1 Before You Start  
Hints on installation  
Discs compatible with this  
system  
We want you to enjoy using this unit for years to come, so  
please bear in mind the following points when choosing a  
suitable location for it:  
Any disc that displays one of the following logos should play  
in this system. Other formats, including DVD-RAM, DVD-  
ROM, DVD-Audio, CD-ROM, SACD and Photo CD will not play.  
Do...  
Use in a well-ventilated room.  
Place on a solid, flat, level surface, such as a table, shelf or  
Single or double sided / Single or double layer.  
Dolby Digital, DTS, MPEG or Linear PCM digital audio.  
MPEG-2 digital video.  
stereo rack.  
Don’t...  
Discs are generally divided into one or more ‘titles’. Titles are  
further subdivided into ‘chapters’.  
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.  
Single sided / Single layer. 12 cm or 8 cm (5" or 3") discs.  
Use in an excessively dusty or damp environment.  
Linear PCM digital audio. (Also compatible with finalized CD-  
Recordable discs.)  
Place directly on top of an amplifier, or other component in  
your stereo system that becomes hot in use.  
Discs are divided into ‘tracks’.  
Use near a television or monitor as you may experience  
interference—especially if the television uses an indoor  
antenna.  
This system can play CD-R and CD-RW discs recorded with  
audio. However, depending on the quality of the initial  
recording, and the condition of the disc, you may find that not  
all discs will play successfully. (For example, if the disc is  
scratched or dirty, or if the player’s pickup lens is dirty.) Some  
CD-R and CD-RW discs may need to be finalized* before  
playing successfully.  
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 unit.  
*
Check with the instruction manual of the recording  
component used to make the CD-R or CD-RW disc for  
finalization procedures.  
Place on an unstable surface, or one that is not large enough  
to support all four of the unit’s feet.  
Avoiding problems with  
condensation  
Condensation may form inside the system 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  
system, 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.  
Single sided / Single layer. 12 cm or 8 cm (5" or 3") discs.  
MPEG-1 digital audio. MPEG-1 digital video. Discs are divided  
into ‘tracks’.  
DVD Video regions  
ALL  
2
Moving the system  
If you need to move the system, first switch it off and unplug  
from the wall outlet. Never lift or move the unit during  
playback—discs rotate at a high speed and may be damaged.  
All DVD Video discs carry a region mark on the case  
somewhere that indicates which region(s) of the world the  
disc is compatible with. Your DVD system also has a region  
mark, which you can find on the rear panel. Discs from  
incompatible regions will not play in this system. Discs  
marked ALL will play in any player.

Setting up for surround sound  
You can use this system right out of the box for surround sound with just the default settings.  
However, for really great surround sound, we recommend that you spend a few minutes making  
some settings that match this system to your listening room. These include setting the distances  
from your listening position to your speakers, and balancing the speaker volumes. Unless you  
change the layout of your speakers or main listening position, you only need to make these  
settings once.

You can further improve surround sound performance by balancing the levels from the  
subwoofer, center and surround speakers relative to the front left/right speakers. To help  
you judge the sound level of each speaker a test tone is played through each speaker in  
turn (make sure that there are no headphones connected). Adjust the levels until they  
all sound equal.  
The levels you set here will apply to all Dolby/DTS modes. However, you can set levels  
independently for each DSP mode.  
Note: it may not be possible to accurately adjust the subwoofer level using this  
method. You may prefer to leave it on its default setting and adjust it to your liking later  
when playing surround-sound sources.  
1
Press SYS then 2/DTS.  
The Dolby/DTS mode can be set to any-thing except SURROUND OFF. (No test tone is  
output if the Dolby/DTS mode is set to SURROUND OFF.)

3
Set the volume to a moderate level.  
Press TEST TONE to start the test tone then adjust the master  
volume to a suitable level.  
The test tone plays through each speaker in turn:  
• Front left  
• Center  
• Front right  
• Surround right  
• Surround left  
• Subwoofer  
4
5
Use the % and buttons to adjust the level of a speaker as the  
test tone plays.  
For best results, sit in your main listening position when doing this. You can adjust each  
speaker in the range of +/-10dB.  
When you're done, press TEST TONE to turn off the test tone.

