You can adjust the level of each channel by 10 dB. You can adjust the overall volume of test tone output using the VOL +/ buttons (this does not affect the channel level settings). Because of the ultra low frequencies the subwoofer produces, it may sound quieter than it really is. We suggest adjusting the subwoofer level while listening to a source. See the method described in Channel level setting on page 37. 3 ENTER Press to exit test tone setup once you have finished. If you use the Auto MCACC feature again, it will overwrite the settings you have made here.

Some Dolby Digital and DTS audio sources include ultralow bass tones. Set the LFE attenuator as necessary to prevent the ultralow bass tones from distorting the sound from the speakers. The LFE is not limited when set to 0dB, which is the recommended value. When set to -5dB, -10dB, -15dB or -20dB, the LFE is limited by the respective degree. When Off is selected, no sound is output from the LFE channel.

Note 1 You cannot change the CH, Date, Start, Stop, Extend and title name when you have EPG Link set to On (see below). 2 For a DVD timer recording, if Optimized Rec (see Optimized Rec on page 157) is set to On (and VPS/PDC is off), the recorder will adjust the recording quality to try and fit the recording on the disc. If the recording will not fit onto the disc even on MN1 recording quality (MN4 for DVD+R/+RW) then the Recovery Recording feature will automatically make the recording to the HDD instead. If there is very little free space left on the HDD, an Auto Replace Recording may not complete successfully. If the HDD is being used for playback or high-speed copying when an Auto Replace Recording is due to start, the new timer recording will not replace the old one. However, the next time the timer recording starts, both of the older two programmes will be erased. 3 This mode maximizes the recording quality to fit on to a single DVD disc. Can also be used when recording to HDD. 4 If you set the timer recording to use VPS/PDC, you must switch the recorder into standby before the timer recording is due to start for it to work correctly. For non-VPS/PDC timer recordings there is no need to switch the recorder into standby. Optimized Recording will not work if VPS/PDC is on. Up to eight timer recordings can be set with VPS/PDC. VPS/PDC cannot be set for recordings made from digital broadcasts or an external input, or when the recording mode is set to AUTO. 5 You cannot set an EPG Link when recording mode is set to AUTO. You cannot change the CH, Date, Start, Stop, Extend and title name when you have EPG Link set to On. When you have EPG Link set to On and you set a timer recording for a programme that is divided into multiple parts, all parts of that icon, with programme are recorded automatically. In the programme list, the earliest part of the programme to be recorded has a red successive parts indicated by a gray icon. Data provided by the broadcaster determines which programmes are classified as divided programmes. 6 In the programme list, the earliest programme to be recorded has a red icon, with successive programmes indicated by a gray icon.

When copying HDD titles to DVD, you can, however, edit the titles in your copy list, erasing chapters you dont need, or re-naming titles, for example. Edits you make to titles in the Copy List do not affect the actual video content; only the virtual content of the Copy List. So you can freely erase and modify anything in your Copy List safe in the knowledge that the actual content is not being altered.

The Copy List is erased if the Input Line System setting is changed (see Additional information about the TV system settings on page 161). Resetting the recorder to its factory settings (see Resetting the recorder on page 175) will erase the Copy List. Load a recordable DVD. It is possible to complete the following steps without having a recordable DVD loaded (or having an uninitialized DVD loaded); however, the steps are slightly different. If you want to use a DVD-RW (VR mode) disc for the copy, make sure it is initialized before you start.
Select Copy from the Home Menu.
Note 1 In manual recording mode these equate to MN1 to MN15 (Video Mode Off) or MN1 to MN8 (Video Mode On).

