About Discs

BD Video

Enjoy BD-specific functions including BONUSVIEW (BD-ROM
Profile 1 Version 1.1), such as picture-in-picture, and BD-LIVE
(page 15).
For the BD video discs compatible with BONUSVIEW/BD-
LIVE, you can enjoy additional contents by copying the data
from the discs or downloading it via the internet. For instance,
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
Title 1
Title 2
Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 1
Example 2: Audio CD
Track 1 Track 2 Track 3 Track 4

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.
