power lines or circuits. When installing an

outside antenna system, extreme care should

be taken to keep from touching such power

lines or circuits as contact with them might be

fatal.

WALL OR CEILING MOUNTING — The product

should not be mounted to a wall or ceiling.

OVERLOADING — Do not overload wall outlets,

Before you start

• When naming MP3 and WMA files, add

the corresponding file name extension

(.mp3 or .wma). Files are played

according to the file extension. To prevent

noise and malfunctions, do not use these

extensions for other kinds of files.

JPEG file compatibility

• Baseline JPEG and EXIF 2.1* still image

files up to 8 mega-pixels are supported

(maximum vertical and horizontal

resolution is 5120 pixels). (*File format

used by digital still cameras)

• This system can recognize up to 999 files

(WMA/MP3) and up to 499 folders. If a

disc exceeds these limits, only files and

folders up to these limits will be playable.

Files and folders are read/displayed in

alphabetical order. Note that if the file

structure is very complex, you may not be

able to read/play all the files on the disc.

• The CD-ROM used to compile your JPEG

files must be ISO 9660 Level 1 or 2

compliant. CD physical format: Mode1,

Mode2 XA Form1. Romeo and Joliet file

systems are both compatible with this

system.

• This system can recognize up to 999 files

(JPEG) and up to 499 folders. If a disc

exceeds these limits, only files and folders

up to these limits will be playable. Files

alphabetical order. Note that if the file

structure is very complex, you may not be

able to read/play all the files on the disc.

• Folder and track names (excluding the file

extension) are displayed.

• There are many different recording bit-

rates available to encode MP3 files. This

system unit was designed to be

compatible with all of them. Audio

encoded at 128Kbps should sound close

to regular CD Audio quality. This system

will play lower bit-rate files, but please

note that the sound quality becomes

noticeably worse at lower bit-rates.

• Folder and file names (excluding the file

extension) are displayed.

• This system only displays files that are

named with the file extension .jpg or

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 system. Discs marked ALL will play in

any player.

Resetting the system

Use this procedure to reset all system

settings to the factory default.

Switch the system into standby.

Press and hold the front panel ꢈ(stop)

button for about 8 seconds until the

display shows ‘Mem.Clr.?’.

The diagram below shows the various DVD

regions of the world.

Press the from panel ꢉ button.

All the system’s settings are now reset, and

you should see the ‘Let’s Get Started’ screen.

Using and taking care of discs

Titles, chapters and tracks

DVD discs are generally divided into one or

more titles. Titles may be further subdivided

into chapters.

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.

Title 1

Title 2

Title 3

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.

Additional information

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.

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.

Discs to avoid

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—you could end up damaging the

player.

Wipe lightly from the center of the disc using

straight strokes.

Don’t wipe the disc surface using circular

strokes.

This system 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.

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.

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:

Do...

ꢄUse in a well-ventilated room.

ꢄPlace on a solid, flat, level surface, such

as a table, shelf or stereo rack.

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.

Don’t...

ꢅ Use in a place exposed to high

temperatures or humidity, including near

radiators and other heat-generating

appliances.

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

Additional information

ꢅ Place on a window sill or other place

where the system will be exposed to direct

sunlight.

Moving the system unit

If you need to move the main system unit, first

remove all discs, then press ꢃSTANDBY/ON

on the front panel to turn the system off. Wait

for Good Bye to disappear from the display,

then unplug the power cable. Never lift or

move the system unit during playback—discs

rotate at a high speed and may be damaged.

ꢅ Use in an excessively dusty or damp

environment.

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.

• Unplugging the system before Good Bye

disappears from the display may cause

the system to return to the factory

settings.

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 unit.

Power cable caution

Handle the power cable by the plug part. Do

not pull out the plug by tugging the cable, and

never touch the power cable when your hands

are wet, as this could cause a short circuit or

electric shock. Do not place the system unit,

a piece of furniture, or other object on the

power cable or pinch the cable in any other

way. Never make a knot in the cable or tie it

with other cables. The power cable should be

routed so that they are not likely to be stepped

on. A damaged power cable can cause a fire

or give you an electric shock. Check the power

cable once in a while. If you find it damaged,

ask your nearest Pioneer authorized service

center or your dealer for a replacement.

ꢅ Place on an unstable surface, or one that

is not large enough to support all four of

the system unit’s feet.

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.

Problems with condensation

Condensation may form inside the system

unit 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.

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.

Please note that many widescreen discs

override the system’s settings so that the disc

is shown in letterbox format regardless of the

setting.

