations
  • Places in which there is much dust or cigarette smoke
  • Places exposed to soot, steam or heat (kitchens, etc.)

Do not place objects on the player.

Do not place any objects on top of the player.

Do not place the player on top of an amplifier or other component that generates heat. When placing it in a rack, to avoid the heat given off by the amplifier or other audio component, place it on a shelf below the amplifier.

Turn off the player's power when not using it.

Depending on signal conditions, striped patterns may appear on a TV screen and noise may enter the sound of radio broadcasts when the player's power is on. If this happens, turn the player's power off.

About condensation

If the player is moved suddenly from a cold place into a warm room (in winter, for example) or if the temperature in the room in which the player is installed rises suddenly due to a heater, etc., water droplets (condensation) may form inside (on operating parts and the lens). When condensation is present, the player will not operate properly and playback is not possible. Let the player stand at room temperature for 1 or 2 hours with the power turned on (the time depends on the extent of condensation). The water droplets will dissipate and playback will become possible. Condensation can also occur in the summer if the player is exposed to the direct wind from an air-conditioner. If this happens, move the player to a different place.

Cleaning the product

  • Unplug the power cord from the power outlet when cleaning the player.
  • Clean the player using a soft cloth. For tough dirt, apply some neutral detergent diluted in 5 to 6 parts water to a soft cloth, wring out thoroughly, wipe off the dirt, then wipe again with a soft, dry cloth.
  • Alcohol, thinner, benzene, insecticides, etc., could cause the print or paint to peel off. Also, leaving rubber or vinyl products in contact with the player for long periods of time could mar the cabinet.
  • When using chemical-impregnated wipes, etc., read the cautions included with the wipes carefully.

Caution for when the unit is installed in a rack with a glass door

Do not press ▲ OPEN/CLOSE on the remote control to open the disc tray while the glass door is closed. The door will hamper the movement of the disc tray, and the unit could be damaged.

Cleaning the lens

The 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 players are commercially available, we advise against using them since some may damage the lens.

  • Do not use benzene, thinner or other volatile chemicals. Also do not use record spray or antistatic agents.
  • For tough dirt, apply some water to a soft cloth, wring out thoroughly, wipe off the dirt, then wipe off the moisture with a dry cloth.
  • Do not use damaged (cracked or warped) discs.
  • Do not let the signal surface of discs get scratched or dirty.
  • Do not place two discs in the disc tray, one on top of the other.
  • Do not attach pieces of paper or stickers to discs. Doing so could warp discs, making it impossible to play them. Also note that rental discs often have labels attached to them, and the label's glue may have oozed out. Check that there is no glue around the edges of such labels before using rented discs.

About condensation on discs
