1 Before You Start

Hints on installation

We want you to enjoy using this unit for years to come, so please bear in mind the following points when choosing a suitable location for it:

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 unit.

✗ Place on an unstable surface, or one that is not large enough

to support all four of the unit’s feet.

Discs compatible with this system

Any disc that displays one of the following logos should play in this system. Other formats, including DVD-RAM, DVDROM, DVD-Audio, CD-ROM, SACD and Photo CD will not play.

Single or double sided / Single or double layer. Dolby Digital, DTS, MPEG or Linear PCM digital audio. MPEG-2 digital video.

Discs are generally divided into one or more ‘titles’. Titles are further subdivided into ‘chapters’.

Single sided / Single layer. 12 cm or 8cm (5" or 3") discs.

Linear PCM digital audio. (Also compatible with finalized CDRecordable discs.)

Discs are divided into ‘tracks’.

This system can play CD-R and CD-RW discs recorded with audio. However, depending on the quality of the initial recording, and the condition of the disc, you may find that not all discs will play successfully. (For example, if the disc is scratched or dirty, or if the player’s pickup lens is dirty.) Some CD-R and CD-RW discs may need to be finalized* before playing successfully.

* Check with the instruction manual of the recording

component used to make the CD-R or CD-RW disc for finalization procedures.

Avoiding problems with condensation

Condensation may form inside the system 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 system, it may temporarily impair its performance. For this reason you should leave it to adjust to the warmer temperature for about an hour before switching on and using.

Single sided / Single layer. 12 cm or 8cm (5" or 3") discs.

MPEG-1 digital audio. MPEG-1 digital video. Discs are divided into ‘tracks’.

DVD Video regions

ALL

Moving the system

If you need to move the system, first switch it off and unplug from the wall outlet. Never lift or move the unit during playback—discs rotate at a high speed and may be damaged.

All DVD Video discs carry a region mark on the case somewhere that indicates which region(s) of the world the disc is compatible with. Your DVD system also has a region mark, which you can find on the rear panel. Discs from incompatible regions will not play in this system. Discs marked ALL will play in any player.

5 Press ENTER.

Page 11

3 Getting Started

Setting up for surround sound

You can use this system right out of the box for surround sound with just the default settings. However, for really great surround sound, we recommend that you spend a few minutes making some settings that match this system to your listening room. These include setting the distances from your listening position to your speakers, and balancing the speaker volumes. Unless you change the layout of your speakers or main listening position, you only need to make these settings once.

Setting the speaker distances

1 Press SYS, then SETUP.

This puts the remote into surround setup mode.

2 Press the @ or # button until

you see FRONT in the display.

3 Use the % and ﬁ buttons to set

the distance from your main listening position to the front speakers.

Ideally, your listening position should be equidistant from the two front speakers.

The default setting is 3m. You can adjust the range from 0.3m to 9.0m in steps of

0.3m.

4 Press # to move on to the

CENTER speaker setting.

5 Use the % and ﬁ buttons to set

the distance from your main listening position to the center speaker.

The default setting is 3m. You can adjust the range from 0.3m to 9.0m in steps of

0.3m.

7 Use the % and ﬁ buttons to set

the distance from your main listening position to the surround speakers.

Ideally, your listening position should be equidistant from the surround speakers.

The default setting is 3m. You can adjust the range from 0.3m to 9.0m in steps of

0.3m.

8 Press ENTER to make the last

setting and exit.

• The setting mode is automatically exited if no operation is performed within 20 seconds.

• There are several other settings that you can make from the System Setup menu to further tailor your surround sound. See chapter 10 for more on this.

• The speaker distance settings have no effect when the Dolby/DTS mode is set to VIRTUAL SURR1 or VIRTUAL SURR2. See page 21 for more on Dolby/DTS modes.

6 Press # to move on to the

SURROUND speakers setting.

Page 12

3 Getting Started

Balancing the surround sound

You can further improve surround sound performance by balancing the levels from the subwoofer, center and surround speakers relative to the front left/right speakers. To help you judge the sound level of each speaker a test tone is played through each speaker in turn (make sure that there are no headphones connected). Adjust the levels until they all sound equal.

The levels you set here will apply to all Dolby/DTS modes. However, you can set levels independently for each DSP mode.

Note: it may not be possible to accurately adjust the subwoofer level using this method. You may prefer to leave it on its default setting and adjust it to your liking later when playing surround-sound sources.

