Differences in Disc
Composition
How to Proceed in This
Manual
DVD is an incredible format that presents the highest
quality digital audio and video available today. The
amount of information that can be recorded onto a DVD
is remarkable, allowing it to offer numerous functions
and features available with no other format.
DVD
DVDs are divided into units referred to as titles, and
titles are divided into chapters. A DVD which contains a
movie may have only one title with many or no chapter
divisions. Karaoke DVDs may have many titles, assigning
a title to each song on the disc. Menu screens do not
belong to any title.
Because using the DVD player and DVDs may be
confusing at first, following the order below should help
you get through the important stages of getting set up
so you can start using your player as soon as possible.
DVD player functions generally apply to titles on a disc or
chapters within a selected title. The player functions
available may also vary from title to title, depending on
the disc. When DVDs have a unique title division, it
should be noted that search and program functions may
be affected.
Get familiar with the player.
Refer to the section “Before Using” on page 8 to
confirm that all the accessories were included with the
player. If you are new to DVD, it might be beneficial for
you to go through the “Names and Functions” section
starting on page 10 to get familiar with the parts and
buttons on the main unit and remote control as they will
be referred to throughout this manual.

There is also a list of terms that can be found on page 54
if you are having trouble understanding some of the
terminology associated with DVD.
DVD
Make the necessary connections.
No entertainment system seems to be set up exactly
the same way. The “Making Connections” section
starting on page 15 shows how video and audio
connections may be made to suit your home
entertainment system.
Video CD/CD
Video CDs and CDs are divided into units referred to as
tracks (Video CD tracks may also be referred to as
scenes). One song generally corresponds to one track.
Some tracks are further divided into units referred to as
indexes. Video CDs with PBC (Playback Control) also
contain menus recorded on the disc which enable easy
access to the contents of the disc.
Set up the necessary player
menus.
Before you can begin to enjoy the benefits of the DVD
format, you should set up the player to output the video
and audio information that corresponds to your system.
The section “Setting Up the Player” starting on page 19
explains how to use the Setup screen menus as well as
how to make the necessary initial adjustments. The
Setup screen menus are used in a number of functions.
Learning the procedure for operating the menus will
make using this player much easier and more enjoyable.
When played back on a DVD player, both Video CDs and
CDs are considered to be a single title, regardless of the
number of tracks.

When all the connections and setups have been made,

Connection Guide
Making
The illustration on this page shows the basic setup using
the audio and video cords included with this player. Use
this illustration as a guide to setting up your home
system.
Connections
An explanation of each type of audio and video
connection available can be found on the following
pages. To determine the best audio and video
connection setup for your system, refer to the manuals
supplied with the components you are making
connections to.
Connecting Your DVD Player
In addition to making physical connections to your TV or
monitor, it is also necessary to assign the TV screen size
in the Setup screen Video menu corresponding to
whether you are using a wide screen or standard size TV
or monitor (page 22).
Unlike any other audiovisual media format, DVD offers a
wide array of audio and video output options which
allows playback to be enjoyed in any number of system
configurations from a standard TV with stereo audio
input to a home theater system with a projection
monitor and full surround sound capabilities.
Notes
• When making connections to this unit or when changing
connections, check that the unit is off by pressing
POWER, and unplug the power cord from the power outlet.
• The analog video output on this player uses copy protect
circuitry to prevent the video playback on DVDs from being
copied. If you connect the player to a TV via a VCR, or record
and play back the contents of a disc with a VCR, the playback
picture may not be normal.

playback disc‘s recorded format.
System Control Connections
Using a commercially available cord with a mini plug
(3.5 mm dia. with no resistance) to connect this player’s
CONTROL IN jack to the CONTROL OUT jack of another
PIONEER component bearing the Î mark, you can
control the player as though it were a component in a
system (system control).
NTSC = PAL, PAL = NTSC conversion is possible on
Video CDs. PAL = NTSC conversion is not possible on
DVDs. When the TV SYSTEM switch is set to the AUTO
position, the disc’s format will be output as is. When a
CD or disc is not loaded, the previous video output
format will be selected.
• If you connect for system control, you cannot operate
the player directly. Point the remote control unit at the
component (AV amplifier, etc.) connected to the
CONTROL OUT jack to operate.
• When controlling as a system, be sure to make a
connection to the amplifier using an audio or video
cord, even when using only digital components.

