DIGITAL HOME CINEMA

GOING DIGITAL: HOW TO BUILD YOUR OWN SYSTEM

A digital home cinema set-up may seem like a huge change, but it is not. Take a look at the simple steps below, and discover how easy it is to create your very own home cinema system.

Step 1: Add a DVD Player

Start out with what you have: your TV/VCR combination, stereo hi-fi speakers, CD player and amplifier. Then add a DVD-Video player to your TV/VCR combination. In addition to outstanding image quality and superb sound, DVDVideo allows you to view films in various languages, with a selection of soundtracks and subtitles. You can also enjoy other features like viewing per chapter and, on some DVDs, camera angle selection.

Step 2: Add an A/V Receiver or Amplifier + Centre/Rear Speakers

Add a Pioneer A/V surround amplifier or receiver as well as centre and rear speakers to experience supreme surround sound. Choose carefully because the A/V amplifier or receiver is the central component in any home cinema system, connecting all the units and amplifying sound from your TV, DVD, CD, or MiniDisc. A Pioneer A/V amplifier or receiver not only provides powerful sound, but can accept a variety of image sources, like a video camera or game console. This is especially easy if your A/V unit has input terminals on its front panel.

Step 3: Add an Active Subwoofer

The final touch. Add a quality subwoofer to create perfect 5.1-channel surround sound. With 6 speakers in total — 2 front, 2 rear, 1 centre and 1 subwoofer, you’ll be able to enjoy Dolby Digital or DTS surround sound to its full extent. The front left and right, centre, rear left and right speakers span a wide range of frequencies and there is a dedicated low frequency speaker for extra sound impact. The subwoofer guarantees sonorous bass reproduction, just like in the cinema. Pioneer’s A/V amplifiers and receivers offer built-in support for decoding compressed 5.1-channel surround sound sources, which wraps you in sound. If your existing speakers seem a bit tired, treat yourself to a completely new 5.1-channel A/V speaker set!

Page 11

DIGITAL HOME CINEMA

Step 4: Add Surround Back Speaker(s) for 6.1/7.1 Surround Sound

Be future proof. With THX Surround EX/Dolby Digital EX and DTS-ES, surround sound has gone one step further by adding an additional “Surround Back” channel. So adding one or two satellite speakers behind the listener means an even more impressive soundscape.

One-stop Solution – buying a Digital Home Cinema System

Let Pioneer do the work for you. There’s no need to go through the steps of building your own system from different components. Simply buy a complete Digital Home Cinema System with an all-in main unit plus speaker package. Or go for one of our digital home cinema combinations, including a DVD-Video player and A/V amplifier/receiver, with or without A/V speaker set. For stylish and space-saving home cinema choose from our slimline range.

RECORDING FUNCTIONS

One-touch Recording

Just press the REC button to start recording for thirty minutes. For each time you push, an additional thirty minutes will be recorded. That means for a full two hours’ recording, you simply push four times. It’s that straightforward.

Two Convenient Recording Modes.

Both the “Video Mode” and “Video Recording (VR) Mode” are based on MPEG compression technology for real time recording of high-quality images.

“Video Mode” With “Video Mode” recording, you can record 1 or 2 hours on one DVD-R or DVD-RW. You can playback the discs recorded by DVR-7000 on many existing DVD-Video playback systems.

“Video Recording (VR) Mode” Using DVD-RW discs, you can record 1-6 hours depending on desired picture quality. Pioneer offers no less than 32 steps, combining variable bit rate recording with the best matching resolution. Advanced editing is possible. Playback is on “RW-Compatible” players.

On top of that, the Pioneer DVD Recorder brings you easy recording features from a variety of sources. You can easily record from a digital (external) or analogue (built-in) TV tuner. Via the i.LINK* you can record from a digital DV camcorder (digital A/V input). But you are also able to record from analogue A/V sources, like a regular VCR or an analogue camcorder.