LINE TEST MCACC TONE SOUND SLEEP EXIT
Try to be as quiet as possible after pressing MCACC. The volume increases automatically and the system outputs a series of test tones. To cancel Auto MCACC setup before it has finished, press MCACC. The unit will continue to use the previous settings. If the ambient noise level is too high, Noisy! blinks in the display for five seconds. To exit and check the noise levels, press MCACC, or to try again, press ENTER when Retry shows in the display. If you see an Error MIC! or Error Speaker! message in the display, there may be a problem with your mic or the speaker connections. To try again, press ENTER. (If this doesnt work, press MCACC, turn off the power, and check the problem indicated by the Error message, then try the Auto MCACC setup again.) When the MCACC setup is complete, the volume level returns to normal, Complete shows in the display, and MCACC Effect is activated. (See Listening with MCACC Effect on page 33 to switch on/off MCACC Effect.) Be sure to disconnect the microphone from this unit upon completion of the Auto MCACC setup. Note If the room environment is not optimal for the Auto MCACC setup (too much ambient noise, echo off the walls, obstacles blocking the speakers from the microphone) the final settings may be incorrect. Check for household appliances (air conditioner, fridge, fan, etc.), that may be affecting the environment and switch them off if necessary. Some older TVs may interfere with the operation of the mic. If this seems to be happening, switch off the TV during Auto MCACC setup. If Complete doesnt appear, it is likely an error occurred during the setup. Please check all connections and try again.

Note To temporarily control the receiver while listening to audio from a connected component on this unit, press SYSTEM CONTROL. The selected input will not change, and the remote changes to SYSTEM mode. To return to the previous operating mode, press SYSTEM CONTROL once more.

Dialogue Enhancement Clarifies dialogue in movies to make it stand out from other background sounds. Dynamic Range Compression Resuscitates detailed sound susceptible to ambient noise to create an acoustic environment where you feel as if you are right in the action. Original Channel Balance & Channel Mix Since the orientation of the supplied speaker units is uniquely designed, channels are mixed down and balanced in a special manner. Also, the optimum balance is automatically achieved according to the contents being played back. Frequency Characteristic Correction Realizes the playback characteristic optimized for long hours of listening in addition to the added features of the supplied speaker units. Stereo Playback in Surround Outputs audio from the surround speakers while directing vocal sound to the front channels. You can play back stereo sources like CDs in seamless, comfortable surround sound. This effect is available when you play back stereo sources in the Auto listening mode (see below).

Listening in surround sound

Playback

Press (play) to play the disc.
To pause, press (pause) during playback.
To stop, press (stop) during playback. Note Some discs start playing automatically when the disc tray is closed. DVD-Video discs have parental lock features. Input the password registered in the players settings to unlock the parental lock. For details, see page 87. For some BD-R/-RE, playback protection is set for the disc or titles. Input the code number set for the disc to unlock the protection.

Playing discs or files

This section describes the players main operations. For the types of discs that can be played, see Playable discs on page 58. For the types of files that can be played, see Playable files on page 60. Movie and music files recorded on discs are played with Home Media Gallery (page 75). 1 Press SYSTEM ON to turn on the power. Turn the TVs power on and switch its input beforehand.
If the disc menu is displayed
For some discs, the disc menu is displayed automatically when playback starts. The contents of the disc menu and the way to operate differ from disc to disc.
Resuming playback from where it was stopped (resume playback function)
When (stop) is pressed during playback, the point at which the disc stopped is stored in the memory. When (play) is pressed, playback resumes from that point. For CDs and music files, playback starts from the beginning of the track/file that was playing. To cancel the resume playback function, press (stop) while playback is stopped. Note
2 Press OPEN/CLOSE (LCD page 1) to open the disc tray and load the disc.
The resume playback function is canceled automatically in the following cases: When the disc tray is opened. When the file list window is switched. When the power is turned off. (For BDs and DVDs this does not cancel the resume playback function.) The resume playback function cannot be used for some discs.
Note Load the disc with the printed side facing up. Several dozen seconds are required to read the disc. Once reading is completed, the type of disc is displayed on the players front panel display.

