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

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, player’s 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.

Handle the power cord by the plug. Do not pull out the plug
by tugging the cord and never touch the power cord when
your hands are wet as this could cause a short circuit or
electric shock. Do not place the unit, a piece of furniture,
etc., on the power cord, or pinch the cord. Never make a
knot in the cord or tie it with other cords. The power cords
should be routed in such a way that they are not likely to be
stepped on. A damaged power cord can cause a fire or give
you an electrical shock. Check the power cord once in a while.
When you find it damaged, ask your nearest PIONEER
authorized service center or your dealer for a replacement.
Unauthorized public performance, broadcasting or copying is a
violation of applicable laws.

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, it’s 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.
DOLBY

L
Video CDs
For DVD discs, the digital output PCM/Ÿ jack (coaxial or optical)
must be connected to the amplifier or processor’s 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
camera’s 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 camera’s 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.

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

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.

damage or loss in the future. After all, we want you listening for a
lifetime.