Recording Formats and Playback Compatibility

‘DVD-Video format’ recording: The use of the DVD-Video format for recording on DVD-R and DVD-RW discs is referred to as recording in “Video Mode” on Pioneer’s DVD Recorders. Supporting playback of DVD-R/DVD-RW discs is optional for manufacturers of DVD playback equipment, and there is DVD-Video playback equipment that does not play DVD-R or DVD-RW discs recorded in the DVD-Video format. Note: ‘finalisation’ is required. ‘Video Recording (VR) format’ recording: The use of the VR format for recording on DVD-RW discs is referred to as recording in “VR Mode” on Pioneer’s DVD Recorders. DVD-RW discs recorded in the VR format can be played back on Pioneer’s and other companies’ players that feature the “RW Compatible” indication.

EDITING FUNCTIONS

Numerous editing functions in “Video Recording (VR) Mode”.

Forget multiple video decks. Turn your movie into a masterpiece using your remote control. Pioneer’s GUI (Graphical User Interface) helps you each step of the way. Call up the DiscNavi and here’s every advanced editing function – add, erase, move, copy, combine two chapters, undo last edit, and more, in the playlists. DiscNavi is where you access your original content. It’s also where you build a playlist based on the original content. You can erase all or part of the original and free up extra recording time. Or leave it as it is and play around with the playlists. You can watch where your edits start and end on-screen. Preview final results. Even make multiple playlists based on the same content – one for the family, another for friends. The DVR-7000 plays back whatever is on your playlist, keeping your original content intact.

Finally, frame accurate editing.

Say goodbye to fumbling with tapes. To look good, you need precision. That’s what you get with DVD-RW discs in “Video Recording (VR) Mode”. DiscNavi lets you define exactly where you want to add – or delete – a part. You pick the very frame where editing starts and the one where it ends. Then select OK and it’s done. Now that’s what you call super control.

Choose where to insert the new part at

DVD-VIDEO PLAYER FUNCTIONS

All the features of a Pioneer DVD-Video player.

With this gifted Pioneer performer, you enjoy full-fledged home cinema. Connect the DVR-7000 to a Dolby Digital/DTS compatible amplifier/receiver and a multi-channel A/V surround speaker system. Now you’re ready to immerse yourself in the incredible surround sound* and special effects of all the latest films. To raise

discs, and VideoCDs, too.

* Dolby Digital/DTS/MPEG DVD-Video discs. Note:

CD-R/RW Playback: CD-R/RW discs for Audio recorded in CD Audio, Video CD or MP3 audio format can be played back. Unfinalised discs except those in CD Audio formatting cannot be played back. Time display may not be shown because the TOC (table-of-contents) information is lacking. You can play back the unfinalised discs in CD audio format with limited function.

Note: When playing DTS-encoded (CDs, LDs, DVDs), excessive noise will be exhibited from the analogue stereo outputs. To avoid possible damage to the audio system, the consumer should take proper precautions when the analogue stereo outputs of the DVD player is connected to an amplification system. To enjoy DTS Digital

playback, an external 5.1-channel DTS Digital SurroundTMdecoder system must be connected to the

Surround digital output (S/PDIF, AES/EBU or TosLink) of the DVD player.

Find what you want to watch quickly and easily.

You’ll appreciate how the DVR-7000 shows you what’s recorded at a glance. Using DiscNavi in “Video Recording (VR) Mode”, you call up on-screen thumbnails of still-frames from each title and even chapters within titles. Just select the thumbnail you want and push Playback – that’s it. So much faster and more agreeable than winding or rewinding tapes.

DV-939A DVD-Audio/Video Player

WJP

b/a

If you are looking for a true reference source, look no further than this DVD-Audio/Video player for pure crystal-clear audio from DVD-Audio discs and highend image quality from DVD-Video discs. Its 192 kHz/24-bit twin D/A converter flawlessly reproduces DVD-Audio pure stereo music through the left and right front channel. Another two 2 channel 96 kHz/24-bit D/A converters guarantee the utmost multi-channel sound quality. The triple-layered chassis and acoustic damper tray keep the unit and loading tray respectively stable for exceptional sound performance. And there’s more. For hyper-realistic video images count on the Dual Stage Video Quality Enhancer to bring out the finest colours and sharpest picture possible. Its progressive scan circuit for NTSC produces smooth and detailed images, just like on the big screen. Of course, the DV-939A handles all the basic formats: DVD-Audio, DVD-Video, CD, VideoCD, CD-R, CD-RW and DVD-R/DVD-RW in “Video Mode”. And no, you’re not dreaming!