1 Press SYS then 2/DTS.

The Dolby/DTS mode can be set to any-thing except SURROUND OFF. (No test tone is output if the Dolby/DTS mode is set to SURROUND OFF.)

2 Set the volume to a moderate level.

3 Press TEST TONE to start the test tone then adjust the master

volume to a suitable level.

The test tone plays through each speaker in turn:

• Front left

• Center

• Front right

• Surround right

• Surround left

• Subwoofer

4 Use the % and ﬁ buttons to adjust the level of a speaker as the

test tone plays.

For best results, sit in your main listening position when doing this. You can adjust each speaker in the range of +/-10dB.

5 When you're done, press TEST TONE to turn off the test tone.

4 Shaping the Sound

Adjusting the bass and treble

The simplest way to shape the sound is by adjusting the amount of bass and treble.

Note: The bass and treble controls have no effect when using the DSP modes, or when the Dolby/DTS mode is set to anything other than AUTO, STANDARD or SURROUND

OFF

1 Press SYS then SOUND

• Press SYS then P.BASS to switch P.BASS on or off.

Page 21

Using sound modes

The sound modes allow you to add various room-type sound effects to your DVDs, CDs and other sources. These effects process the sound in various ways to simulate different spaces such as a theater, or concert hall.

For Dolby Surround, Dolby Digital or DTS surround sources, such as DVDs, use the Advanced Theater effects to add room effects to the sound; for stereo-only sources, such as audio CDs, use the DSP modes. As well as choosing between effects, you can also adjust how strong the effect sounds. Often, a more subtle effect level enhances the sound better than turning it right up. Experiment to see what works best for you.

Listening to surroundsound sources with room effects

Effects modes

Switch on the Dolby/DTS mode when you play a Dolby Surround, Dolby Digital or DTS encoded source.

• Auto – For digital sources, decoding is automatically selected according to the source: Dolby Digital, DTS, Dolby Pro Logic, 2-channel stereo, etc. No extra effects are added to the source. Analog sources are played in the same way as the Surround Off setting.

• Standard – As Auto, except that 2channel (analog or digital) sources are processed using Dolby Pro Logic for surround-sound effects.

• Musical – Concert hall sound.

• Drama – Classic, mid-size movie theater sound.

• Action – Large, modern movie theater sound.

• Virtual Surround 1 – Virtual surround sound from just the main front stereo speakers and a subwoofer. Use this mode if you can't use the surround speakers.

4 Shaping the Sound

• Virtual Surround 2 – Virtual surround sound if you have connected the surround speakers, but are using them in front of the listening position.

• Rear Wide – Widens the rear channel soundstage.

• Surround Off – All sources are played through only the front left and right speakers, and the subwoofer. No effects are added.

Note: The Dolby/DTS mode cannnot be used with 96kHz/24-bit sources, or in combination with DSP effects.

1 Press SYS then 2/DTS to

select a sound mode.

Each press changes the mode as follows:

• AUTO

• STANDARD (surround on, with no Advanced Theater effect)

• VIRTUAL SURR.1

• VIRTUAL SURR.2

• REAR WIDE

• SURROUND OFF (surround off)

To adjust the effect level when using one of the Advanced Theater effects:

1 Press SYS then SOUND CON-

TROL.

2 Use the % and ﬁ buttons to

adjust the effect level.

You can adjust the effect level in the range of 10 to 90.

Page 22

4 Shaping the Sound

Listening to other sources with room effects

You can add room effects to audio CDs and other stereo sources using the DSP modes. Different effects work better with different kinds of music, so don’t be afraid to experiment a little.

There are seven DSP effects to choose from:

• Hall 1 – Large, wood-paneled concert hall sound.

• Hall 2 – Large, stone-walled concert hall sound.

• Jazz – Live jazz club sound.

• Dance – Nightclub sound.

• Theater 1 – Classic, mid-size movie theater sound.

• Theater 2 – Large, modern movie theater sound.

• Simulated Stereo – Virtual stereo for mono sources.

Notes

• The DSP effects cannnot be used with 96kHz/24-bit sources, or in combination with the Dolby/DTS mode.

• When playing stereo sources with DSP effects switched off, there is no sound from the surround and center speakers.

1 Press SYS then DSP to select a

sound mode.

Each press changes the mode as follows:

• HALL 1

• HALL 2

• JAZZ

• DANCE

• THEATER 1

• THEATER 2

• SIMULATED STEREO

• DSP OFF (no effects added)

Listening at low volume

When the volume is low, surround effects tend to become less than satisfactory. Turn the Midnight listening mode on to enjoy quality surround sound even at low volumes.

