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

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 distortion.

Once you have established a comfortable sound
level:

• Set the dial and leave it there.

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

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.

Before Operating (Features)

Features

This player has been designed to provide CD/DVD playback fea­tures and functions demanded by professional disco club DJs
and VJs. It is a professional DVD player equipped with opera­tional ease, sound quality, and functions superior to those found
on the professional analog players conventionally used by DJs.

JOG DIAL

HOT CUE

Up to 3 hot cue points (A, B, C) can be recorded in advance and
called up later for instant playback from those points. Hot cues
can be used not only to record normal cue points, but also for
loop point playback.

Large-diameter (206 mm) dial for operating sensitivity ex­ceeding that possible with conventional analog turntables

¶ PITCH BEND

Changes playback pitch in proportion to the direction and speed
of jog dial rotation.

¶ SCRATCH PLAY

In VINYL mode, when the top surface of the jog dial is touched,
playback stops and starts in response to the direction and speed
of jog dial rotation. The user can also adjust the sensitivity of
start-up when the jog dial is touched and released, making pos­sible new DJ techniques.

¶ FRAME SEARCH

When the jog dial is rotated during pause, the pause position is
changed in units of individual frames (1/75th second).

¶ SUPER FAST SEARCH

When the jog dial is rotated while depressing the manual search
button, track search button or title search button, the search will
be performed more quickly than the conventional search or track
search (or title/chapter search) functions.

¶ HYPER JOG MODE

In VINYL mode, when the jog dial is rotated, the amount of sound
or image change corresponding to the dial rotation doubles. Per­formance possibilities are enhanced by employing this function
together with the ordinary mode.

ON JOG DISPLAY

The center of the jog dial is furnished with a display providing
variety of information, including disc status, cue point position,
audio/video memory status, jog touch detect display, and VINYL
mode.

REVERSE PLAY

By pulling the DIRECTION select switch toward the front (REV
position), tracks can be played in reverse.

TEMPO CONTROL

High-performance 100mm slider for precise adjustment of
track speed

Using a digital display with 0.02% increments (within control
range ±6%), the user can accurately match the tempos of play­back tracks.

¶ TEMPO CONTROL RANGE

Four tempo control ranges are provided: ±6%, ±10%, ±16%,
and WIDE.

¶ TEMPO CONTROL RESET

This control allows tempo to be reset to the default 0% status
instantly, regardless of the slider position.

¶ MASTER TEMPO

Allows pitch to be maintained while changing track speed.

CUE

¶ BACK CUE

By previously recording a cue point, it can be returned to instantly
by pressing the CUE button during subsequent playback, thus
starting playback again from that point.

¶ AUTO CUE

This function cues a track by skipping the non-recorded portion
before the beginning of music, setting the player to standby mode
immediately before music begins. In this way, playback can be­gin instantly when the PLAY/PAUSE (6) button is pressed.

WAVE DISPLAY

With an analog record, the user could look for the breaks in the
grooves to use as mix points and end points. In the same way,
the WAVE display reveals track breaks in advance, allowing the
DJ to use them as break points.

CUE/LOOP MEMORY

Cue points and loop points can be recorded for each disc on the
external SD memory cards, and called up later as desired.

6

¶ CUE POINT SAMPLER

This function allows one-touch playback from the cue points
stored in memory, a convenient function for confirming cue points
and sampling the points stored.

REAL TIME SEAMLESS LOOP

Allows simple setting and canceling of playback loops. Loops
can be set quickly during track playback; also allows quick set­ting of a loop immediately before the end of a track, thus pre­venting the track from ending. Finally, an ADJUST mode has been
added to allow one-touch changing of loop-out points.

Before Operating (Features)

RELOOP

Once set, a loop can be returned to any number of times

After canceling loop play, pressing the RELOOP/EXIT button
causes playback to return and begin again from the previously
set loop. Turning the function ON/OFF in time with the track’s
rhythm allows a variety of new performance possibilities.

