Befor e you start 01 6 En Intr oduction to home theater Y ou are probably used to using stereo equipment to listen to music, but may not be used to home theater systems that give you many more options (such as surround sound) when listening to soundtracks. Home theater refers to the use of multiple audio channels to create a surround sound effect, making you feel like you're in the middle of the action or concert. The sur - round sound you get from a home theater system depends not only on the speakers you have set up in your room, but also on the source and the sound settings of the system. DVD- Video has become the basic source material for home theater due to its size, quality , and ease of use. Depending on the DVD, you can have up to seven different audio tracks coming from one disc, all of them being sent to different speakers in your system. This is what creates a surround sound effect and gives you the feeling of ‘being there’. This receiver will automatically decode Dolby Digital, DTS or Dolby Surround DVD- Video discs. In most cases, you won ’t have to make changes for realistic surround sound, but other possibilities (like listening to a CD with multi-channel surround sound) are explained in Playing sources, starting on page 43.

See also page 8. 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 page 59. • Why won ’t the disc I loaded play? F irst check that you loaded the disc the right way up (label side up), and that it’s clean and not damaged. See page 59 for information on cleaning discs. If a disc loaded correctly won ’t play , it’s probably an incompatible format or disc type, such as DVD-Audio or DVD -ROM. See page 6 for more on disc compatibil- ity . • I have a widescr een TV so why ar e ther e black bars at the top and bottom of the screen when I play some discs? Some movie formats are such that even when played on a widescreen TV , black bars are necessar y at the top and bottom of the screen . This is not a malfunction. • I have a standar d (4:3) TV and set the player to show widescreen DVDs in pan & scan format, so why do I still get black bars top and bottom with some discs? Some discs override the display preferences of the player , so even if you have 4:3 (Pan & Scan) selected, those discs will still be shown in letterbox format. This is not a malfunction.

Listening to the radio 05 37 En English An intr oduction to RDS European model only Radio Data System, or RDS as it’s usually known, is a system used by FM radio stations to provide listeners with various kinds of information—the name of the station and the kind of show they’re broadcasting, for example. This information shows up as text on the display , and you can switch between the kind of information shown. Although you don ’t get RDS information from all FM radio stations, you do with most. P robably the best feature of RDS is that you can search automatically by type of program. So, if you felt like listening to jazz, you could search for a station that’s broadcasting a show with the program type, JAZZ. There are around 30 such program types, including various genres of music, news, sport, talk shows, financial information, and so on . This system lets you display three different kinds of RDS information: Radio T ext, P rogram Ser vice Name, and P rogram T ype. Radio T ext ( RT ) is messages sent by the radio station. These can be anything the broad- caster chooses—a talk radio station might give out it telephone number as RT , for example. P rogram Ser vice Name ( PS) is the name of the radio station. P rogram T ype ( PTY) indicates the kind of program currently being broadcast. This unit can search for and display the following program types: NEWS News AFF AIRS Current affairs INFO General information SPORT Sports EDUCA TE Educational material DRAMA R adio drama CUL TURE Arts and culture SCIENCE Science and technology VARIED Usually talk-based material, such as quiz shows or inter views. POP M P op music ROCK M R ock music EASY M Easy listening music LIGHT M ‘Light’ classical music CLASSICS ‘Serious’ classical music OTHER M Other music not fitting any of the above categories WEA THER W eather reports FINANCE F inance and business CHILDREN Children’s entertainment SOCIAL Social affairs RELIGION Religious programming PHONE IN Phone-in talk shows TRA VEL T ravel LEISURE Leisure interests and hobbies JAZZ Jazz music COUNTR Y Country music NA TION M P opular music in a lan- guage other than English OLDIES P opular music from the ’50s FOLK M DOCUMENT Documentaries In addition, there is a program type, ALARM! , used for exceptional emergency announcements. Y ou can’t search for this, but the tuner will switch automatically to this RDS broadcast signal.

The display will automatically switch to the PS data display . If no PS data is transmitted from the station, the frequency will be displayed. • In the PTY display , there are cases where NO DA T A or NO TYPE is shown. If this happens, the PS display is shown after a few seconds. • This unit converts lower case characters transmitted by broadcast stations to upper case characters.

Auto The AUTO mode automatically decodes Dolby Digital, DTS or Dolby Surround sources. Y ou can identify Dolby Digital sof tware by the 1 or marks. Most Dolby Surround software is marked 3 , but unmarked software may also incorporate Dolby Surround. Surr ound modes The surround mode options (below) can add surround sound to regular stereo sources. Choose one of the following to add depth to a 2 channel source: Pro Logic This mode gives 4.1 channel surround sound. It is less sensitive to the quality of the source material, so may be useful when P ro Logic II Movie/ Music modes do not give good results. Pro Logic II Movie This mode gives 5.1 channel surround sound. It is suitable for movies, especially those recorded in Dolby Surround. The channel separation and movement of surround effects is comparable to Dolby Digital 5.1. Pro Logic II Music This mode gives 5.1 channel surround sound and is suitable for music. Compared to P ro Logic II Movie, the surround effect is more enveloping. Advanced Surr ound modes These are designed to be used with multi channel surround sound audio/visual sources (like DVDs and LDs). Most Advanced Surround modes are designed to be used with film soundtracks, but some modes are also suited for music sources. T r y different settings with various soundtracks to see which you like. Advanced Music Simulates the acoustic environment of a large concert hall and is suitable for music or musical sources marked 1 ( ) or R . Advanced Movie Simulates the relaxed environment of a movie theater , and is suitable for watching movies on sources marked 1 ( ) or R .