• Press SYS then MIDNIGHT to switch Midnight listening mode on/off.

Adjusting channel volume levels

Depending on your room and where you’re sitting, you may want to adjust the relative volumes of one or more speakers for a more balanced sound. You can do this in any mode, including the Dolby Digital/ DTS, DSP, and stereo modes. Settings that you make in any sound mode are completely independent and don’t affect any other mode.

Notes

• Each DSP effect has its own set of

channel level settings.

• The channel levels you set for the

Dolby/DTS mode apply to all Advanced Theater effects.

• The headphone level is not affected by

the channel level settings.

1 Press SYS then CH SELECT.

Adjustments to the channel volume levels will affect only the current sound mode.

2 Use the @ and # buttons to

select a channel to adjust.

The display shows the channel and its current setting.

• Remember that not all channels are

available in all sound modes.

To adjust the effect level when using one of the DSP effects:

1 Press SYS then SOUND CON-

TROL.

2 Use the % and ﬁ buttons to

adjust the effect level.

You can adjust the effect level in the range of 10 to 90.

3 Use the % and ﬁ buttons to

Bookmarking a place in a disc

(DVD/Video CD)

If you watch only part of a DVD disc with the intention of picking up later where you left off, you can bookmark the place then resume playback at a later date without having to manually search for the right place.

You can use this feature for up to five discs (after that the oldest bookmark is deleted to make space for a new one).

• At the point from which you want to resume playback next time, press LAST MEMORY, then stop the disc (7).

• To resume playback, load the disc and press LAST MEMORY. (If the disc started auto playback, stop it first.)

• To clear the last memo position of the disc loaded, press LAST MEMORY then C (Clear) while Last Memory is displayed onscreen.

Note: Bookmarking also works with Video CD, but for one disc only, and you must

leave the disc in the system—opening the disc tray erases the memory. Last Memory may not work reliably with some PBC Video CDs.

Memorizing disc settings (DVD only)

If you have a particular set of preferences for a disc, you can memorize them using the Condition Memory function. Once memorized, your settings will be recalled automatically whenever you load that disc. The system can store settings for 15 discs; after this, memorizing another replaces the oldest one stored.

The settings memorized are:

• On Screen Display (page 34)

• Subtitle language (page 37)

• Audio language (page 36)

• Video quality (page 35)

• Angle indicator (page 35)

• Parental lock level (page 39)

• To memorize settings for the current disc, press SHIFT then CONDITION during playback.

• To recall memorized settings, just load the disc.

The display shows COND_MEMORY and Condition Memory appears on-screen.

• To clear memorized settings, load the disc and press C (Clear) while Condition Memory is displayed on-screen.

Saving station presets

If you often listen to a particular radio station, it's convenient to have the receiver store the frequency for easy recall whenever you want to listen to that station. This saves the effort of manually tuning in each time. This system can save up to 30 station presets. When saving FM frequencies, the receiver also saves the mono setting (see page 18).

1 Tune to a station you want to memorize.

See Listening to the radio on page 18 for more on how to do this.

2 Press STATION MEMORY.

3 Press ST+ or ST– to select a station preset number.

Alternatively, use the number buttons (use the >10 button for numbers over 10). If you use the number buttons, you can skip step 4.

4 Press STATION MEMORY again to save the station preset.

Repeat these steps to save up to 30 station presets.

Listening to station presets

Having saved up to 30 station presets (see above for how to do this), you can be listening to a station with a couple of button presses.

1 Press TUN to switch to the tuner.

2 Use ST+ or ST– to select the station preset you want to listen to.

Alternatively, use the number buttons (use the >10 button for numbers over 10).

• If the system is left disconnected from the AC power outlet for a lengthy period, the station presets will be lost and will have to be re-programed.

7 Using the Timer

Using the wake up timer

You can use the timer as an alarm clock to wake up to the sound of a disc loaded or the radio. If you have an external component operated by a separate timer, you can also set the source function to that.

Once the timer is active, it will switch the system on everyday at the set time.

Unlike an ordinary alarm clock, you need to set a system switch off time as well as a switch on time.

1 Select the source that you’d

like to wake up to.

For a disc, press DVD; for the radio press

TUNER. For an external component, press

the corresponding button.

2 Load a disc or tune to a radio

station, then set the volume.

