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.

The disc revolves in the player at high speed when it is played.

Never play a cracked, scratched or warped disc. This may damage

the player or cause it to malfunction.

may become excessively hot.

CAUTION WHEN USING THE DISC

POWER-CORD CAUTION

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

Term s

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

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.

Condition m em ory

Manufactured under license from Dolby Laboratories, “Dolby”,

and the double-D symbol are trademarks of Dolby Laboratories.

“Condition” refers to the various mode settings etc. On this

player, various conditions, such as those set during playback

etc. can be memorized. This function allows you to play back

the same disc at any time without having to reset the condition

settings.

We Want You Listening For A Lifetime

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

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

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.

Rocket launching pad

Information courtesy of the Deafness Research Foundation.

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.
