There should be graphics but....  
If you play CD graphics discs with the graphics mode  
switched ON, and still no graphics are displayed, the  
problem could be due to inappropriate graphics  
channel setting, or because the graphics display is in  
the wrong position on the screen. Refer to pages 39  
and 40.  
When playing a disc with no graphics recorded on it  
in rare cases erroneous graphics may be displayed,  
but this does not mean the player is malfunctioning.  
When playing discs without recorded graphics, be sure  
to switch the graphics mode OFF.  
Tips  
During playback of CD graphics, performing the following  
operations may result in missing subtitles and picture and  
subtitle color changes, but this is not a malfunction. Wait a  
little, and normal graphics display resumes.

For Proper and Long Use  
7 DO NOT MOVE THE UNIT DURING  
7 CAUTION: WHEN PLACING THE UNIT  
PLAYBACK  
IN A STEREO RACK WITH GLASS  
During playback, the disc rotates at high speed. Do NOT lift or  
move the unit during playback. Doing so may damage the disc.  
DOORS  
Be sure there is ample space between the unit and the  
glass doors when opening the disc table using the remote  
control. If the disc table opens against strong resistance,  
such as a closed glass door, damage to the unit may result.  
7 WHEN MOVING THE UNIT  
When there is a power outage, the power is turned off during  
playback, with the STANDBY/ON button on the main unit or you  
disconnect the player from the wall outlet while the power is  
ON, settings are cleared. Before disconnecting the power cord,  
press the STANDBY/ON button on the remote control to enter  
the unit to standby mode after distinguishing the “– OFF –”  
display, then press the STANDBY/ON button on the main unit.  
7 CONDENSATION  
Moisture will form in the operating section of the player if the  
player is brought from cool surroundings into a warm room or  
if the temperature of the room rises suddenly. When this  
happens, players performance will be impaired.  
To prevent this, let the player stand in its new surroundings  
for about an hour before switching it on, or make sure that the  
room temperature rises gradually.  
7 INSTALLATION  
÷ Select a stable place to the side of a TV set or stereo system  
to be connected to the unit.  
Condensation may also form during the summer if the player  
is exposed to the breeze from an air conditioner. In such cases,  
change the location of the player.  
÷ When using the unit with a stereo system, install the  
speakers a little bit away from the TV.  
÷ Do NOT install the unit on top of a TV or color monitor.  
Install the unit away from equipment that may be affected  
by magnetism, such as a cassette deck.  
7 AVOID INSTALLING IN A PLACE THAT  
IS:  
÷ Exposed to direct sunlight  
÷ Exposed to humidity or where ventilation is poor  
÷ Extremely hot or cold  
7 SWITCH POWER OFF WHEN NOT  
USING THE UNIT  
÷ Exposed to vibration  
Depending on the strength of the TV or radio broadcast signal,  
having the TV or radio ON while power to the unit is ON may  
result in stripes on the TV screen or noise. However, this is  
not a malfunction of this unit or the TV or radio. In such a case,  
switch power to the unit OFF.  
÷ Exposed to dust  
÷ Exposed to oily smoke, steam or heat (for example, a  
kitchen)  
7 DO NOT PLACE AN OBJ ECT ON TOP  
Do NOT place an object on the unit.  
7 DO NOT BLOCK VENTS  
Do NOT use the player on top of a long-fibered carpet, bed or  
sofa, and do not cover it with a cloth etc.. This will prevent  
heat radiation and could result in damage.  
7 AVOID HEAT  
When the DVD player's audio output is connected to a TV, VCR,  
or other component's audio input, excessively high signal in-  
put from a MIC when enjoying karaoke may result in distortion  
and other adverse effects. If this happens, turn MIC volume  
down, or switch the Attenuator switch on the rear of the player  
ON. (See P.62)  
Do NOT place the unit on equipment generating heat, such as  
an amplifier.  
When installing the unit in a rack, place it on the lowest shelf  
possible (however, not where it is exposed to dust) and  
separated from the amplifier to avoid the heat generated by  
the amplifier or other audio equipment.

CLEANING CARE  
CARE OF DISCS  
Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning. For stubborn dirt, soak the  
cloth in a weak detergent solution; wring well first and wipe.  
Use a dry cloth to wipe it dry. Do not use any volatile agents  
such as benzine or paint thinner, as they may damage the  
surface of the player.  
How to hold discs  
When loading or removing discs, try not to touch their playing surfaces.  
Lens cleaner  
Cleaning  
The player's pickup lens should not become dirty in normal  
use, but if for some reason it should malfunction due to soiling,  
contact your nearest PIONEER authorized service center. Lens  
cleaners are commercially available, but special care should  
be exercised in their use since some may cause damage to  
the lens.  
Fingerprints or other dirt on the disc may affect sound and picture  
quality.  
To clean your discs, use a soft clean cloth to wipe them. If necessary,  
moisten a soft cloth with diluted neutral detergent to remove heavy  
dirt or fingerprints.  
Notes on using the optional  
optical cable  
Gently wipe from the  
inside toward the outer edge.  
Do not wipe in a circular  
direction  
(Concentric scratches in the disc  
groove tend to cause noise.)  
÷ Do not route cords around sharp angles. When storing,  
wind the cords so that they have a diameter of at least 15  
cm (6 in.).  
Discs must not be cleaned with record cleaning sprays, or static  
prevention sprays, etc. Also do not use volatile liquids such as benzine,  
or thinner, etc.  
÷ When connecting, push all the way into the terminal.  
÷ Do not use cords with a length of over 3m (10 ft.).  
÷ If moisture or dust has collected on the plug, wipe it with  
a soft cloth before connecting.  
NEVER PLAY CRACKED OR WARPED DISCS.

