We Want You Listening For A Lifetime
IJSTENING
r
Used wisely, your new sound equipment will provide a lifetime of fun
and enjoyment. Since hearing damage from loud noise is often undetect-
able until it is too late, this manufacturer and the Electronic Industries
Association's Consumer Electronics Group recommend you avoid pro-
longed exposure to excessive noise. This list of sound levels is included
for your protection.
Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you've just purchased Decibel
is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it's time to consider Level
how you can maximize the fun and excitement your equipment offers.
This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association's Consumer 30
Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by 40
playing it at a safe level. One that lets the sound come through loud and 50
clear without annoying blaring or distortion-and, most importantly, with- 60
70
out affecting your sensitive hearing. 80
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 atalow setting.
• Slowly increase the sound untilyou can hear it comfortably and
clearly, and withoutdistortion.
Once you have established a comfortable sound level:
• Set the dial and leave it there.
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.

the disc table to its closed position. Then turn the power off,
and, after the "OFF" display stops blinking on the display, dis-
connect the power cord.
When FM or AM stations are being received, signal noise may be
generated if the player is turned on. Turn off the player when not
in use. Also, if there is signal noise when receiving radio stations
with an indoor antenna, adjust the position or direction of the
antenna.
INSTALLING THE PLAYER
• Place the player on a stable platform next to the television and
stereo system to be used with the player.
• Do not place heavy objects such as a television or TV monitor
on top of the player.
• Do not place the player on top of your TV set or TV monitor.
Also, keep the player away from devices such as cassette decks
which are sensitive to magnetic fields.
DO NOT INSTALL THE PLAYER IN THE FOLLOWING
LOCATIONS
• In a place subject to direct sunlight.
• In humid or poorly ventilated places.
• In extremely hot or cold places.
• In a place subject to vibrations.
• In a dusty place.
• In a place subject to soot, steam or heat (in a kitchen, etc.)
AVOID SOURCES OF HEAT
Do not put the player on sources of heat, such as an amplifier.
When installing with audio components that generate heat, by
placing the player below such components where there is ade-
quate ventilation and not much dust. Avoid placing the player on
surfaces such as shaggy carpets, beds, and sofas which may block
ventilation under the player and cause damage.
CAUTION
Even when the player is in the pause mode, the disc-drive motor is
still revolving. Since leaving the player in this condition can shorten
the lifetime of the motor, do not leave the player in the pause
mode for long periods of time. Also, to prevent damage to the
screen, do not use the unit for long periods of time under condi-
tions in which the screen display (monitor) is displaying characters
(for example, power-ON mode, CD PLAYER, PAUSE) With an LD
disc, if playback is paused for about 20 minutes, the player will
automatically enter stop mode.
STRIPE PATTERNS APPEARING ON A TV PROGRAM
Stripe patterns may appear during a TV program if the player unit is
turned on, depending on the quality of reception of the TV station.
This is neither a malfunction of the television nor the player. If
stripes appear while watching the TV, or whin watching the TV for
long periods of time, turn the player off.
CONDENSATION
Moisture will form in the operating section of the player if the
player is brought from cool surroundings into a warm room or
if the temperature of the room rises suddenly. When this hap-
pens, player's performance will be impaired.
To prevent this, let the player stand in its new •urroundings
for about an hour before switching it on, or make sure that
the room temperature rises gradually.
Condensation may also form during the summer if the player is
exposed to the breeze from an air conditioner. In such cases,
change the location of the player.
POWER-CORD CAUTION
Handle the power cord by the plug. Do not pull out the plug by
tugging the cord and never touch the power cord when your hands
are wet as this could cause a short circuit or electric shock. Do not
place the unit, a piece of furniture, etc., on the power cord, or
pinch the cord. Never make a knot in the cord or tie it with other
cords. The power cords should be routed in such a way that they
are not likely to be stepped on. A damaged power cord can cause
a fire or give you an electrical shock. Check the power cord once in
a while. When you find it damaged, ask your nearest PIONEER
authorized service center or your dealer for a replacement.
I CLEANING CARE I
Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning. For stubborn dirt, soak the cloth
in a weak detergent solution; wring well first and wipe. Use a dry
cloth to wipe it dry. Do not use any volatile agents such as benzine
or paint thinner, as they may damage the surface of the player.

GLOSSARY
LD terms
Chapter number
Just like the numbers assigned to chapters of a book, the
LD disc is divided into several chapters and each of them is
assigned a chapter number. If the chapter numbers are
recorded on the disc, it is possible to perform operations
such as the chapter search which quickly searches the de-
sired chapter.
• Some LD discs do not contain recorded chapter num-
bers.
Frame number
A frame number is assigned to every frame in a CAV disc.
This makes possible operations such as the frame search
which searches desired images based on their frame num-
bers.
Time number
This refers to the elapsed playing time from the beginning
of the disc that is recorded on CLV discs as well as on CAV
discs with TOC*I. This allows operations such as the time
number search which searches desired images based on
their time numbers.
CDV/CD terms
Track number
The CDV or CD disc is divided into several tracks and each
of them is assigned a track number. With the CDV disc, the
track numbers are recorded across the audio and video
parts. This allows operations such as the track search which
quickly searches the desired track.
TOO ('1)
CD and CDV discs contain non-audio information called the
TOC (Table Of Contents) at the beginning of the disc. As
this name implies, the TOC contains information on the
number of tracks and their playing time just like the table of
contents of a book.
• Some LD discs are not provided with a TOC section.
• The LD with TOC and the CDV belong to the same
category of "optical video disc systems with digital au-
dio".
CD video system
The CD video system is the unified name given to "optical
video disc systems with digital audio".
The systems belonging to this category include;
• CDV disc (CD VIDEO, CDV)
• LD with subcode and digital audio
• CD/CDV compatible player
• CD/CDV/LD compatible player
CD Vl DEO
LD (LaserDisc)
LaserDiscs include a standard play disc (CAV) and an ex-
tended play disc (CLV) depending on the signal recording
formats.
CAV
[Standard Play/CAV] or simply [Standard Play[ is indicated
on the jacket or label of the disc.
CLV
[Extended Play/CLV] or simply [Extended Play] is indicated
on the jacket or label of the disc.
