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.

EV-500-1000.book 52

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.
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

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). 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.

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.
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 interferenceespecially 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 cloththis 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 units feet.

Protecting your recordings
You can protect an important recording against accidental erasure by breaking the erase-protect tab(s) with a small screwdriver.
Erase-protect tab (For side A)
Erase-protect tab (For side B)

EV-500-1000.book 53

Cleaning the pickup lens
The DVD players 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 wont 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 theres one in the player, then press 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 playback discs rotate at high speeds and may damage.

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 movies1, with an aspect ratio of up to about 7:3. Televisions also come in different aspect ratios; standard 4:3 and widescreen 16:9.2
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 dont actually see the whole picture.
Using the language code list
Some of the language options (see Language settings on page 45) allow you to set your preferred language from any of the 136 languages listed in the Language code list.

Select Other Language.

2 Use / (cursor left/right) to select either a code letter or a code number. 3 Use / (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.
1 Many widescreen discs override the systems settings so that the disc is shown in letterbox format regardless of the setting. 2 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 letterbox style.
