• A S S O C I A T I O N • E L E C T R O N I C I N D U S T R I E S EST 1924 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.

This may result in malfunction or fire. This DVD receiver has been designed for best perfor - mance when connected to the supplied speakers. W e do not, therefore, recommend that you connect and use other speakers with this system. Placing the speak er s 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. • 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. • For the best stereo effect, place the front speakers 2– 3m (6 –9ft.) 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 the TV screen so that movie dialog is localized properly . 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 . 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. The rear speakers and subwoofer are not magnetically shielded, so they should not be placed near a TV or monitor . W all mounting the rear speak er s yst em Befor e mounting • 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 dangerous. 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. • 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.

Balancing the surround sound Y ou can further improve surround sound performance by balancing the levels from the subwoofer , center and surround speakers relative to the front left/right speakers. T o 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. It may not be possible to accurately adjust the subwoofer level using this method. Y ou may prefer to leave it on its default setting and adjust it to your liking later when playing surround-sound sources. • You cannot change the DSP mode when Record mode is active (see Direct recor ding on page 25). 1 Pre ss SURR OUND MODE.

23 En 6 Using Surr ound Sound Using sound mode s 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. 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. 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. List ening t o surround-sound sour ces When you play DVD discs with Dolby Digital or DTS sound, choose from the following sound settings. • Aut o – 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. • Standar d – 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. • Dr ama – Classic, mid-size movie theater sound. • Ac tion – Large, modern movie theater sound. • V ir tual Surr ound 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. • V ir tual Surr ound 2 (VIR.SURR.2) – Virtual surround sound if you have connected the surround speakers, but are using them in front of the listening position. • R ear W ide – Widens the rear channel soundstage. Adjusting the bass and tr eble The simplest way to shape the sound is by adjusting the amount of bass and treble. • The bass and treble controls have no effect when using the DSP modes, or when the surround mode is set to anything other than S T AND ARD , AU TO or SURR . OFF (surround off). • Y ou cannot adjust the bass or treble when Record mode is active (see Direct recor ding on page 25). 1 Pre ss SOUND. 2 Use the 2 or 3 but t ons t o selec t B ASS or TREBLE. 3 Use the 5 and ∞ but tons t o adjust the sound. Y ou can see the current level in the display . 4 Pre ss 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. • P .Bass has no effect when listening through headphones. • Y ou cannot adjust P .Bass when Record mode is active (see Direct recor ding on page 25). 1 Pre ss SOUND. 2 Use the 2 or 3 but t ons t o selec t P .B ASS. 3 Use the 5 and ∞ but tons t o switch on or off . 4 Pre ss ENTER.
24 En Using Surr ound Sound 6 • The DSP effects cannot be used in combination with the surround modes or with 96kHz digital sources. • When playing stereo sources with DSP effects switched off, there is no sound from the surround and center speakers. • Y ou cannot change the DSP mode when Record mode is active (see Direct recording on the following page). 1 Pre ss DSP t o selec t a sound mode. Each press changes the mode as follows: • HALL 1 • HALL 2 • J AZZ • D ANCE • THEA TER 1 • THEA TER 2 • SIMULA TED STEREO • DSP OFF (no effects added) Adjusting the effec t lev el Y ou can adjust the effect level when using one of the DSP effects or Advanced Theater effects. It is not possible to change the effect level of the AU T O or ST AND ARD surround mode (or when DSP or Surround modes are off). • Y ou cannot change the effect level when Record mode is active (see Direct recording on the following page). 1 Pre ss SOUND. 2 Use the 2 or 3 but t ons t o selec t EFFECT . 3 Use the 5 and ∞ but tons t o adjust the effec t le vel. Y ou can adjust the effect level in the range of 10 to 90. 4 Pre ss ENTER. • Surr ound Off (SUR.OFF) – All sources are played through only the front left and right speakers, and the subwoofer . No effects are added. • The surround modes cannot be used in combination with DSP effects or with 96kHz digital sources. • Y ou cannot change the surround mode when Record mode is active (see Direct recording on the following page). 1 Pre ss SURR OUND MODE. Each press changes the surround mode as follows: • AU T O • S T AND ARD (surround on, with no Advanced Theater effect) • MUSICAL • DRAMA • A CTION • VIR.SURR.1 • VIR.SURR.2 • REAR WIDE • SUR.OFF (surround off) List ening t o other sources with r oom effec ts Y ou 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. There are seven DSP effects to choose from: • Hall 1 – Large, wood-paneled concert hall sound. • Hall 2 – Large, stone-walled concert hall sound. • Jazz – Live jazz club sound. • Dance – Nightclub sound. • Theat er 1 – Classic, mid-size movie theater sound. • Theat er 2 – Large, modern movie theater sound. • Simulat ed St ereo – V irtual stereo for mono sources.

