around the unit for ventilation to improve heat

radiation (at least 5 cm at top, 5 cm at rear, and 5

cm at each side).

VENTILATION CAUTION (DVD Recorder)

radiation (at least 10 cm at top, 10 cm at rear, and

10 cm at each side).

WARNING

Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for

ventilation to ensure reliable operation of the

product, and to protect it from overheating. To

D3-4-2-1-7b_A_En

CAUTION

The

STANDBY/ON 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 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

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

on vacation).

Section One

Thank you for buying this Pioneer product.

Please read through these operating instructions so that you will know how to operate your model properly. After you

have finished reading the instructions, put them in a safe place for future reference.

Features

Home cinema system with the latest features

This unit is equipped with a variety of the latest features

for DVD recording.

· Extended recording time

Up to 455 hours recording on 160GB HDD (page 154)

· 24 hours recording (DVD-R DL)

· High speed copy

DVD-R: 12x, DVD-RW: 6x (page 42)

· Ease of use

Help function

EPG (Guide plus+) (page 68)

ShowView / Video Plus (page 75)

Advanced Disc Navigator (moving thumbnail)

(page 92, 111)

· Digital Jukebox

Record your favorite music CDs to the hard disk and

produce your own library of favorites (page 120)

Subwoofer with 5.1ch receiver function

This unit includes a subwoofer equipped with 5.1

channel amplifier and FM/AM tuner with RDS support.

The receiver is equipped with Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro

Logic II, and DTS decoders for the ultimate in live

listening presence.

Advanced surround modes are also provided to allow you

to select your own uniquely designed listening

environment (page 24).

Includes a separate display for greater freedom

in installation layout.

The separate display makes it easy to choose the

optimum layout for your installation location. Choose the

setting that provides the best storage and viewing

position.

The separate display is provided with control buttons,

allowing you to perform basic operations at the display

alone, without using the remote. On the other hand, the

separate display is also equipped with a remote control

receiver, allowing you to operate the unit by pointing the

remote at the display instead of at the DVD recorder or

subwoofer (page 22).

Three-spot front surround setting allows two

kinds of speaker placement

In addition to the conventional 5.1ch speaker placement,

the rear (surround) speakers can be placed in the front if

desired, thus producing a 3-spot front surround setting

with the same kind of sound field as the normal 5.1ch

arrangement. This provides greater freedom in speaker

placement to match different sound environments and

room conditions.

For example, the 3-spot front setting can be used in cases

where the listening room has no space for the placement

of surround (rear) speakers, or in cases where speaker

wiring to the rear would be particularly difficult.

To produce the most lifelike ambience from the 3-spot

front setting, original surround modes (Front Surround

Movie / Front Surround Music / Extra Power) are provided

thus allowing you to create genuine 5.1ch audio

ambience and a sense of spatial movement not possible

with conventional virtual surround systems (page 6).

Full input/output connector systems

Three digital input connector systems and one analog

input connector system are provided, allowing you to

connect sound from a variety of television monitors,

satellite tuners and other components (page 31).

Environmentally conscious design

The sub-woofer with its 5.1ch amplifier consumes less

than 0.5W of energy in standby mode, providing

economic, environmentally conscious operation.
