Before you start01

Introduction to home theater

You are probably used to using stereo equipment to listen to music, but may not be used to home theater systems that give you many more options (such as surround sound) when listening to soundtracks.

Home theater refers to the use of multiple audio channels to create a surround sound effect, making you feel like you're in the middle of the action or concert. The surround sound you get from a home theater system depends not only on the speakers you have set up in your room, but also on the source and the sound settings of the system.

DVD-Video has become the basic source material for home theater due to its size, quality, and ease of use. Depending on the DVD, you can have up to seven different audio tracks coming from one disc, all of them being sent to different speakers in your system. This is what creates a surround sound effect and gives you the feeling of ‘being there’.

This receiver will automatically decode Dolby Digital, DTS or Dolby Surround DVD-Video discs. In most cases, you won’t have to make changes for realistic surround sound, but other possibilities (like listening to a CD with multi-channel surround sound) are explained in Playing sources, starting on page 43.

General disc compatibility

This player was designed and engineered to be compatible with software bearing one or more of the following logos.

DVD-Video

Video CDAudio CD CD-R CD-RW

Other formats, including but not limited to the following, are not playable in this player:

• DVD-Audio, SACD, Photo CD, DVDRAM, DVD-ROM, CD-ROM*

(*except those that contain MP3 files formatted as specified in the MP3 audio compatibility section)

• DVD-R/RW and CD-R/RW discs (Audio CDs and Video CDs) recorded using a DVD recorder, CD recorder or personal computer may not be playable on this machine. This may be caused by a number of possibilities, including but not limited to: the type of disc used; the type of recording; damage, dirt or condensation on either the disc or the player’s pick-up lens.

CD-R/RW compatibility

• This unit will play CD-R and CD-RW discs recorded in CD Audio or Video CD format, or as a CD-ROM containing MP3 audio files. However, any other content may cause the disc not to play, or create noise/distortion in the output.

Before you start

• This unit cannot record CD-R or CD-RW discs.

• Unfinalized CD-R/RW discs recorded as CD Audio can be played, but the full Table of Contents (playing time, etc.) will not be displayed.

DVD-R/RW compatibility

• This unit will play DVD-R/RW discs that were recorded using the DVD Video format.

• This unit will not play DVD-RW discs that were recorded using the Video Recording format.

• This unit cannot record DVD-R/RW discs.

• Unfinalized DVD-R/RW discs cannot be played in this player.

PC-created disc compatibility

• If you record a disc using a personal computer, even if it is recorded in a compatible format as listed above, there will be cases in which the disc may not be playable in this machine due to the setting of the application software used to create the disc. In these particular instances, check with the software publisher for more detailed information.

• Check the DVD-R/RW or CD-R/RW software disc boxes for additional compatibility information.

MP3 audio compatibility

• This unit will play CD-ROM discs containing files saved in the MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3 format (MP3) with a sampling rate of 32, 44.1 or 48kHz. Incompatible files will not play and UNPLAYABLE will show in the display.

• Fixed bit-rate files are recommended. Variable bit-rate (VBR) files are playable, but playing time may not be shown correctly.

• The CD-ROM used to compile your MP3 files must be ISO 9660 Level 2 compliant.

• CD physical format: Mode1, Mode2 XA Form1.

• This player only plays tracks that are named with the file extension “.mp3” or “.MP3”.

• This player is not compatible with multisession discs. If you try and play a multisession disc, only the first session will be played.

• Use CD-R or CD-RW media for recording your MP3 files. The disc must be finalized in order to play in this unit.

• This player can recognize a maximum of 250 folders and 250 tracks. Discs containing more than 250 folders or 250 tracks will play, but only the first 250 folders / tracks.

• Folder and track names (excluding the “.mp3” extension) are displayed.

English

Before you start01

• There are many different recording bitrates available to encode your MP3 files. This unit was designed to be compatible with all of them. Audio encoded at 128Kbps should sound close to regular CD Audio quality. This player will play lower bit-rate MP3 tracks, but please note that the sound quality becomes noticeably worse at lower bit-rates.

Titles, chapters and tracks

DVD discs are generally divided into one or more titles. Titles may be further subdivided into chapters.

Title 1 Title 2 Title 3

Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 1 Chapter 1 Chapter 2

CDs and Video CDs are divided into tracks.

Track 1 Track 2 Track 3 Track 4 Track 5 Track 6

CD-ROMs containing MP3 files are divided into folders and tracks. Folders may also contain further subfolders.

DVD Video regions

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 player also has a region mark, which you can find on the rear panel. Discs from incompatible regions will not play in this player. Discs marked ALL will play in any player.