5 Using the DVD Player  
Bookmarking a place in a disc  
(DVD/Video CD)  
If you watch only part of a DVD disc with the intention of picking up later where you left  
off, you can bookmark the place then resume playback at a later date without having to  
manually search for the right place.  
You can use this feature for up to five discs (after that the oldest bookmark is deleted to  
make space for a new one).  
At the point from which you want to resume playback next time,  
press LAST MEMORY, then stop the disc (7).  
To resume playback, load the disc and press LAST MEMORY. (If  
the disc started auto playback, stop it first.)  
To clear the last memo position of the disc loaded, press LAST  
MEMORY then C (Clear) while Last Memory is displayed on-  
screen.  
Note: Bookmarking also works with Video CD, but for one disc only, and you must  
leave the disc in the system—opening the disc tray erases the memory. Last Memory  
may not work reliably with some PBC Video CDs.  
Memorizing disc settings (DVD only)  
If you have a particular set of preferences for a disc, you can memorize them using the  
Condition Memory function. Once memorized, your settings will be recalled  
automatically whenever you load that disc. The system can store settings for 15 discs;  
after this, memorizing another replaces the oldest one stored.  
The settings memorized are:  
On Screen Display (page 34)  
Subtitle language (page 37)  
Audio language (page 36)  
Video quality (page 35)  
Angle indicator (page 35)  
Parental lock level (page 39)  
To memorize settings for the current disc, press SHIFT then  
CONDITION during playback.  
To recall memorized settings, just load the disc.  
The display shows COND_MEMORY and Condition Memory appears  
on-screen.  
To clear memorized settings, load the disc and press C (Clear)  
while Condition Memory is displayed on-screen.

6 Using the Tuner  
Saving station presets  
If you often listen to a particular radio station, it's convenient to have the receiver store  
the frequency for easy recall whenever you want to listen to that station. This saves the  
effort of manually tuning in each time. This system can save up to 30 station presets.  
When saving FM frequencies, the receiver also saves the mono setting (see page 18).  
1
Tune to a station you want to memorize.  
See Listening to the radio on page 18 for more on how to do this.

3
Press STATION MEMORY.  
Press ST+ or ST– to select a station preset number.  
Alternatively, use the number buttons (use the >10 button for numbers over 10).  
If you use the number buttons, you can skip step 4.  
4
Press STATION MEMORY again to save the station preset.  
Repeat these steps to save up to 30 station presets.  
Listening to station presets  
Having saved up to 30 station presets (see above for how to do this), you can be listening  
to a station with a couple of button presses.

2
Press TUN to switch to the tuner.  
Use ST+ or ST– to select the station preset you want to listen to.  
Alternatively, use the number buttons (use the >10 button for numbers over 10).  
• If the system is left disconnected from the AC power outlet for a lengthy period, the  
station presets will be lost and will have to be re-programed.

TIMER/CLOCK ADJ and start again  
from step 3.  
Once the timer is active, it will switch the  
system on everyday at the set time.

Check the settings you just  
made.  
The display should indicate that you set  
the wake up timer, then show the on time,  
the off time, the function (DVD, etc.), and  
the volume.  
Unlike an ordinary alarm clock, you need  
to set a system switch off time as well as a  
switch on time.

like to wake up to.  
For a disc, press DVD; for the radio press  
TUNER. For an external component, press  
the corresponding button.  
• There is no direct way to edit the timer  
settings. If you see that some timer  
setting is not what you’d intended,  
you’ll need to start the process again  
from the top.  
Load a disc or tune to a radio  
station, then set the volume.  
If you selected an external component,  
make the appropriate timer settings for it.

timer  
settings  
If you’ve set the wake-up timer, you can  
check the settings anytime. Here’s how to  
do it.  
The sleep timer switches the system into  
standby after a specified amount of time so  
that you can fall asleep without worrying  
about the stereo being left on all night. If  
you've also set the wake up timer this is  
important since the wake up timer will  
only work if the system is in standby.

8 Making Recordings  
Making an audio or a video recording  
The following steps show you how to make  
an audio or a video recording from the  
built in tuner, DVD, CD or from an audio  
or video source connected to the system  
(CD player, satellite tuner, etc.). Recordings  
can be made to a recorder connected to the  
AUDIO 1 or VIDEO 1 inputs/outputs.  
Making a digital  
recording  
The system has one optical digital audio  
output (for AUDIO 1). If you want to  
make a digital recording from this system  
hook up this optical output to the optical  
input of your digital recorder. The source  
(CD, DVD, etc.) must be digital also; this  
system doesn’t convert analog inputs to  
digital. If you’re recording from an  
external digital component, also make  
sure that you’ve selected the digital input  
for that component (see page 19).  
The system's volume, balance, bass, treble,  
Midnight and surround sound settings  
have no effect on the recording.  
Notes  
• You can't record a source connected to  
the digital inputs from the analog  
outputs.  
Note: If you want to record DVD disc,  
check that the digital output settings  
correct. See page 36 for detailed  
instructions.  
• You can't record DTS encoded discs  
from the analog outputs.

