Introduction to home theater General disc compatibility  
You are probably used to using stereo  
equipment to listen to music, but may not be  
used to home theater systems that give you  
many more options (such as surround sound)  
when listening to soundtracks.  
This system was designed and engineered to  
be compatible with software bearing one or  
more of the following logos:  
Home theater refers to the use of multiple  
audio tracks to create a surround sound  
effect, making you feel like you're in the  
middle of the action or concert. The surround  
sound you get from a home theater system  
depends not only on the speakers you have  
set up in your room, but also on the source  
and the sound settings of the system.  
DVD-Video  
DVD-R  
DVD-RW  
Audio CD  
Video CD  
CD-R  
CD-RW  
DVD-Video has become the basic source  
material for home theater due to its size,  
quality, and ease of use. Depending on the  
DVD, you can have up to seven different audio  
tracks coming from one disc, all of them  
being sent to different speakers in your  
system. This is what creates a surround  
sound effect and gives you the feeling of  
‘being there’.  
Fujicolor CD  
• KODAK Picture CD  
is a trademark of Fuji Photo Film Co.  
Ltd.  
This player supports the IEC’s Super VCD  
standard. Compared to the Video CD stan-  
dard, Super VCD offers superior picture  
quality, and allows two stereo soundtracks to  
be recorded. Super VCD also supports the  
widescreen size.  
This system will automatically decode Dolby  
Digital, DTS, or Dolby Surround DVD-Video  
discs, according to your speaker setup. In  
most cases, you won’t have to make changes  
for realistic surround sound, but other  
possibilities (like listening to a CD with multi-  
channel surround sound) are explained in  
Home theater sound on page 31.

DVD-R/RW and CD-R/RW discs (Audio CDs  
and Video CD/Super VCDs) recorded using a  
DVD recorder, CD recorder or personal  
computer may not be playable on this system.  
This may be caused by a number of  
possibilities, including but not limited to: the  
type of disc used; the type of recording;  
damage, dirt or condensation on either the  
disc or the player’s pick-up lens. See below for  
notes about particular software and formats.  
PC-created disc compatibility  
• If you record a disc using a personal  
computer, even if it is recorded in a  
“compatible format” as listed above, there  
will be cases in which the disc may not be  
playable in this machine due to the  
setting of the application software used to  
create the disc. In these particular  
instances, check with the software  
publisher for more detailed information.  
• Check the DVD-R/RW or CD-R/RW  
software disc boxes for additional  
compatibility information.  
CD-R/RW compatibility  
• This system will play CD-R and CD-RW  
discs recorded in CD Audio or Video CD/  
Super VCD format, or as a CD-ROM  
containing MP3, WMA or JPEG files.  
However, any other content may cause  
the disc not to play, or create noise/  
distortion in the output.  
About WMA

kind of TV you have.  
Before using your system to enjoy surround  
sound playback, we recommend you spend a  
few minutes using the Room Setup. This is a  
quick and easy way to get good surround  
sound for your room.  
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.  
Depending on the distance of the surround  
speakers from your main listening position,  
choose between S (small), M (medium), or L  
(large) room, then depending on your seating  
position relative to the front and surround  
speakers, choose Fwd (forward), Mid, or  
Back.

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.  
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 then use the individual TV controls

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.  
• After I load a DVD disc, it ejects  
automatically after a few seconds!  
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 77.  
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 76.  
Sometimes DVD-Video menus are displayed  
automatically when you start playback; others  
only appear when you press DVD MENU or  
TOP MENU.

An introduction to RDS  
Educate – Educational material  
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.  
Drama – Radio plays or serials  
Culture – National or regional culture,  
theatre, etc.  
Science – Science and technology  
Varied – Usually talk-based material,  
such as quiz shows or interviews.  
Pop M – Pop music  
Rock M – Rock 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.  
Easy M – Easy listening music  
Light M – ‘Light’ classical music  
Classics – ‘Serious’ classical music  
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  
52  
En  
More tuner features: RDS  
07  
Folk M – Folk music  
• 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.  
Document – Documentaries  
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.  
Displaying RDS information  
Use the DISPLAY button to display the  
different types of RDS information available  
(RT, PS and PTY).

If you want to keep listening to the

If you don’t press ENTER, searching resumes.  
• 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

ultra-low bass tones. Set the LFE attenuator  
as needed to prevent the ultra-low bass from  
distorting the sound.  
DRC Off – No dynamic range adjustment  
(use when listening at higher volume)  
LFE ATT 0 – The LFE channel is played  
with no attenuation  
DRC Mid – Mid setting  
LFE ATT 10 – LFE channel is attenuated  
by 10dB  
DRC High – Dynamic range is reduced  
(loud sounds are reduced in volume while  
quieter sounds are increased)  
LFE OFF – LFE channel is not played  
• This setting works only with Dolby Digital  
and some DTS soundtracks. For other  
sources you can create a similar effect  
using the Midnight mode (see Using  
Quiet and Midnight listening modes on  
page 34).  
Dual mono setting  
Specifies how dual mono encoded Dolby  
Digital or DTS soundtracks should be played.  
You can also use this setting to switch the

About progressive scan video  
Compared to interlace video, progressive  
scan video effectively doubles the scanning  
rate of the picture, resulting in a very stable,  
flicker-free image. Progressive scan video is  
available only from the component video  
output.