If you selected an external component, make the appropriate timer settings for it.

When setting the volume, remember things sound louder first thing in the morning!

7 Set the switch off time.

Set in the same way as the switch on time, pressing ENTER to finish.

• If you make a mistake, press

TIMER/CLOCK ADJ and start again

from step 3.

8 Check the settings you just

made.

The display should indicate that you set the wake up timer, then show the on time, the off time, the function (DVD, etc.), and the volume.

• There is no direct way to edit the timer settings. If you see that some timer setting is not what you’d intended, you’ll need to start the process again from the top.

9 Switch the system into standby.

The timer will not work if the system is left on!

The standby light on the front panel lights green to indicate that the timer has been set.

3 Press SYS then TIMER/CLOCK

ADJ.

4 Press the @ or # button until

you see WAKE-UP SET in the display.

5 Press ENTER.

The display shows a switch on time with the hour blinking.

6 Set the switch on time.

Use % and ﬁ to set the hour then press

ENTER. Set the minute in the same way,

pressing ENTER to finish.

• If you make a mistake, press

TIMER/CLOCK ADJ and start again

from step 3.

Activating/deactivating the wake up timer

To activate the wake up timer, set the timer to ON. To deactivate it, set the timer to

OFF.

1 Press SYS then TIMER/CLOCK

ADJ.

2 Press the @ or # button until

you see TIMER ON or TIMER OFF in the display.

3 Press ENTER.

7 Using the Timer

Checking the timer settings

If you’ve set the wake-up timer, you can check the settings anytime. Here’s how to do it.

1 Press SYS then TIMER CLOCK/

ADJ.

2 Press the @ or # button until

you see TIMER CHECK in the display.

3 Press ENTER.

The display shows the timer settings:

• On time

• Off time

• Function (DVD, etc.)

• Volume

Using the sleep timer

The sleep timer switches the system into standby after a specified amount of time so that you can fall asleep without worrying about the stereo being left on all night. If you've also set the wake up timer this is important since the wake up timer will only work if the system is in standby.

1 Press SYS.

2 Press SLEEP to set the time

until the system goes into standby.

Press repeatedly to switch between:

• SLEEP AUTO – this setting is only available when the system is playing a CD *

• SLEEP 90 (minutes)

• SLEEP 60 (minutes)

• SLEEP 30 (minutes)

• SLEEP OFF (cancels the sleep timer)

The sleep timer indicator ( ) lights when the sleep timer is active.

* not available when a Video CD is in PBC mode, or if you're playing a CD or Video CD in repeat mode. If you set a disc playing in repeat mode after setting the sleep timer to AUTO, it automatically switches to the 90 minute setting.

• Once the sleep timer is set, you can check the time left by pressing SLEEP.

•TO cancel the sleep timer, switch the system into standby, or select SLEEP

(as described above)

OFF

• If you switch to a different source when

SLEEP AUTO is set, the system will

automatically go into standby a minute later.

8 Making Recordings

Making an audio or a video recording

The following steps show you how to make an audio or a video recording from the built in tuner, DVD, CD or from an audio or video source connected to the system (CD player, satellite tuner, etc.). Recordings can be made to a recorder connected to the

AUDIO 1 or VIDEO 1 inputs/outputs.

The system's volume, balance, bass, treble, Midnight and surround sound settings have no effect on the recording.

Notes

• You can't record a source connected to the digital inputs from the analog outputs.

• You can't record DTS encoded discs from the analog outputs.

1 Select a source to record.

Use the MULTI CONTROL buttons on the remote, or the FUNCTION button (remote or front panel) to select the source.

2 Prepare the program source.

Tune to the radio station, load the CD, etc. For a video recording load the video, etc.

3 Insert a blank tape, MD, etc.

into the recorder connected to either AUDIO 1 or VIDEO 1 and set the recording levels.

Refer to the instructions that came with the recorder if you are unsure how to do this. Most video recorders set the audio recording level automatically—check your video's instruction manual if you are unsure whether yours has manual controls.

Making a digital recording

The system has one optical digital audio output (for AUDIO 1). If you want to make a digital recording from this system hook up this optical output to the optical input of your digital recorder. The source (CD, DVD, etc.) must be digital also; this system doesn’t convert analog inputs to digital. If you’re recording from an external digital component, also make sure that you’ve selected the digital input for that component (see page 19).

Note: If you want to record DVD disc, check that the digital output settings correct. See page 36 for detailed instructions.