Select a source to record.  
Use the MULTI CONTROL buttons on the  
remote, or the FUNCTION button  
(remote or front panel) to select the  
source.

10 Advanced Sound Setup  
Advanced sound settings  
This chapter covers advanced settings to further optimize the sound of your system.  
LFE attenuator  
The LFE (low frequency effects) channel carries ultra low bass sound to add weight to  
effects in Dolby Digital and DTS soundtracks. This channel can overload the sub-woofer  
resulting in distortion. Use the LFE attenuator setting to reduce the signal fed to the sub-  
woofer.  
Note: The LFE attenuator only works with sources that contain an LFE channel. It is  
not a general level control for the sub-woofer.  
1
2
Press SYS then SETUP.  
Press the @ or # button until you see LFE ATT in the display.  
3
Use the % and buttons to set the amount of signal reduction.  
There are three settings:  
ATT 0 – default setting (no signal reduction)  
ATT 10 – the LFE channel signal level is reduced to avoid distortion  
OFF – the LFE channel is switched off completely. This may be useful late at night,  
for example.  
4
Press ENTER to make the setting.  
Dynamic Range Control  
The dynamic range of a source is the difference between the quietest and the loudest  
sounds. The dynamic range of Dolby Digital soundtracks can be very great. This makes  
them exciting, but it also means that when you turn the volume down you can easily  
lose quiet dialog. Switch on Dynamic Range Control to even out the soundtrack volume.  
1
2
Press SYS then SETUP.  
Press the @ or # button until you see D.R.C. in the display.  
3
4
Use the % and buttons to sselect a dynamic range setting.  
D.R.C. OFF – default setting (no change to the dynamics)  
D.R.C. LOW – the dynamic range is reduced by a small amount.  
D.R.C. MEDIUM – mid setting  
D.R.C. HIGH – the dynamic range is reduced by a large amount (good for  
listening at very low volume).  
Press ENTER to make the setting.

10 Advanced Sound Setup  
Dual-mono setting  
The dual-mono setting applies only to Dolby Digital discs that feature dual-mono  
material—see the disc box for details.  
Dual-mono discs are recorded with two independent channels that may be played  
together or separately depending on the situation. For example, a guitar tuition disc  
might have the guitar recorded on one channel and all the other instruments on the  
other. Use the dual-mono setting to play just the guitar part on its own; just the backing,  
or everything together (through separate speakers, or mixed).  
1
2
Press SYS then SETUP.  
Press the @ or # button until you see STEREO or DUAL MONO  
in the display.  
3
Use the % and buttons to select a dual-mono setting.  
STEREO – default setting (Ch1 is played through the left speaker; Ch2 through  
the right)  
DualMono Ch1 – Ch1 is played through the center speaker (or through the left  
and right speakers if Surround Off is selected); Ch2 is muted.  
DualMono Ch2 – Ch2 is played through the center speaker (or through the left  
and right speakers if Surround Off is selected); Ch1 is muted.  
DualMono MIX – Ch1 and Ch2 are mixed together and played through the  
center speaker (or through both left and right speakers if Surround Off is selected).