Titles, chapters and tracks  
DVD discs are generally divided into one or  
more titles. Titles may be further subdivided  
into chapters.  
On some TVs, the picture may shrink verti-  
cally, leaving black bands at the top and  
bottom of the screen. This is not a malfunc-  
tion; it is caused by the NTSC to PAL conver-  
sion.

CDs and Video CDs 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  
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.  
CD-ROMs contain folders and files. MP3 and

DVD Video regions  
Wipe lightly from the center of the disc using  
straight strokes.  
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.  
Don’t wipe the disc surface using circular  
strokes.  
The diagram below shows the various DVD  
regions of the world.  
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.  
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).  
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.  
77  
En  
13  
Additional information  
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.  
Place on a solid, flat, level surface, such  
as a table, shelf or stereo rack.  
Don’t...  
Use in a place exposed to high  
temperatures or humidity, including near  
radiators and other heat-generating  
appliances.  
Place on a window sill or other place  
where the system will be exposed to direct  
sunlight.  
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.  
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.  
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 in your player—you could end up  
damaging the unit.  
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.  
Use on a thick rug or carpet, or cover with  
cloth—this may prevent proper cooling of  
the system.  
Place on an unstable surface, or one that  
is not large enough to support all four of  
the unit’s feet.  
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.  
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.  
Proper installation and  
maintenance of this system  
Hints on installation

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.  
Wireless speaker system AC adaptor  
and power cord caution  
• Do not leave the power cord near heating  
equipment. The coating of the cord may  
melt, which could lead to fire and/or  
electrocution.  
Moving the system unit  
• Make sure to grasp the body of the AC  
adaptor when removing it from the power  
outlet. If you pull the power cord, it may  
become damaged which could lead to fire  
and/or electrocution.  
If you need to move the main unit, first remove  
a disc if there’s one in the player, then press  
STANDBY/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 unit during  
playback—discs rotate at a high speed and  
may be damaged.  
• Do not attempt to plug in or remove the  
AC adaptor with wet hands. This may  
result in electrocution.  
• Insert the prongs of the AC adaptor all the  
way into the power outlet. If the  
connection is incomplete, heat may be  
generated which could lead to fire.  
Furthermore, contact with the connected  
prongs of the adaptor may result in  
electrocution.  
• Unplugging the unit before Good Bye  
disappears from the display may cause  
the system to return to the factory  
settings.  
• Do not insert the AC adaptor into a power  
outlet where the connection remains  
loose despite inserting the prongs all the  
way into the outlet. Heat may be  
generated which could lead to fire.  
Consult with the retailer or an electrician  
regarding replacement of the power  
outlet.  
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.  
• Even when not in use, the fan in the  
wireless speaker will continue to operate.  
Switching off the wireless speaker when  
not in use will increase product life.

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 (page 62) 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 (see Language  
settings on page 64) allow you to set your  
prefered language from any of the 136  
languages listed in the Language code list on  
page 85.  
Standard TV users

Dolby Pro Logic / Pro Logic II  
Glossary  
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.  
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.  
DRM  
Aspect ratio  
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 ).  
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).  
DTS  
Digital audio  
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.  
R
DTS stands for Digital Theater Systems. DTS  
is a surround system different from Dolby  
Digital that has become a popular surround  
sound format for movies.  
Dynamic range  
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, deliv-  
ering dramatic cinema-like effects.  
Dolby Digital  
1
Using a maximum of 5.1 channels of audio,  
this high quality surround system is used in  
many of the finer movie theaters around the  
world.  
EXIF (Exchangeable Image File)  
A file format developed by Fuji Photo Film for  
digital still cameras. Digital cameras from  
various manuafcturers use this compressed  
file format which carries date, time and  
thumbnail information, as well as the picture  
data.  
The on-screen display shows which channels  
are active, for example showing 3/2.1. The 3  
being the two front channels and the center  
channel; the 2 being the surround channels,  
and the .1 being the LFE channel.

File extension  
PBC (PlayBack Control) (Video CD/Super  
VCD only)  
A system of navigating a Video CD/Super VCD  
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.  
A tag added to the end of a filename to indi-  
cate the type of file. For example, “.mp3” indi-  
cates an MP3 file.  
Interlaced video  
A method of displaying a picture in which  
odd-numbered lines are updated in one pass,  
then even-numbered lines are updated in the  
next. See also Progressive scan video.  
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.  
ISO 9660 format  
International standard for the volume and file  
structure of CD-ROM discs.  
Progressive scan video  
JPEG  
Also called non-interlaced video, this method  
of displaying a picture updates all the lines in  
one pass, resulting in a more stable, flicker-  
free image than interlaced video (for a given  
scanning rate). See also Interlaced video.  
A file format used for still images, such as  
photographs and illustrations. JPEG files are  
identified by the file extension “.jpg” or “.JPG”.  
Most digital cameras use this format.  
MP3  
Regions (DVD-Video only)  
MP3 (MPEG1 audio layer 3) is a compressed  
audio file format. Files are recognized by their  
file extension “.mp3” or “.MP3”.  
These associate discs and players with partic-  
ular 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).  
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 (Pulse Code Modulation).  
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. Stan-  
dard CD audio has a sampling frequency of  
44.1kHz, which means 44,100 samples  
(measurements) per second. See also Digital  
audio.  
MPEG video  
The video format used for Video CDs and  
DVDs. Video CD uses the older MPEG-1 stan-  
dard, while DVD uses the newer and much  
better quality MPEG-2 standard.

WMA  
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”.
