Placing the wireless speaker
For best surround sound, make sure to place the wireless speaker directly behind the center of the listening position and no higher than ear level. Also, make sure you dont move the wireless speaker too far behind the listening position or you will lose much of the surround sound effect. For a greater surround sound effect from the wireless speaker, see Setting the channel levels on page 59 to increase the surround channel levels.

Welcome to Pioneer DVD!

Thank you for purchasing this Pioneer DVD player.
Before using, please take a little time to setup your DVD player Put the batteries into the remote control Next, press the [ENTER] button on the remote control and start the Let's Get Started Menu
1 Press STANDBY/ON (on the remote or on the front panel) to switch the system on. Also make sure that your TV is switched on and that the video input is set to this system.

You may find with some DVD discs that some playback controls dont work in certain parts of the disc. This is not a malfunction. Track skip and number buttons for track selection do not work with unfinalized CDR/RW discs.
Using the front panel controls
The OPEN/CLOSE, DVD/CD, FM/AM and (stop) buttons on the front panel work the same way as the remote control equivalents.

Resume and Last Memory

When you stop playback of a DVD or Video CD disc, Resume is shown in the display indicating that you can resume playback again from that point. If the disc tray is not opened, the next time you start playback the display shows Resume and playback resumes from the resume point. For DVD discs only: If you take the disc out of the player, the play position is stored in memory. When you load the disc next time, the display shows Last Mem and you can resume playback (this works for up to five discs). If you want to clear the resume/last memory point, press (stop) while Resume or Last Mem is displayed.
FOLDER +/ Skips to the next/previous folder when playing an WMA/MP3 disc. Numbers If the disc is stopped, playback starts from the selected title (for DVD) or track number (for CD/ Video CD/Super VCD/WMA/ MP3) after a few seconds (or after pressing ENTER). If the disc is playing, playback jumps to the start of the selected chapter or track after a few seconds (or after pressing ENTER).
When a Video CD is loaded, the Resume point is lost if the system is switched off, or switched to a function other than DVD (CD). For the Last Memory function to work, you must press (stop) to stop playback before opening the disc tray.

HTS.book 26

The Last Memory function doesnt work with VR format DVD-RW discs.

DVD-Video disc menus

Many DVD-Video discs contain menus from which you can select what you want to watch. They may give access to additional features, such as subtitle and audio language selection, or special features such as slideshows. See the disc packaging for details. Sometimes DVD-Video menus are displayed automatically when you start playback; others only appear when you press DVD MENU or TOP MENU.
After I load a DVD disc, it ejects automatically after a few seconds! Most likely, the disc is the wrong region for your system. The region number should be printed on the disc; check it against the region number of the system (which you can find on the rear panel). See also DVD Video regions on page 77. 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 Using and taking care of discs on page 76. Why wont the disc I loaded play? First check that you loaded the disc the right way up (label side up), and that its clean and not damaged. See Using and taking care of discs on page 76 for information on cleaning discs. If a disc loaded correctly wont play, its probably an incompatible format or disc type, such as DVD-Audio or DVD-ROM. See General disc compatibility on page 8 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 system 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 system, so even if you have 4:3 (Pan & Scan) selected, those discs will still be shown in letterbox format. This is not a malfunction.

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 wont 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.
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.
Wireless speaker system AC adaptor and power cord caution
Do not leave the power cord near heating equipment. The coating of the cord may melt, which could lead to fire and/or electrocution. Make sure to grasp the body of the AC adaptor when removing it from the power outlet. If you pull the power cord, it may become damaged which could lead to fire and/or electrocution. Do not attempt to plug in or remove the AC adaptor with wet hands. This may result in electrocution. Insert the prongs of the AC adaptor all the way into the power outlet. If the connection is incomplete, heat may be generated which could lead to fire. Furthermore, contact with the connected prongs of the adaptor may result in electrocution. Do not insert the AC adaptor into a power outlet where the connection remains loose despite inserting the prongs all the way into the outlet. Heat may be generated which could lead to fire. Consult with the retailer or an electrician regarding replacement of the power outlet. Even when not in use, the fan in the wireless speaker will continue to operate. Switching off the wireless speaker when not in use will increase product life.

