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

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.)
Example 1: Blu-ray disc or DVD

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.
