We Want You Listening For A Lifetime

Used wisely, your new sound equipment will

provide a lifetime of fun and enjoyment. Since

hearing damage from loud noise is often

undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer

and the Electronic Industries Association’s

Consumer Electronics Group recommend you avoid

prolonged exposure to excessive noise. This list of

sound levels is included for your protection.

Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit

you’ve just purchased is only the start of your

musical enjoyment. Now it’s time to consider how

you can maximize the fun and excitement your

equipment offers. This manufacturer and the

Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer

Electronics Group want you to get the most out of

your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that

lets the sound come through loud and clear without

annoying blaring or distortion-and, most importantly,

without affecting your sensitive hearing.

Decibel

Level Example

30 Quiet library, soft whispers

Living room, refrigerator, bedroom away from traffic

50 Light traffic, normal conversation, quiet office

60 Air conditioner at 20 feet, sewing machine

70 Vacuum cleaner, hair dryer, noisy restaurant

80 Average city traffic, garbage disposals, alarm clock

at two feet.

Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing

“comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of sound.

So what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and

harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by

setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your

hearing adapts.

THE FOLLOWING NOISES CAN BE DANGEROUS

UNDER CONSTANT EXPOSURE

90 Subway, motorcycle, truck traffic, lawn mower

100 Garbage truck, chain saw, pneumatic drill

120 Rock band concert in front of speakers,

thunderclap

To establish a safe level:

• Start your volume control at a low setting.

• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it

comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.

140 Gunshot blast, jet plane

180 Rocket launching pad

Once you have established a comfortable sound

level:

• Set the dial and leave it there.

Information courtesy of the Deafness Research Foundation.

Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent

hearing damage or loss in the future. After all, we

want you listening for a lifetime.

Video CD PBC menus

FAQ

Some Video CDs have menus from which you

can choose what you want to watch. These are

called PBC (Playback control) menus.

• After I load a DVD disc, it ejects

automatically after a few seconds!

Most likely, the disc is the wrong region for

your player. The region number should be

printed on the disc; check it against the

region number of the player (which you can

find on the rear panel). See also DVD-Video

regions on page 36.

You can play a PBC Video CD without having to

navigate the PBC menu by starting playback

using a number button to select a track, rather

than the ꢈ (play) button.

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

Taking care of your player and discs on

page 34.

ENTER

• Why won’t the disc I loaded play?

RETURN

First check that you loaded the disc the

right way up (label side up), and that it’s

clean and undamaged. See Taking care of

your player and discs on page 34 for

information on cleaning discs.

ꢄ

If a disc loaded correctly won’t play, it’s

time can be displayed on-screen while a disc is

playing.

Zooming the screen

Using the zoom feature you can magnify a part

of the screen by a factor of 2 or 4, while

watching a DVD or Video CD or playing a JPEG

disc.

To show/switch/hide the information

displayed, press DISPLAY repeatedly.

• When a disc is playing, the information

appears at the top of the screen.

During playback, use the ZOOM button

to select the zoom factor (Normal, 2x or

4x).

• Since DVD, Video CD and JPEG pictures

have a fixed resolution, picture quality will

deteriorate, especially at 4x zoom. This is

not a malfunction.

Use the cursor buttons to change the

zoomed area.

You can change the zoom factor and the

zoomed area freely during playback.

• If the navigation square at the top of the

screen disappears, press ZOOM again to

display it.

Note

• If you are displaying subtitles, these will

disappear when the screen is zoomed.

They will reappear when you return the

screen to normal.

Switching camera angles

Some DVD discs feature scenes shot from two

or more angles—check the disc box for details.

When a multi-angle scene is playing, a

icon appears on screen to let you know that

other angles are available (this can be

switched off if you prefer—see Display settings

on page 32).

During playback (or when paused),

press ANGLE to switch angle.

Additional information

This player is designed to be used only with

Taking care of your player and

discs

conventional, fully circular discs. Do not use

shaped discs. Pioneer disclaims all liability

arising in connection with the use of shaped

discs.

General

Hold discs by the edge or by the center hole

and edge.

Cleaning discs

Fingerprints and dist on discs can affect

playback performance. Clean using a soft, dry

cloth, wiping the disc lightly from the center to

the outside edge as shown below.

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).

Don't glue paper or put stickers on to discs. Do

not use a pencil, ball-point pen or other sharp-

tipped writing instrument to write on the disc.

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.

Don’t use self-adhesive disc labels on discs as

these can cause the disc to warp slightly

during playback causing distortion in the

picture and/or sound.

Damaged and shaped discs

Do not use cracked, chipped, warped, or

otherwise damaged discs as they may damage

the player.

Cleaning the unit’s exterior

Unplug the unit before cleaning.

Use a dry cloth to wipe off dust and dirt. If the

surfaces are very dirty, wipe with a soft cloth

dipped in some neutral cleanser diluted five or

six times with water and wrung out well, then

wipe again with a dry cloth.

Do not use use furniture wax or cleaners.

Never use thinners, benzine or insecticide

sprays or other chemicals on or near this unit.

Additional information

If you use a chemical-impregnated cleaning

cloth, read the instructions carefully before

use. These cloths may leave smear marks on

half-mirror finish surfaces; if this happens,

finish with a dry cloth.

Widescreen TV users

If you have a widescreen TV, the TV Screen

setting (page 31) of this player 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.

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. We

do not recommend using commercially

available lens cleaners for CD players.

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

‘letter box’ style with black bars at the top and

bottom of the screen.

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. Leave it to adjust to the warmer

temperature for about an hour before

switching on.

Standard TV users

If you have a standard TV, the TV Screen

setting (page 31) of this player should be set to

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

depending on which you prefer.

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

shown with black bars top and bottom.

Moving the player

If you need to move the player, first press

ꢂ STANDBY/ON on the front panel to turn the

player off. Wait for -OFF- 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.

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 aspect ratios, ranging from TV

programs, which are generally 4:3, to

CinemaScope widescreen movies, with an

aspect ratio of up to about 7:3.

Please note that many widescreen discs

override the player’s settings so that the disc is

shown in letter box format regardless of the

setting.

Televisions, too, come in different aspect

ratios; ‘standard’ 4:3 and widescreen 16:9.

Additional information

The diagram below shows the various DVD

regions of the world.

Note

• 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.