TOC  
Dolby digital (AC-3)*  
TOC (Table Of Contents) information is data other than audio  
signal data, recorded at the beginning of a disc. As the name  
implies, its like the list of contents in a book, with information  
such as the number of songs and playback time.  
Dolby Digital(AC-3) delivers up to 5.1 channels of discrete multi-  
channel audio. This is the same system that is used for  
surround sound in Dolby Digital equipped movie theaters.

Video CDs  
For DVD discs, the digital output PCM/Ÿ jack (coaxial or optical)  
must be connected to the amplifier or processors digital input  
AC-3/PCM jack.  
These discs provide MD quality sound, and VHS quality video  
images. Thanks to MPEG1, the digital signal compression  
system, a single disc provides up to 74 minutes of continuous  
digital audio and video. There are also Video CDs with Playback  
Control (PBC) that let you select playback of desired scenes  
using menus, and view still images.  
PCM  
PCM stands for Pulse Code Modulation and is digital audio.  
The digital audio of CD or DVD discs is PCM.  
Playback Control (PBC)  
This refers to signals recorded on a Video CD (Version 2.0)  
enabling playback control.  
You can use menus recorded on discs with PBC for easy,  
interactive search for desired scenes, and playback.  
You can also enjoy viewing high-resolution/standard resolution  
still images.  
DTS  
DTS stands for Digital Theater System. DTS is a surround  
system different to the Dolby Digital (AC-3) system. In order  
to enjoy the benefits of DTS discs, the digital output jack (either  
coaxial or optical) of this player needs to be connected to the  
DTS input jack of an amplifier or processor.  
High-resolution im ages  
MPEG  
If the high-resolution still images are recorded on the Video  
CD, you can enjoy viewing them with four times the resolution  
of moving images.  
Short for Moving Picture Experts Group. This is an international  
standard for compression of moving images. On some DVDs  
digital audio has been compressed and recorded in this format.  
Multi-angle  
Title num ber  
When you watch regular TV programs you are watching the  
image filmed through the TV camera. Because of this the  
picture is displayed on your TV from the view point of the TV  
cameras position. In a TV studio the image is filmed by many  
cameras at the same time, and one of those images is selected  
by the program director and transmitted to your TV. If all the  
filmed images were transmitted to your TV you would be able  
to select the camera image you want. Some DVD discs are  
recorded with the angles of all cameras used for filming and  
these can be selected using this player. These types of discs  
are called multi-angle discs.  
Title numbers refer to titles of movies etc. As DVD discs have  
a large capacity, many movies can be recorded on one disc.  
For example, when 3 different movies are recorded on a disc,  
they are divided into TITLE 1, TITLE 2 and TITLE 3. Playback  
can be operated by selecting the title number.  
Chapter num ber  
Chapter numbers are the numbers assigned to sections on a  
title of the disc, similar to chapters in a book. If the disc includes  
these numbers, you can locate the section you want very  
quickly using chapter search and other functions.  
Aspect  
Tim e num ber  
Aspect ratio refers to the length to height ratio of TV screens.  
The ratio of a normal TV is 4:3, while the ratio of a Hi-vision TV  
or wide TV is 16:9. This allows you to enjoy a picture with a  
wider perspective.  
The time number is the playback lapse time of a title in the  
disc from its beginning. The scene you want to locate can be  
searched for with the time number using the time number  
function etc..  
Parental level  
This function was suggested by parents. Parental level  
restrictions are restrictions incorporated into scenes that  
parents do not wish their children to view.

EST 1924  
Used wisely, your new sound equipment will provide a lifetime of  
fun and enjoyment. Since hearing damage from loud noise is often  
undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer and the Electronic  
Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group recommend  
you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise. This list of sound  
levels is included for your protection.  
Want You  
LISTENING  
For A Lifetime  
Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you’ve just  
purchased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it’s time  
to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your  
equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries  
Association’sConsumerElectronicsGroupwantyoutogetthemost  
out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the  
sound come through loud and clear without annoying blaring or  
distortion-and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive  
hearing.  
Decibel  
Level Example  
30  
40  
50  
60  
70  
80  
Quiet library, soft whispers  
Living room, refrigerator, bedroom away from traffic  
Light traffic, normal conversation, quiet office  
Air conditioner at 20 feet, sewing machine  
Vacuum cleaner, hair dryer, noisy restaurant  
Average city traffic, garbage disposals, alarm clock  
at two feet.  
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level”  
adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds “normal” can  
actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by  
setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.  
THE FOLLOWING NOISES CAN BE DANGEROUS  
UNDER CONSTANT EXPOSURE  
90  
100  
120  
140  
180  
Subway, motorcycle, truck traffic, lawn mower  
Garbage truck, chain saw, pneumatic drill  
Rock band concert in front of speakers, thunderclap  
Gunshot blast, jet plane  
To establish a safe level:  
÷ Start your volume control at a low setting.  
÷ Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and  
clearly, and without distortion.

Once you have established a comfortable sound level:  
÷ Set the dial and leave it there.

Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing  
damage or loss in the future. After all, we want you listening for a  
lifetime.
