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 manu-

facturer 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.

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.

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.

Once you have established a comfortable sound level:

÷

Set the dial and leave it there.

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.

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 undetect-

able until it is too late, this manufacturer and the Electronic Industries

Association’s Consumer Electronics Group recommend you avoid pro-

longed exposure to excessive noise. This list of sound levels is included for

your protection.

Information courtesy of the Deafness Research Foundation.

90 Subway, motorcycle, truck traffic, lawn mower

100 Garbage truck, chain saw, pneumatic drill

120 Rock band concert in front of speakers, thunderclap

140 Gunshot blast, jet plane

180 Rocket launching pad

THE FOLLOWING NOISES CAN BE DANGEROUS UNDER

CONSTANT EXPOSURE

30 Quiet library, soft whispers

40 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

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 electric shock. Do not place the 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.

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.

Finding a suitable location

We want you to enjoy using your new stereo system for years to come, so please bear in

mind the following points when choosing a suitable location for the system

components and speakers:

Do...

✔ Use in a well-ventilated room.

✔ Place on a solid, flat, level surface, such as a table, shelf or stereo rack.

✔ Leave at least 10cm(3-15/16 inch) either side of the unit, 15cm(5-7/8 inch)

at the back, and 25cm(9-13/16 inch) overhead for proper ventilation.

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 any of the components or

speakers will be exposed to direct sunlight.

✗ Use in an excessively dusty or damp environment.

✗ Place directly on top of any appliance which becomes hot in use.

✗ 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 unit may be exposed to smoke or

steam.

✗ Place on an unstable surface, or one that is not large enough to support all

four of the unit’s feet, or the whole footprint of each speaker.

✗ Block the cooling fan on the rear of the unit. Don’t cover the unit with cloth,

or use on thick carpet, etc.

✗ Put obejects on top of the speakers.

Avoiding condensation problems

Condensation may form inside the unit 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 unit, 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.

En

1 Before You Start

Using cassette tapes

The tape of a cassette is quite easily damaged and loose tape can

jam in the tape deck mechanism. If the tape has become

unwound, use a pen or pencil

to wind it back on to the spool.

When not using cassettes,

always store in the case. Store

cassettes away from magnetic

fields, excessive heat, humidity,

dust or oil.

Before recording on a tape,

wind the tape on past the leader tape (about the first 3 or 4

seconds of each side).

Avoid using tapes longer than 90 minutes:

Since tapes longer than 90 minutes are so thin,

they are more susceptible to jamming in the tape

deck mechanism and other trouble such as

irregular winding.

Erase protection

You can protect an important recording against accidental

erasure by breaking the erase-protect tab(s) with a small

screwdriver.

If you want to re-record on an erase-protected cassette, cover the

space left by the broken tab with self-adhesive tape.

Note: If you're using Type II (High/C

rO

2

) tapes, make sure

you don't also cover the tape-type detection holes.

This unit is designed for use with conventional, fully circular

DVD, Video CD and audio CDs only. Use of shaped discs is not

recommended for this product. Pioneer disclaims all liability

arising in connection with the use of shaped discs.

Wipe lightly from the

center of the disc using

straight strokes

Don’t wipe the disc

surface using circular

strokes

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. 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.

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. If necessary,

use a cloth soaked in alcohol, or a commercially available CD

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, Video 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 (including under direct sunlight).

Discs to avoid

Discs spin at high speed inside the player 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

unit.

Connecting the Speakers

Important: Before making or changing any rear panel connections, make sure

that all the components are switched off and unplugged from the power supply.

To get the best sound from the system, it’s important that you connect the two strands

of speaker wire for each speaker to the correct speaker terminal. To help you match up

the wires and terminals correctly, the supplied speaker cord is color coded: connect the

black half of the cord to the black (–) terminals, and the red half to the red (+)

terminals.

Twist the exposed wire

strands together.

Pull open the tab and

insert the twisted wire fully

into the terminal.

Snap the tab shut again to

secure the speaker cord.

Note: Make sure that the bare speaker wires cannot touch each other, or come

into contact with other metal parts once the unit is switched on.

Ideally, speakers should be at about ear-level when you’re listening to them. Putting

the speakers on the floor, or mounting them very high on a wall is not recommended.

For the best stereo effect, place the front speakers 2–3 meters(78-3/4~118-1/8inch)

apart, and choose as your listening position a point within the shaded triangle in the

diagram above.

The front 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.

CAUTION!

Do not connect the

supplied speakers to any

other amplifier. This may

result in malfunction or fire.

If you wish to connect

speakers other than the

ones supplied to this

system, use only speakers

with a nominal impedance

of between 6Ω and 16Ω.