The diagram below shows the various DVD regions of the world.

Playing discs

The basic playback controls for playing DVD, CD, Video CD and MP3 discs are covered here. Further functions are detailed in the

next chapter.

1 If the player isn’t already on, press STANDBY/ON to switch it on.

If you’re playing a DVD or Video CD, also turn on your TV and make sure that it is set to the correct video input.

2 Press 0 OPEN/CLOSE to open the disc tray.

3 Load a disc.

Load a disc with the label side facing up, using the disc tray guide to align the disc (if you’re loading a double-sided DVD disc, load it with the side you want to play face down).

Getting started03

4 Press 3 (6) to start playback.

If you’re playing a DVD or Video CD, a menu may appear. See pages 20–21 for how to navigate these.

If you’re playing an MP3 disc, it may take a few seconds before playback starts, depending on the complexity of the file structure on the disc.

• After I load a DVD disc, it ejects automatically after a few seconds!

Most likely, the disc is the wrong region for your player. The region number should be printed on the disc; check it against the region number of the player (which you can find on the rear panel). See also page 8.

If the region number is OK, it may be that the disc is damaged or dirty. Clean the disc and look for signs of damage. See also page 59.

• Why won’t the disc I loaded play?

First check that you loaded the disc the right way up (label side up), and that it’s clean and not damaged. See page 59 for information on cleaning discs.

If a disc loaded correctly won’t play, it’s probably an incompatible format or disc type, such as DVD-Audio or DVD-ROM. See page 6 for more on disc compatibility.

• I have a widescreen TV so why are there black bars at the top and bottom of the screen when I play some discs?

Some movie formats are such that even when played on a widescreen TV, black bars are necessary at the top and bottom of the screen. This is not a malfunction.

• I have a standard (4:3) TV and set the player to show widescreen DVDs in pan & scan format, so why do I still get black bars top and bottom with some discs?

Some discs override the display preferences of the player, so even if you have 4:3 (Pan & Scan) selected, those discs will still be shown in letterbox format. This is not a malfunction.

Introduction

With most of the features described in this chapter, you can make use of on-screen displays. For an explanation of how to navigate these, see Using the on-screen displays on page

Many of the functions covered in this chapter apply to DVD discs, Video CDs, CDs and MP3s, although the exact operation of some varies slightly with the kind of disc loaded. With CDs and MP3 discs, you can use the front panel display instead of the OSD for many features.

Some DVD discs restrict the use of some functions (random or repeat, for example). This is not a malfunction.

When playing Video CDs, some of the functions are not available during PBC playback. If you want to use them, start the disc playing using a number button to select a track.

An introduction to RDS

European model only

Radio Data System, or RDS as it’s usually known, is a system used by FM radio stations to provide listeners with various kinds of information—the name of the station and the kind of show they’re broadcasting, for example. This information shows up as text on the display, and you can switch between the kind of information shown. Although you don’t get RDS information from all FM radio stations, you do with most.

Probably the best feature of RDS is that you can search automatically by type of program. So, if you felt like listening to jazz, you could search for a station that’s broadcasting a show with the program type, JAZZ. There are around 30 such program types, including various genres of music, news, sport, talk shows, financial information, and so on.

This system lets you display three different kinds of RDS information: Radio Text, Program Service Name, and Program Type.

Radio Text (RT) is messages sent by the radio station. These can be anything the broadcaster chooses—a talk radio station might give out it telephone number as RT, for example.

Program Service Name (PS) is the name of the radio station.

Program Type (PTY) indicates the kind of program currently being broadcast.

This unit can search for and display the following program types:

NEWS News AFFAIRS Current affairs INFO General information

SPORT Sports EDUCATE Educational material DRAMA Radio drama CULTURE Arts and culture SCIENCE Science and technology VARIED Usually talk-based material,

such as quiz shows or interviews.

POP M Pop music ROCK M Rock music EASY M Easy listening music LIGHT M ‘Light’ classical music CLASSICS ‘Serious’ classical music OTHER M Other music not fitting any

of the above categories

WEATHER Weather reports FINANCE Finance and business CHILDREN Children’s entertainment SOCIAL Social affairs RELIGION Religious programming PHONE IN Phone-in talk shows TRAVEL Travel LEISURE Leisure interests and

hobbies

JAZZ Jazz music COUNTRY Country music NATION M Popular music in a lan-

guage other than English

OLDIES Popular music from the ’50s FOLK M DOCUMENT Documentaries

In addition, there is a program type, ALARM!, used for exceptional emergency announcements. You can’t search for this, but the tuner will switch automatically to this RDS broadcast signal.

