1 Before You Start

Chapter 12 provides additional information, including a

glossary of terms used in this manual, and a trouble-

shooting section.

• When disposing of used batteries, please comply with

governmental regulations or environmental public

institution’s rules that apply in your country or area.

Using the remote control

Keep in mind the following when using the remote

control:

Putting the batteries in the remote

control

1 Open the battery compartment cover on

the back of the remote control.

• Make sure that there are no obstacles between the

remote control and the remote sensor on the unit.

• Use within 7 meters of the remote sensor and at an

angle of less than 30º.

• Remote operation may become unreliable if strong

sunlight or fluorescent light is shining on the unit’s

remote sensor.

2 Insert two AA/R6P batteries into the

battery compartment following the

indications (ª, ·) inside the

compartment.

• Remote controllers for different devices can interfere

with each other. Avoid using remotes for other equip-

ment located nearby this unit.

• Replace the batteries when you notice the operating

range of the remote starts to decrease.

Hints on installation

We want you to enjoy using this unit for years to come,

so please bear in mind the following points when

choosing a suitable location for it:

3 Close the cover.

Do...

ꢀ Use in a well-ventilated room.

ꢀ Place on a solid, flat, level surface, such as a table,

shelf or stereo rack.

Don’t...

• Remove the batteries if the remote is not going to be

used for a month or more.

✗ Use in a place exposed to high temperatures or

humidity, including near radiators and other heat-

generating appliances.

• Remove dead batteries promptly—they can leak and

damage the unit.

✗ Place on a window sill or other place where the

system will be exposed to direct sunlight.

✗ Use in an excessively dusty or damp environment.

✗ Place directly on top of an amplifier, or other

component in your stereo system that becomes hot in

use.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

Before You Start

✗ Use near a television or monitor as you may

experience interference—especially if the television

uses an indoor antenna.

✗ Use in a kitchen or other room where the system

may be exposed to smoke or steam.

Audio CD compatibility:

• 12cm or 8cm (5” or 3”) discs

✗ Use on a thick rug or carpet, or cover with cloth—

• Linear PCM digital audio

this may prevent proper cooling of the unit.

• CD-Audio, CD-R* and CD-RW* formats

CDs are divided into tracks.

✗ Place on an unstable surface, or one that is not large

enough to support all four of the unit’s feet.

* This system can play CD-R and CD-RW discs

recorded with audio. However, depending on the

condition of the player and the disc, you may find that

not all discs will play successfully. (For example, if the

disc is scratched or dirty, or if the player’s pickup lens is

dirty.) Note that this unit cannot record onto recordable

discs.

Avoiding problems with condensation

Condensation may form inside the system 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 system, 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.

Video CD compatibility:

• 12cm or 8cm (5” or 3”) discs

Moving the system

• MPEG-1 digital audio

If you need to move the system, first switch it off and

unplug from the wall outlet. Never lift or move the unit

during playback—discs rotate at a high speed and may

be damaged.

• MPEG-1 digital video

Video CDs are divided into tracks.

DVD Video regions

Discs compatible with this system

Any disc that displays one of the following logos should

play in this system. Other formats, including DVD-RAM,

DVD-ROM, DVD-Audio, CD-ROM, SACD and Photo CD

will not play.

ALL

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

system. Discs marked ^ALLwill play in any player.

DVD Video compatibility:

• Single-sided or double-sided discs

• Single layer or dual layer discs

• Dolby Digital, DTS, MPEG or Linear PCM digital

Connecting Up

The front and center speakers supplied with this system

are magnetically shielded. However, placing them

extremely close to a television may result in color

distortion on the screen. If this happens, move the

speakers a little further away and switch off the

television for 15–30 minutes.

Do not connect any of the supplied speakers to any

other amplifier. This may result in malfunction or fire.

This DVD receiver has been designed for best perfor-

mance when connected to the supplied speakers. We do

not, therefore, recommend that you connect and use

other speakers with this system.

The rear speakers and subwoofer are not magnetically

shielded, so they should not be placed near a TV or

monitor.

Placing the speakers

Where you put your speakers in the room has a big

effect on the quality of the sound. The following

guidelines should help you to get the best sound from

your system.

Wall mounting the rear speaker system

Before mounting

• The subwoofer can be placed on the floor. Ideally, the

other speakers should be at about ear-level when you’re

listening to them. Putting the speakers on the floor

(except the subwoofer), or mounting them very high on

a wall is not recommended.

