INTRODUCTION
Cautions on Using this Player
Do not move the player during
playback
During playback, the disc spins at high
speed, so do not lift or move the
player. Doing so may damage the disc.
When transporting the player
Be sure to remove the disc and close
the lid when transporting the player.
Also slide the power switch to turn off
the power, then unplug the power cord
once “OFF” on the display window
turns off and the power indicator (red)
lights. Transporting the player with a
disc loaded may result in damage.
Place of installation
•Select a stable place near the TV or
stereo system to which you are going
to connect the player.
•Do not place the player on top of a TV
or color monitor. Install the player
away from cassette decks or other
devices which are easily affected by
magnetic forces.
Do not place objects on top of the
player
Do not place any objects on top of the
player.
Turn off the power when not using
the player
Depending on the TV reception
conditions, stripes may appear on the
TV screen when the TV is turned on
while the player’s power is on. This is
not a malfunction of the player or the
TV. If this should happen, turn off the
player’s power. Noise may also be
generated in the sound of a radio when
the player’s power is on.
Special note regarding use of player
in vehicles
•We strongly advise against using the
player while driving.
•Most countries and states have laws
which prohibit or severely restrict the
use of the player in vehicles while
driving.
•Do not leave the player or the battery
pack in places where the tempera-
ture is extremely low (about –10°C or
lower) or extremely high (about 60°C
or higher), such as inside the
passenger cabin or trunk in midsum-
mer. Doing so may warp the outer
case or reduce the performance or
quality of the battery pack.
When carrying on planes
Heed the airline company’s rules.
When carrying in hospitals
Heed the hospital’s rules.

Cautions on Using this Player
Cleaning the player
Normally clean the player using a soft,
dry 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
off the player with a dry cloth. Note
that alcohol, thinner, benzene,
insecticides, etc., may cause the print
or coating to peel off. Also avoid
leaving rubber or plastic products in
contact with the player for long periods
of time, as this may damage the
cabinet. When using chemically
treated cloths, read the cloth’s
instructions carefully. Always unplug
the power cord from the power outlet
before cleaning the player.
To clean dirt off the liquid crystal
display, wipe the display gently with a
soft, dry cloth (such as an eyeglass
cleaning cloth). Note that leaving
water droplets on the display for long
periods of time may result in
discoloration or stains. For tough dirt,
use a commercially available liquid
crystal display cleaner.
Copyrights
Unauthorized duplication, broadcast,
public performance or rental of discs is
prohibited by law.

En
INTRODUCTION
Operation of the battery pack
•Charge the battery pack fully before using
it for the first time.
•When the surrounding temperature is
high, the battery pack may sometimes be
unusable due to activation of protection
circuitry.
•When the portable DVD player is powered
from the battery pack and if the player has
not been operated for about 5 minutes
with the power switched on, the player
will turn off automatically. (Auto power
OFF)
•During battery pack operation, the display
of the portable DVD player may become
dim. This is to save power and is not a
malfunction.
•The battery pack becomes hot after use
and the portable DVD player also becomes
hot during use. This is not malfunction.
•When the battery pack is not to be used
for a long period, be sure to remove it
from the portable DVD player. If the
battery pack is left attached, continual
flow of weak current renders it
overdischarged and eventually unusable
even when you try to charge it later.
•If the portable DVD player is switched on
while the battery pack is not fully charged,
the operation may sometimes be
unstable. Be sure to charge the battery
pack fully before use.
Precautions for Battery Pack Operation (PDV-LC10)
Storage
•The battery pack should be stored under
an surrounding temperature between 15
and 25°C. Avoid storing it under extremely
low temperatures, in a place with high
temperature and high humidity or in a
place subject to soot, etc.
•When the battery pack is stored for a long
period, at least once an year it is
recommended to discharge it fully on the
portable DVD player, recharge it fully and
store it again.
Service life and disposal
•When the charging time or available
operation time becomes extremely short,
the battery may be reaching the end of its
life. The battery pack can be used for
about 300 cycles of recharging and
operations.
•To dispose of a used battery pack, wrap a
piece of tape around the terminal section
and treat it in compliance with your local
regulations.
To extend the service life of the battery
pack
The battery pack incorporates nickel-
hydrogen cells. To extend its service life, it
is recommended to discharge it fully before
every recharging.

Types of Discs Playable on this Player
DVDs are divided in units called titles, which are further divided in chapters. They
also include menu screens that do not belong to any title. With movies, normally
one movie corresponds to one title. On karaoke discs, one song corresponds to
one title. Some discs are not divided in this way, however, so be careful when
using the search and programming functions.

Disc operation
With some DVDs it is intentionally prohibited to change the operating method or
to perform certain operations. Because of this, operating procedures may differ
for different discs and for some discs certain operations may not be possible.
With Pioneer DVD players, a mark indicating the operation is prohibited
(“prohibition mark”) is displayed on the screen when the user attempts to
perform a prohibited operation. In addition, with discs on which interactive
operations are possible on menus or during playback, the data on the disc is
branched rather than continuous, so some operations (repeat, programming, etc.)
may not be possible. In such cases, Pioneer DVD players display a prohibition
mark.

Using These Operating Instructions
Be sure to read these operating
instructions before using the player
to ensure you take maximum
advantage of all the functions this
player offers. Note that these
operating instructions describe the
operation of two players, the PDV-
LC10 portable DVD player with
liquid crystal display and the PDV-10
portable DVD player. Some
descriptions use illustrations of the
type equipped with a liquid crystal
display.
• When this player is connected to a
TV or AV amplifier, the setup screen
must be displayed and the various
settings must be switched according
to the connected equipment. This
player is equipped with an extremely
convenient function called the
“Setup Navigator” in which the disc
language setting and connection
settings are set automatically when
the user answers questions in
interactive fashion. (Page 42)
• With DVDs it is possible to switch
the subtitle and audio languages and
to select the desired sound mode
from among multiple sound tracks
(Dolby Digital, DTS, etc.). The setup
screen is where these settings are
stored temporarily. This player is
equipped with two levels of setup
screens, “Basic” and “Expert”,
which can be selected as necessary
according to the viewing
environment and the frequency of
use of the different setting items.
(Page 57)
• In order to take full advantage of the
many functions this player has to
offer, be sure to store these
operating instructions in a readily
accessible place.

TV SYSTEM switch
Video output changes as follows
according to the playback disc‘s
recorded format.
NTSC =PAL, PAL =NTSC conversion
is possible on Video CDs. PAL =NTSC
conversion is not possible on DVDs.
When the TV SYSTEM switch is set to
the AUTO position, the disc’s format
will be output as is. When a CD or disc
is not loaded, the previous video
output format will be selected.
About MOD. (Modulation) PAL
•SHRINK
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.
•If your PAL TV does not have a V-Hold
control, you may not be able to view
NTSC disc because the picture may
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 =PAL conversion.