Problem Digital audio signals are not output from the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL) terminals (analog audio signals are output). Noise can be heard when outputting DTS Digital Surround signals. 192 kHz or 96 kHz digital audio signals cannot be output from the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL) terminals. Secondary audio or interactive audio is not output. Sound is fast or slow.

Remedy

Is Audio Out set to audio formats supported by the connected Read the operating instructions of the connected AV receiver AV receiver or amplifier? or amplifier and check the supported audio formats. Set Audio Out properly (page 82).
Is the connected AV receiver or amplifier compatible with DTS If an AV receiver or amplifier that is not compatible with DTS Digital Surround? Digital Surround is connected to the DIGITAL OUT terminal, set DTS Out to DTS PCM. Noise will be heard if DTS Out is set to DTS (page 82). It is not possible to output 192 kHz or 96 kHz digital audio signals from this players DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL) terminals. The signals are automatically converted to under 96 kHz for output. Is HDMI Audio Out properly set? Are Dolby Digital Out and DTS Out properly set? When an HDMI cable is connected, are audio signals being output from devices connected with cables other than HDMI cables? Set HDMI Audio Out to PCM (page 83). Set Dolby Digital Out to Dolby Digital 1, DTS Out to DTS 1 (page 82). When this player is connected by HDMI cable to a Pioneer AV receiver or amplifier compatible with the PQLS function via HDMI connection, the PQLS function is activated when playing a music CD (CD-DA). Because of this, the sound output from components other than the ones connected by HDMI cable may be fast or slow. If this happens, set PQLS to Off (page 83). Check whether the disc is one that can be played on this player (page 58). Check whether the file is one that can be played on this player (page 60). Check whether or not the file is damaged. Files protected by DRM cannot be played (not including DivX VOD files). Erase the BDMV data (page 65).

Place of installation

Select a stable place near the TV and AV system to which the unit is connected. Do not place the player on top of a TV or color monitor. Keep it away from cassette decks or other components easily affected by magnetism. Avoid the following types of places: Places exposed to direct sunlight Humid or poorly ventilated places Extremely hot or cold places Places subject to vibration Dusty places Places exposed to soot, steam or heat (in kitchens, etc.)

Cleaning the player

Normally, wipe the player with a soft cloth. For tough dirt, apply some neutral detergent diluted in 5 to 6 parts water to a soft cloth, wring out thoroughly, wipe off the dirt, then wipe again with a dry cloth. Note that getting alcohol, thinner, benzene or insecticide on the player could cause the print and coating to peel off. Also, avoid leaving rubber or vinyl products in contact with the player for long periods of time, as this could damage the cabinet. When using chemical-impregnated wipes, etc., read the wipes cautions carefully. Unplug the power cord from the power outlet when cleaning the player.
Do not place objects on top
Do not place objects on top of the player.
Do not obstruct the ventilation holes
Do not use the player on a shaggy rug, bed, or sofa, and do not cover the player with a cloth, etc. Doing so will prevent heat dissipation and could lead to damage.
Caution for when the unit is installed in a rack with a glass door
Do not press the OPEN/CLOSE on the remote control to open the disc tray while the glass door is closed. The door will hamper the movement of the disc tray, and the unit could be damaged.

Keep away from heat

Do not place the player on top of an amplifier or other device generating heat. When installing in a rack, to avoid the heat generated by the amplifier and other devices, place it on a shelf below the amplifier whenever possible.

Cleaning the pickup lens

The players 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 players are commercially available, we advise against using them since some may damage the lens.

