IJSrE_ING
f
Selecting fine audio equipment _uch 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 asafe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.
To establish a safe level:
• Start yourvolume controlata lowsetting.
• Slowly increasethesound until you can hear it comfortablyand
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.
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 Consumer Electronics Group recommend
you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise. This list of sound
levels is included for your protection.

Be careful not to catch your finger in the disc table
section while the disc table is being retracted into the
unit. Also, be careful that children do not put their
hands into the inside of the unit while the disc table
is open. This may cause injury.
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
when watching the TV for long periods of time, turn the
player off.
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.
INSTALL THE PLAYER IN A WELL VENTILATED
PLACE AWAY FROM HEAT AND HUMIDITY
Do not install the player in a location subject to direct sunlight,
or near a stove or radiator etc. This could adversely affect the
cabinet and internal components. Also avoid installing the
player in a humid or dusty location. This could result in a
malfunction or accident. Do not install near a cookstove
where the player could be affected by smoke, steam, or heat.
AVOID SOURCES OF HEAT
Do not put the player on sources of heat, such as an
amplifier. When installing with audio components on a rack,
avoid components that generate heat, by placing the player
below such components where there is adequate 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.
CAUTIONS FOR AUTOMATIC LOADING
OPERATIONS
Since this player has an automatic loading construction,
use the button on the player or the remote control unit
for opening and closing of the disc table. To avoid
damage, be careful not to apply any force to the moving
disc table.
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 the
damage to the screen, do not use the unit for long periods of
time under conditions in which the screen display (monitor) has
been displayed characters (for example, power-ON mode, CD
PLAY, PAUSE)
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 happens, player's performance will
be impaired.
To prevent this, let the player stand in its new
surroundings for about an hour before switching it on,
or make sure that the room temperature rises gradually.
The same, symptoms of condensation may be caused during
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
such that they are not likely to be stepped on. A damaged
power cord can cause 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.

Random Repeat cannot be carried out.)
Hi-Litellntro Scan Playback
Hi-Lite Scan - CD, CDV-audio part
Playback starts from a point 1 minute after the beginning
of the track, and each track is played for about 8 seconds.
Also, Hi-Lite Scan playback can be started from the desired
minute and second on each track.
Intro Scan - LD, CDV-video part
The beginning of each chapter/track is played for about 8
seconds.
Auto Program Editing/Compu Program Editing
The player automatically selects and programs the tracks
which can be played back within a specified time.
J LD (LaserDisc) Playback Functions ]
Gamma-Turn System - Two-Side Continuous Playback
With this function, both sides of a two-sided LD can be played
consecutively, eliminating the need to turn the disc over when
the first side of completed.
A Side _ B Side Continuous Playback Programs
Through the use of the Gamma-Turn system, programs which
go from side A to side Bor from side B to side A can be freely
created.
Special Play Functions Utilizing Digital Video Memory
The video system's jitter compensation circuit uses a digital
TBC which has a wide compensation range and theoretically
no signal degradation, resulting in high picture quality.
Moreover, an 8-bit digital memory circuit is incorporated,
enabling you to enjoy a variety of special play functions with
high picture quality, even with CLV discs.
Last Memory Function
With this function, if you turn the power switch off during
playback of an LD, aplayback position slightly ahead of the last
_fame to be p\aye_ '_sstored _nmemory/_\ast memo_V_ .'qkl_en
the power is turned back on, playback begins from the
memorized position by pressing I_/1_1_1.
CD (Compact Disc)/CDV (Compact Disc with
Video) Playback functions
Direct CD function
Pressing DIRECT CD on the front panel instructs the unit to
use the CD disc table, which reduces the play starting time.
In addition, since the picture circuit does not function, the
player eliminates the interference between signals and
reproduces more pure sound.
Digital NR system
Most LD discs contain noise and/or color distortion in the
source. This player uses a digital noise reduction system
which effectively reduces noise and color distortion and
allows you to independently change the brightness and
saturation as desired. Digital processing reproduces images
with superior picture quality.
Digital TBC system
A digital TBC system is used for correcting jitter in the picture
processing circuitry, featuring a wide correction range, minimal
signal degradation and high-quality picture reproduction.
1-Bit DLC D/A Converters
D/A converters are devices for transforming digital signals
into analog signals. The D/A converter used in this player
employs an advanced 1-bit conversion system. Compared to
conventional converters, this system has the following
advantages.
• Theoretically no zero cross distortion is generated.
• The system is free of non-liner distortion throughout the
frequency range.
• High-precision operation can be obtained without
adjustments.
With this type of conversion, there is no loss of music quality
even at minute signal levels. Moreover, the noise shaping
function necessary for 1-bit conversion is implemented using
a double-step noise shaping system. This system carries out
noise shaping once in the preliminary digital filter stage and
then again in the D/A converter section, thus minimizing
quantization noise and providing extremely high-precision
conversion. Furthermore, two of these D/A converters are
used independently for the left and right channels, realizing a
high signal-to-noise ratio and excellent separation.
Auto Loading and Automatic Disc Discriminaiton
Funcitons
This unit has a built-in motor-driven auto loading mechanism
which automatically opens and closes the disc table and
makes disc loading easy.
Also, once a disc is placed on the table and the table is
retracted into the player, the player automatically detects
which type of disc (LD, CD, or CDV) is loaded.
Compatibility with Many Disc Types and Sizes
Inaddition to conventional LDs (12 inch, 8 inch), CDs (5 inch),
and CDV discs (5 inch), the player can play thin-type 8 inch LDs
and 3 inch CD singles without an adapter.
Film mode
When Film Mode is ON, the front panel display window and
£ereen digDlav are turned off during playback, and the screen
gOeS b_ack when changing disc sides, Play starting time and
the time required to change disc sides is shorter than durir_g
normal playback. This mode is most suitable for playback of
movie discs.

