Connecting using a SCART AV cable  
A SCART-type AV connector is provided for connection to a TV or AV receiver. The video output is  
switchable between ordinary composite, S-video and RGB. See page 23 for how to set it.  
The SCART AV connector also outputs analog audio, so there is no need to also connect the AUDIO  
OUT L/R jacks.  
Connecting up  
Easy connections  
The setup described here is a basic setup that allows you to play discs using just the cables supplied  
with the player. In this setup, stereo audio is played through the speakers in your TV.

Use a SCART cable (not supplied) to connect the AV CONNECTOR (RGB) output to a  
SCART AV input on your TV (or AV receiver).  
Connecting using the S-video output  
Important  
• This player is equipped with copy protection technology. Do not connect this player to your TV  
via a VCR using audio/video or S-video cables, as the picture from this player will not appear  
properly on your TV. (This player may also not be compatible with some combination TV/VCRs  
for the same reason; refer to the manufacturer for more information.)  
If your TV (or other equipment) has an S-video (S1)  
input, you can use the S-video output on this  
player instead of the standard (composite) output  
for a better quality picture.

Note  
Connecting using the component video output  
You can use the component video output instead of the standard video out jack to connect this player  
to your TV (or other equipment). This should give you the best quality picture from the three types of  
video output available.  
• Before unplugging the player from the power outlet, make sure you first switch it into standby  
using either the front panel STANDBY/ON button, or the remote control, and wait of the -OFF-  
message to disappear from the player’s display.  
• For the above reasons, do not plug this player into a switched power supply found on some  
amplifiers and AV receivers.

FAQ  
• After I load a DVD disc, it ejects automatically after a few seconds!  
Most likely, the disc is the wrong region for your player. The region number should be printed on  
the disc; check it against the region number of the player (which you can find on the rear panel).  
See also DVD-Video regions on page 21.  
ENTER  
RETURN  
If the region number is OK, it may be that the disc is damaged or dirty. Clean the disc and look  
for signs of damage. See also Taking care of your player and discs on page 20.  
• Why won’t the disc I loaded play?  
First check that you loaded the disc the right way up (label side up), and that it’s clean and  
undamaged. See Taking care of your player and discs on page 20 for information on cleaning  
discs.  
If a disc loaded correctly won’t play, it’s probably an incompatible format or disc type, such as  
DVD-Audio or DVD-ROM. See Disc / content format playback compatibility on page 6 for more on  
disc compatibility.  
• I have a widescreen TV so why are there black bars at the top and bottom of the screen when I play  
some discs?  
Some movie formats are such that even when played on a widescreen TV, black bars are  
necessary at the top and bottom of the screen. This is not a malfunction.  
• I have a standard (4:3) TV and set the player to show widescreen DVDs in pan & scan format, so  
why do I still get black bars top and bottom with some discs?  
Some discs override the display preferences of the player, so even if you have 4:3 (Pan & Scan)  
selected, those discs will still be shown in letter box format. This is not a malfunction.

playback using a number button to select a track, rather than the (play) button.