DVD-Audio: a new format is born (DV-939A, DV-757Ai, DV-656A-S, DV-656A-K)

Multi-channel Surround Sound

For true music lovers, nothing equals a live concert experience. Until now. As well as the best-ever 2 channel stereo, DVD-Audio delivers total-immersion 6-channel surround sound using a significantly higher resolution linear PCM (Pulse Code Modulation), far exceeding the frequency range of CDs. This fuller, more expressive performance makes every sound come alive. Multi-channel sources play beautifully also in 2 channel stereo.

Advanced Information and Interactive Capability

Just like DVD-Video, DVD-Audio discs feature more than the performance. In fact, your DVD-Audio disc can be crammed full of artist bios, background information, lyrics, liner notes and more. If you want, you can even highlight different sections of the music – that’s just one of several options, all easily accessed via the interactive menus. Some discs even come with videos, still photos, and connections to related websites.

Staggering Sound Realism

With CDs, it’s not unusual to lose definition in fast-paced passages or with high-pitched instruments. DVD-Audio solves that problem. With a sampling frequency 4.3 times higher and a resolution 256 times finer than CDs, DVD-Audio captures the highest frequency range and separates individual notes for richer, cleaner and astoundingly true-to-life sound. DVD-Audio’s ultra-high resolution and dynamic range (up to 144 dB compared to CD’s 96 dB) is a result of up to 24-bit quantisation and 192 kHz sampling, a significant advance over the 16-bit and 44.1 kHz of CDs.

Ultra-high Volume Storage

Imagine an audio disc that can play continuously 400 minutes of 2-channel stereo sound at

44.1 kHz/16-bit (audio CD resolution). Or more than 1 hour of 6-channel 96 kHz/24-bit or 2 channel 192 kHz/24-bit audio. A DVD-Audio disc can. Because discs can hold so much data – 4.7 Gbytes or almost seven times a CD when using the single side/single layer format.

NSV (Noise Shaped Video)* Technology by ANALOG DEVICES (DV-757Ai)

The Noise Shaped Video system uses sigma-delta and bit-shuffling to shape the video or converter noise to a higher frequency. This can then be moved to an area of the spectrum where it can be easily removed by an analogue filter. This results in higher linearity and low noise, or in other words: an extremely accurate signal representation and improved picture quality.

108 MHz/12-bit video D/A converter and VQE7 (DV-757Ai)

You rightly demand best picture quality and realistic images as true as possible to the DVD source. The built-in 108 MHz/12-bit D/A converter responds to those demands. At the same time, Pioneer’s Progressive Scan converter, the VQE7 microchip, means that the DV-757Ai DVD-Audio/Video player offers stunning moving images. This chip is so clever that it chooses the appropriate circuitry to provide the best picture for the home cinephile.

Playback Compatibility (DV-757Ai)

The DV-757Ai DVD-Audio/Video/SACD player allows you to access almost every 12 cm optical disc on the market. Of course it plays CD, VideoCD, CD-R and CD-RW and DVD-Video discs, DVD-RW and DVD-R discs recorded in either “Video” or “Video Recording” mode. But did you know that this multi-skilled player also plays DVD-Audio and Super Audio CD (or SACD for short), revolutionary audio formats which deliver high-quality audio far beyond regular audio CD? So enjoy. Your eyes and ears will know the difference. This is the most format-friendly player around!

DVD-R/RW Playback: DVD-R/RW discs for video, recorded in video recording mode cannot be played back. However it can be played back with DV-757Ai and DV-656A. Unfinalised discs cannot be played back.

i.LINK Advanced Resolution Digital Audio Interface* (DV-757Ai)

The i.LINK interface is also known as IEEE1394 or FireWire. Thanks to the support for high throughput and the existence of industry standard content

protection technology, it is the ideal interface for new, demanding digital environments. This player equipped with i.LINK Advanced Resolution Digital Audio Interface can directly and securely pass the digital content of an audio disc to a compliant amplifier or receiver. Signals passed through the interface include uncompressed formats (e.g. LPCM or DSD), as well as compressed audio formats (e.g. Dolby Digital, DTS, MPEG). Pioneer’s engineers developed the i.LINK Advanced Resolution Digital Audio Interface that delivers this output** free of jitter. The i.LINK interface even goes further, integrating support for device-to-device communication, which enables operation commands to be transferred via the i.LINK connection.