Most models of the newly developed countdown PAL
TV system detect 50 Hz (PAL)/60 Hz (NTSC) and
automatically switch vertical amplitude, resulting in a
display without vertical shrinkage.
• If your PAL TV does not have a V-Hold control, you
may not be able to view NTSC disc because the
picture may roll. If the TV has a V-Hold control, adjust
it until the picture stops rolling. On some TVs, the
picture may shrink vertically, leaving black bands at
the top and bottom of the screen. This is not a
malfunction; it is caused by the NTSC = PAL
conversion.

Notes
Setting the Digital Audio
• If you have made digital audio connections to component(s)
not equipped to decode the DTS digital bitstream, be sure to
select “Off”. If a DTS signal is output without decoding, the
output is digital noise that could potentially cause damage to
your speakers.
Output To Be Compatible with
Your AV Component
– DVD
This player is capable of digital audio output for Dolby
Digital, DTS, MPEG, and signals with a sampling rate of
96 kHz. Make settings in the Setup screen Audio 1
menu to reflect the capabilities of the components that
you have made digital connections to.
96 kHz PCM Out
This player is capable of outputting digital signals with a
sampling frequency of 96 kHz. If you have made
connections to a component capable of processing this
signal rate, select “96 kHz” for the signal to be output as
is. As some components are incapable of processing
digital signal input with sampling rates of 96 kHz,
selecting “96 kHz 3 48 kHz” compresses the signal to a
standard signal with a sampling rate of 48 kHz.
Note
If you have made only stereo line connections (analog) using the
supplied audio cord, it is not necessary to make any changes in
this menu.

Entering the password
Setting the Parental Lock Level
When you select either “Level Change” or “Password
Change”, it is necessary to enter the password (4-digit
code number). Use the following steps at any time you
are asked to enter or confirm your password.
This player lets you set the Parental Lock if the DVD has
a parental lock level recorded on it. With Parental Lock
capable discs, you can block access to material you feel
is inappropriate for your children. Refer to the DVD disc
jacket and the accompanying documentation to see if a
particular disc contains a parental lock level.
1 Use the cursor buttons (5/∞) or the number
buttons to select a number between 0 and 9.
Make changes to the [Parental Lock] setting in the Setup
screen General menu. Please note that changes to the
Parental Lock level can only be made when the player is
stopped.
You can also use the number buttons to enter the
numbers directly. When entering your password for
the first time, or changing it, you will be asked to
reenter your password. When using the number
buttons to confirm the password, the numbers
appear as asterisks, and the cursor advances
automatically to the next position.

Additional
Information
NEVER PLAY CRACKED OR WARPED DISCS
The disc revolves in the player at high speed when it is
played. Never play a cracked, scratched or warped disc.
This may damage the player or cause it to malfunction.
Disc Care
HOW TO HOLD DISCS
When loading or removing discs, try not to touch their
playing surfaces.
NEVER USE DISCS WITH SPECIAL SHAPES
CD’s with special shapes (heart-shaped CDs, octagonal
CDs, etc.) cannot be played on this set.
Attempting to do so may damage the set. Do not use
such CDs.
CLEANING
Fingerprints or other dirt on the disc may affect sound
and picture quality.
AFTER USING DISCS, STORE THEM UPRIGHT
After playing a disc, always remove it from the player
and return it to its jacket. Then store it standing upright
away from heat and humidity.
To clean your discs, use a soft clean cloth to wipe them.
If necessary, moisten a soft cloth with diluted neutral
detergent to remove heavy dirt or fingerprints.
• Store discs carefully. If you store discs at an angle, or
stacked on top of each other, discs may become
warped even when in their jackets.
• Do not leave discs in locations such as the seat of a
car, which may become excessively hot.
Do not wipe in a circular
direction (Concentric
scratches in the disc groove
tend to cause noise.)
Gently wipe from the
inside toward the outer
edge.
CAUTION WHEN USING THE DISC
All rights reserved.
Unauthorized public performance, broadcasting or
copying is a violation of applicable laws.
Discs must not be cleaned with record cleaning sprays,
or static prevention sprays, etc. Also do not use volatile
liquids such as benzine, or thinner, etc.
Notes on using optical cables
• Do not route cords around sharp angles. When
storing, wind the cords so that they have a diameter
of at least 15 cm.
• When connecting, push all the way into the terminal.
• Do not use cords with a length of over 3 m.
LENS CLEANER
The player's pickup lens should not become dirty in
normal use, but if for some reason it should malfunction
due to soiling, contact your nearest PIONEER authorized
service center. Lens cleaners are commercially available,
but special care should be exercised in their use since
some may cause damage to the lens.
• If moisture or dust has collected on the plug, wipe it
with a soft cloth before connecting.