Moving the system unit

Wait for Good Bye to disappear from the display, then unplug the power cable. Never lift or move the unit during playbackdiscs rotate at a high speed and may be damaged.
Unplugging the unit before Good Bye disappears from the display may cause the system to return to the factory settings.

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 an electric shock. Do not place this 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 a fire or give you an electrical shock.

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.
Set to 4:3 (Pan&Scan), widescreen discs are shown with the left and right sides cropped. Although the picture looks larger, you dont actually see the whole picture.

Widescreen TV users

If you have a widescreen TV, the TV Screen setting (page 62) of this system 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.
Please note that many widescreen discs override the systems 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.
Selecting languages using the language code list
Some of the language options (see Language settings on page 64) allow you to set your prefered language from any of the 136 languages listed in the Language code list on page 85. 1 Select Other Language.

Standard TV users

If you have a standard TV, the TV Screen setting (page 62) of this system 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.

SAFETY INFORMATION

This service manual is intended for qualified service technicians ; it is not meant for the casual doit-yourselfer. Qualified technicians have the necessary test equipment and tools, and have been trained to properly and safely repair complex products such as those covered by this manual.Improperly performed repairs can adversely affect the safety and reliability of the product and may void the warranty. If you are not qualified to perform the repair of this product properly and safely, you should not risk trying to do so and refer the repair to a qualified service technician.
WARNING ! THE AEL (ACCESSIBLE EMISSION LEVEL) OF THE LASER POWER OUTPUT IS LESS THAN CLASS 1 BUT THE LASER COMPONENT IS CAPABLE OF EMITTING RADIATION EXCEEDING THE LIMIT FOR CLASS 1. A SPECIALLY INSTRUCTED PERSON SHOULD DO SERVICING OPERATION OF THE APPARATUS.
LASER DIODE CHARACTERISTICS FOR DVD : MAXIMUM OUTPUT POWER : 5 mW WAVELENGTH : 650 nm FOR CD : MAXIMUM OUTPUT POWER : 7 mW WAVELENGTH : 780 nm

LABEL CHECK

VRW1872
Additional Laser Caution 1. Laser Interlock Mechanism Loading switch (S101 on the LOAB Assy) is used for interlock mechanism of the laser. When this switch turned ON in SW2 (CLOSE) side (OPEN signal is 0V and CLOSE signal is 3.5V), a laser becomes the status which can completely oscillation. Furthermore, the laser completely oscillates in the disc judgment and disc playback. When player is power ON state and laser diode is not completely oscillating, 780nm laser diode is always oscillating by half power. Laser diode is driving with Q201 (650nm LD) and Q211 (780nm LD) on the DVDM Assy. Therefore, when short-circuit between the emitter and collector of these transistors or the base voltage is supplied for transistors turn on, the laser oscillates. (failure mode) In the test mode , there is the mode that the laser oscillates except for the disc judgment and playback. LD ON mode in the test mode oscillates with the laser forcibly. The interlock mechanism mentioned above becomes invalid in this mode. 2. When the cover is open, close viewing through the objective lens with the naked eye will cause exposure to the laser beam.

Initialization routine

Microcomputer initialization
Microcomputer IC (PDC104A) (CONTROL Assy : IC5501)

Model identification

The inputs to Pins 15 and 16 are inspected and the model identification is performed.
Demonstration mode permission Yes
No Whether Demonstration mode is entered or not can be determined by inspecting the backup data. The default setting is "Demonstration mode OK."

Demonstration mode

Standby setting

Main loop processing

Demonstration mode ?