11 Controlling Other Equipment  
Setting up the remote control  
In addition to controlling this system, you can set up the remote to operate other audio/  
visual components, such as your TV, VCR, MD recorder, and so on.  
To set up the remote, often all you need to do is to tell it what component(s) you have  
(see Setting up using component presets below). If you have a component that the  
remote doesn’t know how to control already, you can ‘teach’ it using that component’s  
remote control (see Learning directly from other remote controls on page 45).  
Setting up using component presets  
This method of setting up the remote requires only that you tell it the manufacturer of  
each component. You do this by looking up the type of component (TV, MD deck, etc.),  
and the manufacturer in the Preset code list starting on page 60.  
After setting up, see pages 48 – 52 for how to actually control your other components  
using this remote.  
Note: The correct preset code may not cover all the remote control commands for  
your particular components. Use the learning function to program extra commands  
(see Learning directly from other remote controls on page 45).  
1
2
Switch on the component you are setting up this remote for.  
After you’ve entered the correct code in the steps below, the remote should switch off the  
component.  
Press and hold REMOTE SETUP for three seconds.  
The red LED at the top of the remote blinks twice.  
• To cancel, press REMOTE SETUP again.  
3
Press the MULTI CONTROL button for the component you want  
to control.  
For example, if you want to set up the remote to control your TV, press TV.  
The MULTI CONTROL buttons have different types of components assigned to them by  
default:  
V-1 – analog or digital VCR, DVD,  
DVD-R, LD, DVD/LD player (default: Pioneer VCR, 0058).  
V-2 – Satellite, cable or DTV tuner (default: Pioneer cable TV tuner, 0533).  
A-1 and A-2 – CD player, CD-R recorder, tape deck, MD deck (A-1 default:  
Pioneer CD-R recorder, 1087. A-2 default: Pioneer CD player, 0032).  
TV – television (default: Pioneer TV, 0679).  
You can change these assignments if you need to. For example, if you connected an  
audio component to one of the video inputs/outputs. See page 44 for how to do this.  
4
Look up the preset code for your component.  
You can find this in Preset code list starting on page 60. First find the type of  
component (TV, etc.), then find the manufacturer. Next to each manufacturer is one or  
more 4-digit codes.  
• If you can’t find the manufacturer of your component in the code list, press  
REMOTE SETUP to exit, then see Learning directly from other remote controls  
on page 45 for how to set up the remote using an alternative method.  
• If no button is pressed for more than 10 seconds, remote setup is exited.

5
Point the remote at the component to control and enter the  
4-digit code.  
If there’s more than one code, enter the first one.  
The LED blinks after each button press, and twice to confirm a valid code has been  
input. If it doesn’t blink twice, you have entered an invalid code: check the code and  
input it again.  
If all went well, the remote should have just switched off the other component. If it  
didn’t, and the manufacturer has more than one code in the list, start again from step 1  
using another code.  
Reassigning a MULTI CONTROL button  
You can only assign preset codes for certain kinds of components to each MULTI  
CONTROL button. However, if necessary, you can reassign a MULTI CONTROL  
button to a different kind of component. You would need to do this if you connected an  
MD recorder to the Video 1 inputs/outputs, for example.  
1

press the button again.  
• Some commands from other remote controls cannot be learned, but in most cases  
the remotes just need to be moved closer together or farther apart.  
• If the LED starts to blink slowly, it may mean that no more commands can be learnt.  
If it is necessary to learn another command, first delete another learnt command—  
see the following page.

Connecting to a TV with the  
supplied video cord  
Playing your TV through this  
system  
Important: Before making or changing any rear panel  
connections, switch off the power and disconnect the power  
cord from the AC outlet.  
When watching cable or satellite TV, it’s best to connect the  
cable/satellite box directly to this system, rather than going  
via the TV. However, if you’re watching TV via an antenna  
plugged directly into the back of the TV, then connect your  
TV’s audio outputs to the AUDIO 1 or AUDIO 2 inputs of  
this system to play the TV’s audio through the speakers of this  
system. Use a standard stereo audio cord (not supplied),  
matching up the colors both ends for best results.  
You can connect this system to any TV using this output jack  
with the supplied video cord. However, if your TV has an  
S-Video input, we recommend also using that since you  
should get a better picture.  
Refer to the TV’s instruction manual for more detailed  
connection instructions.

To play your TV through this system, press the  
AUDIO A-1 or A-2 button (depending on  
which one the TV is connected to).  
Many TVs also have an S-Video input which you can use to  
connect to this system using an S-Video cord (not supplied).  
Refer to the TV’s instruction manual for more detailed  
connection instructions.  
If the TV is connected to AUDIO 1, memorize its remote

