6 How to Proceed in This Manual DVD is an incredible format that presents the highest quality digital audio and video available today . Because using the DVD player and DVDs may be confusing at first, following the order below should help you get through the important stages of getting set up so you can start using your player as soon as possible. Get familiar with the player. Refer to the section “Before Using” on page 8 to confirm that all the accessories were included with the player . If you are new to DVD, it might be beneficial for you to go through the “Names and Functions” section starting on page 9 to get familiar with the parts and buttons on the main unit and remote control as they will be referred to throughout this manual. There is also a list of terms that can be found on page 60 if you are having trouble understanding some of the terminology associated with DVD. Make the necessary connections. No entertainment system seems to be set up exactly the same way . The “Making Connections” section starting on page 15 shows how video and audio connections may be made to suit your home entertainment system. Set up the player. Before you can begin to enjoy the benefits of the DVD format, it is first necessary to set up the player to output the video and audio information that corresponds to your system. The section “Setting Up the Player” starting on page 20 explains how to use the Setup Navigator , a function that automatically sets up the player corresponding to the answers given in a multiple-choice on-screen procedure.

Once you are comfortable using the basic player functions, you are ready to take advantage of the various options DVD and this player have to offer . The section “Advanced Functions” starting on page 40 describes how to use the features available on many DVDs. Differences in Disc Composition DVD DVDs are divided into units referred to as titles, and titles are divided into chapters. A DVD which contains a movie may have only one title with many or no chapter divisions. Karaoke DVDs may have many titles, assigning a title to each song on the DVD. Menu screens do not belong to any title. DVD player functions generally apply to titles on a DVD or chapters within a selected title. The player functions available may also vary from title to title, depending on the DVD. When DVDs have a unique title division, it should be noted that search and program functions may be affected. Video CD/CD Video CDs and CDs are divided into units referred to as tracks (Video CD tracks may also be referred to as scenes). One song generally corresponds to one track. Some tracks are further divided into units referred to as indexes. Video CDs with PBC (Playback Control) also contain menus recorded on the disc which enable easy access to the contents of the disc. When played back on a DVD player , both Video CDs and CDs are considered to be a single title, regardless of the number of tracks.