English

Listening to the radio05

Using the RDS display

European model only

To display the different types of RDS information available (RT, PS and PTY as explained on the previous page), press SYSTEM DISP on the remote control to cycle through the types of RDS information.

Each press changes the display as follows:

RT PS

Frequency

Clock

• If any noise is picked up while displaying the RT scroll, some characters may be displayed incorrectly.

• If you see NO DATA in the RT display, it means no RT data is being transmitted from the broadcast station. The display will automatically switch to the PS data display. If no PS data is transmitted from the station, the frequency will be displayed.

• In the PTY display, there are cases where NO DATA or NO TYPE is shown. If this happens, the PS display is shown after a few seconds.

• This unit converts lower case characters transmitted by broadcast stations to upper case characters.

PTY SEARCH

Searching for RDS programs

European model only

One of the most useful features of RDS is the ability to search for a particular kind of radio program. You can search for any of the program types (listed on the previous page).

1 Use the BAND button to select the FM band.

RDS is only broadcast on FM.

2 Press SYSTEM DISP repeatedly until PTY SEARCH appears in the display.

3 Use the buttons to select the program type you want to hear.

4 Press ENTER to search for the program type.

The system starts searching through the station presets for a match. When it finds one, the search stops and the station plays for five seconds.

5 If you want to keep listening to the station, press ENTER within the 5 seconds.

If you don’t press ENTER, searching resumes.

• RDS searches station presets only.

The center speaker is normally placed directly in the front of the listening room and closer to the listening position than the front speakers. This means that the sound from the center speaker will be heard before the front speakers. To prevent this, set the center speaker distance setting to delay the sound from the center speaker so that the sound from the front and center speakers will be heard at the same time.

With this setting you can choose which channel in the dual mono setting you want to listen to.

You will hear the channel you have selected (either CH1 or CH2) through your center speaker. If surround sound is switched off, you will hear the channel you have selected through both front speakers. In the L-CH1 R- CH 2 setting, the left front speaker will play channel 1 and the right front speaker will play channel 2.

Playing sources

Using the multi-channel sound modes

There are three basic multi-channel sound modes: Auto, Surround and Advanced Surround. The Stereo mode (available in all three modes) bypasses the multi-channel sound modes and downmixes multi-channel sources to your two-front speakers.

Auto

The AUTO mode automatically decodes Dolby Digital, DTS or Dolby Surround sources. You can identify Dolby Digital

software by the 1 or Most Dolby Surround software is marked 3, but unmarked software may also incorporate Dolby Surround.

Surround modes

The surround mode options (below) can add surround sound to regular stereo sources.

Choose one of the following to add depth to a 2 channel source:

Pro Logic

This mode gives 4.1 channel surround sound. It is less sensitive to the quality of the source material, so may be useful when Pro Logic II Movie/ Music modes do not give good results.

marks.

Pro Logic II Movie

This mode gives 5.1 channel surround sound. It is suitable for movies, especially those recorded in Dolby Surround. The channel separation and movement of surround effects is comparable to Dolby Digital 5.1.

Pro Logic II Music

This mode gives 5.1 channel surround sound and is suitable for music. Compared to Pro Logic II Movie, the surround effect is more enveloping.

Advanced Surround modes

These are designed to be used with multi channel surround sound audio/visual sources (like DVDs and LDs). Most Advanced Surround modes are designed to be used with film soundtracks, but some modes are also suited for music sources. Try different settings with various soundtracks to see which you like.

Advanced Music

Simulates the acoustic environment of a large concert hall and is suitable for music or musical sources marked 1

(

) or

Advanced Movie

Simulates the relaxed environment of a movie theater, and is suitable for watching movies on sources marked 1

(

) or

Playing sources07

Virtual Surround Back

The Virtual Surround Back effect simulates

6.1 surround channel listening, giving the impression that there is a surround back speaker in your system when listening to a

5.1 channel source.

Expanded

This mode is especially designed to give sound depth to stereo sources. The overall effect builds a dynamic and broad sound space, allowing two-channel (stereo) signals to imitate a five speaker sound. Use with Dolby Pro Logic for a stereo surround effect. You can also use with Dolby Digital sources for a wider stereo field than the Surround modes.

TV Surround

You can use this mode to give surround sound to mono or stereo TV audio sources.

Virtual Surround

When you select this mode, you will hear a surround sound effect produced from the two front speakers only. When selected, you won’t hear any sound from the other speakers in your system.

