HTS.book 9

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 tracks 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 six 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 system will automatically decode Dolby Digital, DTS, or Dolby Surround DVD-Video discs, according to your speaker setup. In most cases, you wont have to make changes for realistic surround sound, but other possibilities (like listening to a CD with multichannel surround sound) are explained in Home theater sound on page 30.

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. Why cant I hear DVD-Audio and SACD audio through the digital outputs? DVD-Audio and SACD audio is only available through the analog outputs. This is not a malfunction. My DVD-Audio disc starts playing, but then suddenly stops! The disc may have been illegally copied.

English Italiano

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 80. 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 79. 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 79 for information on cleaning discs. If a disc loaded correctly wont play, its probably an incompatible format or disc type, such as DVD-ROM. See General disc compatibility on page 9 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.

DVD disc menus

Many DVD-Video and DVD-Audio discs contain menus from which you can select what you want to watch or listen to. 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 menus are displayed automatically when you start playback; others only appear when you press DVD MENU or TOP MENU.
Some DVD-Audio discs feature a bonus group. To access this group you have to input a password which you can find on the disc packaging. See page 70 for more information.

Video CD PBC menus
Some Video CDs have menus from which you can choose what you want to watch. These are called PBC (Playback control) menus. You can play a PBC Video CD without having to navigate the PBC menu by starting playback using a number button to select a track, rather than (play) (or on the top panel).

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 playeryou could end up damaging the unit.
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.
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 interferenceespecially 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 cloththis may prevent proper cooling of the system. Place on an unstable surface, or one that is not large enough to support all four of the units feet.

HTS.book 82

Cleaning the pickup lens
The DVD 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 are commercially available, we do not recommend using them since some may damage the lens.

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. 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.
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.

Moving the system unit

If you need to move the main unit, first remove a disc if theres 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 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.

If you have a widescreen TV, the TV Screen setting (page 64) 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 65) allow you to set your prefered language from any of the 136 languages listed in the Language code list on page 89. 1 Select Other Language.

Standard TV users

If you have a standard TV, the TV Screen setting (page 64) 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.

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.

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. The on-screen display shows which channels are active, for example showing 3/2.1. The 3 being the two front channels and the center channel; the 2 being the surround channels, and the.1 being the LFE channel.

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).
Dolby Pro Logic / Pro Logic II
Bonus Group (DVD-Audio only)
An extra group on some DVD-Audio discs that requires a key number to access. See also Bonus Group on page 70. A matrix decoding system that extracts 4.1 (Dolby Pro Logic) or 5.1 (Dolby Pro Logic II) channel surround sound from a two channel source.
Browsable pictures (DVD-Audio only)
A feature of some DVD-Audio discs in which the user can browse still pictures recorded on the disc as the audio is played. See also Slideshow.