EMERGENCY LOOP

Pressing the EMERGENCY LOOP button causes the current posi­tion (the point where the button was pressed) to act as a loop-in
point, with a loop-out point being set automatically for loop play.

PLAYING ADDRESS

With an analog record, the position of the stylus gives the opera­tor an immediate grasp of the progress of playback. In the same
way, the play address display shows a bar graph that provides
an immediate visual grasp of the track’s playback progress. The
current position in the track is indicated by the length of the bar;
in addition, the bar flashes to warn that playback is approaching
the end of the track.

LEGATO PRO

The player is equipped with a digital filter that uses up-sampling
technology (DVD: 48 kHz \ 192 kHz; CD: 44.1 kHz \ 176.4 kHz)
for reproducing audio information lost in some disc (DVD, CD) for­mats.

HI-BIT

This function extends the bit length of audio data. By transform­ing 16-bit or 20-bit data to 24-bits, even minute signals can be
reproduced with smooth, finely defined sound.

About DVD playback in DJ mode

Since various special operations are supported in DJ mode,
certain limitations are placed on normal playback functions
such as SCAN. For this reason, operations which are possi­ble in the NORMAL mode may be limited or disabled when
attempted in DJ mode. In short, if you wish to use all ordi­nary DVD play functions, use the NORMAL mode.

FADER START

When the player is connected to a DJ mixer (DJM-600, DJM­300, DJM-909, DJM-707, DJM-500 or DJM-3000 (all sold sepa­rately)), the mixer’s fader operation can be used to perform quick
start and back cue.

MULTI READ

Discs readable on this player include CD-R/CD-RW (recorded in
audio CD format), and DVD-R/DVD-RW (recorded in video for­mat). However, since this player uses high-speed data read for
the purposes of its DJ operations, some discs may not play back
properly depending on the characteristics of the disc and the
recorder, as well as a result of dirt or scratches on the disc, etc.

PREVIEW MONITOR OUTPUT

This is an auxiliary video output that produces an overlay display
of operating information on the main video output screen, and
provides the DJ with a visual aids when operating the unit. Dur­ing use of DVD play, cue points, loop points, and hot cue points
are displayed on a small screen overlain on the main output,
making possible interactive DJ operations.

Limited or disabled functions (when in DJ mode)

¶ Cannot play sub-pictures (can’t display subtitles or

onscreen buttons)

¶ Cannot use password input command (when using inter-

active commands, the same operations may not produce
the same results as when in NORMAL mode).

¶ May only play midway through titles.
¶ May skip certain parts of titles.
¶ Playback may be temporarily interrupted when switching

audio functions.

¶ Playback may be temporarily interrupted when changing

viewing angle.

¶ Cannot use pan-and-scan function.
¶ The title itself may disallow use of DJ operations. In this

case, DJ operations are prohibited, and the same opera­tions are performed as when in NORMAL mode.

PROGRESSIVE OUTPUT

This player is equipped with a progressive scan output connec­tor which supports video signals with 525p frequency (compo­nent output connector). When connected to a television monitor
equipped with a component video input connector for progres­sive scan (525p), high definition images will be output, with
twice the data produced by conventional interlaced scan televi­sions.

Handling Precautions

Installation location

¶ Placing and using the player for long periods on heat-generat-

ing sources such as amplifiers or near spotlights, etc. will af­fect product performance. Avoid placing the player on heat­generating sources.

¶ Install this player as far as possible away from tuners and TV

sets. The player installed in close proximity to such equip­ment may cause noise or degradation of the picture.
Noise may be noticeable when an indoor antenna is used. In
such cases, make use of an outdoor antenna or turn off power
to the player.

¶ When the unit is used in a loud-sound environment, e.g., near

a speaker, sound skip may occur. Install the unit away from
the speaker or reduce the listening volume.

¶ Place this unit on a level surface and a stable platform.

Take adequate note of the following precautions when pre­paring a place for installation:

Be sure the player, including its video, audio and power supply
cords, does not touch vibrating materials. Any vibration other
than that transmitted through the insulators may cause the disc
to skip. Take special care when using the player while it is in­stalled in a carrying case.