1 Select DVD or VIDEO V-2 as the

digital source to record.

Use the MULTI CONTROL buttons on the remote, or the FUNCTION button (remote or front panel) to select the source.

2 Prepare the program source.

Load the CD, MD, etc.

3 Insert a blank MD, CD-R, etc.

into the recorder connected to the optical output of AUDIO 1.

4 Start recording, then start

playback of the source component.

See the instructions that came with your recorder for detailed instructions on recording.

4 Start recording, then start

playback of the source component.

If you have a widescreen TV, select the 16:9 (Wide) setting—widescreen DVD software is then shown using the full screen area. When playing software recorded in conventional (4:3) format, the settings on your TV will determine how the material is presented—see the manual that came with your TV for details on what options are available.

If you have a conventional TV, choose either 4:3 (Letter Box) or 4:3 (Pan & Scan). In Letter Box mode, widescreen software is shown with black bars at the top and bottom of the screen. Pan & Scan chops the sides off widescreen material to make it fit the 4:3 screen (so even though the picture looks larger on the screen, you’re actually seeing less of the movie).

Miscellaneous settings

Parental Lock

• Default level: 8

• Default password: none

You can restrict access to certain discs using this feature. Once set, you will be asked for a four-digit password when a restricted disc is loaded, giving you a degree of control over what your children watch.

You can set the restriction to one of eight levels. Setting the level at 1 means that any disc that has any level of restriction will need the password in order to watch it, while setting it at level 8 gives unlimited access.

DVD discs are also rated from 1 to 8. Discs rated 1 (or with no rating) generally contain little or no offensive material; discs rated 2, may contain material that some parents may feel is unsuitable for children. Discs rated 8 will almost certainly be unsuitable for children.

Since a disc’s rating is up to the manufacturer, it is not possible to give a definitive guide to each level—check the disc box for parental lock details.

Be careful: not all discs that you may consider inappropriate for your children are rated. Unrated discs will always play without requiring the password first.

10 Advanced Sound Setup

Advanced sound settings

This chapter covers advanced settings to further optimize the sound of your system.

LFE attenuator

The LFE (low frequency effects) channel carries ultra low bass sound to add weight to effects in Dolby Digital and DTS soundtracks. This channel can overload the sub-woofer resulting in distortion. Use the LFE attenuator setting to reduce the signal fed to the subwoofer.

Note: The LFE attenuator only works with sources that contain an LFE channel. It is not a general level control for the sub-woofer.

1 Press SYS then SETUP.

2 Press the @ or # button until you see LFE ATT in the display.

3 Use the % and ﬁ buttons to set the amount of signal reduction.

There are three settings:

• ATT 0 – default setting (no signal reduction)

• ATT 10 – the LFE channel signal level is reduced to avoid distortion

• OFF – the LFE channel is switched off completely. This may be useful late at night, for example.

4 Press ENTER to make the setting.

Dynamic Range Control

The dynamic range of a source is the difference between the quietest and the loudest sounds. The dynamic range of Dolby Digital soundtracks can be very great. This makes them exciting, but it also means that when you turn the volume down you can easily lose quiet dialog. Switch on Dynamic Range Control to even out the soundtrack volume.

1 Press SYS then SETUP.

2 Press the @ or # button until you see D.R.C. in the display.

3 Use the % and ﬁ buttons to sselect a dynamic range setting.

• D.R.C. OFF – default setting (no change to the dynamics)

• D.R.C. LOW – the dynamic range is reduced by a small amount.

• D.R.C. MEDIUM – mid setting

• D.R.C. HIGH – the dynamic range is reduced by a large amount (good for listening at very low volume).

4 Press ENTER to make the setting.

2 Press the @ or # button until you see STEREO or DUAL MONO

3 Use the % and ﬁ buttons to select a dual-mono setting.

Dual-mono setting

The dual-mono setting applies only to Dolby Digital discs that feature dual-mono material—see the disc box for details.

Dual-mono discs are recorded with two independent channels that may be played together or separately depending on the situation. For example, a guitar tuition disc might have the guitar recorded on one channel and all the other instruments on the other. Use the dual-mono setting to play just the guitar part on its own; just the backing, or everything together (through separate speakers, or mixed).

in the display.

• STEREO – default setting (Ch1 is played through the left speaker; Ch2 through the right)

• DualMono Ch1 – Ch1 is played through the center speaker (or through the left and right speakers if Surround Off is selected); Ch2 is muted.