If you use a chemical-impregnated cleaning cloth, read the instructions carefully before use. These  
cloths may leave smear marks on half-mirror finish surfaces; if this happens, finish with a dry cloth.  
Chapter 8  
Additional information  
Cleaning the pickup lens  
The DVD player’s lens should not become dirty in normal use, but if for some reason it should  
malfunction due to dust or dirt, consult your nearest Pioneer-authorized service center. We do not  
recommend using commercially available lens cleaners for CD players.  
Taking care of your player and discs  
General  
Condensation  
Hold discs by the edge or by the center hole and edge.  
Condensation may form inside the player if it is brought into a warm room from outside, or if the  
temperature of the room rises quickly. Although the condensation won’t damage the player, it may  
temporarily impair its performance. Leave it to adjust to the warmer temperature for about an hour  
before switching on.  
When you're not using a disc, return it to its case and store upright. Avoid leaving discs in excessively  
cold, humid, or hot environments (including under direct sunlight).  
Don't glue paper or put stickers on to discs. Do not use a pencil, ball-point pen or other sharp-tipped  
writing instrument to write on the disc.  
Don’t use self-adhesive disc labels on discs as  
these can cause the disc to warp slightly during  
playback causing distortion in the picture and/or  
sound.  
Moving the player  
If you need to move the player, first press STANDBY/ON on the front panel to turn the player off.  
Wait for -OFF- to disappear from the display, then unplug the power cable. Never lift or move the unit  
during playback—discs rotate at a high speed and may be damaged.  
Screen sizes and disc formats  
Damaged and shaped discs  
DVD-Video discs come in several different screen aspect ratios, ranging from TV programs, which  
are generally 4:3, to CinemaScope widescreen movies, with an aspect ratio of up to about 7:3.  
Televisions, too, come in different aspect ratios; ‘standard’ 4:3 and widescreen 16:9.  
Do not use cracked, chipped, warped, or otherwise damaged discs as they may damage the player.  
This player is designed to be used only with  
conventional, fully circular discs. Do not use  
shaped discs. Pioneer disclaims all liability arising  
in connection with the use of shaped discs.  
Widescreen TV users  
If you have a widescreen TV, the TV Screen setting (page 18) of this player should be set to 16:9  
(Wide).  
When you watch discs recorded in 4:3 format, you can use the TV controls to select how the picture  
is presented. Your TV may offer various zoom and stretch options; see the instructions that came with  
your TV for details.  
Please note that some movie aspect ratios are wider than 16:9, so even though you have a  
widescreen TV, these discs will still play in a ‘letter box’ style with black bars at the top and bottom  
of the screen.  
Cleaning discs  
Fingerprints and dist on discs can affect playback performance. Clean using a soft, dry cloth, wiping  
the disc lightly from the center to the outside edge as shown below.  
Standard TV users  
If necessary, use a cloth soaked in alcohol, or a  
commercially available CD/DVD cleaning kit to  
clean a disc more thoroughly. Never use benzine,  
thinner or other cleaning agents, including  
products designed for cleaning vinyl records.  
If you have a standard TV, the TV Screen setting (page 18) of this player should be set to 4:3 (Letter  
Box) or 4:3 (Pan&Scan), depending on which you prefer.  
Set to 4:3 (Letter Box), widescreen discs are  
shown with black bars top and bottom.  
Cleaning the unit’s exterior  
Unplug the unit before cleaning.  
Set to 4:3 (Pan&Scan), widescreen discs are  
shown with the left and right sides cropped.  
Although the picture looks larger, you don’t  
actually see the whole picture.  
Use a dry cloth to wipe off dust and dirt. If the surfaces are very dirty, wipe with a soft cloth dipped  
in some neutral cleanser diluted five or six times with water and wrung out well, then wipe again with  
a dry cloth.  
Do not use use furniture wax or cleaners. Never use thinners, benzine or insecticide sprays or other  
chemicals on or near this unit.

Additional information  
Please note that many widescreen discs override the player’s settings so that the disc is shown in  
letter box format regardless of the setting.  
1
Press and hold the front panel STANDBY/ON for 10 seconds.  
When the power is completely off, you cannot use the remote to switch it back on again. Use the  
front panel STANDBY/ON button.  
Note  
• Using the 16:9 (Wide) setting with a standard 4:3 TV, or either of the 4:3 settings with a  
widescreen TV, will result in a distorted picture.  
DVD-Video regions  
All DVD-Video discs carry a region mark on the case somewhere that indicates which region(s) of  
the world the disc is compatible with. Your DVD player also has a region mark, which you can find  
on the rear panel. Discs from incompatible regions will not play in this player. Discs marked ALL will  
play in any player.  
Setting the TV system  
The default setting of this player is AUTO, and unless you notice that the picture is distorted when  
playing some discs, you should leave it set to AUTO. If you experience picture distortion with some  
discs, set the TV system to match your country or region’s system. Doing this, however, may restrict  
the kinds of disc you can watch. The table below shows what kinds of disc are compatible with each  
setting (AUTO, PAL and NTSC).  
The diagram below shows the various DVD regions of the world.

About DivX  
®
DivX is a compressed digital video format created by the DivX video codec from DivXNetworks, Inc.  
Note  
This player can play DivX video files burned on CD-R/RW/ROM discs. Keeping the same terminology  
as DVD-Video, individual DivX video files are called “Titles.” When naming files/titles on a CD-R/RW  
disc prior to burning, keep in mind that by default they will be played in alphabetical order.  
• The player may take some time to find a title on a disc when you start playback, etc. This is  
normal.