Refer to the instructions

that came with your

speakers if you are unsure

of their impedance before

connecting them and

switching on.

Connecting to Your TV

This system has two video outputs: one standard VIDEO OUT and one S-VIDEO. If

your TV has an S-Video input, we recommend using an S-Video cord (not supplied,

but available from any video equipment retailer) to connect this unit to the TV. This

should give you a better picture than using the standard-type video cord.

If your TV has only a standard video input, use the supplied video cord to connect this

unit to the TV.

Setting the TV format

Set the TV SYSTEM switch to match the TV system in your country or region. If you

have a multi-system TV that can display both PAL and NTSC signals, set this switch to

AUTO. This will allow you to watch both PAL and NTSC Video CDs and DVD discs.

This system can convert NTSC to PAL, so if you’ve set the

TV SYSTEM switch to PAL,

you’ll be able to watch any PAL or NTSC disc.

This system will also convert PAL to NTSC, but only for Video CDs. If you’ve set the

TV SYSTEM switch to NTSC, you’ll be able to watch any PAL or NTSC Video CD, but

only NTSC DVD discs.

Connecting the Radio Antennas

Connecting the supplied antennas will allow you to listen to both AM and FM radio

broadcasts. If you find that reception quality is poor, an outdoor antenna should give

you better sound quality—see the Connecting external antennas box below for

more on how to do this.

Before making or changing antenna connections, make sure that the power is

switched off and the unit disconnected from the wall power outlet.

1 Pull off the protective shields of both AM antenna wires.

2 Pull open both tabs and insert one wire fully into each terminal.

3 Snap the tabs shut to secure the AM antenna wires.

Place the AM antenna on a flat surface and point in the direction giving the best

reception. If necessary, stabilize with a pen or pencil through the hole near the base.

Avoid placing near computers, television sets or other electrical appliances and do not

let it come into contact with metal objects.

It’s also possible to fix the AM

antenna to a wall using two small

screws or pins through the two holes

at the top of the loop. Before fixing,

make sure that the reception is

satisfactory.

Connect the FM wire antenna 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 it coiled up.

The supplied FM antenna is a

simple means of receiving FM

stations; using a dedicated, outdoor

FM antenna will usually give you

better reception and sound quality.

See Connecting external antennas above for connection details.

Note: The signal earth (H) is designed to reduce noise that occurs when an

Connecting Auxiliary Components

This system has a complete set of stereo analog inputs and outputs, as well as an optical

digital output. Use these to connect an external component, such as an MD, CD-R or

DAT recorder. Connect the analog inputs and outputs using standard stereo cords; use

an optical digital cord when connecting up components using optical digital jacks.

(Note: connecting cords are not supplied, but should be available from any audio

retailer.)

Connecting all three sets of plugs allows for the greatest flexibility when recording. For

CDs you’ll be able to make digital copies over the optical digital link. For digital copy-

protected material (such as most CD-R and DVD discs), you’ll still be able to record

via the analog

REC OUT plugs.

After making sure that everything is connected properly, plug in the power cord to the

AC INLET, and the other end to a mains power outlet.

Congratulations! You’re done setting up.

Connecting the Power

Connecting an external AV amplifier

Another use for the optical digital output is to connect this system to an external AV

amplifier with built-in Dolby Digital, DTS and/or MPEG decoder. This will allow you to

enjoy true multi-channel surround sound with many DVD discs. Use a standard digital

optical cord (available from any good audio retailer) to connect the optical digital out

of this system to a suitable optical digital input on your AV amplifier—check the

manual supplied with the amplifier if you’re not sure which input to use.

Note: Although you can play any DVD disc that has a Dolby Digital or MPEG

soundtrack using just this unit, you will hear only a stereo downmix of the full

surround soundtrack. For full Dolby Digital/MPEG surround sound, connect this unit

to a Dolby Digital/MPEG compatible AV amplifier.

DVD discs with DTS soundtracks are only playable on this unit when connected to a

DTS compatible AV amplifier.

Switching On and Setting the Clock

If you’ve followed the instructions to here, you should now have your system installed

with everything connected up and plugged in. After switching on, the first thing to do

is to set the clock. This only needs to be done once (unless all power to the unit is cut)

and will enable you to use the timer features.

1 Press STANDBY/ON to switch on.

Pressing again switches the unit back into standby mode.

Note: the system uses less than 1W of power in standby mode.

2 Press TIMER/CLOCK ADJ.

3 Turn the S.M.JOG until CLK ADJ (clock adjust)

appears in the display.

If this is the first time you’ve switched on the unit, CLK ADJ should already

be displayed.