5-Channel Stereo

This can be selected to give powerful multichannel sound to a stereo source by giving equal power to all of the speakers in your setup. It is particularly well-suited to music sources with deep bass and a strong rhythmic feel.

Phones Surround

This is very similar to the Virtual Surround mode, and is available when you’re listening to the headphones to create an overall surround sound effect.

Stereo

When you select STEREO (available in both the Surround and Advanced surround modes), you will hear the source through just the front left and right speakers. Dolby Digital and DTS multi-channel sources are downmixed to stereo.

The audio plays according to the surround setup settings and you can still use the tone control (SOUND MODE) functions.

Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Digital and DTS signal processing is done automatically corresponding to the input signal.

If you have a conventional (standard) TV, select 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). See also Screen sizes and disc formats on page 66.

Additional information

Using discs with this unit

Handling discs

When holding discs of any type, 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 in the diagram below.

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

Storing discs

Although CDs and DVD discs 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 onto the disc, or use a pencil, ball-point pen or other sharptipped writing instrument. These could all damage the disc.

For more detailed care information see the instructions that come with discs.

Do not load more than one disc into the player at a time.

Discs to avoid

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

English

Don’t wipe the disc surface using circular strokes.

If necessary, use a cloth soaked in alcohol, or a commercially available CD/DVD cleaning kit to clean a disc more thoroughly. Never use benzine, thinner or other cleaning agents, including products designed for cleaning vinyl records.

This unit is designed for use with conventional, fully circular discs only. Use of shaped discs is not recommended for this product. Pioneer disclaims all liability arising in connection with the use of shaped discs.

Proper installation and maintenance of this unit

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 tempera-

tures or humidity, including near radiators and other heat-generating appliances.

✗ Place on a window sill or other place

where the player 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

player 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.

Cleaning the pickup lens

The DVD player’s lens should not become dirty in normal use, but if for some reason it should malfunction due to dust or dirt, 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.

Problems with condensation

Condensation may form inside the player 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 player, 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.

Moving the unit

If you need to move the unit, first press STANDBY/ON on the front panel to turn the player off. Wait for GOOD BYE to disappear from the display, then unplug the power cord. Never lift or move the unit during playback— discs rotate at a high speed and may be damaged.

• Unplugging the unit before GOOD BYE

completely disappears from the display may cause the system to return to the factory settings.

Screen sizes and disc formats

DVD-Video discs come in several different screen aspects, ranging from TV programs, which are generally 4:3, to CinemaScope widescreen movies, with an aspect ratio of up to about 7:3.

Televisions also come in different aspect ratios; ‘standard’ 4:3 and widescreen 16:9.

Widescreen TV users

If you have a widescreen TV, the TV Screen setting (page 51) of this player should be set to 16:9 (Wide).

When you watch discs recorded in 4:3 format, you can use the TV controls to select how the picture is presented. Your TV may offer various zoom and stretch options; see the instructions that came with your TV for details.

Please note that some movie aspect ratios are wider than 16:9, so even though you have a widescreen TV, these discs will still play in a ‘letterbox’ style with black bars at the top and bottom of the screen.

Standard TV users

If you have a standard TV, the TV Screen setting (page 52) of this player should be set to 4:3 (Letter Box) or 4:3 (Pan&Scan), depending on which you prefer.

Set to 4:3 (Letter Box), widescreen discs are shown with black bars top and bottom.

Set to 4:3 (Pan&Scan), widescreen discs are shown with the left and right sides cropped. Although the picture looks larger, you don’t actually see the whole picture.

Please note that many widescreen discs override the player’s settings so that the disc is shown in letterbox format regardless of the setting.

• Using the 16:9 (Wide) setting with a standard 4:3 TV, or either of the 4:3 settings with a widescreen TV, will result in a distorted picture.

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).

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-todigital 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

Using a maximum of 5.1 channels of audio, this high quality surround system is used in many of the finer movie theaters around the world.

DTS

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.

File extension

A tag added to the end of a filename to indicate the type of file. For example, “.mp3” indicates an MP3 file.

MP3

MP3 (MPEG1 audio layer 3) is a compressed audio file format. Files are recognized by their file extension “.mp3” or “.MP3”.

MPEG audio

An audio format used on Video CDs and some DVD discs. This unit can convert MPEG audio to PCM format for wider compatibility with digital recorders and AV amplifiers. See also PCM.

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.

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. See also Digital audio.

DTS stands for Digital Theater System. DTS is a surround system different from Dolby Digital that has become a popular surround sound format for movies.

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.

Additional information

Regions (DVD-Video 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.
