only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are
unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try
reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit,
contact your electrician to replace your obsolete
outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the
polarized plug.
• If this product is equipped with a three-wire
grounding type plug, a plug having a third
(grounding) pin, it will only fit into a grounding type

We Want You Listening For
A Lifetime
LISI'ENING
For A Lifahne_

g)ea¢
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 distortionand, most importantly,
without affecting your
sensitive hearing.

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.

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.

Using other types of video
output
This player has standard (composite),
S-Video and component video outputs. The
main difference between them is the quality
of the picture. S-Video delivers a better
picture than standard composite video, while
component video gives better picture quality
still. The variety of outputs also gives you the
flexibility of connecting your particular
equipment using the best connection type
available.

Unfortunately,
if your-iV has no inputs
you can't use this player with it.
My VCR is already connected to my _ so
there aren't any spare inputs. What
should I do?
If all your TV's inputs are already in use,
you can buy a video input selector from
an electronics store, which effectively
gives you more inputs.
My TVonly has one input for the sound.
What should I plug it into?
If you don't mind mono sound, you can
buy a stereo RCA-to-mono RCA cable
from an electronics store. Connect the
stereo end to this player and the mono
end to your TV.
If you want stereo sound, connect

this

I connected the DVD player to my AV

there's no picture. What did I do wrong?
Make sure that the type of video
connection from the DVD player to your
AV receiver is the same as that from the
receiver to your T_. Most AV receivers
won't convert from one kind of connection to another.

Taking care of your player
and discs
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.

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.

For more detailed
instructions

care information

see the

that come with discs.

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

Discs to avoid

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

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.

Don't wipe the disc surface using
circular strokes,
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.

This unit is designed for use with conventional, fully circular discs only. Never use
shaped discs with this product. Pioneer
disclaims all liability arising in connection
with the use of shaped discs.

Additional

Cleaning

Information

the pickup lens

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 for CD
players are commercially
available, we do
not recommend using them since some may
damage the lens,

Problems

with

condensation

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.

Hints on installation
We want you to enjoy using this unit for
years to come, so please bear in mind the
following points when choosing a suitable
location for it:

Place directly on top of an amplifier, or
other component in your stereo system
that becomes hot in use.
X Use near a television or monitor as you
may experience interference--especially
if the television uses an indoor antenna.
X Use in a kitchen or other room where
the player may be exposed to •smoke or
steam.
X Use on athick rug or carpet, or cover
with cloth--this
may prevent proper
cooling of the unit.
X Place on an unstable surface,

or one

that is not large enough to support all
four of the unit's feet.

Moving

the player

If you need to move the player, first remove
all discs, then press _ $TANDBWON
on the
front panel to turn the player off. Wait for OFF-. to disappear from the display, then
unplug the power cord. Never lift or move the
unit ,:luring playback--discs
rotate at a high
speed and may be damaged.

Power cord caution
DO,.I

¢" Use in a wellwentilated

room.

¢" Place on a solid, flat, level surface, such
as a table, shelf or stereo rack.
Don't...
X 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 the player will be exposed to
direct sunlight.
Use in an excessively dusty or damp
environment.

Handle the power cord by the plug part. 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, or other object on
the power cord or pinch the cord in any other
way. Never make a knot in the cord or tie it
with other cords. The power cords should be
routed so that they are not likely to be
stepped on. A damaged power cord can
cause a fire or give you an electric shock.
Check the power cord once in a while. If you
find it damaged, ask your nearest Pioneer
authorized service center or your dealer for a
replacement.

Additional Information

DTS

Igg
DTS stands for Digital Theater Systems. 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).
Dotby Digital and DTS soundtracks are
capable of a very wide dynamic range,
delivering dramatic cinema-like effects.
File extension
Atag added to the end of afilenameto
indicate the type of file. For 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 AV
amplifiers. See also PCM.
MPEG video
The video format used for Video 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 DAT.
Excellent quality, but requires a lot of data
compared to formats such as Dolby Digital

and MPEG audio. For compatibility
with
digital audio recorders (CD, MD and DAT)
and AV amplifiers with digital inputs, this
unit can convert Dolby Digital, DTS and
MPEG audio to PCM. See also Digitalaudio.
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. You 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 frequency
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 frequency of 44.1 kHz, which means 44,100
samples (measurements)
per second. See
also Digital audio.
S1 S-video output
This S-video signal format includes aspect
ratio information (4:3 or 16:9) within the
video signal,
S2 S-video output
$2 is an enhanced version of S-video which,
in addition to aspect ratio information,
contains letterbox / pan & scan information,
Widescreen TVs which are compatible with
$2 S-video automatically switch to the
appropriate mode according to the signal.
