only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your product dealer or local power company.

LOCATION – The appliance should be installed in a

stable location.

NONUSE PERIODS – The power cord of the appliance

should be unplugged from the outlet when left unused for a long period of time.

GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION

÷ If this product is equipped with a polarized alternating

current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other), it will fit into the outlet 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 power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding type plug.

POWER-CORD PROTECTION — Power-supply cords

should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the product.

OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING — If an outside

antenna or cable system is connected to the product, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with regard to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode. See Figure A.

LIGHTNING — For added protection for this product

during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the product due to lightning and power-line surges.

POWER LINES — An outside antenna system should

not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.

OVERLOADING — Do not overload wall outlets,

extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

■ About disc composition

CD and Video CD discs are divided into units referred to as tracks. (Generally, 1 song corresponds to 1 track. Additionally, some tracks are divided into units referred to as indexes.)

Track 1 Track 2 Track 3 Track 4 Track 5

Track 1 Track 2 Track 3 Track 4

VIDEO CD

DVD discs are divided into units referred to as titles, and these titles are divided into chapters. Additionally, menu screens do not belong to any title. Usually for movies etc., 1 movie corresponds to one title. On Karaoke discs, 1 song has 1 title. It is not uncommon, however, for discs to have a unique title division, and it should be noted that search and program modes may be affected in these cases.

■About disc operation

On some DVD discs, operation methods may change or specific operations may be prohibited according to the intentions of the disc’s manufacturer. Because of this, operation methods may differ depending on the disc, or some specific functions may not be operable. When operation of a function prohibited by the disc is attempted on a PIONEER DVD player, a prohibited mark will be displayed on the screen. Additionally, on discs where interactive operation is possible through menu operation or through operation during playback, because discs are not completely continuous, but rather divided into sections, some operation for functions such as repeat or programming etc., may not be possible. On PIONEER DVD players, a prohibited mark will be displayed on the screen in these instances.

Disc Types Compatible with This Unit

See What You Can Do

DVD, VideoCD (PBC compatible) and CD discs can be played back on PIONEER DVD players

Compatible with a wide range of DVD audio output

DVD discs are recorded in one of the following 4 types of digital audio formats (as of July 1998). The digital audio output jacks of this player output any of the following digital audio signals.

• DOLBY DIGITAL* Surround system for theaters. By connecting this unit to a Dolby Digital decoder or an AV amplifier with a built-in Dolby Digital decoder, DVD discs recorded in Dolby Digital audio can be played back in Dolby Digital surround sound.

• DTS** Surround standard different from Dolby Digital. This format is already in use in many theaters. By connecting this unit to a DTS decoder or an AV amplifier with a built-in DTS decoder, the DTS audio of DVD discs recorded in this format can be enjoyed.

• MPEG By connecting this unit to an MPEG decoder or an AV amplifier with a built-in MPEG decoder, the MPEG audio of DVD discs recorded in this format can be enjoyed.

• Linear PCM Same digital audio format as on CDs. Digital audio can be enjoyed by connecting this unit to an amplifier with a built-in D/A converter. Additionally, 2 channel analog audio is output from the audio output jacks.

However, audio will not be output from the analog audio output jacks.

This player has a conversion function for converting Dolby Digital and MPEG audio into the Linear PCM format. This allows playback of CDs with the regular playback system without the need for a special convertor.

3-dimensional audio with 2 front speakers (page 38)

Setting the Virtual Dolby Surround mode to "VDD" or "VDS" creates a 3-dimensional sound without the need for surround speakers.

Frequencies above 20KHz will be reproduced with master like quality as natural wave forms (Legato Link conversion)

Legato Link conversion estimates recording signals according to the original I/f attenuation characteristic in order to reproduce frequency component of signals that are not recorded in the frequency band of the format (above 20kHz). Wave form sound very close to the original is created for audio reproduction.

Operation while viewing menu screens (GUI: Graphical User Interface) (page 30)

DVDs come recorded with their own original menus. These menus are operated with the direction buttons. With the PIONEER player, the player’s menus can be used for operation even with discs that have not been recorded with menus.
