Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one

wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the

third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for

replacement of the obsolete outlet.

Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point

where they exit from the apparatus.

When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.

Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.

Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been

damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects

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 on vacation).

BD Video

Enjoy BD-specific functions including BONUSVIEW (BD-ROM

For the BD video discs compatible with BONUSVIEW/BD-

LIVE, you can enjoy additional contents by copying the data

this function is capable of playing the original movie as the

primary video while playing video commentary from the film

director on a small screen as a secondary video.

NOTE

The available functions differ depending on the disc.•

Title, Chapter and Track

Blu-ray discs and DVDs are divided into “Titles” and

“Chapters”. If the disc has more than one movie on it, each

movie would be a separate “Title”. “Chapters”, on the other

hand, are subdivisions of titles. (See Example 1.)

Audio CDs are divided into “Tracks”. You can think of a

“Track” as one tune on an Audio CD. (See Example 2.)

Disc Precautions

Be Careful of Scratches and Dust

BD, DVD and CD discs are sensitive to dust, fingerprints

and especially scratches. A scratched disc may not be able

to be played back. Handle discs with care and store them

in a safe place.

Proper Disc Storage

Place the disc in the center of the

disc case and store the case and

disc upright.

Avoid storing discs in locations

subject to direct sunlight, close to

heating appliances or in locations of

high humidity.

Do not drop discs or subject them to

strong vibrations or impacts.

Avoid storing discs in locations

where there are large amounts of

dust or moisture.

Handling Precautions

If the surface is soiled, wipe gently with a soft, damp (water

only) cloth. When wiping discs, always move the cloth from

the center hole toward the outer edge.

Do not use record cleaning sprays, benzene, thinner, static

electricity prevention liquids or any other solvent.

Do not touch the surface.

Do not stick paper or adhesive labels to the disc.

If the playing surface of a disc is soiled or scratched, the

Player may decide that the disc is incompatible and eject

the disc tray, or it may fail to play the disc correctly.

Cleaning the Pick Up Lens

Never use commercially available cleaning discs. The use

of these discs can damage the lens.

Request the nearest service center approved by Pioneer to

clean the lens.

Warnings about dew formation

Condensation may form on pick up lens or disc in the

following conditions:

Immediately after a heater has been turned on.

In a steamy or very humid room.

When the Player is suddenly moved from a cold

environment to a warm one.

When condensation forms:

It becomes difficult for the Player to read the signals

on the disc and prevents the Player from operating

properly.

To remove condensation:

Take out the disc and leave the Player with the power

off until the condensation disappears. Using the Player

when there is condensation may cause malfunction.

About Playing Audio Files

MP3 files can be played.

Files recorded with the sampling frequencies below are

supported.

8 kHz, 11.025 kHz, 12 kHz, 16 kHz, 22.05 kHz, 24 kHz,

32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz

Only files with the extensions “.mp3” or “.MP3” can be

played.

For the sound quality, we recommend recording with a bit

rate of 128 kbps or greater.

The maximum size of files that can be played is 200 MB.

Audio files other than MP3 files (WMA, etc.) cannot be

played.

Some MP3 files cannot be played.

MP3 files are not played in the order in which they were

recorded.

When recording MP3 files on discs, we recommend doing

so at low speed. Recording at high speed can cause noise

and make the disc/file unplayable.

Some time is required for loading when there are many

folders on the disc.

Depending on the folder structure, it may take some time

to load MP3 files.

When playing audio files, the elapsed time may not be

displayed properly.

About Playing Image Files

JPEG files can be played.

The files that can be played are as follows:

Conforming to baseline JPEG and Exif 2.2 standards

Extension: “.jpg” or “.JPG”

Resolution: 32 x 32 to 7680 x 4320 pixels

File size: 20 MB or less

JPEG HD is supported. The images are output with a high

resolution of 720p or 1080i.

The picture may be displayed with black vertical or

horizontal bands when JPEG files with a different aspect

ratio are played.

Image files other than JPEG files (TIFF, etc.) cannot be

played.

Some JPEG files cannot be played.

Progressive JPEG files cannot be played.

Motion JPEG files cannot be played.

In some cases, JPEG files processed with image

processing software may not be playable.

It may not be possible to play JPEG files downloaded from

the Internet or e-mail.

Depending on the number of folders or files and their size,

some JPEG files may require some time to play.

EXIF data is not displayed.
