Note
• The default setting is for a Pioneer TV.
You can set up the supplied remote to control
your TV using the TV CONTROL buttons.
Using the on-screen displays
1
Switch on your TV.
For ease of use, this system makes extensive
use of graphical on-screen displays (OSDs).
You should get used to the way these work as
you’ll need to use them when setting up the
system, using some of the playback features,
such as program play, and when making more
advanced settings for audio and video.
2
Find the name of the manufacturer of
your TV in the Preset code list on page 70.
Next to each manufacturer is one or more
three digit codes. These tell the remote what
kind of TV you have.
If the name of the manufacturer of your TV
does not appear in the table, you won’t be able
to set up this remote to control your TV.
All the screens are navigated in basically the
same way, using the cursor buttons (ꢀ, ꢁ, ꢂ,
ꢃ) to change the highlighted item and
pressing ENTER to select it.
3
Point the remote at your TV, hold down
the CLR button, then enter the three digit
code for your TV.
The remote transmits an on/off signal to the TV.
If you’ve entered the correct code, your TV
should switch off.
Important
• Throughout this manual, ‘Select’ means
use the cursor buttons to highlight an item
on-screen, then press ENTER.
If your TV doesn’t turn off, repeat the procedure
using the next code in the list until your TV
switches off successfully. Once set, you can

Some movie formats are such that even
when played on a widescreen TV, black
bars are necessary at the top and bottom of
the screen. This is not a malfunction.
Note
• When a Video CD is loaded, the Resume
point is lost if the system is switched off, or
switched to a function other than DVD
(CD).
• I have a standard (4:3) TV and set the system
to show widescreen DVDs in pan & scan
format, so why do I still get black bars top
and bottom with some discs?
• For the Last Memory function to work, you
must press ꢀ (stop) to stop playback
before opening the disc tray.
Some discs override the display
preferences of the system, so even if you
have 4:3 (Pan & Scan) selected, those
discs will still be shown in letterbox format.
This is not a malfunction.
• The Last Memory function doesn’t work
with VR format DVD-RW discs.
FAQ
• After I load a DVD disc, it ejects
automatically after a few seconds!
DVD-Video disc menus
Many DVD-Video discs contain menus from
which you can select what you want to watch.
They may give access to additional features,
such as subtitle and audio language selection,
or special features such as slideshows. See the
disc packaging for details.
Most likely, the disc is the wrong region for
your system. The region number should be
printed on the disc; check it against the
region number of the system (which you
can find on the rear panel). See also DVD
Video regions on page 61.
Sometimes DVD-Video menus are displayed
automatically when you start playback; others
only appear when you press DVD MENU or
TOP MENU.
If the region number is OK, it may be that
the disc is damaged or dirty. Clean the disc
and look for signs of damage. See also
Using and taking care of discs on page 61.

About the listening modes
Auto listening mode
As explained in Home theater sound setup on
page 15, there are two basic surround speaker
setup options available. Of course you can
select any of the listening modes regardless of
how you place your speakers, but you will
achieve the best surround effect by using the
listening modes in conjunction with your
speaker setup:
The Auto listening mode is the simplest way to
listen to any source as it was mastered: the
output from the speakers mirrors the channels