LDs (LASERDISCS)
With this unit, only play LaserDiscs which bear the following
mark.
or
LASER D/,,_C zase,v,s,,>n
CLV (*3) DISCS
The jackets and labels of these discs are marked with a
"Extended Play Disc CLV" or "Extended Play" indication.
Signals are recorded on these discs at a constant linear
velocity (CLV), and the rotational speed during playback varies
from 1,800 rpm for the innermost track to 600 rpm for the
outermost track. As a result, one side of a CLV disc can have
a playback time of up to 60 minutes (for a12-inch disc), which
is twice as long as a standard play (CAV) disc.
CLV discs are encoded with time numbers which correspond
to the elapsed play time from the beginning of the disc.
* Playback time varies according to the contents of the disc.
LASERVISION DISCS WITH DIGITAL AUDIO (*6)
The jackets and lables of these discs bear the following mark.

RUDJD BOUND
These are LaserDiscs which contain digital audio signals in
addition to conventional analog audio signals. This feature
allows the high image quality of LaserDiscs to be enjoyed
together with the superior quality of digital sound. The digital
and analog audio signals are recorded on the disc using
different frequency bands.

This mark is the standard mark for LaserDiscs.
Players and discs which bear the LaserVision mark are mutually
compatible as long as they conform to the same television
system.
Two types of standard LaserDisc are available -- standard
play (CAV) (*5) discs and extended play (CLV) (*3) discs --
which differ with respect to their signal recording systems.
CAV (*5) DISCS
The jackets and labels of these discs are marked with a
"Standard Play Disc CAV" or "Standard Play" indication.
Frames are recorded on these discs at a ratio of one frame per
disc revolution, and the discs are played at a fixed rotational
speed (CAV = Constant Angular Velocity) of 1,800 rpm. This
system is well suited to specia_ playback modes such as still
_rame playback and multi-speed playback. One side of a CAN/
ciisccan have a 9_ayback£me o_up to 30 minutes (for a12-inch
disc), which is equivalent to 54,000 frames. Each frame --
from frame 1 to 54,000 -- is encoded with its own frame
number.
* Playback time varies according to the contents of the disc.
These are LaserDiscs in which the recording digital and analog
audio signals differ in content. This allows the user to enjoy
two different audio soundtracks by switching between the
digital and analog sound.
CDV (COMPACT DISC WITH VIDEO
DISCS
These are compact discs which also contain video signals. Of
the total 25-minute playback time of a CDV disc, 20 minutes
is encoded with conventional CD digital audio signals (the
"audio" part"). The remaining 5 minutes is encoded with both
video and digital audio signals (the "video part").

I CARE OF DISCS
How to hold discs
When loading or removing discs, try not to touch their playing
surfaces.
Cleaning
Fingerprints or other dirt on the disc may affect sound and
picture quality.
To clean your discs, use a soft clean cloth to wipe them. If
necessary, moisten a soft cloth with diluted neutral detergent
to remove heavy dirt or fingerprints.
Do not wipe in a circular
direction
Gently wipe from the
inside toward the outer edge.
Discs must not be cleaned with record cleaning sprays, or
static prevention sprays, etc. Also do not use volatile liquids
such as benzine, or thinner, etc.
NEVER PLAY CRACKED OR WARPED DISCS.
• The disc revolves in the player at a high speed when it is
played. Never play a cracked, scratched or warped disc.
This may damage the player or cause it to malfunction.
After using discs, store them upright
After playing a disc, always remove it from the player and
return it to its jacket. Then store it standing upright away from
heat and humidity.
• Store discs carefully. If you store discs at an angle, or
stacked on top of each other, discs may become warped
even when in their jackets.
• Do not leave discs in locations such as the seat of car,
which may become excessively hot.
If an LD disc is warped...
If an LD disc is warped, put the disc into its protective
envelope, and then place it between two flat boards. Then
place heavy books on top of the plates so that approximately
4 to 5 kg (10 Ib)is applied. Leave the disc like this for a day or
so. This may correct the warp.
