Why is the sound distorted/missing? | Pioneer PRV-9000 manual

PRV-9000 Operating Instructions

Replace the battery in the remote control. When the battery runs down, the ID number automatically resets to ID1.

10. Why is the sound distorted/missing?

Adjust the volume control for the television, monitor or AV device.

Sound is removed during pauses, scans, or slow motion play. Press PLAY to resume normal playback with sound.

DTS discs require a DTS decoder or DTS-compatible receiver to play back. Connect a DTS device to the recorder and retry.

If adding a DTS device, verity that the DTS Output option is set to ON. SETUP > Audio > DTS Output > ON

Some 96kHz discs do not output audio through Digital Out. Switch the receiver/amplifier’s input to analog.

Verify that the audio cable connections and reseat if necessary. Check that cable contacts are clean.

11. Why is the picture from my external input distorted?

If the video signal from the external component is copy-protected, the recorder is unable to relay the signal accurately. Connect the component directly to the viewing device.

12.How do I return the screen to normal when it’s stretched out horizontally/vertically?

The recorder’s input automatically switches into wide mode to match the input signal when necessary. If the connected device is incompatible with ID-1, set the component to output a 4:3 aspect ratio.

Change the TV Screen Size setting to match the media (disc setting). Check the aspect ratio setting on the monitor or AV receiver.

13.Why won’t the disc I made on the PRV-9000 play on my (other manufacturer’s) DVD player?

Material recorded in Video mode must be finalized before being able to play is on a different DVD device.

Some DVD players are unable to read recordable media. Check with the manufacturer for recordable media compatibility issues.

Material recorded on a VR formatted disc is playable on devices marked with the RW Compatibility symbol.

Discs recorded with copy-once material are banned from playing on other devices.