Y ou can also use with Dolby Digital sources for a wider stereo field than the Surround modes. TV Surround Y ou can use this mode to give surround sound to mono or stereo TV audio sources. V irtual Surround When you select this mode, you will hear a surround sound effect produced from the two front speakers only . When selected, you won ’t hear any sound from the other speakers in your system. 5-Channel Stereo This can be selected to give power ful multi- channel sound to a stereo source by giving equal power to all of the speakers in your setup. It is particularly well-suited to music sources with deep bass and a strong rhythmic feel. Phones Surround This is ver y similar to the Virtual Surround mode, and is available when you’re listening to the headphones to create an overall surround sound effect. Stereo When you select STEREO (available in both the Surround and Advanced surround modes), you will hear the source through just the front left and right speakers.

Additional information 11 59 En English Using discs with this unit Handling discs When holding discs of any type, take care not to leave fingerprints, dirt or scratches on the disc sur face. Hold the disc by its edge or by the center hole and edge. Damaged or dirty discs can affect playback per formance. T ake 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, dr y cloth, wiping the disc lightly from the center to the outside edge as shown in the diagram below . Wipe lightly from the center of the disc using straight strok es. Don ’t wipe the disc sur face using circular str ok es. If necessar y , 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. Storing discs Although CDs and DVD discs 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). Don't glue paper or put stickers onto the disc, or use a pencil, ball-point pen or other sharp- tipped writing instrument. These could all damage the disc. F or more detailed care information see the instructions that come with discs. Do not load more than one disc into the player at a time. Discs to avoid Discs spin at high speed inside the player . If you can see that a disc is cracked, chipped, warped, or other wise damaged, don't risk using it in your player—you could end up damaging the unit. This unit is designed for use with conventional, fully circular discs only . Use of shaped discs is not recommended for this product. P ioneer disclaims all liability arising in connection with the use of shaped discs.

Additional information 11 66 En Scr een sizes and disc formats DVD- Video discs come in several different screen aspects, ranging from TV programs, which are generally 4:3, to CinemaScope widescreen movies, with an aspect ratio of up to about 7:3. T elevisions also come in different aspect ratios; ‘standard’ 4:3 and widescreen 16:9. Widescr een TV users If you have a widescreen TV , the TV Screen setting (page 51) 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. Y our TV may offer various zoom and stretch options; see the instructions that came with your TV for details. 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 ‘letterbox’ style with black bars at the top and bottom of the screen . Standar d TV users If you have a standard TV , the TV Screen setting (page 52) 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. Set to 4:3 (Pan&Scan), widescreen discs are shown with the lef t and right sides cropped. Although the picture looks larger , you don ’t actually see the whole picture. Please note that many widescreen discs override the player ’s settings so that the disc is shown in letterbox format regardless of the setting. • 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.

Additional information 11 70 En Glossary Analog audio An electrical signal that directly represents sound. Compare this to digital audio which can be an electrical signal, but is an indirect representation of sound. See also Digital audio . Aspect ratio The width of a TV screen relative to its height. Conventional TVs are 4:3 (in other words, the screen is almost square); widescreen models are 16:9 (the screen is almost twice as wide as it is high). Digital audio An indirect representation of sound by numbers. During recording, the sound is measured at discrete inter vals (44,100 times a second for CD audio) by an analog-to- digital converter , generating a stream of numbers. On playback, a digital-to-analog converter generates an analog signal based on these numbers. See also Sampling fr equency and Analog audio . Dolby Digital 1 Using a maximum of 5.1 channels of audio, this high quality surround system is used in many of the finer movie theaters around the world. 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. Dynamic range The difference between the quietest and loudest sounds possible in an audio signal (without distorting or getting lost in noise). Dolby Digital and DTS soundtracks are capable of a ver y wide dynamic range, delivering dramatic cinema-like effects. File extension A tag added to the end of a filename to indicate the type of file. F or example, “.mp3” indicates an MP3 file. MP3 MP3 (MPEG1 audio layer 3) is a compressed audio file format. Files are recognized by their file extension “.mp3” or “.MP3”. MPEG audio An audio format used on Video CDs and some DVD discs. This unit can convert MPEG audio to PCM format for wider compatibility with digital recorders and A V amplifiers. See also PCM. MPEG video The video format used for V ideo CDs and DVDs. Video CD uses the older MPEG-1 standard, while DVD uses the newer and much better quality MPEG-2 standard. PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) The most common system of encoding digital audio, found on CDs and DA T . Excellent quality , but requires a lot of data compared to formats such as Dolby Digital and MPEG audio. S ee also Digital audio. PBC (PlayBack Control) (Video CD only) A system of navigating a Video CD through on-screen menus recorded onto the disc. Especially good for discs that you would normally not watch from beginning to end all at once—karaoke discs, for example.

Regions (DVD-Video only) These associate discs and players with particular areas of the world. This unit will only play discs that have compatible region codes. Y ou can find the region code of your unit by looking on the rear panel. Some discs are compatible with more than one region (or all regions). Sampling fr equency The rate at which sound is measured to be turned into digital audio data. The higher the rate, the better the sound quality , but the more digital information is generated. Standard CD audio has a sampling fre- quency of 44.1kHz, which means 44,100 samples (measurements) per second. See also Digital audio .