During playback, the disc rotates at high speed. Do NOT
lift or move the unit during playback. Doing so may
damage the disc.
To prevent this, let the player stand in its new
surroundings for about an hour before switching it on, or
make sure that the room temperature rises gradually.
Condensation may also form during the summer if the
player is exposed to the breeze from an air conditioner.
In such cases, change the location of the player.
WHEN MOVING THE UNIT
When changing places of installation or packing the unit
for moving, be sure to remove the disc and return the
disc table to its original position in the player. Turn off the
player and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet in
a manner appropriate for your player model as follows.
With the DV-525K, press STANDBY/ON to switch
the power to standby. Check that the “–OFF–”
indication in the display goes off, then disconnect the

signal, having the TV or radio on while power to the unit
is on may result in stripes on the TV screen or noise.
However, this is not a malfunction of this unit or the TV
or radio. In such a case, switch the power of the unit to
standby.
Moving this unit with the disc loaded may result in
damage to this unit.
INSTALLATION
• Select a stable place to the side of a TV set or stereo
system to be connected to the unit.
• When using the unit with a stereo system, install the
speakers a little bit away from the TV.
• Do NOT install the unit on top of a TV or color monitor.
Install the unit away from equipment that may be
affected by magnetism, such as a cassette deck.
• Do NOT place objects on top of the unit.
AVOID INSTALLING IN A PLACE THAT IS:
• Exposed to direct sunlight
POWER-CORD CAUTION
• Exposed to humidity or where ventilation is poor
• Extremely hot or cold
• Exposed to vibration
• Exposed to dust
• Exposed to oily smoke, steam or heat (for example, a
kitchen)
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 in such a way 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.
DO NOT BLOCK VENTS
Do NOT use the player on top of a long-fibered carpet,
bed or sofa, and do not cover it with a cloth, etc. This
will prevent heat radiation and could result in damage.
AVOID HEAT
Do NOT place the unit on equipment which generates
heat, such as an amplifier.
CAUTION: WHEN PLACING THE UNIT IN A
STEREO RACK WITH GLASS DOORS
Be sure there is ample space between the unit and
the glass doors when opening the disc table using
the remote control. If the disc table opens against
strong resistance, such as a closed glass door,
damage to the unit may result.
When installing the unit in a rack, place it on the lowest
shelf possible (however, not where it is exposed to dust)
and separated from the amplifier to avoid the heat
generated by the amplifier or other audio equipment.