Speaker Management including DVD-Audio Bass Management (DV-757Ai/DV-656A-S/DV-656A-K)

With first generation DVD-Audio players, users risked losing bass when they played DVD-Audio discs over a typical home theatre system with five smaller satellite speakers and a separate subwoofer. Now Pioneer’s DV-757Ai DVD-Audio/Video/SACD player offers Bass Management Processing to overcome bass difficulties. This processing technology includes high-pass filtering of the main speakers, redirection of the bass from the main channels to the subwoofer output – all of which are essential for proper low-frequency performance with any satellite/subwoofer speaker system. Bass Management means the system can low-pass any speaker to the sub and then send the remaining frequencies to the speaker. It is just a matter of telling the DVD-Audio player how many speakers are in use, and what size they are. It is like setting up a Dolby Digital receiver, with the added benefit of an on-screen GUI.

The DV-656A-S/DV-656A-K features a similar speaker Bass Managament, with as main difference that bass redirection from satellite to the subwoofer is limited to the front speaker, only when playing certain types of multi-channel source material.

remarkably pure and faithful to the original. In addition to exceptional sound quality through the DSD system, the SACD format can accommodate more than four times the information of the current CD format. With this extra capacity, a SACD disc provides space for 2-channel stereo data, as well as an area for up to 6-track multi-channel data, and even for text and images. Some SACD titles are hybrid discs, i.e. discs containing one high-density layer and in addition a CD layer; this type of SACD can be played on current CD and DVD players.

A/V AMPLIFIERS & RECEIVERS

THE SECRET OF SOUND SUCCESS

For the finest surround sound experience you need high-quality amplifiers and receivers. Pioneer leads the way in applying the latest technology, so our products are among the best in the world, like the award-winning VSA-AX10 multi-channel stereophonic amplifier. We incorporated Surround EX, DTS-ES Discrete and recently DTS 96/24 technologies to create sound that soars around your ears for a spectacular three-dimensional cinematic ambience. Pioneer was the first to introduce a full-fledged Acoustic Calibration technology (MCACC), in close collaboration with AIR Studios. The new A/V receivers VSX-D2011-S and VSX-D1011-S/K both feature MCACC. We believe in getting the best out of everything. To provide you with excellent surround sound even from non-surround sound sources, all new A/V receivers are equipped with Pro Logic II. Models with 6/7-channel amplification now come with DTS-NEO:6 technology. The DTS 96/24 technology ensures that even with your regular DTS DVD-Video discs, you’ll get the superb sound quality approaching that of DVD-Audio. Sound design has reached new arenas of excellence with these Pioneer A/V amplifiers and receivers.

DTS 96/24 Decoding

Equipped with a 96 kHz/24-bit decoder, Pioneer’s amplifier/receivers reproduce high-quality sound, exactly as recorded on 96 kHz, 24-bit master tapes in the studio. The latest audio format by DTS – the multi-platform DTS 96/24 – is the first compressed surround format technology to support 96 kHz and 24-bit sound resolution and multi-channel capabilities. Backwards compatible with existing DTS decoders, you’ll also be able to enjoy DTS 96/24 discs with receivers incorporating a standard DTS decoder.

True Visionaries: Sir George Martin and AIR Studios

The best sound engineers at one of the best recording studios in the world contributed an unquestionable amount of expertise to Pioneer’s latest revolutionary multi-channel stereophonic amplifier/receivers. AIR Studios founder is Sir George Martin, legendary Beatles producer and Academy Award-nominated composer – one of music’s most versatile and imaginative talents. Established in 1969 in London, AIR Studios is now a state-of-the-art recording complex with matchless facilities for film scoring, rock, pop, classical and orchestral work, postproduction and live events. Many of the world’s most popular and renowned musical talents have worked in this unique and inspirational recording environment.

