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.
6
En
Before You Start
1
✗ 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 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.
DVD Video compatibility:
• Single-sided or double-sided discs
• Single layer or dual layer discs
• Dolby Digital, DTS, MPEG or Linear PCM digital
audio
• MPEG-2 digital video
DVD discs are generally divided into one or more titles.
Titles may be further subdivided into chapters.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Radio Data System, or RDS as it’s usually known, is a
system used by FM radio stations to provide listeners
with various information—the name of the station and
what kind of show they’re broadcasting, for example.
RDS allows you to search through stations automati-
cally using this information. It shows up as text on the
display, and you can switch between the type of
information shown. Although you don’t get RDS
information from all FM radio stations, you do with

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.

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).

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.