27 En 7 Pla ying Discs Making a pr ogr am list Making a program list means telling the player which tracks, and in what order , you want played. You can program a sequence of up to 24 tracks/chapters to play from any of the discs loaded in the disc changer . The discs can be any combination of DVD, V ideo CD and audio CD. Chapters/tracks can appear more than once in the playlist, or can be left out entirely . 1 Pre ss PR OGRAM (SHIFT & 7). Step Chap Title Track Disc Disc DVD VCD ???

If a step in the program list cannot be played (because the track number is too high, for example), that step is automatically skipped. • T o delete the playlist, stop playback, then press CLEAR . • Y ou may see an asterisk (*) appear on-screen when program play of some DVD discs starts. The asterisk means that the part of the disc being played is not in the playlist, but has to be played whenever the disc is first loaded in to the play position. The asterisk will disappear once the programmed chapters start playing. More pr ogr amming op tions There are several other options available when making/ using program lists. • T o vie w the playlist, pr ess PR OGRAM (SHIFT & 7). • T o delet e an entry from the pla ylist, position the cursor on the title/chap ter/ tr ack number and pre ss CLEAR. • T o add an entry t o the end of the pla ylist, pr ess PR OGR AM (SHIFT & 7), ent er the title/chapt er/tr ack number , then pre ss pr ogr am again. • T o delet e the pla ylist, exit the pr ogr am list screen, st op playback, then pr ess CLEAR. Using r andom pla y Use the random play function to play titles/chapters/ tracks in a random order . How random play works depends on the disc currently in the play position. If the ‘current ’ disc is a DVD, you can play either the titles or chapters on that disc at random. If the ‘ current’ disc is an audio or V ideo CD, you can play either the tracks on that disc, or all the tracks on all the CDs and Video CDs loaded at random (DVD discs loaded will be ignored). 1 Pre ss R ANDOM (SHIFT & 8) r epeat edly t o selec t a random pla y mode. The mode is displayed on-screen and in the front panel display: • Random Chapt er (from within the current title) • Random T itle • Random 1 Disc • Random All Discs 2 Pre ss ENTER or 6 t o start random pla y . • T o stop the disc and cancel random playback, press 7. • T o cancel random playback without stopping playback, press CLEAR . The rest of the disc plays out. During random play , the 4 and ¢ buttons function a little differently to normal: 4 returns to the beginning of the current track/chapter . Y ou can't go back further than this. ¢ selects another track/ chapter at random from those remaining. Using r epeat play Y ou can set the player to repeat individual tracks on CDs or Video-CDs, chapters or titles on DVD discs, a whole disc, or all the discs loaded in the player . It's also possible to loop a section of a disc. Y ou can use the repeat together with the programming mode to repeat the tracks/chapters in the playlist (see page 27 for how to program a playlist). 1 Pre ss REPEA T (SHIFT & 9) during play - back t o selec t a r epeat mode.