• Remember that this speaker system is heavy and that

its weight may cause the wood screw to work loose or

the wall to fail to support it, in which case the speaker

system may fall on the floor. This is extremely danger-

ous. Make absolutely sure that the wall is sturdy enough

to support the weight of the speaker system. Do not

mount it on plywood boards or soft-surface walls. The

mounting screws are not included with this unit.

Please find the correct screws for your application.

• For the best stereo effect, place the front speakers 2–

3m apart.

• The rear speakers should not be further away from

your listening position than the front speakers.

• The center speaker should be as close as possible to

Wall-mounting bracket

the TV screen so that movie dialog is localized properly.

Your listening position

• If you are unsure of the qualities and strength of the

walls, consult a professional for advice.

• PIONEER is not responsible for any accidents or

damage that result from improper installation.

If you install the center speaker on top of your TV, be

sure to secure it with tape or by some other suitable

means. An unsecured speaker may fall from the TV due

to external shocks such as earthquakes, endangering

those nearby or damaging the speaker.

1 Use the supplied yellow video cord to

connect the VIDEO OUT jack to a video

input on your TV.

Setting the TV System

The default setting of this player is AUTO, and unless

you notice that the picture is distorted when playing

some discs, you should leave it set to ^AUTO.

Alternatively, you can use an S-Video cable (not

supplied) to connect the ^S-VIDEO OUT jack to an S-

Video input on your TV. S-Video should give you better

picture quality than using the standard ^{VIDEO OUT}.

If you experience picture distortion with some discs, set

the TV system to match your country or region.

1 Make sure that the system is in standby.

• See S-Video Out on page 39 for how to change the

S-Video setting between S1 and S2 format.

2 Press SYSTEM SETUP.

The current TV system is shown in the display.

2 Optionally: Use a stereo audio cord to

connect the audio outs of your TV (or

VCR) to the TV/VCR IN jacks.

This will enable you to hear the TV (or VCR) sound

through this system.

3 Use 5 or ∞ to change the TV system.

Switch between auto, ntsc and pal.

4 Press ENTER.

The system returns to standby power.

• If you want to connect both your TV and VCR, use

the ^TV/VCR IN jacks for one and the AUX IN jacks for

the other.

Placing the main unit too close to your TV may cause

interference, especially if you’re using an indoor

antenna. If you notice interference, move the unit away

from the TV.

•

Connect the FM wire antenna to the FM

UNBAL 75Ω terminals in the same way as

the AM loop antenna.

For best results, extend the FM antenna fully and fix to

a wall or door frame. Don’t drape loosely or leave coiled

up.

4 Setting Up

Switching on and setting the clock

This system has a built-in clock, which needs to be set

to be able to use the timer features.

Setting up for surround sound

You can use this system right out of the box for

surround sound with just the default settings. However,

for really great surround sound, we recommend that

you spend a few minutes making some settings that

match this system to your listening room. Unless you

change the layout of your speakers or main listening

position, you only need to make most of these settings

once.

See page 23 for more on surround modes.

4 Use the 5 and ∞ buttons to adjust the

level of a speaker as the test tone plays.

For best results, sit in your main listening position when

doing this. You can adjust each speaker in the range of

+/-10dB.

You can’t make these settings with the Record mode on.

See page 25 for how to switch the Record mode on/off.

5 When you're done, press TEST TONE

(SHIFT & CH LEVEL) to turn off the test

tone.

Balancing the surround sound

You can further improve surround sound performance

by balancing the levels from the subwoofer, center and

surround speakers relative to the front left/right

speakers. To help you judge the sound level of each

speaker a test tone is played through each speaker in

turn (make sure that there are no headphones

connected). Adjust the levels until they all sound equal.

The levels you set here will apply to all surround modes.

However, you can set levels independently for each DSP

mode.

Saving station presets

If you often listen to a particular radio station, it's

convenient to have the receiver store the frequency for

easy recall whenever you want to listen to that station.

This saves the effort of manually tuning in each time.

This system can save up to 30 station presets. When

saving FM frequencies, the receiver also saves the mono

setting (see Improving FM stereo sound above).

Using Surround Sound

Adjusting the bass and treble

The simplest way to shape the sound is by adjusting the

amount of bass and treble.

