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 distor-

tion.

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.

We Want You 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

On DVD-Video discs, the contents are divided into titles which are in turn divided into chapters. With video material, a single work (movie etc.) usually corresponds to a single title, with different scenes corresponding to separate chapters. With karaoke discs, one song corresponds to one title. However, some discs are not organized like this, so bear this in mind when using the Search function.

Video CD and CD

On CDs and Video CDs, the contents are divided into tracks. One track usually corresponds to one song. On some discs, tracks may also feature an index.

Operation of the Display

You can select a desired mode for enlarging a 4:3 picture to a 16:9 one.

• Select the desired mode in the following order:

Full (FULL) = Just (JUST) = Cinema (CINEMA) = Zoom (ZOOM) = Normal

(NORMAL)

Full (FULL)

A 4:3 picture is enlarged in the horizontal direction only, enabling you to enjoy a 4:3 TV picture (normal picture) without any omissions.

Just (JUST)

The picture is enlarged slightly at the center and the amount of enlargement increases horizontally to the ends, enabling you to enjoy a 4:3 picture without sensing any disparity even on a wide screen.

Cinema (CINEMA)

A picture is enlarged by the same proportion as FULL or ZOOM in the horizontal direction and by an intermediate proportion between FULL and ZOOM in the vertical direction; ideal for a cinema-sized picture (wide-screen picture) where captions lie outside.

Zoom (ZOOM)

A 4:3 picture is enlarged in the same proportion both vertically and horizontally; ideal for a cinema-sized picture (wide-screen picture).

Normal (NORMAL)

A 4:3 picture is displayed as it is, giving you no sense of disparity since its proportions are the same as that of the normal picture.

Note:

• Different settings can be memorized for the AV, VTR and RGB video. In addition, different settings can also be memorized for a component (AV) connected to the AV-BUS input.

• The Wide Mode used for menu setting is switched to Full (FULL). The Wide Mode will return when the menu setting is deleted.

Using the Display Correctly

Page 67

About the Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) Screen

• If the display is near the vent of an air conditioner when it is deployed, make sure that air from the air conditioner is not blowing on it. Heat from the heater may break the LCD screen, and cool air from the cooler may cause moisture to form inside the display resulting in possible damage. Also, if the display is cooled down by the cooler, the screen may become dark, or the life span of the small fluorescent tube used inside the display may be shortened.

• Small black dots or white dots (bright dots) may appear on the LCD screen. These are due to the characteristics of the LCD screen and do not indicate a problem with the display.

• At low temperatures, the LCD screen may be dark for a while after the power is turned ON.

• The LCD screen will be difficult to see if it is exposed to direct sunlight.

Keeping the Display in Good Condition

• When removing dust from the screen or cleaning the display, first turn the system power OFF, then wipe with a soft dry cloth.

• When wiping the screen, take care not to scratch the surface. Do not use harsh or abrasive chemical cleaners.

About the Small Fluorescent Tube

• A small fluorescent tube is used inside the display to illuminate the LCD screen. * The fluorescent tube should last for approximately 10,000 hours, depending on

operating conditions. (Using the display at low temperatures reduces the service life of the fluorescent tube.)

* When the fluorescent tube reaches the end of its useful life, the screen will be

dark and the image will no longer be projected. If this happens, consult your dealer or the nearest authorized PIONEER Service Station.

Terms

Aspect Ratio

This is the width-to-height ratio of a TV screen. A regular display has an aspect ratio of 4:3. Wide-screen displays have an aspect ratio of 16:9, providing a bigger picture for exceptional presence and atmosphere.

Chapter

DVD titles are in turn divided into chapters which are numbered in the same way as the chapters of a book. With DVDs featuring chapters, you can quickly find a desired scene with Chapter Search.

Dolby Digital

Dolby Digital provides multi-channel audio from up to 5.1 independent channels. This system is the same as the Dolby Digital surround sound system used in theaters. To enjoy Dolby Digital entertainment, you must connect this unit’s optical digital output jacks to the optical digital input jacks of a Dolby Digital compatible amp.

DTS

This stands for Digital Theater Systems. Unlike Dolby Digital, DTS is a surround system delivering multi-channel audio from up to 6 independent channels. To enjoy discs featuring DTS audio recording, you must connect this unit’s optical digital output jacks to the optical digital input jacks of a DTS compatible amp or decoder.

Linear PCM (LPCM)

This stands for Linear Pulse Code Modulation, which is the signal recording system used for music CDs. Compared to music CDs, which feature 44.1 kHz/16-bit recordings, DVDs feature 48 kHz/16-bit – 96 kHz/24-bit recordings. The result is sound quality even higher than that provided by music CDs.

MPEG

This stands for Moving Pictures Experts Group, and is an international video image compression standard. Some DVDs feature digital audio compressed and recorded using this system.

Multi-Angle

With regular TV programs, although multiple cameras are used to simultaneously shoot scenes, only images from one camera at a time are transmitted to your TV. Some DVDs feature scenes shot from multiple angles, letting you choose your viewing angle as desired.

Others

Multi-Audio (Multilingual Dialog)

Some DVDs feature dialog recorded in multiple languages. Dialog in up to 8 languages can be recorded on a single disc, letting you choose as desired.

Multi-Subtitle

Subtitles in up to 32 languages can be recorded on a single DVD, letting you choose as desired.

Optical Digital Output

By transmitting the audio signal as a digital signal, it’s possible to minimize any loss of sound quality. Optical digital output refers to the transmission (output) of a digital audio signal via optical cable. (The amp or other component on the reception side must have optical digital inputs.)

Parental Lock

Some DVDs with violent or adult-oriented scenes feature parental lock which prevents children from viewing such scenes. With this kind of disc, if you set this unit’s parental lock level, playback of scenes inappropriate for children will not be possible, or these scenes will be skipped.

Playback Control (PBC)

This is a playback control signal recorded on Video CDs (Version 2.0). Using menu displays provided by Video CDs with PBC lets you enjoy playback of simple interactive software and software with search functions. You can also enjoy viewing high- and standard-resolution still images.

Region Number

DVD players and DVD discs feature region numbers indicating the area in which they were purchased. Playback of a DVD is not possible unless it features the same region number as the DVD player. This unit’s region number is displayed on the rear of the unit.

Title

DVDs have a high data capacity, enabling recording of multiple movies on a single disc. If, for example, one disc contains three separate movies, they are divided into Title 1, Title 2 and Title 3. This lets you enjoy the convenience of Title Search and other functions.
