Each press changes the display as follows:  
broadcasting, for example.  
• Radio Text (RT) – Messages sent by the  
radio station. For example, a talk radio  
station may provide a phone number as RT.  
One feature of RDS is that you can search by  
type of program. For example, you can search  
for a station that’s broadcasting a show with  
the program type, JAZZ.  
• Program Service Name (PS) – The name of  
the radio station.

• Program Type (PTY) – This indicates the  
kind of program currently being broadcast.  
You can search the following program types:  
NEWS – News

Note  
1 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.  
2 • If any noise is picked up while displaying the RT scroll, some characters may be displayed incorrectly.  
• If you see NO RADIO TEXT DATA in the RT display, it means no RT data is sent from the broadcast station. The display will  
automatically switch to the PS data display (if no PS data, the frequency is displayed).  
• In the PTY display, NO DATA or NONE may be shown. In this case, the PS display is shown after a few seconds.

1 • When the line out mode is on, most sound features cannot be used. The display will briefly blink LINE ON if you try and use a  
prohibited function while the line out mode is on.  
• The line out mode switches off if you change the input function (DVD/CD, TUNER, etc.) or switch the power off.  
• This option is not effective when listening a source from LINE2.  
2 • An HDMI connection can only be made with DVI-equipped components compatible with both DVI and High Bandwidth  
Digital Content Protection (HDCP). If you choose to connect to a DVI connector, you will need a separate adaptor (DVIHDMI)  
to do so. A DVI connection, however, does not support audio signals. Consult your local audio dealer for more information.  
• Depending on the component you have connected, using a DVI connection may result in unreliable signal transfers.  
• When you change the component connected to the HDMI output, you will also need to change the HDMI settings to match  
the new component (see Video Output settings on page 27 to do this).

About HDMI  
HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface)  
supports both video and audio on a single  
digital connection for use with DVD players,  
DTV, set-top boxes, and other AV devices.  
HDMI was developed to provide the  
technologies of High Bandwidth Digital  
Content Protection (HDCP) as well as Digital  
Visual Interface (DVI) in one specification.  
HDCP is used to protect digital content  
transmitted and received by DVI-compliant  
displays.  
You can also adjust the HDMI settings for  
resolution and color. For more on these  
settings see Video Output settings on page 27.  
Switching the HDMI audio setting  
To listen to audio from the HDMI interconnect,  
make sure you’ve specified the HDMI audio  
output setting.  
HDMI has the capability to support standard,  
enhanced, or high-definition video plus  
standard to multichannel surround-sound  
audio. HDMI features include uncompressed  
digital video, a bandwidth of up to 2.2 gigabytes  
per second (with HDTV signals), one connector  
(instead of several cables and connectors), and  
communication between the AV source and  
AV devices such as DTVs.

About control out connections  
Many Pioneer components support SR  
CONTROL connections, by which you can use  
the remote controls of any connected  
components by aiming them at the sensor of  
just one component. When you use a remote  
control, the control signal is passed along the  
chain to the appropriate component. This can  
be useful when you have multiple components  
contained inside an entertainment center.  
If you use this feature, you must make sure that  
also have at least one set of analog audio jacks  
connected to another component for  
grounding purposes.  
Using a cable with mono mini-plugs on  
either side (sold separately), connect the  
CONTROL IN jack on another Pioneer  
component to the CONTROL OUT jack on this  
unit.  
This will allow you to control the other  
component by pointing its remote at this unit.

Never lift or move the unit during playback —  
discs rotate at high speeds and may damage.  
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.  
Use near a television or monitor as you may  
experience interference — especially if the  
television uses an indoor antenna.  
Screen sizes and disc formats  
DVD-Video discs come in different screen  
aspects, ranging from TV programs, which are  
generally 4:3, to CinemaScope widescreen  
2
movies , with an aspect ratio of up to about 7:3.  
Use in a kitchen or other room where the system  
may be exposed to smoke or steam.  
Note  
1 Unplugging the unit before GOOD BYE disappears from the display may cause the system to return to the factory settings.

Note  
1 • Using the 16:9 (Wide) setting with a standard 4:3 TV, or one of the 4:3 settings with a widescreen TV, will result in distortion.  
• 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.  
• Some movie aspect ratios are wider than 16:9, so even with a widescreen TV, these discs will still play in a ‘letterbox’ style.  
2 Most models of the newly developed countdown 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. On some TVs, the picture may shrink vertically, leaving black bands  
at the top and bottom of the screen.
