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 Associations Consumer Electronics Group recommend you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise. This list of sound levels is included for your protection. Decibel Level Example Quiet library, soft whispers Living room, refrigerator, bedroom away from traffic Light traffic, normal conversation, quiet office Air conditioner at 20 feet, sewing machine Vacuum cleaner, hair dryer, noisy restaurant Average city traffic, garbage disposals, alarm clock at two feet.
Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit youve just purchased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now its time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Associations 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.

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

If the AC plug of this unit does not match the AC outlet you want to use, the plug must be removed and appropriate one fitted. Replacement and mounting of an AC plug on the power supply cord of this unit should be performed only by qualified service personnel. If connected to an AC outlet, the cut-off plug can cause severe electrical shock. Make sure it is properly disposed of after removal. The equipment should be disconnected by removing the mains plug from the wall socket when left unused for a long period of time (for example, when D3-4-2-2-1a_A_En on vacation).

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 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. S002_En

VENTILATION CAUTION

When installing this unit, make sure to leave space around the unit for ventilation to improve heat radiation (at least 5 cm at top, 10 cm at rear, and 5 cm at each side).
Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation to ensure reliable operation of the product, and to protect it from overheating. To prevent fire hazard, the openings should never be blocked or covered with items (such as newspapers, table-cloths, curtains) or by operating the D3-4-2-1-7b_A_En equipment on thick carpet or a bed.

CAUTION The POWER switch on this unit will not completely shut off all power from the AC outlet. Since the power cord serves as the main disconnect device for the unit, you will need to unplug it from the AC outlet to shut down all power. Therefore, make sure the unit has been installed so that the power cord can be easily unplugged from the AC outlet in case of an accident. To avoid fire hazard, the power cord should also be unplugged from the AC outlet when left unused for a long period of time (for example, when D3-4-2-2-2a_A_En on vacation).

Features

Quick response power supply circuit The superior power supply circuit adopted by this unit achieves vastly improved response by employing no feedback circuitry and low impedance parallel main capacitors characteristicly used in professional audio monitoring. Low jitter clock This unit provides extremely stable, low jitter clock streams through the use of an integrated circuit with a high performance oscillator. Legato Link Conversion Pro and Hi-Bit Pioneer's unique Legato Link Conversion system restores high-frequency dynamics lost in the digital recording process, to fully reproduce all the shading and detail of the original musical performance. This results in a minimum amount of phase shift across the entire hearable audio spectrum. Twin D/A converter 192 kHz/24-bit The on-board Twin Burr Brown 192 kHz/24-bit DAC means that this player is fully capable of delivering exceptional sound quality in terms of dynamic range, low-level resolution and highfrequency detail. Pure Audio listening The Pure Audio feature allows you to listen to analog audio sources with the digital outputs disabled, and the front panel display switched off. Fine-tuned to world-class standards With the cooperation of the world-class studio engineers at AIR Studios, this player has been AIR Studios certified.

Connecting up

Chapter 2
Connecting to an amplifier
You can connect this player to your amplifier or receiver using the analog outputs or one of the digital outputs. If you connect using one of the digital outputs, you should also connect the 2 channel analog outputs for compatibility with all discs. 1 Connect the analog LINE OUT jacks on this player to a set of analog audio inputs on your amplifier.

Amplifier or receiver

For a coaxial connection, use a coaxial cable (not supplied) to connect the COAXIAL DIGITAL OUT jack to a coaxial input on your amplifier. Note that SACD audio is not output through these jacks, so this connection should be in addition to, rather than instead of, an analog connection.
Using the remote sensor of another Pioneer component
Many Pioneer components have SR CONTROL jacks which can be used to link components together. This allows you to use the remote sensor of just one component, which is useful if you want to put several components out of view (for example, in a closed shelf space). When you use a remote control, the control signal is passed along the chain to the appropriate component.1 Note that if you use this feature, make sure that you also have at least one set of analog audio jacks connected to another component for grounding purposes.