Educate – Educational material
An introduction to RDS
Drama – Radio plays or serials
Radio Data System, or RDS as it’s usually
known, is a system used by FM radio stations
to provide listeners with various kinds of
information—the name of the station and the
kind of show they’re broadcasting, for example.
This information shows up as text on the
display, and you can switch between the kind
of information shown. Although you don’t get
RDS information from all FM radio stations,
you do with most.
Culture – National or regional culture,
theater, etc.
Science – Science and technology
Varied – Usually talk-based material, such
as quiz shows or interviews.
Pop M – Pop music
Rock M – Rock music
Easy M – Easy listening music
Light M – ‘Light’ classical music
Classics – ‘Serious’ classical music
Probably the best feature of RDS is that you
can search automatically by type of program.
So, if you felt like listening to jazz, you could
search for a station that’s broadcasting a show
with the program type, Jazz. There are around
30 such program types, including various
genres of music, news, sport, talk shows,
financial information, and so on.
Other M – Other music not fitting any of
the above categories
Weather – Weather reports
Finance – Stock market reports,
commerce, trading, etc.
The receiver lets you display three different
kinds of RDS information: Radio Text, Program
Service Name, and Program Type.
Children – Programs for children
Social – Social affairs
Radio Text (RT) is messages sent by the radio
station. These can be anything the broadcaster
chooses—a talk radio station might give out it
telephone number as RT, for example.
Religion – Programs concerning religion
Phone In – Public expressing their views
by phone
Travel – Holiday-type travel rather than
traffic announcements
Program Service Name (PS) is the name of the
radio station.
Leisure – Leisure interests and hobbies
Jazz – Jazz
Program Type (PTY) indicates the kind of
program currently being broadcast.
Country – Country music
The receiver can search for and display the
following program types:
Nation M – Popular music in a language
other than English
News – News
Oldies – Popular music from the ’50s and
’60s
Affairs – Current affairs
Info – General information
Sport – Sport
Folk M – Folk music
Document – Documentaries

07
In addition, there are three other program
types, TEST, Alarm!, and None. Alarm! and
TEST are used for emergency announcements.
You can’t search for these, but the tuner will
switch automatically to this RDS broadcast
signal. None appears when a program type
cannot be found.
Searching for RDS programs
One of the most useful features of RDS is the
ability to search for a particular kind of radio
program. You can search for any of the
program types listed on the previous page.
1
Press the TUNER button to select the FM
band.
RDS is only possible in the FM band.

different types of RDS information available
(RT, PS and PTY).

SEARCH appears in the display.

Each press changes the display as follows:
4
Press ENTER to search for the program
type.
• RT – Radio Text display
The system starts searching through the
station presets for a match. When it finds one,
the search stops and the station plays for five
seconds.
• PS – Program Service display
• PTY – Program Type display
• PTY SEARCH – see Searching for RDS
programs below
5
If you want to keep listening to the
station, press ENTER within the 5 seconds.
• Current tuner frequency
If you don’t press ENTER, searching resumes.
Note
• If any noise is picked up while displaying
the RT scroll, some characters may be
displayed incorrectly.
• If you see No Data in the RT display, it
means no RT data is transmitted from the
broadcast station. If you have entered a
name for the station, it is broadcast instead
of RT data. If you haven’t, the display will
automatically switch to the PS data
display. If no PS data is transmitted from
the station, the frequency will be displayed.
• In the PTY display, there are cases where
No Data or None is shown. If this
happens, the PS display is shown after a
few seconds.

The default setting of this system is AUTO, and
unless you notice that the picture is distorted
when playing some discs, you should leave it
set to AUTO. If you experience picture
distortion with some discs, set the TV system to
match your country or region’s system. Doing
this, however, may restrict the kinds of disc you
can watch. The table below shows what kinds
of disc are compatible with each setting
(AUTO, PAL and NTSC).
Most models of the newly developed count-
down PAL TV system detect 50 Hz (PAL)/60 Hz
(NTSC) and automatically switch vertical
amplitude, resulting in a display without
vertical shrinkage. However, in some cases,
the image may appear without color.
If your PAL TV does not have a V-Hold control,
you may not be able to watch NTSC discs
because of picture roll. If the TV has a V-Hold
control, adjust it until the picture stops rolling.

Handling discs
When holding discs of any type, take care not
to leave fingerprints, dirt or scratches on the
disc surface. Hold the disc by its edge or by the
center hole and edge.
CDs and Video CD/Super VCDs are divided into
tracks.
Damaged or dirty discs can affect playback
performance. Take care also not to scratch the
label side of the disc. Although not as fragile as
the recorded side, scratches can still result in
a disc becoming unusable.
Track 1 Track 2 Track 3 Track 4 Track 5 Track 6
CD-ROMs contain folders and files. MP3 and
WMA files are referred to as tracks. Folders
may contain further folders.
Should a disc become marked with
fingerprints, dust, etc., clean using a soft, dry
cloth, wiping the disc lightly from the center to
the outside edge as shown in the diagram
below.

