GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION

• If this product is equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other), it will fit into the outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

• If this product is equipped with a three-wire grounding type plug, a plug having a third (grounding) pin, it will only fit into a grounding type power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding type plug.

POWER-CORD PROTECTION — Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the product.

OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING — If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the product, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges.

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.

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.

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

CARE OF DISCS

■How to hold discs

• Be sure to store discs in their cases, away from high temperatures and humidity, direct sunlight, and extremely low temperatures.
• Be sure to read disc instructions.

■Cleaning

• Fingersprints or other dirt on the disc may affect sound and picture quality. 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.
• You are recommended to use the separately sold JV-D11 Cleaning Set to clean discs.
• For stubborn dirt, soak the cloth in a weak detergent solution; wring well first and wipe. Use a dry cloth to wipe it dry.
• Never play cracked or warped discs.
• Do not scratch or stick paper or seals on the label side of a disc. Glue may seep out, preventing ejection of a disc or causing other problems. Rental discs often have labels, so check that no glue is seeping out before playing to avoid such problems.

Do not play a CD with a special shape

Do not play a CD having other shape than a circular disc, such as a heart shaped disc. Otherwise malfunction may occur.

LD/CD lens cleaner

The player's pickup lens should not get dirty in normal use, but if for some reason it should malfunction due to soiling, consult your nearest PIONEER authorized service center. Special care should be exercised as some lens cleaning discs may damage the lens. Ejecting some cleaning discs may also be impossible after use.

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, the 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.

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.

• Do not route the cable around sharp objects. When storing, wind the cable so that it has a diameter of at least 15 ~cm .
• When connecting, push the plug all the way into the terminal.
• Please don't use cables with a length of over 3m .
• If moisture or dust has collected on the plug, wipe it with a soft cloth before connecting.

Terms

Dolby Digital (AC-3)*

Dolby Digital (AC-3) delivers up to 5.1 channels of discrete multi-channel audio. This is the same system that is used for surround sound in Dolby Digital equipped movie theaters.

DOLBY DIGITAL

or

DOBLURY SURROUND AC-2 DIGITAL

For DVD discs, the digital output PCM/DO jack (coaxial or optical) must be connected to the amplifier or processor's digital input AC-3/PCM jack.

For LD discs, the AC-3 RF OUT (LD) jack must be connected to the amplifier's AC-3 RF IN jack.

PCM

PCM stands for Pulse Code Modulation and is digital audio. The digital audio of CD, LD or DVD discs is PCM.

Title number

Title numbers refer to titles of movies etc. As DVD discs have a large capacity, many movies can be recorded on one disc. For example, when 3 different movies are recorded on a disc, they are divided into TITLE 1, TITLE 2 and TITLE 3. Playback can be operated by selecting the title number.

Chapter number

Chapter numbers are the numbers assigned to sections on a title of the disc, similar to chapters in a book. If the disc includes these numbers, you can locate the section you want very quickly using chapter search and other functions.

• Some discs may not include chapter numbers.

Frame number

This is the number recorded in each frame on a standard CAV disc. You can use frame numbers for such operations as Frame Search for a desired frame.

Time number

The time number is the playback lapse time of a title in the disc from its beginning. The scene you want to locate can be searched for with the time number using the time number function etc.

Surround

This is a surround effect for karaoke fun with a more expansive sound and added atmosphere.

Echo

This provides an echo effect.

LD(Laserdisc)

Depending on the signal recording method used, there are two types of Laserdiscs; standard discs (CAV) and extended playing discs (CLV).

CAV

CAV disc jackets or labels are marked with "Standard disc/CAV" or "Standard Play".

CLV

CLV disc jackets or labels are marked with "Extended playing disc/CLV" or "Extended Play".

Laserdiscs with digital audio

These type of discs are recorded with digital audio signals in addition to the analog audio signals. This allows you to enjoy high quality digital sound along with the laser disc's high quality picture.

Multi audio discs with digital sound

These type of discs are recorded with different types of digital audio and analog audio content.

and MULTI AUDIO or digital MULTI AUDIO

Digital audio or analog audio can be enjoyed by switching between them.

Graphics Discs

Besides video and audio signals, discs feature recorded subcode data. This data includes recorded graphics information.

CD graphics discs: Feature information such as karaoke lyrics and graphics (pictures) for more karaoke fun.

The mark on the right is displayed on the disc jacket or on the disc label.

GRAPHICS

TOC

TOC (Table Of Contents) information is data other than audio signal data, recorded at the beginning of a disc. As the name implies, it's like the list of contents in a book, with information such as the number of songs and playback time.

• Some LDs also feature a TOC.
• LDs and CDVs with a TOC belong to the "optical digital audio video disc system" family of discs.

Terms

Video CDs

These discs provide MD quality sound, and VHS quality video images. Thanks to MPEG1, the digital signal compression system, a single disc provides up to 74 minutes of continuous digital audio and video. There are also Video CDs with Playback Control (PBC) that let you select playback of desired scenes using menus, and view still images.

Playback Control (PBC)

This refers to signals recorded on a Video CD (Version 2.0) enabling playback control.

You can use menus recorded on discs with PBC for easy, interactive Search for desired scenes, and playback.

You can also enjoy viewing high-resolution/standard resolution still images.