Hints on installation

We want you to enjoy using this product for years to come, so please use the following guidelines when choosing a suitable location:
Taking care of your player and discs

General

Hold discs by the edge or by the center hole and edge. When you're not using a disc, return it to its case and store upright. Avoid leaving discs in excessively cold, humid, or hot environments (including under direct sunlight). Don't glue paper or put stickers on to discs. Do not use a pencil, ball-point pen or other sharptipped writing instrument to write on the disc.
Use in a well-ventilated room. Place on a solid, flat, level surface, such as a table, shelf or stereo rack.
Use in a place exposed to high temperatures or humidity, including near radiators and other heat-generating appliances. Place on a window sill or a place where the player 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 interferenceespecially if the television uses an indoor antenna. Use in a kitchen or other room where the player may be exposed to smoke or steam. Use on a thick rug or carpet, or cover with cloththis may prevent proper cooling of the unit. Place on an unstable surface, or one that is not large enough to support all four of the units feet.
Dont use self-adhesive disc labels on discs as these can cause the disc to warp slightly during playback causing distortion in the picture and/or sound.

Damaged and shaped discs

Do not use cracked, chipped, warped, or otherwise damaged discs as they may damage the player.
This player is designed to be used only with conventional, fully circular discs. Do not use shaped discs. Pioneer disclaims all liability arising in connection with the use of shaped discs.

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. We do not recommend using commercially available lens cleaners for CD players.

Cleaning discs

Fingerprints and dust on discs can affect playback performance. Clean using a soft, dry cloth, wiping the disc lightly from the center to the outside edge as shown below.

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. Leave it to adjust to the warmer temperature for about an hour before switching on.
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, including products designed for cleaning vinyl records.

Moving the player

If you need to move the player, first switch the unit into standby (press on the remote), then unplug the power cable. Never lift or move the unit during playbackdiscs rotate at a high speed and may be damaged.
Cleaning the units exterior
Unplug the unit before cleaning. Use a dry cloth to wipe off dust and dirt. If the surfaces are very dirty, wipe with a soft cloth dipped in some neutral cleanser diluted five or six times with water and wrung out well, then wipe again with a dry cloth. Do not use furniture wax or cleaners. Never use thinners, benzine or insecticide sprays or other chemicals on or near this unit. If you use a chemical-impregnated cleaning cloth, read the instructions carefully before use. These cloths may leave smear marks on half-mirror finish surfaces; if this happens, finish with a dry cloth.

Troubleshooting

Incorrect operation is often mistaken for trouble or malfunction. If you think that there is something wrong with this component, check the points below. Sometimes the trouble may lie in another component. Inspect the other components and electrical appliances being used. If the trouble cannot be rectified after checking the items below, ask your nearest Pioneer authorized service center or your dealer to carry out repair work.
Problem The disc wont play or is automatically ejected after loading. Remedy Make sure the disc is free from dirt and dust and is not damaged (page 16). Check Disc / content format playback compatibility on page 8 to confirm that the disc is compatible with this player. Make sure the disc is loaded with the label side face-up and aligned properly in the disc tray guide. Condensation inside the player: Allow time for condensation to evaporate. Avoid using the player near an air-conditioning unit. The remote control is too far from the player, or the angle with the remote sensor is too wide: Use the remote within its operating range (page 12). If you're trying to switch on using the remote control, make sure the front panel POWER button is switched on first. The battery is exhausted: Replace the lithium battery (page 7). Check that the disc is not damaged, and free from dust and dirt (page 16). Check that all interconnects are firmly inserted. Check that the plugs and terminals are free of dirt, oxide, etc. and clean if necessary. Also check the cable for damage. Make sure the player's output is not connected to the amplifier's phono (turntable) inputs. Check your amplifier/receivers settings (volume, input function, speaker settings, etc.). Make sure that Pure Audio feature is switched off (page 15). SACDs do not output digital audio. The signal is heard through the players analog audio outputs. This is due to differences in the audio format and is not a malfunction. This player is not compatible with multichannel audio. If you have switched the unit off (using the front panel POWER button) for more than 30 days, all settings will be erased.

The remote control doesn't seem to work.
No audio, or audio is distorted.
The analog audio is OK, but there appears to be no digital audio signal. Noticeable difference in SACD and CD volume. Cannot play multichannel audio. Settings are erased.
Note Static electricity or other external influences may cause malfunctioning of this unit. In this case, unplug the power cord and then plug back in. This will usually reset the unit for proper operation. If this does not correct the problem, please consult your nearest Pioneer service center.