• DualMono Ch2 – Ch2 is played through the center speaker (or through the left and right speakers if Surround Off is selected); Ch1 is muted.

• DualMono MIX – Ch1 and Ch2 are mixed together and played through the center speaker (or through both left and right speakers if Surround Off is selected).

4 Press ENTER to make the setting.

11 Controlling Other Equipment

Setting up the remote control

In addition to controlling this system, you can set up the remote to operate other audio/ visual components, such as your TV, VCR, MD recorder, and so on.

To set up the remote, often all you need to do is to tell it what component(s) you have (see Setting up using component presets below). If you have a component that the remote doesn’t know how to control already, you can ‘teach’ it using that component’s remote control (see Learning directly from other remote controls on page 45).

Setting up using component presets

This method of setting up the remote requires only that you tell it the manufacturer of each component. You do this by looking up the type of component (TV, MD deck, etc.), and the manufacturer in the Preset code list starting on page 60.

After setting up, see pages 48 – 52 for how to actually control your other components using this remote.

Note: The correct preset code may not cover all the remote control commands for your particular components. Use the learning function to program extra commands (see Learning directly from other remote controls on page 45).

1 Switch on the component you are setting up this remote for.

After you’ve entered the correct code in the steps below, the remote should switch off the component.

2 Press and hold REMOTE SETUP for three seconds.

The red LED at the top of the remote blinks twice.

• To cancel, press REMOTE SETUP again.

3 Press the MULTI CONTROL button for the component you want

to control.

For example, if you want to set up the remote to control your TV, press TV.

The MULTI CONTROL buttons have different types of components assigned to them by default:

• V-1 – analog or digital VCR, DVD, DVD-R, LD, DVD/LD player (default: Pioneer VCR, 0058).

• V-2 – Satellite, cable or DTV tuner (default: Pioneer cable TV tuner, 0533).

• A-1 and A-2 – CD player, CD-R recorder, tape deck, MD deck (A-1 default: Pioneer CD-R recorder, 1087. A-2 default: Pioneer CD player, 0032).

• TV – television (default: Pioneer TV, 0679).

You can change these assignments if you need to. For example, if you connected an audio component to one of the video inputs/outputs. See page 44 for how to do this.

4 Look up the preset code for your component.

You can find this in Preset code list starting on page 60. First find the type of component (TV, etc.), then find the manufacturer. Next to each manufacturer is one or more 4-digit codes.

• If you can’t find the manufacturer of your component in the code list, press

REMOTE SETUP to exit, then see Learning directly from other remote controls

on page 45 for how to set up the remote using an alternative method.

• If no button is pressed for more than 10 seconds, remote setup is exited.

Page 44

11 Controlling Other Equipment

5 Point the remote at the component to control and enter the

4-digit code.

If there’s more than one code, enter the first one.

The LED blinks after each button press, and twice to confirm a valid code has been input. If it doesn’t blink twice, you have entered an invalid code: check the code and input it again.

If all went well, the remote should have just switched off the other component. If it didn’t, and the manufacturer has more than one code in the list, start again from step 1 using another code.

Reassigning a MULTI CONTROL button

You can only assign preset codes for certain kinds of components to each MULTI

CONTROL

button to a different kind of component. You would need to do this if you connected an MD recorder to the Video 1 inputs/outputs, for example.

1 Press and hold REMOTE SETUP for three seconds.

The LED at the top of the remote will blink twice.

2 Press the MULTI CONTROL button which you want to change.

You can reassign these buttons:

• V- 1

• V- 2

• A-1

• A-2

• TV

In the above example, press V-1.

11 Controlling Other Equipment

Learning directly from other remote controls

If preset codes are not available for your component(s), or the available preset codes do not work, you can use this method to teach the remote each command separately.

You can also use this operation to program additional commands for a component not covered in the preset codes.

1 Press and hold REMOTE SETUP for three seconds.

The LED at the top of the remote blinks twice.

2 Press the MULTI CONTROL button for the component you want

to control.

For example, press VIDEO V-1 to program a command from a VCR connected to the Video 1 inputs/outputs.

3 Using the number buttons, enter 975.

The LED flashes rapidly to indicate that the remote is in Learning Setup mode and ready to learn new commands from another remote.

• The remote will exit Learning Setup after 10 seconds if no commands are entered.

• To cancel Learning Setup here, press REMOTE SETUP.