THX Ultra2 Processing And Certification (VSA-AX10)

What THX Ultra2 means for you is that you’ll enjoy exciting eight channel playback performances from any multi-channel programme over the widest possible seating area. Whereas original THX Ultra was intended for Dolby Pro Logic sources, THX Ultra2 is entirely adapted to recent high-quality digital formats such as DTS and Dolby Digital. A true breakthrough in home entertainment technology, THX Ultra2 ensures optimal multi-channel music and film pleasure. In addition to THX Cinema and THX Surround EX, THX Ultra2 technology includes two new modes featuring THX ASA (Advanced Speaker Array). THX Ultra2 Cinema allows non-Surround EX-encoded, Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS 5.1 material to be played on a seven speaker configuration. For music playback, THX MusicMode can handle all types of music formats, whether it is 5.1 encoded music or high-resolution DVD-Audio and SACD multi-channel music recordings.

170 W x 7 DIN

For the modern age of improving standards in recording and replay technology, Pioneer has developed a new reference standard amplifier for high fidelity sound reproduction in the home: VSA-AX10. Designed for connoisseurs who desire the very best in stereo and multi-channel music replay together with reference-class decoding of both today’s and tomorrow’s movie soundtrack formats, the VSA-AX10 has been designed from the ground up to be a true ‘reference standard’ for all audio and audio/video system applications. Pioneer’s most experienced audio amplifier designers teamed up with engineering experts in sound recording at London’s famous AIR Studios to design an amplifier that was worthy of the task of studio reference monitoring. With sufficient power delivery and transparency to preserve the enormous dynamic range and pure clarity of today’s higher-resolution digital recordings on DVD-Audio and SACD, the VSA-AX10 includes 7.1-channel line inputs and outputs for all requirements. Under the bonnet are 7 channels of power amplification (170 watts per channel) for THX Surround EX and DTS Extended Surround AV systems. And for high-end 5.1-channel systems the VSA-AX10’s seven power amplifiers can be configured for bi-amping a system’s main front left and right channels. State-of-the-art digital signal processors have been employed for decoding 96/24 DTS soundtracks and the VSA-AX10 was the first amplifier in the world to receive THX Ultra2 certification. At Pioneer we describe it as a ‘multi-channel stereophonic’ amplifier. At AIR Studios they call it their ‘monitor reference’. In your home you’ll hear your favourite stereo and multi-channel recordings as the professionals heard it at the mixing desk. The VSA-AX10 amplifier will be your monitor reference standard.

Easy and Precise Set-up with Multi-channel Acoustic Calibration System

Imagine what it would be like to have a professional sound stage in your own home. With MCACC (Multi-Channel Acoustic Calibration System) the dream comes true. It’s a highly advanced yet user-friendly sound field adjustment system, created by Pioneer in collaboration with AIR Studios. Implemented in our latest A/V amplifier and receivers, the MCACC comes with automatic and manual adjustment capability. For calibrating the frequency response of each channel, the VSA-AX10 features a 9-band equaliser, whereas the VSX-D2011-S and VSX-D1011-S/ VSX-D1011-K work with 5 bands.

The speakers’ distance and tone are not uniform before the adjustment. The microphone then determines size and number of speakers, distance from the listener to the speakers, and timbre and tone of speakers. After the adjustment the system is automatically equalised.

For full product features and specifications, please see pages 66 to 68.

Automatic MCACC

The beauty of this system is that you can automatically adjust your home system just like professionals. The MCACC system uses a microphone to monitor the sound environment in the room from the listener’s perspective. It determines the size and number of speakers, distance between the listener and speakers, and the timbre and tone of the speakers. The system then adjusts various sound parameters in each channel, giving the acoustics the perfect tonal nuances for your environment. This result is professional level customised surround sound.

Manual MCACC

The Manual MCACC does not have a microphone to act as a sensor. So, is it back to an all-manual set-up? Not quite. To help you fine-tune the “channel level” and “channel delay”, we’ve given special test tones to each connected speaker, using the front left speaker as the reference. You’ll be delighted with the extremely precise settings achieved. We’ve used a similar approach for the “acoustic calibration”. Using the front speakers as reference, special test tones are employed to adjust the other speakers’ tonality within a range of frequency bands.

