We Want You Listening For A Lifetime

IJSrE_ING

_)e.a.,t C_.'

Selecting fine audio equipment _uch 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 asafe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.

To establish a safe level:

• Start yourvolume controlata lowsetting.

• Slowly increasethesound until you can hear it comfortablyand

clearly, and withoutdistortion.

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.

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.

PRECAUTIONS

If it becomes necessary to transport or ship this unit in the future, be sure to first remove the disc (if loaded), and retract the disc table to its closed position

and turn the power off. After the "OFF" display goes out on the display, disconnect the power cord.

INSTALLING THE PLAYER

• Place the player on a stable platform next to the television

and stereo system to be used with the player.

• When using the player with a stereo system you rspeakers should be placed away from your television (orTV monitor).

• Do not place heavy objects such as a television or TV monitor on top of the player.

• Do not place the player on top of your TV set or TV monitor. Also, keep the player away from devices such

as cassette decks which are sensitive to magnetic fields.

When FM or AM stations are being received, signal noise may be generated if the player is turned on. Turn off the

player when not in use. Also, if there is signal noise when receiving radio stations with an indoor antenna, adjust the position or direction of the antenna.

INSTALL THE PLAYER IN A WELL VENTILATED

PLACE AWAY FROM HEAT AND HUMIDITY

Do not install the player in a location subject to direct sunlight, or near a stove or radiator etc. This could adversely affect the cabinet and internal components. Also avoid installing the

player in a humid or dusty location. This could result in a malfunction or accident. Do not install near a cookstove

where the player could be affected by smoke, steam, or heat.

AVOID SOURCES OF HEAT

Do not put the player on sources of heat, such as an amplifier. When installing with audio components on a rack, avoid components that generate heat, by placing the player below such components where there is adequate ventilation and not much dust. Avoid placing the player on surfaces such as shaggy carpets, beds, and sofas which may block ventilation under the player and cause damage.

CAUTIONS FOR AUTOMATIC LOADING OPERATIONS

Since this player has an automatic loading construction, use the button on the player or the remote control unit for opening and closing of the disc table. To avoid damage, be careful not to apply any force to the moving

disc table.

Even when the player is in the pause mode, the disc-drive

motor is still revolving. Since leaving the player in this condition can shorten the lifetime of the motor, do not leave the player in the pause mode for long periods of time. Also, to prevent the damage to the screen, do not use the unit for long periods of

time under conditions in which the screen display (monitor) has been displayed characters (for example, power-ON mode, CD

PLAY, PAUSE)

Take the following precautions to avoid accidentst

Be careful not to catch your finger in the disc table section while the disc table is being retracted into the unit. Also, be careful that children do not put their

hands into the inside of the unit while the disc table is open. This may cause injury.

STRIPE PATTERNS APPEARING ON A TV PROGRAM

Stripe patterns may appear during a TV program if the player unit is turned on, depending on the quality of reception of

the TV station. This is neither a malfunction of the television nor the player. If stripes appear while watching the TV, or

when watching the TV for long periods of time, turn the player off.

CONDENSATION Moisture will form in the operating section of the player

if the player is brought from cool surroundings into a

warm room or if the temperature of the room rises

suddenly. When this happens, player's performance will be impaired.

To prevent this, let the player stand in its new

surroundings for about an hour before switching it on, or make sure that the room temperature rises gradually.

The same, symptoms of condensation may be caused during summer, if the player is exposed to the breeze from an air

conditioner. In such cases change the location of the player.

POWER-CORD CAUTION

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 electric shock. Do not place the 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 fire or give you an electrical shock. 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.

surface of the player.

Abnormal functioning of this unit may be caused by static electricity or other external inter-ference. To

restore normal operation, unplug the AC power cord

and then plug it in again.

FEATURES AND FUNCTIONS OF THE PLAYER

LP,a.boo.Funct,o°s 1 { O..er °a.ures ]

Program Playback

Up to 24 chapters can be programmed for playback in any desired sequence.

Random Playback (For LDs, this function is available with only discs containing TOC.)

All chapters of one side of a disc can be played in random order.

