Additional information 10 English Deutsch Français Italiano Nederlands Español 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 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. Moving the system unit 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 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 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 Widescreen TV users If you have a widescreen TV, the TV Screen setting (page 30) of this player should be set to 16:9 (Wide) or 16:9 (Compressed). 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. Standard TV users If you have a standard TV, the TV Screen setting (page 30) of this player 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. 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. Note 1 Unplugging the unit before GOOD BYE 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. 43 En