Advanced Multi-Channel Stereophonic Philosophy

In the days when we just had stereo, Pioneer went one step further and created “stereophonic”. Now Pioneer is applying the same approach to multichannel environments, with the focus on recreating both the sound and the passion of the original performance. To achieve this it has introduced an Advanced Multi-Channel Stereophonic Philosophy, based on three principles. First, to produce high-quality sounds you need top-level equipment. Next, you can only recreate perfectly precise sounds by calibrating and matching all the equipment in the listening environment. To help you do this we have

The ‘Audio Scaler’ is a 4-layer circuit board that improves the sound quality of stereo input sources (such as CDs or MDs) close to the level of DVD-Audio. Thanks to the built-in 192kHz/ 24-bit DA Converter, the signal can be converted to an analogue signal without losing any of the original recording quality. Hi-Bit conversion first enhances the lowlevel linear PCM signal quality to 24-bits, which results in less deterioration. At the same time, high-sampling enlarges the frequency bandwith, resulting in a very wide sound stage which stays as close as possible to the original sound source. The final result is greatly improved sound quality, not only from stereo sources, but also from multi-channel source material such as Dolby Digital or DTS encoded discs.

This super-slim A/V receiver is designed to match the slimline DV-454 DVD-Video player and S-V40 speaker set. It brings you a variety of listening modes including Natural Mode which creates the best quality surround sound, especially in the combination of the VSX-C100 A/V receiver and the S-V40 speaker set. It supports a variety of surround modes – from mono to 5.1 surround. However elegant and streamlined it looks, this receiver is fully featured and extremely flexible! The front optical digital audio input allows you to easily plug in a game console or a portable DVD-Video player at a moment’s notice.

Assignable Digital Input (VSX-C550-S, VSX-C100-S, VSX-C100-K)

These receiver models have one optical input on the front panel and three inputs on the rear panel: 2 optical (one each for the TV/SATand DVR/VCR) and 1 coaxial digital (for the DVD). But you might find that the DVD-Video player only has an optical output and no coaxial output. The answer is to assign one optical input (the one originally assigned to the TV) to the DVD-Video player instead. The DVD-Video player can then be connected via the optical input.

Pioneer Original Surround Modes (VSX-C550-S, VSX-C100-S, VSX-C100-K)

Pioneer has a wide selection of Original Surround Modes. These Advanced Surround modes include TV Surround, which produces surround sound even for mono or stereo TV sources; Game mode for playing video games; and Phones Surround which reproduces the overall surround sound for headphone listening.

Auto Speaker Configuration

Speaker setting is performed automatically in the VSX-C100-S/VSX-C100-K and VSX-C550-S A/V Receiver. It automatically detects if a centre speaker, rear speakers and a subwoofer are connected. When a subwoofer is detected, the front speakers are set to “small”, and the low frequency signals are sent to the subwoofer. When no subwoofer is connected then the front speakers are set to “large” and they will handle all low frequencies. The connected speakers are indicated on the receiver’s display.

“Pure Vision”

Plasma TV is truly a work of art – the ultimate wall decoration. It’s thin as a framed canvas. And so light, it’s wall-friendly – it hangs quickly and easily with Pioneer’s optional wall brackets, either a fixed flat type or an angled one adjustable up to 25-degrees. You not only use zero floor space, it’s like being at the cinema.

Plasma Design

Consider these Pioneer design advantages. A flat screen so big (50-inch/127 cm and 43-inch/109 cm diagonal) yet so thin (less than 10 cm) and light (38.9 kg/50-inch or

31.5 kg/40-inch) you can hang it, or set it neatly on a stand – your choice. A media receiver brimming with functions yet slim and stylish. And optional slim side-mounted speakers that output sublime sound. You’ll love the lustrous silvery finish. Its quiet operation (there’s no noisy cooling fan). The ideal 16:9 aspect. And how guests sitting even off to the side see spot on, thanks to the 160-degree viewing angle. However you enjoy the “PURE VISION” Pioneer Plasma TV, it’s a perfect fit for any home, every décor. How does Pioneer fill this big, slim screen with such spectacular images? Here’s what you don’t see. Sandwiched between the screen’s glass panels are a million pixels – tiny cells of inert gas plus electrodes. Electric discharges make the gas emit UV light. This excites red, green and blue phosphors. The result: a billion brilliant colours. And immeasurable viewing pleasure.