Repeat Playback

Eight repeat modes -Memory Repeat, A-B Repeat, 1-chapter/ track Repeat, One-side Repeat, All side Repeat (for two-side

LDs only), Program Repeat, Random Repeat and Program Random Repeat - are available. (With discs having no TOC,

Random Repeat cannot be carried out.)

Hi-Litellntro Scan Playback

Hi-Lite Scan - CD, CDV-audio part

Playback starts from a point 1 minute after the beginning

of the track, and each track is played for about 8 seconds. Also, Hi-Lite Scan playback can be started from the desired

minute and second on each track.

Intro Scan - LD, CDV-video part

The beginning of each chapter/track is played for about 8

seconds.

Auto Program Editing/Compu Program Editing

The player automatically selects and programs the tracks which can be played back within a specified time.

J LD (LaserDisc) Playback Functions ]

Gamma-Turn System - Two-Side Continuous Playback

With this function, both sides of a two-sided LD can be played consecutively, eliminating the need to turn the disc over when

the first side of completed. A Side _ B Side Continuous Playback Programs

Through the use of the Gamma-Turn system, programs which go from side A to side Bor from side B to side A can be freely

created.

Special Play Functions Utilizing Digital Video Memory

The video system's jitter compensation circuit uses a digital

TBC which has a wide compensation range and theoretically no signal degradation, resulting in high picture quality.

Moreover, an 8-bit digital memory circuit is incorporated, enabling you to enjoy a variety of special play functions with

high picture quality, even with CLV discs.

Last Memory Function

With this function, if you turn the power switch off during playback of an LD, a playback position slightly ahead of the last

_fame to be p\aye_ '_sstored _nmemory/_\ast memo_V_ .'qkl_en

the power is turned back on, playback begins from the memorized position by pressing I_/1_1_1.

CD (Compact Disc)/CDV (Compact Disc with Video) Playback functions

Direct CD function

Pressing DIRECT CD on the front panel instructs the unit to use the CD disc table, which reduces the play starting time.

In addition, since the picture circuit does not function, the player eliminates the interference between signals and

reproduces more pure sound.

Digital NR system

Most LD discs contain noise and/or color distortion in the

source. This player uses a digital noise reduction system which effectively reduces noise and color distortion and

allows you to independently change the brightness and saturation as desired. Digital processing reproduces images with superior picture quality.

Digital TBC system

A digital TBC system is used for correcting jitter in the picture

processing circuitry, featuring a wide correction range, minimal

signal degradation and high-quality picture reproduction.

1-Bit DLC D/A Converters

D/A converters are devices for transforming digital signals into analog signals. The D/A converter used in this player employs an advanced 1-bit conversion system. Compared to conventional converters, this system has the following advantages.

• Theoretically no zero cross distortion is generated.

• The system is free of non-liner distortion throughout the frequency range.

• High-precision operation can be obtained without adjustments.

With this type of conversion, there is no loss of music quality

even at minute signal levels. Moreover, the noise shaping function necessary for 1-bit conversion is implemented using a double-step noise shaping system. This system carries out

noise shaping once in the preliminary digital filter stage and then again in the D/A converter section, thus minimizing quantization noise and providing extremely high-precision

conversion. Furthermore, two of these D/A converters are

used independently for the left and right channels, realizing a

high signal-to-noise ratio and excellent separation.

Auto Loading and Automatic Disc Discriminaiton

Funcitons

This unit has a built-in motor-driven auto loading mechanism

which automatically opens and closes the disc table and

makes disc loading easy.

Also, once a disc is placed on the table and the table is

retracted into the player, the player automatically detects

which type of disc (LD, CD, or CDV) is loaded.

Compatibility with Many Disc Types and Sizes

Inaddition to conventional LDs (12 inch, 8 inch), CDs (5 inch), and CDV discs (5 inch), the player can play thin-type 8 inch LDs and 3 inch CD singles without an adapter.

Film mode

When Film Mode is ON, the front panel display window and

£ereen digDlav are turned off during playback, and the screen

gOeS b_ack when changing disc sides, Play starting time and

the time required to change disc sides is shorter than durir_g normal playback. This mode is most suitable for playback of

movie discs.

Provided with S-Video Connector and 3-Line Digital Y-C Separation Circuit.

Digital Level Control Using JOG-Dial Adjustment.