Standby

Yes : Power ON

System power supply on

The level of the POWER terminal (Pin 91) is "H".
DVD microcomputer start-up
Only in DVD function, the level of the DVD RESET terminal (Pin 93) is "H".

Relay release

The speaker relay is turned on about four seconds after the power is turned on. The level at the RELAY ON/OFF terminal (Pins 34 and 35) are "H." The conditions are different depending on whether the headphones are connected via the Headphones jack, or on the DPS mode. The system mute is released about four seconds after the power is turned on. The level of the SYSMUTE terminal (Pin 94) is "H". Muting is not released in the following cases. When the main volume is 0. When the digital LINE 2 function input signal is not locked, or when the DSP MUTE terminal (Pin 87) is in error.
Demonstration mode or Normal power ON mode
If no pulse is input to the AC terminal (Pin 4) for about 60 msec when the microcomputer is in Memory Backup mode, it will not do any processing. The unit will recover from Memory Backup mode if a reset command is input to the XRESET terminal (Pin 8).
7.1.11 PROTECTION CIRCUIT
If the TIMER LED on the front panel flashes, check the protection circuit. Note: If the protection circuit activates, the unit will not recover for 60 seconds even if the AC power cord is disconnected then reconnected. If you activate Service Test mode, the protection circuit becomes invalid, which makes diagnosis easy. (To activate Service Test mode, while connecting STEST port (IC5501 Pin43) to "+5V", connect AC power cord.) There are three types of operations for the protection circuit, which are indicated on the FL display when Service Test mode is entered: PRTCT WNG: The unit was shut down because of an abnormality in the AMP system. (The PROTECT line operates at the MID level.) PRTCT ERR: The unit was shut down because of a failure in the AMP system. (The PROTECT line operates at the LO level.) DVD PRTECT: The unit was shut down because of a failure in the DVD system. (The VDET line operates at the HI or LO level.)
Conditions for the protect circuit operations

Voltage

If VFDP is short-circuited to GND, or if the DC electric potential at FL AC1 becomes GND level (in Normal mode: about -27 V) because of a failure in the DC bias circuit of FL AC1, Q114 then Q115 are turned on, and the level of XPROTECT becomes low. The microcomputer detects the XPROTECT level and shuts the power to the unit off.
(1) When VH+(VP+15) is short-circuited to GND As the voltage at Point B becomes almost ground potential, and Q101 (Q103) (E, C, B) then Q102 (Q104) (E, C, B) are turned on, the level of XPROTECT becomes low. The microcomputer detects the XPROTECT level and shuts the power to the unit off. (2) When VH-(VA-12) is short-circuited As the electric potential of VE at Q102 (Q104) (E2, C2, B2) becomes the same as that at VB, Q102 (Q104) (E2, C2, B2) is turned off. Following this, Q101 (Q103) (E2, B2, C2) is turned off, which changes the voltage at Points A and B to a value other than 5 V. Therefore, Q101 (Q103) (E, C, B) then Q102 (Q104) (E, C, B) are turned on, the level of XPROTECT becomes low. (3) When VD+5 is short-circuited The level of the XPROTECT line becomes low. The microcomputer detects the XPROTECT level and shuts the power to the unit off. 2 -2 Short-circuit-detection circuit for the DVD power supply (VP+8)

If no fan is connected between FAN+ and FAN-, or when the fan cannot rotate because of a foreign object caught in the blades, the BASE of Q3652 becomes OPEN, and Q3652 and Q3651-1/2 (E, C, B) are turned off. Then Q3651-2/2 (E2, B2, C2) is turned on, and the level of XPROTECT becomes low. The microcomputer detects the XPROTECT level and shuts the power to the unit off. When FAN+ and FAN- are short-circuited, the electric potential at Point A becomes higher than GND level by the addition of the values at D3656 and D3657. As this value is lower than that at D3658, Q3651 (E, C, B) is turned off, Q3651 (E2, B2, C2) is turned on, and the level of XPROTECT becomes low.