TECHNOLOGY

MP3 Playback

Most Pioneer DVD players are capable of reading MP3 files recorded onto CD-R or CD-RW discs. Because MP3 files occupy less space on a disc, it is possible to create CDs with up to 10 hours of compressed audio. A typical problem with this feature is navigating through the lengthy track listing. Pioneer has provided a solution – an on-screen navigation display. Since the DVD-Video player is normally connected to the TV, you can conveniently make selections or program the playback by utilising this easy-to-use navigation system while viewing the options on-screen.

Note: Some discs may not be playable due to different recording formats or physical condition of the disc at the time of recording or playback. Please see owner’s manual for futher information.

®f˙PL

Expand your home entertainment experience with the new Home Cinema systems and combinations! Full playback compatibility means that you can play the full range of digital discs: DVD-Video, DVD-RW, DVD-R, CD, VideoCD, CD-R and CD-RW. You will be in awe of material recorded on DVD-RW discs — our systems and combinations can play discs recorded in “Video Mode”. You can even play MP3 files that have been recorded on CD-R and CD-RW discs. All these options, plus amazing sound and supreme image quality, are yours thanks to the full playback compatibility.

Note: DVD players which have this indication can play DVD-RW discs recorded in DVD “Video Recording Mode”, and of course DVD-R and DVD-RW discs recorded in “Video Mode”.

DTS 5.1-channel playback decoding technology has rapidly gained popularity thanks to its dynamic sound impact that flies at the listener from left, right and centre surround speakers. Open up the doors of digital home cinema and super surround sound with any Pioneer DVD-Video player and A/V amplifier/receiver which can handle DTS and DTS-ES encoded digital audio data streams.

DTS/DTS-ES

Full Playback Compatibility

DTS-ES Discrete 6.1

Discrete 6.1 is a true 6.1-channel format, where an additional Surround Back audio channel is discretely encoded into the DTS bitstream offering better spatialisation over the surround channels for complete 360-degree sound localisation and surround panoramas. A data flag tells the decoder that the bitstream contains an extra discrete Surround Back channel. This format is backwards compatible, since DTS 5.1 equipment simply ignores the DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 Surround Back channel.

DTS-ES (Matrix 6.1) Compatibility

DTS Extended Surround Matrix is where the additional Surround Back audio channel is ‘matrixed’ into the rear left and right surround channels in the DTS datastream. A DTS-ES decoder then ‘extracts’ the Surround Back channel that is placed behind you, the listener, and puts you right in the middle of the action.

DTS-NEO:6

The DTS-NEO:6 mode applies conventional 2-channel signals to the high-precision digital matrix decoder and achieves 6.1-channel surround playback. Highprecision input signal detection and matrix processing enable a full band reproduction for all 6.1 channels. It also improves the separation between the different channels to almost the same level as that of a digital discrete system.

DTS- Neo:6 Cinema

The conventional surround formats as it does with 6.1-channel sources.

DTS-NEO:6 Music

With surround signal output from the centre and surround channels, adds a natural sense of expansion to the sound field.

The current surround sound quality decoding standard, Dolby Digital means movie theatre sound performance for your home cinema. You will be wrapped in surround sound by 5.1-channel audio sound compression technology. Depending on the speakers, the front left and right, centre, rear left and right speakers can span frequencies from 20 Hz – 20 kHz and there is a dedicated subwoofer channel for additional low frequency sound effects. Extra features mean not only stunning soundtracks but also additional language tracks on one disc.

mode decodes with an emphasis on separation performance to achieve the same atmosphere with 2-channel sources recorded in

the front channel signals bypass the decoder and are played directly so there is no loss of sound quality. Meanwhile, the effect of the

Dolby Digital EX/THX Surround EX

Dolby Digital EX is a joint development of Dolby Laboratories and the THX division of Lucasfilm Ltd. This phenomenal new technology was first heard in George Lucas’ long awaited “Star Wars: Episode I-The Phantom Menace”. Now applied to home cinema, it decodes a third surround channel from the left and right surround channels of 5.1 soundtracks. There are a total of 6.1 channels – front left and right, surround left and right, centre, surround back, plus subwoofer. This additional surround back channel allows more detailed imaging behind the listener and brings more depth and better sound localisation than ever before.