High-resolution images

If the high-resolution still images are recorded in the Video CD, you can enjoy viewing them with four times the resolution of moving images.

Screen saver

When a still picture is displayed for a long period a phenomena know as "screen burn" may occur.

To avoid this, computers are equipped with screen savers. Although reducing the brightness of the screen will produce the same effect, the screen saver on a computer automatically darkens the screen or produces a moving image that prevents strong light rays (bright colors) from being able to concentrate in one spot on the screen.

Multi-angle

When you watch regular TV programs you are watching the image filmed through the TV camera. Because of this the picture is displayed on your TV from the view point of the TV camera's position. In a TV studio the image is filmed by many cameras at the same time, and one of those images is selected by the program director and transmitted to your household TV. If all the filmed images were transmitted to your TV you would be able to select the camera image you want. Some DVD discs are recorded with the angles of all camera's used for filming and these can be selected using this player. These types of discs are called multi-angle discs.

Aspect ratio

Aspect ratio refers to the length to height ratio of TV screens. The ratio of a normal TV is 4:3, while the ratio of a Hi-vision TV or wide TV is 16:9. This allows you to enjoy a picture with a wider perspective.

Parental level

This function was suggested by parents. Parental level restrictions are restrictions incorporated into scenes that parents do not wish their children to view.

Condition memory

"Condition" refers to the various mode settings etc. On this player, various conditions, such as those set during playback etc. can be memorized. This function allows you to play back the same disc at any time without having to reset the condition settings.

Subtitle

Subtitles are language titles superimposed on movies etc. Up to 32 different subtitle languages can be recorded on a DVD disc. The subtitle function can be used to select the language of your choice.

Regional restriction codes (region number)

Regional restriction codes are built-in to DVD players and DVD discs for each sales region. If the regional code of the DVD player does not match one of the regional codes of the DVD disc, playback will not be possible. At this time an indicator will appear on the screen.

The region number is described on the rear panel.

Playable		Unplayable
Player	Disc	Player	Disc

Optical digital output

Normally, audio is converted to an electric signal and transmitted through an electric wire from the player to the amplifier etc. Changing this signal to a digital signal and transmitting it through an optical fibre cable is called optical digital output. (Optical digital input is the side receiving the signal such as the amplifier etc.)

• PCM/DQ: Choose this setting when connecting to the Dolby Digital (AC-3) optical digital input of an amp equipped with a Dolby Digital (AC-3) decoder.
• PCM: Choose this setting when connecting to the optical digital input of a regular amp, a Dolby Pro Logic amp etc.

Dynamic range

Dynamic range refers to the difference between the maximum conversion level for transmission/conversion of distortion free signals and noise and/or the minimum level limited by the equipment's characteristics. Decibel units (dB) are used.

For Proper and Long Use

DO NOT MOVE THE UNIT DURING PLAYBACK

During playback, the disc rotates at high speed. Do NOT lift or move the unit during playback. Doing so may damage the disc.

WHEN MOVING THE UNIT

When changing places of installation or packing the unit for moving, be sure to remove the disc and return the disc table to its original position in the player. Then, switch the power OFF. Check that the "OFF" indication on the display goes off, then disconnect the power cord. Leaving a disc loaded may result in damage when the unit is moved.

INSTALLATION PLACE

• Select a stable place to the side of a TV set or stereo system to be connected to the unit.
• When using the unit with a stereo system, install the speakers a little bit away from the TV.
• Do NOT install the unit on top of a TV or color monitor. Install the unit away from equipment that may be affected by magnetism, such as a cassette deck.

AVOID INSTALLING IN A PLACE THAT IS:

• Exposed to direct sunlight
• Exposed to humidity or where ventilation is poor
• Extremely hot or cold
• Exposed to vibration
• Exposed to dust
• Exposed to oily smoke, steam or heat (for example, a kitchen)

DO NOT PLACE AN OBJECT ON TOP

Do NOT place an object on the unit.

DO NOT BLOCK VENTS

Do NOT use the player on top of a long-fibered carpet, bed or sofa, and do not cover it with a cloth etc. This will prevent heat radiation and could result in damage.

AVOID HEAT

Do NOT place the unit on equipment generating heat, such as an amplifier.

When installing the unit in a rack, place it on the lowest shelf possible (however, not where it is exposed to dust) and separated from the amplifier to avoid the heat generated by the amplifier or other audio equipment.

CAUTION: WHEN PLACING THE UNIT IN A STEREO RACK WITH GLASS DOORS

Be sure there is ample space between the unit and the glass doors when opening the disc table using the remote control.

If the disc table opens against strong resistance, such as a closed glass door, damage to the unit may result.

SWITCH POWER OFF WHEN NOT USING THE UNIT

Depending on the strength of the TV or radio broadcast signal, having the TV or radio ON while power to the unit is ON may result in stripes on the TV screen or noise. However, this is not a malfunction of this unit or the TV or radio. In such a case, switch power to the unit OFF.

When the DVD/LD player's audio output is connected to a TV, VTR, or other component's audio input, excessively high signal input from a mic when enjoying karaoke may result in distortion and other adverse effects. If this happens, turn mic volume down, or switch the Attenuator switch on the rear of the player ON. (See P.70.)

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.