Playback jumps back to the start point. Pla ying CDs only (CD Mode) Using this feature you can play only the CDs loaded in the disc tray —automatically skipping over any DVDs or Video CDs loaded. This may be useful if you have a mixture of discs loaded but only want to play music: you don't have to keep track of what kind of disc is where in the disc tray . 1 Pre ss CD MODE. The CD Mode indicator lights. • T o switch off, press CD MODE again. 2 Pre ss 6. The player automatically starts playing the first CD loaded. Once all the CDs loaded have played, the player automatically stops. • In CD Mode, use the DISC SKIP button to rotate the disc tray to the next CD loaded (if there is one). • Y ou can use repeat and random play in CD Mode (see page 28 and this page). • Y ou can't switch on CD mode while playing a DVD or Video CD. Stop playback first. • Program play is not possible in CD Mode. However , it is possible to program a playlist. When you start program play , CD Mode is canceled (see page 27). Bookmarking a place in a disc If you watch only part of a DVD disc with the intention of picking up later where you left off, you can bookmark the place then resume playback at a later date without having to manually search for the right place. Y ou can use this feature for up to five discs (after that the oldest bookmark is deleted to make space for a new one). • A t the point from which y ou want t o r e sume pla yback next time, pr ess LAS T MEMO (SHIFT & 2). Press 7 if you want to stop playback here. • T o r esume pla yback, load the disc and pr ess LAST MEMO (SHIFT & 2). If the disc starts auto playback, stop it first. • T o clear the bookmark for the disc loaded, press LAST MEMO (SHIFT & 2) then CLEAR while Last Memory is displayed on-screen. • Bookmarking also works with Video CD, but for one disc only , and you must leave the disc in the player — opening the disc tray erases the memory . Last Memory may not work reliably with some PBC V ideo CDs.
30 En Pla ying Discs 7 Memorizing disc set tings If you have a particular set of preferences for a disc, you can memorize them using the Condition Memory function. Once memorized, your settings will be recalled automatically whenever you load that disc. The player can store settings for 15 discs; after this, memorizing another replaces the oldest one stored. The settings memorized are: • OSD P osition (page 36) • Subtitle Language (page 37) • Audio Language (page 37) • Angle Indicat or (page 36) • P ar ental Lock le v el (page 39) • T o memorize set tings for the current disc, pr ess CONDITION (SHIFT & 1) during pla yback. • T o r ecall memorized set tings, just load the disc.

33 En 9 Adv anced Sound Setup Dynamic Range Contr ol 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. • Y ou can’t change this setting if the Record mode is on (see page 25). 1 Pre ss SY STEM SETUP . 2 Pre ss the 2 or 3 but t on until you see D.R.C. in the displa y . 3 Use the 5 and ∞ but t ons to select a dynamic r ange set ting. • D .R .C .

Ad v anced sound set tings This chapter covers advanced settings to further optimize the sound of your system. LFE at t enuat or 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 . The LFE attenuator only works with sources that contain an LFE channel. It is not a general level control for the sub-woofer . • Y ou can’t change this setting if the Record mode is on (see page 25). 1 Pre ss S YS TEM SETUP . 2 Pre ss the 2 or 3 but t on until you see LFE in the displa y . 3 Use the 5 and ∞ but tons t o set the amount of signal r eduction.

Setting the level at 1 means that any disc with any level of restriction will need the password in order to watch it, while setting it at level 8 gives unlimited access. DVD discs are also rated from 1 to 8. Discs rated 1 (or with no rating) generally contain little or no offensive material; discs rated 2, may contain material that some parents may feel is unsuitable for children. Discs rated 8 will almost certainly be unsuitable for children. Since a disc ’ s rating is up to the manufacturer , it is not possible to give a definitive guide to each level — check the disc box for parental lock details.

See also Dolby Digital. MPEG video The video format used for Video CDs and DVDs. V ideo CD uses the older MPEG-1 standard, while DVD uses the newer and much better quality MPEG-2 standard. PBC (Pla yBack Contr ol) (V ideo 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. R egions (D VD 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). T itle (D VD only) A collection of chapters on a DVD disc. See also Chapter . St oring discs 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. A void leaving discs in excessively cold, humid, or hot environments (includ- ing under direct sunlight). 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. Discs t o av oid 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. 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. Glossar y Aspect ratio The width of a TV screen relative to its height. Conven- tional 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).
