Resume and Last Memory

When you stop playback of a DVD or Video CD disc, Resume shows in the display indicating that you can resume playback from that point. If the disc tray is not opened, the next time you start playback the display shows Resume and playback resumes from the resume point. For DVD discs only: If you take the disc out of the player, the play position is stored in memory. When you load the disc next time, the display shows Last Mem and you can resume playback (this works for up to five discs). If you want to clear the resume/last memory point, press (stop) while Resume or Last Mem is displayed.
FOLDER +/ Skips to the next/previous folder when playing an WMA/MP3 disc.

XV-DV525.book 24

Note When a Video CD is loaded, the Resume point is lost if the system is switched off, or switched to a function other than DVD (CD). For the Last Memory function to work, you must press (stop) to stop playback before opening the disc tray. The Last Memory function doesnt work with VR format DVD-RW discs. FAQ After I load a DVD disc, it ejects automatically after a few seconds! Most likely, the disc is the wrong region for your system. The region number should be printed on the disc; check it against the region number of the system (which you can find on the rear panel). See also DVD Video regions on page 67. If the region number is OK, it may be that the disc is damaged or dirty. Clean the disc and look for signs of damage. See also Using and taking care of discs on page 67. Why wont the disc I loaded play? First check that you loaded the disc the right way up (label side up), and that its clean and not damaged. See Using and taking care of discs on page 67 for information on cleaning discs. If a disc loaded correctly wont play, its probably an incompatible format or disc type, such as DVD-Audio or DVD-ROM. See Disc / content format playback compatibility on page 8 for more on disc compatibility. I have a widescreen TV so why are there black bars at the top and bottom of the screen when I play some discs?

TV -> OFF/PDP15/PDPTV Matches the TV function of this unit with a numbered video input on the plasma display. For example, TV -> PDP1 matches the TV input with video input 1 on the plasma display.
Setting the channel levels
You can set the relative channel levels from your main listening position for all of the listening modes independently. However, the SURROUND modes are divided into two independent groups: multichannel listening modes and stereo listening modes only. If you used the Room Setup feature (page 20), the channel levels for each listening mode will already be set. However, you can still fine-tune the levels here if you need to.

Watching NTSC on a PAL TV (MOD. PAL)
Most models of the newly developed countdown 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. If the 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.

TV format setting

The default setting of this system is AUTO, and unless you notice that the picture is distorted when playing some discs, you should leave it set to AUTO. If you experience picture distortion with some discs, set the TV system to match your country or regions system. Doing this, however, may restrict the kinds of disc you can watch. The table below shows what kinds of disc are compatible with each setting (AUTO, PAL and NTSC).

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 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.
CDs and Video CD/Super VCDs are divided into tracks.

DVD Video regions

All DVD Video discs carry a region mark on the case somewhere that indicates which region(s) of the world the disc is compatible with. Your DVD system also has a region mark, which you can find on the rear panel. Discs from incompatible regions will not play in this player. Discs marked ALL will play in any player. Wipe lightly from the center of the disc using straight strokes.
Dont wipe the disc surface using circular strokes.

XV-DV525.book 68

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.
This unit 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.

Storing discs

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 sharptipped writing instrument. These could all damage the disc.
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: Do. Use in a well-ventilated room. Place on a solid, flat, level surface, such as a table, shelf or stereo rack. Dont. 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.

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.

Widescreen TV users

If you have a widescreen TV, the TV Screen setting (see Video Output settings on page 55) 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 a widescreen TV, these discs will still play in a letterbox style with black bars at the top and bottom of the screen.
Please note that many widescreen discs override the systems settings so that the disc is shown in letterbox format regardless of the setting. Tip
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.
Selecting languages using the language code list
Some of the language options (see Language settings on page 56) allow you to set your preferred language from any of the 136 languages listed in the Language code list on page 78. 1 Select Other Language.

Standard TV users

If you have a standard TV, the TV Screen setting (see Video Output settings on page 55) 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.
2 Use the / (cursor left/right) buttons to select either a code letter or a code number. 3 Use the / (cursor up/down) buttons to select a code letter or a code number. See the Language code list (next page) for a complete list of languages and codes.
