regional culture, theater, etc. SCIENCE – Science and technology VARIED – Usually talkbased material, such as quiz shows or interviews.

POP M – Pop music ROCK M – Rock music EASY M – Easy listening LIGHT M – ‘Light’ classical

music CLASSICS – ‘Serious’ classical music OTHER M – Music not fitting above categories WEATHER – Weather reports

FINANCE – Stock market reports, commerce, trading, etc. CHILDREN – Programs for children

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 NATION M – Popular

music in a language other than English OLDIES – Popular music from the ’50s and ’60s

Audio DRC

When watching Dolby Digital DVDs at low volume, it’s easy to lose the quieter sounds completely — including some of the dialog. Switching Audio DRC (Dynamic Range Control) to on can help by bringing up the quieter sounds, while controlling loud peaks.

How much of a difference you hear depends on the material you’re listening to. If the material doesn’t have wide variations in volume, you

may not notice much change.

About DivX® VOD content

In order to play DivX VOD (video on demand) content on this player, you first need to register the player with your DivX VOD content provider. You do this by generating a DivX VOD registration code, which you submit to your

provider.

Important

• DivX VOD content is protected by a DRM (Digital Rights Management) system. This restricts playback of content to specific, registered devices.

• If you load a disc that contains DivX VOD content not authorized for your player, the message Authorization Error is displayed and the content will not play.

Playing DivX® VOD content

Some DivX VOD content may only be playable a fixed number of times. When you load a disc containing this type of DivX VOD content, the remaining number of plays is shown on-screen and you then have the option of playing the disc (thereby using up one of the remaining plays), or stopping. If you load a disc that contains expired DivX VOD content (for example, content that has zero remaining plays), the message Rental Expired is displayed.

If your DivX VOD content allows an unlimited number of plays, then you may load the disc into your player and play the content as often as you like, and no message will be displayed.

Note

1 Resetting the player (as described in Resetting the system on page 44) will not cause you to lose your registration code.

Connecting using HDMI

If you have a HDMI or DVI (with HDCP) equipped monitor or display, you can connect it to this player using a commercially available

HDMI cable for high quality digital video. See About HDMI below for more about the

HDMI connection.

Note

1 • When the line out mode is on, most sound features cannot be used. The display will briefly blink LINE ON if you try and use a prohibited function while the line out mode is on.

• The line out mode switches off if you change the input function (DVD/CD, TUNER, etc.) or switch the power off.

• This option is not effective when listening a source from LINE2.

2 • An HDMI connection can only be made with DVI-equipped components compatible with both DVI and High Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP). If you choose to connect to a DVI connector, you will need a separate adaptor (DVIHDMI) to do so. A DVI connection, however, does not support audio signals. Consult your local audio dealer for more information.

• Depending on the component you have connected, using a DVI connection may result in unreliable signal transfers.

• When you change the component connected to the HDMI output, you will also need to change the HDMI settings to match

the new component (see Video Output settings on page 27 to do this).

About HDMI

HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) supports both video and audio on a single digital connection for use with DVD players, DTV, set-top boxes, and other AV devices. HDMI was developed to provide the technologies of High Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) as well as Digital Visual Interface (DVI) in one specification. HDCP is used to protect digital content transmitted and received by DVI-compliant displays.

HDMI has the capability to support standard, enhanced, or high-definition video plus standard to multichannel surround-sound audio. HDMI features include uncompressed digital video, a bandwidth of up to 2.2 gigabytes per second (with HDTV signals), one connector (instead of several cables and connectors), and communication between the AV source and AV devices such as DTVs.

About control out connections

Many Pioneer components support SR CONTROL connections, by which you can use the remote controls of any connected components by aiming them at the sensor of just one component. When you use a remote control, the control signal is passed along the chain to the appropriate component. This can be useful when you have multiple components contained inside an entertainment center.

If you use this feature, you must make sure that also have at least one set of analog audio jacks connected to another component for grounding purposes.

• Using a cable with mono mini-plugs on either side (sold separately), connect the CONTROL IN jack on another Pioneer component to the CONTROL OUT jack on this unit.

This will allow you to control the other component by pointing its remote at this unit.

Using and taking care of discs

Handling discs

Hold the disc by its edges when handling so as not to leave fingerprints, dirt or scratches on either side of the disc. Damaged or dirty discs can affect playback performance.

If a disc becomes marked with fingerprints, dust, etc., clean using a soft, dry cloth.

Wipe lightly from the center of the disc using straight strokes. Don’t wipe the disc surface with 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 such as those designed for cleaning vinyl records.

Storing discs

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.

Discs to avoid

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

This unit is designed for use with conventional, fully circular discs only. Pioneer disclaims all liability arising in connection with the use of shaped discs.

Installation and maintenance

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 location:

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.

 Place on a window sill or other place where the

system will be exposed to direct sunlight.

 Use in an excessively dusty or damp

environment.

 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 unit.

 Place on an unstable surface, or one that is not

large enough to support all four of the system unit’s feet.

Cleaning 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 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 performance. Leave it to adjust to the warmer temperature for about an hour before switching on.

Moving the system unit

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 high speeds and may damage.

Screen sizes and disc formats

DVD-Video discs come in 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.

Note

1 Unplugging the unit before GOOD BYE disappears from the display may cause the system to return to the factory settings. 2 Many widescreen discs override the system’s settings so that the disc is shown in letterbox format regardless of the setting.

Page 40

Additional information10

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

Set to 4:3 (Letter Box), widescreen discs are shown with black bars top and bottom.

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.

TV system setting

The default setting of this system is AUTO, and unless you notice that the picture is distorted when playing some discs, you should leave it set to AUTO. If you find picture distortion with some discs, set the TV system to match your country or region’s system. However, this may restrict the kinds of disc you can watch. See the table for the kinds of discs compatible with

each setting (AUTO, PAL and NTSC).

Note

1• Using the 16:9 (Wide) setting with a standard 4:3 TV, or one of the 4:3 settings with a widescreen TV, will result in distortion.

• 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.

• Some movie aspect ratios are wider than 16:9, so even with a widescreen TV, these discs will still play in a ‘letterbox’ style. 2 Most models of the newly developed countdown PAL TV system detect 50 Hz (PAL)/60 Hz (NTSC) and automatically switch vertical amplitude, resulting in a display without vertical shrinkage. However, in some cases, the image may appear without color. If your PAL TV does not have a V-Hold control, you may not be able to watch NTSC discs because of picture roll. If the TV has a V-Hold control, adjust it until the picture stops rolling. On some TVs, the picture may shrink vertically, leaving black bands at the top and bottom of the screen. 3 You have to switch the player into standby (press  STANDBY/ON) before each change.