Using sound modes

The sound modes allow you to add various surround

and room-type sound effects to your DVDs, CDs and

other sources. These effects process the sound in various

ways to simulate different spaces such as a theater, or

concert hall.

• The bass and treble controls have no effect when

using the DSP modes, or when the surround mode is set

to anything other than ^STANDARD, AUTO or

SURR. OFF (surround off).

For Dolby Surround, Dolby Digital or DTS surround

sources, such as DVDs, use the Advanced Theater effects

to add room ambience to the sound; for stereo-only

sources, such as audio CDs, use the DSP modes.

• You cannot adjust the bass or treble when Record

mode is active (see Direct recording on page 25).

For each effect you can also adjust how strong the effect

sounds. Often, a more subtle effect level enhances the

sound better than turning it right up. Experiment to see

what works best for you.

1 Press SOUND.

2 Use the 2 or 3 buttons to select BASS or

TREBLE.

Listening to surround-sound sources

When you play DVD discs with Dolby Digital or DTS

sound, choose from the following sound settings.

3 Use the 5 and ∞ buttons to adjust the

sound.

You can see the current level in the display.

• Auto – For digital sources, decoding is automati-

cally selected according to the source: Dolby Digital,

DTS, Dolby Pro Logic, 2-channel stereo, etc. No extra

effects are added to the source. Analog sources are

played in the same way as the Surround Off setting.

4 Press ENTER.

Using P.Bass

In addition to the standard controls for adjusting bass

and treble, this system has a P.Bass feature. Switch this

on to further extend the bass.

• Standard – As Auto, except that 2-channel

(analog or digital) sources are processed using Dolby

Pro Logic for surround-sound effects.

The following six settings are Advanced Theater effects.

• Musical – Concert hall sound.

• P.Bass has no effect when listening through

headphones.

• Drama – Classic, mid-size movie theater sound.

• Action – Large, modern movie theater sound.

• You cannot adjust P.Bass when Record mode is active

(see Direct recording on page 25).

• Virtual Surround 1 (VIR.SURR.1) –

Virtual surround sound from just the main front stereo

speakers and a subwoofer. Use this mode if you can't use

the surround speakers.

6 Using Surround Sound

• Surround Off (SUR.OFF) – All sources are

played through only the front left and right speakers,

and the subwoofer. No effects are added.

• The DSP effects cannot be used in combination with

the surround modes or with 96kHz digital sources.

• When playing stereo sources with DSP effects

switched off, there is no sound from the surround and

center speakers.

• The surround modes cannot be used in combination

with DSP effects or with 96kHz digital sources.

DSP effects or Advanced Theater effects. It is not possible

to change the effect level of the ^AUTOor STANDARD

surround mode (or when DSP or Surround modes are

Listening to other sources with room

effects

You can add room effects to audio CDs and other stereo

sources using the DSP modes. Different effects work

better with different kinds of music, so don’t be afraid to

experiment a little.

• You cannot change the effect level when Record

mode is active (see Direct recording on the following

page).

There are seven DSP effects to choose from:

• Hall 1 – Large, wood-paneled concert hall sound.

• Hall 2 – Large, stone-walled concert hall sound.

disappear once the programmed chapters start playing.

2 Press ENTER or 6 to start random play.

• To stop the disc and cancel random playback,

press 7.

More programming options

There are several other options available when making/

using program lists.

• To cancel random playback without stopping

playback, press ^CLEAR. The rest of the disc plays out.

•

To view the playlist, press PROGRAM

(SHIFT & 7).

During random play, the 4 and ¢ buttons

function a little differently to normal: 4 returns to

the beginning of the current track/chapter. You can't go

back further than this. ¢ selects another track/

chapter at random from those remaining.

To delete an entry from the playlist,

position the cursor on the title/chapter/

track number and press CLEAR.

•

To add an entry to the end of the playlist,

press PROGRAM (SHIFT & 7), enter the

title/chapter/track number, then press

program again.

Using repeat play

You can set the player to repeat individual tracks on CDs

or Video-CDs, chapters or titles on DVD discs, a whole

disc, or all the discs loaded in the player. It's also

possible to loop a section of a disc.

To delete the playlist, exit the program

list screen, stop playback, then press

CLEAR.

You can use the repeat together with the programming

mode to repeat the tracks/chapters in the playlist (see

page 27 for how to program a playlist).

Using random play

Use the random play function to play titles/chapters/

tracks in a random order.