Dolby Digital
Terms
Aspect ratio
Aspect ratio refers to the length to height ratio of TV
screens. The ratio of a standard TV is 4:3, while the ratio
of a high-definition or wide TV is 16:9. The latter allows
you to enjoy a picture with a wider perspective.
The maximum 5.1 channels of audio used in the
surround system (Surround Digital) for movie theaters is
digital data compressed by the third generation algorithm
encoder, AC-3.
1
In order to enjoy Dolby Digital discs, this unit’s digital
output jack (either coaxial or optical) must be connected
to the digital input jack of an AV amplifier or Dolby Digital
decoder to enjoy the sound of Dolby Digital soundtracks.
Chapter number
Chapter numbers are the numbers assigned to sections
of a title on the disc, similar to chapters in a book. If the
disc includes chapter numbers, you can locate the
section you want very quickly using search and other
functions.
DTS
DTS stands for Digital Theater System. DTS is a
surround system different from Dolby Digital that has
become a popular surround sound format for movies. In
order to enjoy the benefits of DTS encoded discs, the
digital output jack (either coaxial or optical) of this player
needs to be connected to an AV amplifier or receiver or
to a DTS decoder to be able to enjoy the surround sound
of DTS audio. DTS audio is not output from the analog
audio outputs.
Component (color difference) video output
The color signal of the TV is divided into the luminance
(Y) signal and the color (PB and PR) signals and then
output. In this way mutual interference of each signal is
avoided. On a TV with component input jacks, these
signals are synthesized to produce the picture.
Condition memory
Dynamic range
“Condition” refers to the various mode settings, etc. On
this player, various conditions, such as those set during
playback, can be memorized. This function allows you to
play back the same disc at any time without having to
redo your preferred settings.
Dynamic range refers to the difference between the
maximum and minimum levels of the audio soundtrack
as measured in decibels (dB).
Compressing the dynamic range raises the minimum
signal level and lowers the maximum signal level. This
allows you to hear voices and other low level audio
signals clearly while lowering strong audio signals like
the sound of explosions.
Digital bitstream
The bitstream does not refer to the audio signal, but
rather to the digital data that, once converted, becomes
the audio signal. The player outputs digital bitstreams via
the digital optical or digital coaxial output. If the
bitstream cannot be decoded by the connected AV
amplifier etc., digital noise is produced. Digital bitstream
formats compatible with different entertainment
systems can be selected in the Setup screen Audio 1
menu.
MPEG
Short for Moving Picture Experts Group. This is an
international standard for compression of moving
images. On some DVDs, digital audio has been
compressed and recorded in this format.
Multi-angle
When you watch a TV program, you are watching the
image filmed through the TV camera. Because of this,
the picture is displayed on your TV from the viewpoint of
the TV camera’s position. In a TV studio, the image is
filmed by many cameras at the same time, and one of
those images is selected by the program director and
transmitted to your TV. If all the filmed images were
transmitted to your TV you would be able to select the
camera image you want. Some DVD discs are recorded
with the angles of more than one camera used for
filming, and these can be selected using this player.
These types of discs are called multi-angle discs.
Digital output (Coaxial)
Output of the digital audio signal is transmitted
electronically using a coaxial cable. Because the signal
being transmitted is digital, connection must be made to
the coaxial digital input of another component. Noise will
be output if connected to the analog audio inputs as the
digital signal cannot be decoded.
Digital output (Optical)
Normally, audio is converted to an electric signal and
transmitted through an electric wire from the player to
the amplifier, etc. Changing this signal to a digital signal
and transmitting it through an fiber-optic cable is called
optical digital output. Similarly, optical digital input
receives digital signals from external units such as an AV
amplifier or receiver.

Parental lock level
Subtitle
This function was suggested by parents concerned
about what type of media their children were able to
watch. Parental lock restrictions are restrictions
incorporated into titles which include scenes that
parents may not wish their children to view.
Subtitles are language titles superimposed on movies, or
other media. Up to 32 different subtitle languages can
be recorded on a DVD disc. The subtitle function can be
used to select the language of your choice.
S-video
PCM
Connecting the S-video output on the player to a TV or
monitor with S-video input via an S-video cable produces
clearer picture reproduction by sending separate signals
for the luminance and the color. These signals are then
combined by the television to produce a better quality
picture.
PCM stands for Pulse Code Modulation and is digital
audio. The digital audio of CDs is PCM. This player also
has a function that converts Dolby Digital and MPEG
digital bitstreams into PCM to enable you to listen to
quality digital sound even without a special decoder.
Playback Control (PBC)
This refers to signals recorded on a Video CD (Version
2.0) enabling playback control.
System control
When you connect this player via a cord with a mini plug
to another Pioneer component such as a receiver or an
amplifier bearing the Î mark, you can control the player
as though it were a component in a system. To control
the player, point the player’s remote control at the
component that the player is connected to, and not the
player itself.
You can use menus recorded on discs with PBC for
easy, interactive search for desired scenes, and
playback.
You can also enjoy viewing high-resolution/standard
resolution still images.
Time number
Regional restriction codes (region number)
The time number corresponds to the elapsed playback
time of a disc from its beginning. When using the time
search function, use the time number to locate scenes
that occur at the time selected.
Regional restriction codes are built in to DVD players and
DVD discs for each sales region. If the regional code of
the DVD player does not match one of the regional
codes of the DVD disc, playback is not possible.
The region number can be found on the rear panel of the
DVD player. The illustration below shows the regions
and corresponding region numbers.
Title number
DVD discs are divided into units referred to as titles, and
titles are divided into chapters. Menu screens do not
belong to any title. A disc which contains a movie may
have only one title with many or no chapter divisions.
Karaoke discs may have many titles, assigning a title to
each song on the disc.
TOC
TOC (Table Of Contents) information is data other than
audio signal data, recorded at the beginning of a disc. As
the name implies, it’s like the list of contents in a book,
with information such as the number of songs and
playback time.
Sampling Frequency
When a sound wave is converted to a digital signal, the
sound is sampled and converted to data at a specific
frequency rate. For example, a signal with a 96 kHz
sampling rate indicates that in one second, the analog
signal was sampled 96000 times to produce the digital
signal.