4 Press the MULTI CONTROL button again for the component you

want to control.

5 Press the button on this system’s remote that you want to learn a

new command.

For example, press 3. The illustration left shows the buttons that can be used to learn commands.

6 Point the remotes towards each other, about 2-5 cm (1-2 inches)

apart.

7 Press the button on the other component’s remote for the

command you want to program.

The LED on this system’s remote will go out and then blink twice when the command has been learned.

• If the LED doesn’t start blinking, try varying the distance between the remotes, then press the button again.

• Some commands from other remote controls cannot be learned, but in most cases the remotes just need to be moved closer together or farther apart.

• If the LED starts to blink slowly, it may mean that no more commands can be learnt. If it is necessary to learn another command, first delete another learnt command— see the following page.

8 Program additional commands for the same component as

required.

Repeat steps 5 through 7.

9 Program commands for other components as required.

Repeat steps 4 through 7.

Yellow

Playing your TV through this system

When watching cable or satellite TV, it’s best to connect the cable/satellite box directly to this system, rather than going via the TV. However, if you’re watching TV via an antenna plugged directly into the back of the TV, then connect your TV’s audio outputs to the AUDIO 1 or AUDIO 2 inputs of this system to play the TV’s audio through the speakers of this system. Use a standard stereo audio cord (not supplied), matching up the colors both ends for best results.

Connect to AUDIO 1 IN or AUDIO 2 IN

White

Red

Connecting to a TV with an S-Video cord

Many TVs also have an S-Video input which you can use to connect to this system using an S-Video cord (not supplied).

3 Use the % and ﬁ buttons to select a video out setting.

Setting the display brightness

You can adjust the brightness of the display to suit the lighting conditions of the room. For example, in a brightly lit room you'd probably want the display brighter than in a room with low lighting.

Press FL DIMMER repeatedly to set the display brightness. There are five levels.

Switching the TV system output

DVD and Video CD discs are recorded in either PAL or NTSC format. This setting determines which TV signal format is output to your TV.

DVD VIDEO in the display.

• DVD VIDEO AUTO – default setting (video is output according to the disc loaded: PAL if it's a PAL disc; NTSC if it's an NTSC disc). If you have a multi-system TV, leave this setting as AUTO.

• DVD VIDEO PA L – output is always PAL, even when an NTSC disc is loaded. Use this setting if your TV is PAL-compatible only.

• DVD VIDEO NTSC – PAL Video CDs are output as NTSC; PAL DVD discs cannot be played on this setting. Use this setting if your TV is NTSC-compatible only.

Taking care of your system

To clean this unit, wipe with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, wet a soft cloth with a mild detergent solution made by diluting one part detergent to 5 or 6 parts water, wring well, then wipe off the dirt. Use a dry cloth to wipe the surface dry. Do not use volatile liquids such as benzene and thinner which may damage the surfaces.

13 Additional Information

• Wipe lightly from the center of the disc using straight strokes.

Disc lens cleaner

The disc pickup lens should not become dirty in normal use, but if for some reason it should malfunction due to dirt or dust, consult your nearest Pioneer authorized service center. Although lens cleaners for CD players are commercially available, we do not recommend using them since some may damage the lens.

Taking care of your discs

When holding discs, take care not to leave fingerprints, dirt or scratches on the disc surface. Hold the disc by its edge or by the center hole and edge. Damaged or dirty discs can affect playback performance. Take care also not to scratch the label side of the disc. Although not as fragile as the recorded side, scratches can still result in a disc becoming unusable.

Should a disc become marked with fingerprints, dust, etc., clean using a soft, dry cloth, wiping the disc lightly from the center to the outside edge as shown on the right. If necessary, use a cloth soaked in alcohol, or a commercially available CD or DVD cleaning kit to clean a disc more thoroughly. Never use benzine, thinner or other cleaning agents, including products designed for cleaning vinyl records.

• Don’t wipe the disc surface using circular strokes.

Storing discs

Although CDs and DVDs are more durable than vinyl records, you should still take care to handle and store discs correctly. When you're not using a disc, return it to its case and store upright. Avoid leaving discs in excessively cold, humid, or hot environments (including under direct sunlight).

Don't glue paper or put stickers on discs, or write on them using a pencil, ball-point pen or other sharp-tipped writing instrument.

Discs to avoid

Discs spin at high speed during playback. If you can see that a disc is cracked, chipped, warped, or otherwise damaged, don't risk using it—you could end up damaging the system.