Widescreen TV users

If you have a widescreen TV, the TV Screen

setting (page 66) 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.

• 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 (such as ‘DVD

Language’ in the Setup Navigator) allow you

to set your prefered language from any of the

136 languages listed in the Language code list

Standard TV users

If you have a standard TV, the TV Screen

setting (page 66) of this system should be set

to 4:3 (Letter Box) or 4:3 (Pan&Scan),

depending on which you prefer.

Select ‘Other Language’.

Set to 4:3 (Letter Box), widescreen discs are

shown with black bars top and bottom.

DRM

DRM (Digital Rights Management) is a type of

server software developed to enable secure

distribution of paid content over the Web,

recently incorporated by WMA (Windows

Media Audio).

Analog audio

An electrical signal that directly represents

sound. Compare this to digital audio which

can be an electrical signal, but is an indirect

representation of sound. See also Digital

audio.

DTS

Aspect ratio

DTS stands for Digital Theater System. DTS is

a surround system different from Dolby

Digital that has become a popular surround

sound format for movies.

The width of a TV screen relative to its height.

Conventional TVs are 4:3 (in other words, the

screen is almost square); widescreen models

are 16:9 (the screen is almost twice as wide as

it is high).

Dynamic range

Digital audio

The difference between the quietest and

loudest sounds possible in an audio signal

(without distorting or getting lost in noise).

Dolby Digital and DTS soundtracks are

capable of a very wide dynamic range,

delivering dramatic cinema-like effects.

An indirect representation of sound by

numbers. During recording, the sound is

measured at discrete intervals (44,100 times a

second for CD audio) by an analog-to-digital

converter, generating a stream of numbers.

On playback, a digital-to-analog converter

generates an analog signal based on these

numbers. See also Sampling frequency and

Analog audio.

EXIF (Exchangeable Image File)

A file format developed by Fuji Photo Film for

digital still cameras. Digital cameras from

various manufacturers use this compressed

file format which carries date, time and

thumbnail information, as well as the picture

data.

Dolby Digital / Pro Logic II

Dolby Digital uses up to 5.1 discrete channels

of audio for surround sound. The front, center

and surround channels are full range, while a

Low Frequency Effects channel delivers bass

sounds often used for sound effects (hence

5.1 channels).

File extension

A tag added to the end of a filename to

indicate the type of file. For example, “.mp3”

indicates an MP3 file.

ISO 9660

Dolby Pro Logic II is a matrix decoding system

that extracts 4.1 (Dolby Pro Logic) or 5.1

(Dolby Pro Logic II) channel surround sound

from a two channel source.

International standard for the volume and file

structure of CD-ROM discs.

photographs and illustrations. JPEG files are

identified by the file extension “.jpg” or “.JPG”.

Most digital cameras use this format.

These associate discs and players with

particular areas of the world. This system will

only play discs that have compatible region

codes. You can find the region code of your

system by looking on the rear panel. Some

discs are compatible with more than one

region (or all regions).

MP3

MP3 (MPEG1 audio layer 3) is a compressed

audio file format. Files are recognized by their

file extension “.mp3” or “.MP3”.

Sampling frequency

The rate at which sound is measured to be

turned into digital audio data. The higher the

rate, the better the sound quality, but the

more digital information is generated.

Standard CD audio has a sampling frequency

of 44.1kHz, which means 44,100 samples

(measurements) per second. See also Digital

audio.

MPEG audio

An audio format used on Video CDs and some

DVD discs. This system can convert MPEG

audio to PCM format for wider compatibility

with digital recorders and AV amplifiers. See

also PCM.

MPEG video

WMA

The video format used for Video CDs and

DVDs. Video CD uses the older MPEG-1

standard, while DVD uses the newer and

much better quality MPEG-2 standard.

WMA is short for Windows Media Audio and

refers to an audio compression technology

developed by Microsoft Corporation. WMA

data can be encoded by using Windows

Media Player version 8 or Windows Media

Player for Windows XP. Files are recognized

by their file extension “.wma” or “.WMA”.

PCM (Pulse Code Modulation)

The most common system of encoding digital

audio, found on CDs and DAT. Excellent

quality, but requires a lot of data compared to

formats such as Dolby Digital and MPEG

audio. See also Digital audio.

United States and/or other countries.

PBC (PlayBack Control) (Video CD only)

A system of navigating a Video CD through

on-screen menus recorded onto the disc.

Especially good for discs that you would

normally not watch from beginning to end all

at once—karaoke discs, for example.