TECHNOLOGY

Dolby Pro Logic II

Dolby Pro Logic II reproduces multi-channel surround sound from a variety of sound sources, but also from 2-channel sources such as videos and CDs. Pro Logic II uses matrix decoding to put the surround rear channels in stereo and covers the full frequency range during playback, which are drastic improvements over Pro Logic. Thanks to Pro Logic II you can now approach the thrill of 5.1-channel surround sound even from 2-channel sound sources.

New and improved GUI ( Graphical User Interface)

Pioneer’s new GUI (Graphical User Interface) has a resolution of 720 x 576 dots. This provides for high quality menus and allows for a large yet super-sharp font size so you get better legibility and easier use. An easy Disc Navigator with convenient portal structure simplifies complicated operations by way of an interactive interface presentation and supports all types of discs in video mode, DVD/DVD-R/DVD-RW/VideoCD/CD/ CD-R/CD-RW/MP3. The Disc Navigator will guide you through all the necessary steps to operate by asking simple questions.

Pioneer Original Surround Modes

Our A/V receivers offer a wide range of pre-defined easy-to-use Original Surround modes, including 5/6-Channel Stereo, Expanded, Virtual Surround Back, Phones Surround, Game and TV Surround mode. The 5/6-Channel Stereo simulates the acoustic environment of a regular stereo while using all the speakers in the system to create rich Original Surround sound modes. The 6-Channel Stereo Mode is in effect when Surround Back speakers are switched on. If these speakers are not available, you will have 5-Channel Stereo Mode. For multimedia lovers, the Advanced Theatre function enhances the sound field based on the type of movie you are watching. Music Mode creates a 360-degree sound field around the viewer, creating the sensation of an acoustically perfect theatre. It is ideal for music videos and musicals. Drama and Movie Mode create the acoustics of a medium-sized cinema and heighten your sense of reality. For action movie lovers, Action Mode engulfs you in a wall of sound so you can enjoy all the power and speed. For users with only 2 front speakers, Pioneer offers Virtual Surround Mode for channel separation that leads to a surround sound feeling. The Expanded Theatre Mode lets you enjoy Dolby Pro Logic Sources (videotapes, satellite broadcasts, etc.) as if they were the latest in 5.1 or 7.1-channel digital programs. The surround effect is so superb that you might consider giving up concerts!

Listening Modes

Pioneer also offers a selection of Listening modes, like Midnight Listening Mode, Quiet Mode, Natural and Bright. To get the most out of home cinema at low volume turn to the excellent Midnight Listening Mode. It adjusts subwoofer, rear and centre speaker levels, while enhancing delay and compressing dynamic range, for greater enjoyment of cinema-like sound at low volume. If you feel the sound is too harsh or too sharp, Quiet Mode reduces the bass and treble in the signal to smooth the sound. Or, if you want the full strength of bass, the S Bass Mode delivers a powerful performance. And to top it off, we now introduce two new listening modes, Natural and Bright, for an even better sound experience.

Virtual Surround Back

Surround sound becomes even more impressive. With virtual surround back 6.1 the left and right rear satellite speakers create a phantom sound source behind the listener, as if there were a speaker. Experience 6.1 surround sound from a 5.1 speaker set-up.

Expanded Theatre

Expanded Theatre broadens the soundstage and dramatically enhances surround effects when listening to Dolby Pro Logic or stereo sources. If you use it when viewing a restaurant scene, you might just be able to eavesdrop on the conversations going on outside of the main action or the subtle banging of pots and pans in the kitchen. This mode also enhances DTS and Dolby Digital-encoded signals, for amazing surround sound.