1 Press REPEAT (SHIFT & 9) during play-

back to select a repeat mode.

How random play works depends on the disc currently

in the play position. If the ‘current’ disc is a DVD, you

can play either the titles or chapters on that disc at

random. If the ‘current’ disc is an audio or Video CD,

you can play either the tracks on that disc, or all the

tracks on all the CDs and Video CDs loaded at random

(DVD discs loaded will be ignored).

Each press switches the repeat mode:

• Chapter Repeat

• Title Repeat

• Repeat Off

automatically stops.

• The Repeat All function repeats all tracks on all

audio and Video CDs loaded. If, during repeat play, the

unit encounters a DVD disc, it will start playing, but the

repeat mode will be canceled.

• In CD Mode, use the DISC SKIP button to rotate the

disc tray to the next CD loaded (if there is one).

• You can use repeat and random play in CD Mode

(see page 28 and this page).

2 To resume normal playback, press CLEAR.

• You can't switch on CD mode while playing a DVD or

Video CD. Stop playback first.

You can use repeat play with program play and random

play. During program/random play, press ^REPEAT

(SHIFT & 9).

• Program play is not possible in CD Mode. However, it

is possible to program a playlist. When you start

program play, CD Mode is canceled (see page 27).

Looping a section of a disc

•

Press REP A-B (SHIFT & 10/0) once at

the start of the section you want to

repeat, then again at the end.

Bookmarking a place in a disc

Playback immediately jumps back to the start point and

plays the loop repeatedly.

If you watch only part of a DVD disc with the intention

of picking up later where you left off, you can bookmark

the place then resume playback at a later date without

having to manually search for the right place.

• On a DVD disc, the start and end points of the loop

must be in the same title.

You can use this feature for up to five discs (after that

the oldest bookmark is deleted to make space for a new

one).

• To resume normal playback, press ^CLEAR.

•

To repeat a section of a disc just once,

press REP A-B (SHIFT & 10/0) at the

start of the section, then 6 at the end.

Playback jumps back to the start point.

•

At the point from which you want to

resume playback next time, press LAST

MEMO (SHIFT & 2).

Press 7 if you want to stop playback here.

Playing CDs only (CD Mode)

Using this feature you can play only the CDs loaded in

the disc tray—automatically skipping over any DVDs or

Video CDs loaded. This may be useful if you have a

mixture of discs loaded but only want to play music:

you don't have to keep track of what kind of disc is

where in the disc tray.

To resume playback, load the disc and

press LAST MEMO (SHIFT & 2).

If the disc starts auto playback, stop it first.

• To clear the bookmark for the disc loaded, press

LAST MEMO (SHIFT & 2) then CLEAR while Last

Memory is displayed on-screen.

1 Press CD MODE.

The CD Mode indicator lights.

• Bookmarking also works with Video CD, but for one

disc only, and you must leave the disc in the player—

opening the disc tray erases the memory. Last Memory

may not work reliably with some PBC Video CDs.

• To switch off, press ^{CD MODE}again.

10 Advanced Sound Setup

Dynamic Range Control

Advanced sound settings

This chapter covers advanced settings to further

optimize the sound of your system.

The dynamic range of a source is the difference between

the quietest and the loudest sounds. The dynamic range

of Dolby Digital soundtracks can be very great. This

makes them exciting, but it also means that when you

turn the volume down you can easily lose quiet dialog.

Switch on Dynamic Range Control to even out the

soundtrack volume.

LFE attenuator

The LFE (low frequency effects) channel carries ultra

low bass sound to add weight to effects in Dolby Digital

and DTS soundtracks. This channel can overload the

subwoofer resulting in distortion. Use the LFE attenua-

tor setting to reduce the signal fed to the subwoofer.

• You can’t change this setting if the Record mode is

on (see page 25).

1 Press SYSTEM SETUP.

The LFE attenuator only works with sources that

contain an LFE channel. It is not a general level control

for the sub-woofer.

2 Press the 2 or 3 button until you see

D.R.C. in the display.

3 Use the 5 and ∞ buttons to select a

dynamic range setting.

• You can’t change this setting if the Record mode is

on (see page 25).

• ^D.R.C. OFF – default setting (no change to the

dynamics)

1 Press SYSTEM SETUP.

• ^D.R.C. LOW – the dynamic range is reduced by a

small amount.

