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

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.

01
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
• This system cannot record CD-R or CD-
RW discs.
• Unfinalized CD-R/RW discs recorded as
CD Audio can be played, but the full Table
of Contents (playing time, etc.) will not be
displayed.
DVD-R/RW compatibility
• This unit will play DVD-R/RW discs

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.
Compressed audio compatibility
• This unit will play CD-ROM, CD-R, and
CD-RW discs containing files saved in the
MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3 (MP3) or Windows
Media Audio (WMA) format with a

32 kHz WMA files encoded at 20 kbps).
Incompatible files will not play and the
message Can’t play this format will be
displayed (No Play in the front panel
display).
• This player can recognize up to 999 files
(WMA/MP3/JPEG) 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 files on
the disc.
• Fixed bit-rate files are recommended.
Variable bit-rate (VBR) MP3 files are
playable, but playing time may not be
shown correctly.
• Folder and track names (excluding the file
extension) are displayed.
• This player is compatible with WMA data
encoded using Windows Media Player
version 8 (or less) or Windows Media
Player for Windows XP.
• There are many different recording bit-
rates available to encode MP3 files. This
unit was designed to be compatible with
all of them. Audio encoded at 128Kbps
should sound close to regular CD Audio
quality. This player will play lower bit-rate
files, but please note that the sound
quality becomes noticeably worse at
lower bit-rates.
• This player is not compatible with
lossless-encoding or variable bit-rate
(VBR) WMA files.
• WMA files encoded with DRM (Digital

the session must be closed) in order to
play in this unit. This player is not
compatible with multi-session discs. Only
the first session of a multi-session disc
will be recognized.

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

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.

sound. Surround sound is generated from
stereo sources using one of the Dolby Pro
Logic decoding modes.
Auto listening mode
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 in the source material.

Sport – Sport
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

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).

Press the TUNER button to select the
FM band.
RDS is only possible in the FM band.

type.
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.
• PTY SEARCH – see Searching for RDS
programs below
• Current tuner frequency
5
If you want to keep listening to the
station, press ENTER within the 5 seconds.
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
displayed.

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.
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
WMA files are referred to as tracks. Folders
may contain further folders.

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.

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 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.
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.
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.
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.

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
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 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.

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 (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
If you have a standard TV, the TV Screen
setting (page 62) of this system should be set
to 4:3 (Letter Box) or 4:3 (Pan&Scan),
depending on which you prefer.
1
Select ‘Other Language’.
Set to 4:3 (Letter Box), widescreen discs are
shown with black bars top and bottom.

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”.