60 T erms Aspect ratio Aspect ratio refers to the length to height ratio of TV screens. The ratio of a standard TV is 4:3, while the ratio of a high-definition or wide TV is 16:9. The latter allows you to enjoy a picture with a wider perspective. Chapter number Chapter numbers are the numbers assigned to sections of a title on the disc, similar to chapters in a book. If the disc includes chapter numbers, you can locate the section you want very quickly using search and other functions. Component (color difference) video output The color signal of the TV is divided into the luminance (Y) signal and the color (P B and P R ) signals and then output. In this way mutual interference of each signal is avoided. On a TV with component input jacks, these signals are synthesized to produce the picture. Condition memory “Condition” refers to the various mode settings, etc. On this player , various conditions, such as those set during playback, can be memorized. This function allows you to play back the same disc at any time without having to redo your preferred settings. Digital bitstream The bitstream does not refer to the audio signal, but rather to the digital data that, once converted, becomes the audio signal. The player outputs digital bitstreams via the digital optical or digital coaxial output. If the bitstream cannot be decoded by the connected A V amplifier etc., digital noise is produced. Digital bitstream formats compatible with different entertainment systems can be selected in the Setup screen Audio 1 menu. Digital output (Coaxial) Output of the digital audio signal is transmitted electronically using a coaxial cable. Because the signal being transmitted is digital, connection must be made to the coaxial digital input of another component. Noise will be output if connected to the analog audio inputs as the digital signal cannot be decoded. Digital output (Optical) Normally , audio is converted to an electric signal and transmitted through an electric wire from the player to the amplifier , etc. Changing this signal to a digital signal and transmitting it through an fiber -optic cable is called optical digital output. Similarly , optical digital input receives digital signals from external units such as an A V amplifier or receiver . Dolby Digital The maximum 5.1 channels of audio used in the surround system (Surround Digital) for movie theaters is digital data compressed by the third generation algorithm encoder , AC-3. DTS DTS stands for Digital Theater System. DTS is a surround system different from Dolby Digital that has become a popular surround sound format for movies. In order to enjoy the benefits of DTS encoded discs, the digital output jack (either coaxial or optical) of this player needs to be connected to an A V amplifier or receiver with DTS decoding capability or to a DTS decoder . DTS audio is not output from the analog audio outputs. Dynamic range Dynamic range refers to the difference between the maximum and minimum levels of the audio soundtrack as measured in decibels (dB). Compressing the dynamic range raises the minimum signal level and lowers the maximum signal level. This allows you to hear voices and other low level audio signals clearly while lowering strong audio signals like the sound of explosions. MPEG Short for Moving Picture Experts Group. This is an international standard for compression of moving images. On some DVDs, digital audio has been compressed and recorded in this format. Multi-angle When you watch a TV program, you are watching the image filmed through the TV camera. Because of this, the picture is displayed on your TV from the viewpoint of the TV camera’ s position. In a TV studio, the image is filmed by many cameras at the same time, and one of those images is selected by the program director and transmitted to your TV . If all the filmed images were transmitted to your TV you would be able to select the camera image you want. Some DVD discs are recorded with the angles of more than one camera used for filming, and these can be selected using this player . These types of discs are called multi-angle discs. 1
61 ADDITIONAL INFORMA TION Parental lock level This function was suggested by parents concerned about what type of media their children were able to watch. Parental lock restrictions are restrictions incorporated into titles which include scenes that parents may not wish their children to view . PCM PCM stands for Pulse Code Modulation and is digital audio. The digital audio of CDs is PCM. This player also has a function that converts Dolby Digital and MPEG digital bitstreams into PCM to enable you to listen to quality digital sound even without a special decoder . Playback Control (PBC) This refers to signals recorded on a Video CD (V ersion 2.0) enabling playback control. Y ou can use menus recorded on discs with PBC for easy , interactive search for desired scenes, and playback. Y ou can also enjoy viewing high-resolution/standard resolution still images. Regional restriction codes (region number) Regional restriction codes are built in to DVD players and DVD discs for each sales region. If the regional code of the DVD player does not match one of the regional codes of the DVD disc, playback is not possible. The region number can be found on the rear panel of the DVD player . The illustration below shows the regions and corresponding region numbers. Sampling Frequency When a sound wave is converted to a digital signal, the sound is sampled and converted to data at a specific frequency rate. For example, a signal with a 96 kHz sampling rate indicates that in one second, the analog signal was sampled 96000 times to produce the digital signal. Subtitle Subtitles are language titles superimposed on movies, or other media. Up to 32 different subtitle languages can be recorded on a DVD disc. The subtitle function can be used to select the language of your choice. S-video Connecting the S-video output on the player to a TV or monitor with S-video input via an S-video cable produces clearer picture reproduction by sending separate signals for the luminance and the color . These signals are then combined by the television to produce a better quality picture. System control When you connect this player via a cord with a mini plug to another Pioneer component such as a receiver or an amplifier bearing the Î mark, you can control the player as though it were a component in a system. T o control the player , point the player’ s remote control at the component that the player is connected to, and not the player itself. Time number The time number corresponds to the elapsed playback time of a disc from its beginning. When using the time search function, use the time number to locate scenes that occur at the time selected. Title number DVD discs are divided into units referred to as titles, and titles are divided into chapters. Menu screens do not belong to any title. A disc which contains a movie may have only one title with many or no chapter divisions. Karaoke discs may have many titles, assigning a title to each song on the disc.

Printed in Japan <VRB1234-A> <99G00ZF0D00> We Want You LISTENING For A Lifetime 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. 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. W e W ant Y ou 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. Decibel Level Example 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 at two feet. 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 140 Gunshot blast, jet plane 180 Rocket launching pad Information courtesy of the Deafness Research Foundation.