2 Press the 2 or 3 button until you see LFE

in the display.

• ^D.R.C. MID – mid setting

3 Use the 5 and ∞ buttons to set the

amount of signal reduction.

There are three settings:

• ^D.R.C. HIGH – the dynamic range is reduced by a

large amount (good for listening at very low volume).

4 Press ENTER.

• ^{LFE ATT 0}– default setting (no signal reduction)

• ^{LFE ATT 10}– the LFE channel signal level is

reduced to avoid distortion

• ^{LFE OFF}– the LFE channel is switched off

completely. This may be useful late at night, for

example.

4 Press ENTER.

Advanced Sound Setup

Dual-mono setting

Adjusting channel volume levels

Depending on your room and where you’re sitting, you

may want to adjust the relative volumes of one or more

speakers for a more balanced sound. You can do this in

any mode, including the surround, DSP, and stereo

modes. Settings that you make in any sound mode are

completely independent and don’t affect any other

mode.

The dual-mono setting applies only to Dolby Digital

discs that feature dual-mono material—see the disc

box for details.

Dual-mono discs are recorded with two independent

channels that may be played together or separately

depending on the situation. For example, a guitar

tuition disc might have the guitar recorded on one

channel and all the other instruments on the other. Use

the dual-mono setting to play just the guitar part on its

own; just the backing, or everything together (through

separate speakers, or mixed).

• Each DSP effect has its own set of channel level

settings.

• The channel levels you set for the Surround mode

apply to Standard and all Advanced Theater effects.

• You can’t change this setting if the Record mode is

on (see page 25).

• The headphone level is not affected by the channel

level settings.

1 Press SYSTEM SETUP.

2 Press the 2 or 3 button until you see

1 Press CH LEVEL.

CH or MIX in the display.

Adjustments to the channel volume levels will affect

only the current sound mode.

3 Use the 5 and ∞ buttons to select a dual-

mono setting.

2 Use the 2 and 3 buttons to select a

channel to adjust.

• L-CH1 R-CH2 – default setting (Ch1 is played

through the left speaker; Ch2 through the right)

The display shows the channel and its current setting.

• CH1 – Ch1 is played through the center speaker

(or through the left and right speakers if Surround

Off is selected); Ch2 is muted.

• Remember that not all channels are available in all

sound modes.

• CH2 – Ch2 is played through the center speaker

(or through the left and right speakers if Surround

Off is selected); Ch1 is muted.

3 Use the 5 and ∞ buttons to adjust the

volume of the current channel.

For best results, sit in your main listening position when

doing this. You can adjust each speaker in the range of

+/-10dB.

• MIX – Ch1 and Ch2 are mixed together and played

through the center speaker (or through both left and

right speakers if Surround Off is selected).

Additional Information

Storing discs

Taking care of your system

Although CDs and DVDs 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 (includ-

ing under direct sunlight).

To clean this unit, wipe with a soft, dry cloth. For

stubborn dirt, wet a soft cloth with a mild detergent

solution made by diluting one part detergent to 5 or 6

parts water, wring well, then wipe off the dirt. Use a dry

cloth to wipe the surface dry. Do not use volatile liquids

such as benzene and thinner which may damage the

surfaces.

Don’t glue paper or put stickers on discs, or write on

them using a pencil, ball-point pen or other sharp-

tipped writing instrument.

Disc lens cleaner

The disc pickup lens should not become dirty in normal

use, but if for some reason it should malfunction due to

dirt or dust, consult your nearest Pioneer authorized

service center. Although lens cleaners for CD players are

commercially available, we do not recommend using

them since some may damage the lens.

Discs to avoid

Discs spin at high speed during playback. If you can see

that a disc is cracked, chipped, warped, or otherwise

damaged, don’t risk using it—you could end up

damaging the system.

Taking care of your discs

When holding discs, 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. 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.

This system is designed for use with conventional, fully

circular discs only. Use of shaped discs is not recom-

mended. Pioneer disclaims all liability arising in

connection with the use of shaped CDs and DVDs.

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 on the next

page. If necessary, use a cloth soaked in alcohol, or a

commercially available CD or DVD cleaning kit to clean

a disc more thoroughly. Never use benzine, thinner or

other cleaning agents, including products designed for

cleaning vinyl records.

• Wipe lightly from the center of the disc using

straight strokes.

• Don’t wipe the disc surface using circular strokes.