13 Additional Information  
Taking care of your system  
Wipe lightly from the center of the disc using  
straight strokes.  
To clean this unit, wipe with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn  
dirt, wet a soft cloth with a mild detergent solution made by  
diluting one part detergent to 5 or 6 parts water, wring well,  
then wipe off the dirt. Use a dry cloth to wipe the surface dry.  
Do not use volatile liquids such as benzene and thinner which  
may damage the surfaces.  
Disc lens cleaner  
Don’t wipe the disc surface using circular  
strokes.  
The disc pickup lens should not become dirty in normal use,  
but if for some reason it should malfunction due to dirt or  
dust, consult your nearest Pioneer authorized service center.  
Although lens cleaners for CD players are commercially  
available, we do not recommend using them since some may  
damage the lens.  
Storing discs  
Although CDs and DVDs are more durable than vinyl records,  
you should still take care to handle and store discs correctly.  
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).  
Taking care of your discs  
When holding discs, take care not to leave fingerprints, dirt or  
scratches on the disc surface. Hold the disc by its edge or by  
the center hole and edge. Damaged or dirty discs can affect  
playback performance. Take care also not to scratch the label  
side of the disc. Although not as fragile as the recorded side,  
scratches can still result in a disc becoming unusable.  
Don't glue paper or put stickers on discs, or write on them  
using a pencil, ball-point pen or other sharp-tipped writing  
instrument.  
Should a disc become marked with fingerprints, dust, etc.,  
clean using a soft, dry cloth, wiping the disc lightly from the  
center to the outside edge as shown on the right. If necessary,  
use a cloth soaked in alcohol, or a commercially available CD  
or DVD cleaning kit to clean a disc more thoroughly. Never  
use benzine, thinner or other cleaning agents, including  
products designed for cleaning vinyl records.  
Discs to avoid  
Discs spin at high speed during playback. If you can see that a  
disc is cracked, chipped, warped, or otherwise damaged, don't  
risk using ityou could end up damaging the system.  
This system is designed for use with conventional, fully  
circular discs only. Use of shaped discs is not recommended.  
Pioneer disclaims all liability arising in connection with the  
use of shaped CDs and DVDs.

Glossary  
Optical digital output  
Analog audio  
A jack that outputs digital audio in the form of light pulses.  
Connect components with optical digital jacks using a special  
optical cord, available from good audio dealers.  
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.  
PCM (Pulse Code Modulation)  
Aspect ratio  
The most common system of encoding digital audio, found  
on CDs and DAT. Excellent quality, but requires a lot of data  
compared to formats such as Dolby Digital and MPEG audio.  
For compatibility with digital audio recorders (CD, MD and  
DAT) and AV amplifiers with digital inputs, this unit can  
convert Dolby Digital and MPEG audio to PCM. See also  
Digital audio.  
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).  
Chapter (DVD only)  
Just as a book is split up into several chapters, a title on a DVD  
disc is usually divided into chapters. See also Title.  
PBC (PlayBack Control) (Video CD only)  
A system of navigating a Video CD through on-screen menus  
recorded onto the disc. Especially good for discs that you  
would normally not watch from beginning to end all at  
once—karaoke discs, for example.  
Digital audio  
An indirect representation of sound by numbers. During  
recording, the sound is measured at discrete intervals (44,100  
times a second for CD audio) by an analog-to-digital  
converter, generating a stream of numbers. On playback, a  
digital-to-analog converter generates an analog signal based  
on these numbers. See also Sampling frequency and Analog  
audio.  
Regions (DVD only)  
These associate discs and players with particular areas of the  
world. This unit will only play discs that have compatible  
region codes. You can find the region code of your unit by  
looking on the rear panel. Some discs are compatible with  
more than one region (or all regions).  
Dolby Digital  
A surround sound system developed by Dolby Laboratories  
containing up to six channels of digital audio (front left and  
right, surround left and right, center and low-frequency  
channels). See also DTS.  
Sampling frequency  
The rate at which sound is measured to be turned into digital  
audio data. The higher the rate, the better the sound quality,  
but the more digital information is generated. Standard CD  
audio has a sampling frequency of 44.1kHz, which means  
44,100 samples (measurements) per second. See also Digital  
audio.  
DTS  
A surround sound system developed by Digital Theater  
Systems as an alternative to Dolby Digital. DTS discs contain  
up to eight channels of digital audio. See also Dolby Digital.  
Dynamic range  
Title (DVD only)  
The difference between the quietest and loudest sounds  
possible in an audio signal (without distorting or getting lost  
in noise). Dolby Digital and DTS soundtracks are capable of a  
very wide dynamic range, delivering dramatic cinema-like  
effects.  
A collection of chapters on a DVD disc. See also Chapter.  
MPEG video  
The video format used for Video CDs and DVDs. Video CD uses  
the older MPEG-1 standard, while DVD uses the newer and  
much better quality MPEG-2 standard.