Do not place on or
against vibrating
materials!

About the carrying case

The upper surface of the jog dial is equipped with a touch-sensi­tive switch. When placing the player in its carrying case, avoid
placing any pressure on the jog dial.

Condensation

When this unit is brought into a warm room from previously cold
surroundings or when the room temperature rises sharply, con­densation may form inside the unit and impair its performance.
In such cases, allow the unit to stand for about an hour or raise
the room temperature gradually.

Cleaning the player

To clean the player wipe with a polishing or a soft, dry cloth. For
stubborn dirt, moisten a soft cloth with a weak solution of neu­tral detergent (diluted in five to six parts water), wring the cloth
well, and wipe away the dirt. Use a dry cloth to wipe the surface
dry. Do not use volatile liquids such as benzene or thinner which
will damage the unit.

About the lens cleaner

The player's pickup lens should not become dirty in normal use.
If for some reason, the lens becomes soiled and malfunctions,
contact your nearest PIONEER authorized service center. Lens
cleaners for DVD (CD) players are commercially available, but
special care should be exercised in their use as some may cause
damage to the lens.

Before Operating (Discs Usable with This Unit)

DVD operating limitations

Some DVDs are designed explicitly to prevent the use of certain
operations or to prevent changing operation methods. As a re­sult, the methods used to operate each disc may vary, and some
techniques may not be usable with certain discs. In the event
that a prohibited technique is attempted with a disc on this player,
the display will show the disc operation prohibited mark
certain other operations may not be supported on discs that sup­port menus or dialogue-type operations during playback. In such
cases, the player operation prohibited mark

will be displayed.

Disc composition

Digital Versatile Discs (DVD)

DVD video, DVD-R or DVD-RW discs are recorded in units called
“titles,” with each title being divided into one or more sub-divi­sions called “chapters.” Further, some, discs are furnished with
menus for navigating the disc, but menus may not be included
with all titles. In the case of commercial films, a single movie
normally corresponds to a single title. On so-called “karaoke”
discs, each song track composes a single title, although there
are some exceptions to this rule, so care is needed when using
search functions.

Title 1 Title 2

Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 1 Chapter 2

DVD/DVD-R/DVD-RW

Compact Discs (CD)

In the case of compact discs, each disc is divided into units of
individual tracks (normally, each song is contained on a single
track). In addition, tracks may have sub-divisions called index
numbers.

Handling discs

■ When holding discs, do not touch their signal surfaces. Hold

by the edges, or by one edge and the center hole.

■ Do not affix gummed labels or tape to the disc surface. Also,

do not scratch or damage the label.

■ Discs rotate at high speeds inside the player. Do not use dam-

aged, cracked or warped discs.

■ Do not play a disc with a special shape

¶ Do not play a disc having other shape than a circular disc,

such as heart shaped disc. Otherwise malfunction may occur.

■ Storing discs

¶ Discs are made of the same kinds of plastic used for con-

ventional analog audio records. Be careful not to allow discs
to warp. Always store discs in their cases vertically, avoiding
locations with high heat, humidity, or extremely low tem­peratures. Avoid leaving discs in cars; the interior of a car in
direct sunlight can become extremely hot.

¶ Always read and abide by the precautionary notes listed on

disc labels.

■ Cleaning discs

¶ Always keep your discs clean by wiping them gently with a

soft cloth from the inner edge toward the outer edge.

¶ When cleaning discs, the use of a commercial CD/DVD clean-

ing kit is recommended.

Track 1 Track 2 Track 3 Track 4 Track 5

CD

10

¶ If a disc becomes very dirty, dampen a soft cloth with water,

(be sure to wring it out well) and wipe the away dirt gently.
Remove any water drops with another soft, dry cloth.

¶ Do not use record cleaning sprays or anti-static agents on discs.

Never clean discs with benzene, thinner, or other volatile sol­vents or damage to the disc surface may result.