4 Press SET.

5 Use the S.M.JOG to set the hour.

The time is in 24-hour clock format (i.e., 13:00 is 1pm).

previous state after about five seconds.

Tip

There are a number of buttons

other than STANDBY/ON which will

switch the unit on. Pressing any of

the function buttons when the unit

is in standby mode will turn the unit

on and switch to that function.

English

This system will play DVD, Video CD and audio CD discs. Look

for one of the logos shown below on the disc box or on the disc

itself to check that it’s compatible.

Other disc formats, including DVD-RAM, DVD-ROM, CD-RW,

CDV and CD-ROM, are not playable on this system.

Most of the information on these pages relates to DVD and

Video CD. If you’re new to either of these formats we strongly

recommend reading this section before proceeding since it

introduces terms and concepts used throughout the manual.

Surround sound modes

Many DVD discs are recorded with mutichannel surround

sound. There are two formats, Dolby Digital and DTS—this

system is compatible with both. Look for the logos shown below

on the disc box or the disc itself to check whether that disc

features surround sound.

This system plays all sound through the front speakers.

However, using Dolby Virtual you can get the impression of

surround sound—see page 27 for more on using Dolby Virtual.

For true surround sound, connect to a Dolby Digital/DTS

compatible AV amplifier (see page 12) with surround speakers.

TV screen formats

At present there are two television screen formats in use:

conventional and widescreen. They are often known by their

aspect ratio (the width of the screen relative to the height). A

conventional screen is 4:3 (i.e., almost a square), a widescreen

is 16:9 (i.e., nearly twice as wide as it is high). Movies on DVD

are often recorded in widescreen format (since that's how

they're presented in movie theaters). If you watch these discs on

a 4:3 set, you have two options: you can either watch in

1

Dolby Digital logo

DTS logo

A Disc Primer

letterbox format—in which case you'll see black bars at the

top and bottom of the screen—or you can switch to pan & scan

format. Pan & scan chops the sides off the picture to make it fit

onto a 4:3 screen. Even though the picture looks larger on the

screen (because it uses the whole height of the screen), you're

actually seeing less of the movie (because the sides are lost).

Titles, chapters and tracks

Ordinary music CDs and Video CDs are divided into tracks to

make finding a particular piece on the disc easier. The same

things on DVDs are called chapters (as in chapters of a book).

Because of the huge capacity available, DVD discs collect

together groups of chapters into titles (again, as in book titles).

Multilingual discs

As well as audio and video, DVD discs can carry subtitles. Unlike

a video tape, where the subtitles are simply recorded on top of

the picture, DVD subtitles are separate from the main video, so

you can switch them on or off as you like. Not only that, but

some discs will let you choose between several different subtitle

languages—it just depends what the disc maker has included

on the disc.

DVD is not limited to a single audio language either. So, a French-

language film could include the original dialog in French, a

local language (say, Mandarin), and an English soundtrack.

You can mix and match these audio and subtitle languages at

will, selecting the original soundtrack with local language

subtitles, or a dubbed version with no subtitles. Exactly what's

available depends entirely on the disc, though.

Menu language

Finding your way around the contents of a DVD disc is aided by

the use of on-screen displays, which appear on your TV. Some

discs have their own specific menus, while others rely on

standard menus in the player (some discs use a combination of

the two). The player lets you choose between several different

menu languages, but this only applies to the player menus—

disc dependent menus may only be available in one language.

Example region code

DVD Regions

All DVD discs sold contain one or more region codes. Your DVD

player also has a region code which corresponds to the country/

region in which you bought it. You can find the region code of

your player by looking on the rear panel—you should see a

symbol that looks something like this:

You’ll find a similar mark on all DVD disc boxes, indicating

which regions it is compatible with. This unit will only play

discs with compatible region codes.

DVD video copy protection

Some DVD discs contain a video copy protection signal that

prevents high quality copying to video tape. If the video signal

from this system is fed to your TV via a VCR, you may notice

some picture disturbance with some discs. Connect directly to

your TV to avoid this.

Video CD PBC mode

Some Video CDs contain menus from which you can navigate

the contents of the disc. When you load these discs into the

player they start playing under what’s called playback control

(PBC). Usually, the first thing you’ll see is a menu from which

you can select a part of the disc to watch. Under PBC, features

such as repeat, program and random play are not available.

Disc and player restrictions

The DVD format gives disc makers a lot of flexibility and

control over how material on a disc is presented. If you try and

do something that the disc currently playing does not permit,

the following symbol appears on-screen:

If you attempt an operation that the player cannot carry out

with the currently loaded disc, this symbol appears:
