Chapter 1 Getting started

Home theater sound setup

Depending on the size and characteristics of your room, you can place your speakers in one of two ways using this system:1

• Standard surround 5-spot setup - This is a standard multichannel surround sound speaker setup for optimal 5.1 channel home theater sound.

• Front surround 3-spot setup - This setup is ideal when rear surround speaker placement isn't possible or you want to avoid running long speaker cables in your listening area. Use this setup together with the Front Surround modes to take advantage of wall and ceiling reflections for a very realistic surround effect.

After placing your speakers, complete Setting the channel levels below then refer to Speakers settings on page 23 to complete your surround sound setup.

Setting the channel levels

Set the relative channel levels from your main listening position.2

1 Press SHIFT+TEST TONE.

The test tone is output in the following order (from the speakers active in the current listening mode):

L-Front left speaker
C Center speaker
R-Front right speaker
- SR - Right surround speaker
- SL - Left surround speaker
- SW - Subwoofer3

2 Use the VOLUME + / - button to adjust the volume to an appropriate level.

3 Use the / (cursor up/down) buttons to adjust the speaker levels in turn.

You should hear the test tone at the same volume from each speaker when seated in the main listening position. The channel level range is ± 10 dB.

4 When you're done, press ENTER to exit test tone setup.

Note

See About the listening modes on page 11 for more on using the different listening modes with each speaker setup.

Chapter 4

More tuner features: RDS

U.K. model only

An introduction to RDS

Radio Data System (RDS) is a system used by most 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.

One feature of RDS is that you can search by type of program. For example, you can search for a station that's broadcasting a show with the program type, JAZZ.

You can search the following program types:

NEWS - News

AFFAIRS - Current Affairs

INFO - General Information

SPORT-Sport

EDUCATE - Educational

DRAMA - Radio plays, etc.

CULTURE - National or regional culture, theater, etc.

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

LIGHT M - 'Light' classical music

CLASSICS - 'Serious' classical music

OTHER M - Music not fitting above categories

WEATHER - Weather reports

FINANCE - Stock market reports, commerce, trading, etc.

CHILDREN - Programs for children

SOCIAL - Social affairs

RELIGION - Programs concerning religion

PHONE IN - Public expressing their views by phone

TRAVEL - Holiday-type travel rather than traffic announcements

LEISURE - Leisure

interests and hobbies

JAZZ-Jazz

COUNTRY - Country music

NATION M - Popular music in a language other than English

OLDIES - Popular music from the '50s and '60s

FOLK M - Folk music

DOCUMENT - Documentary

Displaying RDS information

Use the DISPLAY button to display the different types of RDS information available.2

- Press DISPLAY for RDS information.

Each press changes the display as follows:

• Radio Text (RT) - Messages sent by the radio station. For example, a talk radio station may provide a phone number as RT.
• Program Service Name (PS) - The name of the radio station.
• Program Type (PTY) - This indicates the kind of program currently being broadcast.
  SEARCH-PTY search (see below)
• Current tuner frequency

Searching for RDS programs

You can search for a program type listed above.

1 Press the TUNER button for the FM band.3
2 Press DISPLAY repeatedly until SEARCH appears in the display.
3 Use / (cursor left/right) to select the program type you want to hear.
4 Press ENTER to start the search.

The system searches the station presets for a match. If it finds one, searching stops for 5 sec.

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

If you don't press ENTER, searching resumes.

Note

1 In addition, there are three other program types, TEST, ALARM, and NONE. ALARM and TEST are used for emergency announcements. You can't search for these, but the tuner will switch automatically to this RDS broadcast signal. NONE appears when a program type cannot be found.

2 - If any noise is picked up while displaying the RT scroll, some characters may be displayed incorrectly.
- If you see NO RADIO TEXT DATA in the RT display, it means no RT data is sent from the broadcast station. The display will automatically switch to the PS data display (if no PS data, the frequency is displayed).
- In the PTY display, NO DATA or NONE may be shown. In this case, the PS display is shown after a few seconds.

3 RDS is only possible in the FM band.

About DivX® VOD content

In order to play DivX VOD (video on demand) content on this player, you first need to register the player with your DivX VOD content provider. You do this by generating a DivX VOD registration code, which you submit to your provider.¹

Important

• DivX VOD content is protected by a DRM (Digital Rights Management) system. This restricts playback of content to specific, registered devices.
• If you load a disc that contains DivX VOD content not authorized for your player, the message Authorization Error is displayed and the content will not play.

Displaying your DivX VOD registration code

1 Press HOME MENU and select 'Initial Settings'.

2 Select 'Options', then 'DivX VOD'.

3 Select 'Display'.

Your 8-digit registration code is displayed.

Make a note of the code as you will need it when you register with a DivX VOD provider.

Playing DivX® VOD content

Some DivX VOD content may only be playable a fixed number of times. When you load a disc containing this type of DivX VOD content, the remaining number of plays is shown on-screen and you then have the option of playing the disc (thereby using up one of the remaining plays), or stopping. If you load a disc that contains expired DivX VOD content (for example, content that has zero remaining plays), the message Rental Expired is displayed.

If your DivX VOD content allows an unlimited number of plays, then you may load the disc into your player and play the content as often as you like, and no message will be displayed.

Using and taking care of discs

DVD Video regions

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

Handling discs

Hold the disc by its edges when handling so as not to leave fingerprints, dirt or scratches on either side of the disc. Damaged or dirty discs can affect playback performance.

If a disc becomes marked with fingerprints, dust, etc., clean using a soft, dry cloth.

Wipe lightly from the center of the disc using straight strokes. Don't wipe the disc surface with 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 such as those designed for cleaning vinyl records.

Storing discs

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 sharp-tipped writing instrument. These could all damage the disc.

Discs to avoid

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

This unit is designed for use with conventional, fully circular discs only. Pioneer disclaims all liability arising in connection with the use of shaped discs.

Installation and maintenance

Hints on installation

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

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 system unit.
× Place on an unstable surface, or one that is not large enough to support all four of the system 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 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 performance. Leave it to adjust to the warmer temperature for about an hour before switching on.

Moving the system unit

If you need to move the main unit, first remove a disc if there's one in the player, then press STANDBY/ON on the front panel to turn the system 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 high speeds and may damage.

Screen sizes and disc formats

DVD-Video discs come in different screen aspects, ranging from TV programs, which are generally 4:3, to CinemaScope widenscreen movies¹, with an aspect ratio of up to about 7:3. Televisions also come in different aspect ratios; 'standard' 4:3 and widenscreen 16:9.²

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

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

TV system setting

The default setting of this system is AUTO, and unless you notice that the picture is distorted when playing some discs, you should leave it set to AUTO. If you find picture distortion with some discs, set the TV system to match your country or region's system. However, this may restrict the kinds of disc you can watch. See the table for the kinds of discs compatible with each setting (AUTO, PAL and NTSC).³

1 Switch the unit into standby, then press SHIFT+SYSTEM SETUP.

2 Use / (cursor left/right) to choose TV SYS then press ENTER.

The TV system changes as follows:

• AUTO NTSC
• NTSC PAL
• PAL AUTO

The system automatically switches on and you'll see the new TV system setting in the display after seeing WELCOME.4

Disc Type	Format	Player setting
		NTSC	PAL	AUTO
DVD/Super VCD/ Video CD/DivX Video	NTSC	NTSC	PAL	NTSC
	PAL	NTSC	PAL	PAL
CD/MP3/WMA/ JPEG/no disc	—	NTSC	PAL	NTSC or PAL

Frequency step setting

Australian model only

If you find that you can't tune into stations successfully, the frequency step may not be suitable for your country/region.

1 Switch the unit into standby, then press SHIFT+SYSTEM SETUP.
2 Use / (cursor left/right) to choose AM 9K/10K then press ENTER.
3 Use / (cursor up/down) to select AM 9K or AM 10K then press ENTER.

Note

1 Many widescen discs override the system's settings so that the disc is shown in letterbox format regardless of the setting. 2 Using the 16:9 (Wide) setting with a standard 4:3 TV, or one of the 4:3 settings with a widscreen TV, will result in distortion.
- 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.
Some movie aspect ratios are wider than 16:9, so even with a wide-screen TV, these discs will still play in a 'letterbox' style. 3 Most models of the newly developed countdown PAL TV system detect 50Hz (PAL)/60 Hz (NTSC) and automatically switch vertical amplitude, resulting in a display without vertical shrinkage. However, in some cases, the image may appear without color. If your PAL TV does not have a V-Hold control, you may not be able to watch NTSC discs because of picture roll. If the TV has a V-Hold control, adjust it until the picture stops rolling. On some TVs, the picture may shrink vertically, leaving black bands at the top and bottom of the screen.
4 You have to switch the player into standby (press STANDBY/ON) before each change.

Troubleshooting

Incorrect operations are often mistaken for trouble and malfunctions. If you think that there is something wrong with this component, check the points below. Sometimes the trouble may lie in another component. Investigate the other components and electrical appliances being used. If the trouble cannot be rectified even after exercising the checks listed below, ask your nearest Pioneer authorized service center or your dealer to carry out repair work.

• If the system does not operate normally due to external effects such as static electricity disconnect the plug from the outlet and insert again to return to normal operating conditions.

Wall-mounting the front and surround speaker system

Attaching the brackets

• Make sure to tighten the supplied screw as securely as possible when attaching the bracket to the back of the speaker.
• Please do not attach the brackets to the center speaker.
• Please do not attach the brackets to the tall front speakers supplied with the following speaker systems: S-DV340ST.

Before mounting

• Remember that the speaker system is heavy and that its weight could cause the wood screws to work loose, or the wall material to fail to support it, resulting in the speaker falling. Make sure that the wall on which you intend to mount the speakers is strong enough to support them. Do not mount on plywood or soft surface walls.
• Mounting screws are not supplied. Use screws that are suitable for the wall material and that will support the weight of the speaker.

Note

• If you are unsure of the qualities and strength of the walls, consult a professional for advice.
• Pioneer is not responsible for any accidents or damage that result from improper installation.