In other cases, permission to use a particular library in non-free programs enables a greater number of people to use a large body of free software. For example, permission to use the GNU C Library in non-free programs enables many more people to use the whole GNU operating system, as well as its variant, the GNU Linux operating system. Although the Lesser General Public License is Less protective of the users' freedom, it does ensure that the user of a program that is linked with the Library has the freedom and the wherewithal to run that program using a modified version of the Library. The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow. Pay close attention to the difference between a "work based on the library" and a "work that uses the library". The former contains code derived from the library, whereas the latter must be combined with the library in order to run. TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION 0. This License Agreement applies to any software library or other program which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder or other authorized party saying it may be distributed under the terms of this Lesser General Public License (also called "this License"). Each licensee is addressed as "you". A "library" means a collection of software functions and/or data prepared so as to be conveniently linked with application programs (which use some of those functions and data) to form executables. The "Library", below, refers to any such software library or work which has been distributed under these terms. A "work based on the Library" means either the Library or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Library or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated straightforwardly into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term "modification".) "Source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. For a library, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the library. Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running a program using the Library is not restricted, and output from such a program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Library (independent of the use of the Library in a tool for writing it). Whether that is true depends on what the Library does and what the program that uses the Library does. 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's complete source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and distribute a copy of this License along with the Library. You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee. 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Library, and copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: a) The modified work must itself be a software library. b) You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the files and the date of any change. c) You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License. d) If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or a table of data to be supplied by an application program that uses the facility, other than as an argument passed when the facility is invoked, then you must make a good faith effort to ensure that, in the event an application does not supply such function or table, the facility still operates, and performs whatever part of its purpose remains meaningful. (For example, a function in a library to compute square roots has a purpose that is entirely well-defined independent of the application. Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that any application-supplied function or table used by this function must be optional: if the application does not supply it, the square root function must still compute square roots.) These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Library, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Library, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it. Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Library. In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Library with the Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this License. 3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public License instead of this License to a given copy of the Library. To do this, you must alter all the notices that refer to this License, so that they refer to the ordinary GNU General Public License, version 2, instead of to this License. (If a newer version than version 2 of the ordinary GNU General Public License has appeared, then you can specify that version instead if you wish.) Do not make any other change in these notices. Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for that copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies to all subsequent copies and derivative works made from that copy. This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of the Library into a program that is not a library. 4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange. If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place satisfies the requirement to distribute the source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code. 5. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being compiled or linked with it, is called a "work that uses the Library". Such a work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the Library, and therefore falls outside the scope of this License. However, linking a "work that uses the Library" with the Library creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because it contains portions of the Library), rather than a "work that uses the library". The executable is therefore covered by this License. Section 6 states terms for distribution of such executables. When a "work that uses the Library" uses material from a header file that is part of the Library, the object code for the work may be a derivative work of the Library even though the source code is not. Whether this is true is especially significant if the work can be linked without the Library, or if the work is itself a library. The threshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by law. If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data structure layouts and accessors, and small macros and small inline functions (ten lines or less in length), then the use of the object file is unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a derivative work. (Executables containing this object code plus portions of the Library will still fall under Section 6.) Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may distribute the object code for the work under the terms of Section 6. Any executables containing that work also fall under Section 6, whether or not they are linked directly with the Library itself. 6. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also combine or link a "work that uses the Library" with the Library to produce a work containing portions of the Library, and distribute that work under terms of your choice, provided that the terms permit modification of the work for the customer's own use and reverse engineering for debugging such modifications. You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by this License. You must supply a copy of this License. If the work during execution displays copyright notices, you must include the copyright notice for the Library among them, as well as a reference directing the user to the copy of this License. Also, you must do one of these things: a) Accompany the work with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code for the Library including whatever changes were used in the work (which must be distributed under Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work is an executable linked with the Library, with the complete machine-readable "work that uses the Library", as object code and/or source code, so that the user can modify the Library and then relink to produce a modified executable containing the modified Library. (It is understood that the user who changes the contents of definitions files in the Library will not necessarily be able to recompile the application to use the modified definitions.) b) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the Library. A suitable mechanism is one that (1) uses at run time a copy of the library already present on the user's computer system, rather than copying library functions into the executable, and (2) will operate properly with a modified version of the library, if the user installs one, as long as the modified version is interface-compatible with the version that the work was made with. c) Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give the same user the materials specified in Subsection 6a, above, for a charge no more than the cost of performing this distribution.