This system is designed for use with conventional, fully circular discs only. Use of shaped discs is not recommended. Pioneer disclaims all liability arising in connection with the use of shaped CDs and DVDs.

13 Additional Information

Glossary

Analog audio

An electrical signal that directly represents sound. Compare this to digital audio which can be an electrical signal, but is an indirect representation of sound. See also Digital audio.

Aspect ratio

The width of a TV screen relative to its height. Conventional TVs are 4:3 (in other words, the screen is almost square); widescreen models are 16:9 (the screen is almost twice as wide as it is high).

Chapter (DVD only)

Just as a book is split up into several chapters, a title on a DVD disc is usually divided into chapters. See also Title.

Digital audio

An indirect representation of sound by numbers. During recording, the sound is measured at discrete intervals (44,100 times a second for CD audio) by an analog-to-digital converter, generating a stream of numbers. On playback, a digital-to-analog converter generates an analog signal based on these numbers. See also Sampling frequency and Analog audio.

Dolby Digital

A surround sound system developed by Dolby Laboratories containing up to six channels of digital audio (front left and right, surround left and right, center and low-frequency channels). See also DTS.

DTS

A surround sound system developed by Digital Theater Systems as an alternative to Dolby Digital. DTS discs contain up to eight channels of digital audio. See also Dolby Digital.

Optical digital output

A jack that outputs digital audio in the form of light pulses. Connect components with optical digital jacks using a special optical cord, available from good audio dealers.

PCM (Pulse Code Modulation)

The most common system of encoding digital audio, found on CDs and DAT. Excellent quality, but requires a lot of data compared to formats such as Dolby Digital and MPEG audio. For compatibility with digital audio recorders (CD, MD and DAT) and AV amplifiers with digital inputs, this unit can convert Dolby Digital and MPEG audio to PCM. See also Digital audio.

PBC (PlayBack Control) (Video CD only)

A system of navigating a Video CD through on-screen menus recorded onto the disc. Especially good for discs that you would normally not watch from beginning to end all at once—karaoke discs, for example.

Regions (DVD only)

These associate discs and players with particular areas of the world. This unit will only play discs that have compatible region codes. You can find the region code of your unit by looking on the rear panel. Some discs are compatible with more than one region (or all regions).

Sampling frequency

The rate at which sound is measured to be turned into digital audio data. The higher the rate, the better the sound quality, but the more digital information is generated. Standard CD audio has a sampling frequency of 44.1kHz, which means 44,100 samples (measurements) per second. See also Digital audio.

Dynamic range

The difference between the quietest and loudest sounds possible in an audio signal (without distorting or getting lost in noise). Dolby Digital and DTS soundtracks are capable of a very wide dynamic range, delivering dramatic cinema-like effects.

MPEG video

The video format used for Video CDs and DVDs. Video CD uses the older MPEG-1 standard, while DVD uses the newer and much better quality MPEG-2 standard.

Title (DVD only)

A collection of chapters on a DVD disc. See also Chapter.

• Different discs respond in different ways to some functions.This may result in the screen becoming black for a brief instant or shaking slightly when the function is executed.

These problems are largely due to differences between discs and disc content and are not malfunctions of this system.

When recorded on a VCR or passed through an AV selector, there is disturbance in the playback picture.

• Due to copy protection, connection of this system through a VCR or an AV selector may prevent recording or cause picture problems.

This is not a malfunction.

13 Additional Information

Noisy radio reception

• Antennas are not connected properly. Check the connections. For FM, make sure that the

antenna is fully extended and positioned to give the best reception (See the separate Setting Up guide).

For AM, make sure that the loop antenna is pointing in the best direction (See the separate Setting Up guide).

• The frequency is incorrect. Check the radio frequency.

• The radio signal is weak. If the radio signal is weak, an outdoor antenna will

usually give better results than the supplied indoor

Tuner

types.

• Other electrical equipment is causing interference. Other electrical equipment, such as TVs, fluorescent

lamps and motors can cause interference. Try switching off or moving the equipment, or moving the antenna(s).

Auto tuning does not pick up some stations.

• The radio signal is weak. Auto tuning will only detect radio stations with a good

signal. For more sensitive tuning, connect an outdoor antenna.

Note: Static electricity or other external influences may cause malfunctioning of this unit. In this case, unplug the power cord and then plug back in. This will usually reset the unit for proper operation. If this does not correct the problem, please consult your nearest Pioneer service center.