DVD Video regions
All DVD Video discs carry a region mark on the
case somewhere that indicates which
region(s) of the world the disc is compatible
with. Your DVD system also has a region mark,
which you can find on the rear panel. Discs
from incompatible regions will not play in this
player. Discs marked ALL will play in any
player.
Wipe lightly from the center of the disc using
straight strokes.
Don’t wipe the disc surface using circular
strokes.

Additional information
If necessary, use a cloth soaked in alcohol, or a
commercially available CD/DVD cleaning kit to
clean a disc more thoroughly. Never use
benzine, thinner or other cleaning agents,
including products designed for cleaning vinyl
records.
This unit is designed for use with conventional,
fully circular discs only. Use of shaped discs is
not recommended for this product. Pioneer
disclaims all liability arising in connection with
the use of shaped discs.
Proper installation and
maintenance of this system
Storing discs
Although CDs and DVD discs are more durable
than vinyl records, you should still take care to
handle and store discs correctly. When you're
not using a disc, return it to its case and store
upright. Avoid leaving discs in excessively cold,
humid, or hot environments (including under
direct sunlight).
Hints on installation
We want you to enjoy using this system for
years to come, so please bear in mind the
following points when choosing a suitable
location for it:
Don't glue paper or put stickers onto the disc,
or use a pencil, ball-point pen or other sharp-
tipped writing instrument. These could all
damage the disc.
Do...
ꢄUse in a well-ventilated room.
ꢄPlace on a solid, flat, level surface, such as
a table, shelf or stereo rack.
Don’t...
ꢅ Use in a place exposed to high
temperatures or humidity, including near
radiators and other heat-generating
appliances.
For more detailed care information see the
instructions that come with discs.
Do not load more than one disc into the player
at a time.
ꢅ Place on a window sill or other place where
the system will be exposed to direct
sunlight.
ꢅ Use in an excessively dusty or damp
Discs to avoid
environment.
Discs spin at high speed inside the player. If
you can see that a disc is cracked, chipped,
warped, or otherwise damaged, don't risk
using it in your player—you could end up
damaging the unit.
ꢅ Place directly on top of an amplifier, or
other component in your stereo system
that becomes hot in use.
ꢅ Use near a television or monitor as you may
experience interference—especially if the
television uses an indoor antenna.
ꢅ Use in a kitchen or other room where the
system may be exposed to smoke or steam.
ꢅ Use on a thick rug or carpet, or cover with
cloth—this may prevent proper cooling of
the system.

ꢅ Place on an unstable surface, or one that is
not large enough to support all four of the
unit’s feet.
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 an electric
shock. Do not place this 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 such that they are not likely to be
stepped on. A damaged power cord can cause
a fire or give you an electrical shock.
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.
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.
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 its
performance. For this reason you should leave
it to adjust to the warmer temperature for
about an hour before switching on and using.
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 ꢃ
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.
Never lift or move the unit during playback—
discs rotate at a high speed and may be
damaged.
Note
• Unplugging the unit before Good Bye
disappears from the display may cause the
system to return to the factory settings.

Additional information
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.
Screen sizes and disc formats
DVD-Video discs come in several different
screen aspects, ranging from TV programs,
which are generally 4:3, to CinemaScope
widescreen movies, with an aspect ratio of up
to about 7:3.
Televisions also come in different aspect
ratios; ‘standard’ 4:3 and widescreen 16:9.
Widescreen TV users
Please note that many widescreen discs
override the system’s settings so that the disc
is shown in letterbox format regardless of the
setting.
If you have a widescreen TV, the TV Screen
setting (see Video Output settings on page 49)
of this system should be set to 16:9 (Wide).
When you watch discs recorded in 4:3 format,
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.
Tip
• Using the 16:9 (Wide) setting with a
standard 4:3 TV, or either of the 4:3 settings
with a widescreen TV, will result in a
distorted picture.
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
‘letterbox’ style with black bars at the top and
bottom of the screen.
Selecting languages using the
language code list
Some of the language options (see Language
settings on page 50) allow you to set your
preferred language from any of the 136
languages listed in the Language code list on
page 69.
Standard TV users
If you have a standard TV, the TV Screen
setting (see Video Output settings on page 49)
of this system should be set to 4:3 (Letter Box)
or 4:3 (Pan&Scan), depending on which you
prefer.
