2 Find the name of the manufacturer of
your TV in the Preset code list on page 70.
Next to each manufacturer is one or more
three digit codes. These tell the remote what

using the next code in the list until your TV
switches off successfully. Once set, you can
use the individual TV controls shown below.

Note
• The default setting is for a Pioneer TV.

use of graphical on-screen displays (OSDs).
You should get used to the way these work as
you’ll need to use them when setting up the
system, using some of the playback features,
such as program play, and when making more
advanced settings for audio and video.
All the screens are navigated in basically the
same way, using the cursor buttons (, , ,

European model only

An introduction to RDS

Educate – Educational material

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.

Drama – Radio plays or serials

Varied – Usually talk-based material, such
as quiz shows or interviews.
Pop M – Pop music
Rock M – Rock music
Easy M – Easy listening music

Other M – Other music not fitting any of
the above categories

The receiver lets you display three different
kinds of RDS information: Radio Text, Program
Service Name, and Program Type.

Children – Programs for children

Program Service Name (PS) is the name of the
radio station.
Program Type (PTY) indicates the kind of
program currently being broadcast.
The receiver can search for and display the
following program types:
News – News
Affairs – Current affairs
Info – General information
Sport – Sport

Science – Science and technology

Probably 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.

Radio Text (RT) is messages sent by the radio
station. These can be anything the broadcaster
chooses—a talk radio station might give out it
telephone number as RT, for example.

Culture – National or regional culture,
theater, etc.

Light M – ‘Light’ classical music
Classics – ‘Serious’ classical music

Weather – Weather reports
Finance – Stock market reports,
commerce, trading, etc.
Social – Social affairs
Religion – Programs concerning religion
Phone In – Public expressing their views
by phone
Travel – Holiday-type travel rather than
traffic announcements
Leisure – Leisure interests and hobbies
Jazz – Jazz
Country – Country music
Nation M – Popular music in a language
other than English
Oldies – Popular music from the ’50s and
’60s
Folk M – Folk music
Document – Documentaries

• Press DISPLAY to select the RDS
information display.
Each press changes the display as follows:

• PTY SEARCH – see Searching for RDS
programs below

3 Use / (cursor left/right) to select
the program type you want to hear.
4 Press ENTER to search for the program
type.
The system starts searching through the
station presets for a match. When it finds one,
the search stops and the station plays for five
seconds.
5 If you want to keep listening to the

If you don’t press ENTER, searching resumes.

Use the DISPLAY button to display the
different types of RDS information available

One of the most useful features of RDS is the
ability to search for a particular kind of radio
program. You can search for any of the
program types listed on the previous page.

Deutsch

Displaying RDS information

Searching for RDS programs

English

In addition, there are three other program
types, TEST, Alarm!, and None. Alarm! and
TEST are used for emergency announcements.
You can’t search for these, but the tuner will
switch automatically to this RDS broadcast
signal. None appears when a program type
cannot be found.

Note

Español

• If any noise is picked up while displaying
the RT scroll, some characters may be
displayed incorrectly.
• If you see No Data in the RT display, it
means no RT data is transmitted from the
broadcast station. If you have entered a
name for the station, it is broadcast instead
of RT data. If you haven’t, 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 Data or None is shown. If this
happens, the PS display is shown after a
few seconds.

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.

Nederlands

CD-ROMs contain folders and files. MP3 and
WMA files are referred to as tracks. Folders
may contain further folders.

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.

DVD Video regions
All DVD Video discs carry a region mark on the
case somewhere that indicates which
region(s) of the world the disc is compatible
with. Your DVD system also has a region mark,
which you can find on the rear panel. Discs
from incompatible regions will not play in this
player. Discs marked ALL will play in any
player.

Wipe lightly from the center of the disc using
straight strokes.

Don’t wipe the disc surface using circular
strokes.

Additional information

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.

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 sharptipped writing instrument. These could all
damage the disc.

For more detailed care information see the
instructions that come with discs.

This unit is designed for use with conventional,
fully circular discs only. Use of shaped discs is
not recommended for this product. Pioneer
disclaims all liability arising in connection with
the use of shaped discs.

Proper installation and
maintenance of this system
Hints on installation
We want you to enjoy using this system for
years to come, so please bear in mind the
following points when choosing a suitable
location for it:
Do...
Use in a well-ventilated room.
Place on a solid, flat, level surface, such as
a table, shelf or stereo rack.
Don’t...
Use in a place exposed to high
temperatures or humidity, including near
radiators and other heat-generating
appliances.

Do not load more than one disc into the player
at a time.

Place on a window sill or other place where
the system will be exposed to direct
sunlight.

Discs to avoid

Use in an excessively dusty or damp
environment.

Discs spin at high speed inside the player. If
you can see that a disc is cracked, chipped,
warped, or otherwise damaged, don't risk
using it in your player—you could end up
damaging the unit.

Place directly on top of an amplifier, or
other component in your stereo system
that 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
system may be exposed to smoke or steam.
Use on a thick rug or carpet, or cover with
cloth—this may prevent proper cooling of
the system.

Cleaning the pickup lens

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.

Italiano
Nederlands

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. For this reason you should leave
it to adjust to the warmer temperature for
about an hour before switching on and using.

Français

Problems with condensation

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 an electric
shock. Do not place this 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.

Deutsch

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.
Although lens cleaners are commercially
available, we do not recommend using them
since some may damage the lens.

Power cord caution

English

Place on an unstable surface, or one that is
not large enough to support all four of the
unit’s feet.

Moving the system unit

Español

If you need to move the main unit, first remove
a disc if there’s one in the player, then press
STANDBY/ON on the front panel to turn the
system off. Wait for Good Bye to disappear
from the display, then unplug the power cord.
Never lift or move the unit during playback—
discs rotate at a high speed and may be
damaged.
Note
• Unplugging the unit before Good Bye
disappears from the display may cause the
system to return to the factory settings.

Additional information

Screen 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.

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.

Televisions also come in different aspect
ratios; ‘standard’ 4:3 and widescreen 16:9.

Widescreen TV users
If you have a widescreen TV, the TV Screen
setting (see Video Output settings on page 49)
of this system should be set to 16:9 (Wide).

Please note that many widescreen discs
override the system’s settings so that the disc
is shown in letterbox format regardless of the
setting.

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.
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.

Standard TV users
If you have a standard TV, the TV Screen
setting (see Video Output settings on page 49)
of this system 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.

Tip
• 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.

Selecting languages using the
language code list
Some of the language options (see Language
settings on page 50) allow you to set your
preferred language from any of the 136
languages listed in the Language code list on
page 69.
