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

Replacement and mounting of an AC plug on the power supply cord of this unit should be performed only by qualified  
service personnel.  
IMPORTANT: THE MOULDED PLUG  
This appliance is supplied with a moulded three pin mains plug for your safety and convenience. A 5 amp fuse is fitted in this plug. Should the  
fuse need to be replaced, please ensure that the replacement fuse has a rating of 5 amps and that it is approved by ASTA or BSI to BS1362.  
Check for the ASTA mark  
or the BSI mark  
on the body of the fuse.  
If the plug contains a removable fuse cover, you must ensure that it is refitted when the fuse is replaced. If you lose the fuse cover the plug  
must not be used until a replacement cover is obtained. A replacement fuse cover can be obtained from your local dealer.  
If the fitted moulded plug is unsuitable for your socket outlet, then the fuse shall be removed and the plug cut off and disposed of  
safely. There is a danger of severe electrical shock if the cut off plug is inserted into any 13 amp socket.  
If a new plug is to be fitted, please observe the wiring code as shown below. If in any doubt, please consult a qualified electrician.  
IMPORTANT: The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:  
Blue : Neutral Brown : Live  
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in  
your plug, proceed as follows ;  
The wire which is coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the  
letter N or coloured BLACK.  
The wire which is coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the  
letter L or coloured RED.

Connecting the multichannel  
analog outputs  
Connecting to an AV receiver  
02  
If your AV receiver has 5.1 channel analog  
inputs, we recommend connecting this player  
to it using the multichannel analog outputs.  
Doing this will ensure that you can enjoy all  
kinds of disc, including Dolby Digital and DTS  
DVD-Video discs, as well as high sampling rate  
and multichannel DVD-Audio and SACD  
discs.  
You can connect this player to your AV receiver  
using the multichannel analog outputs or one  
of the digital outputs.  
In addition to these connections, you should  
also connect the 2 channel analog outputs for  
compatibility with all discs.  
You’ll probably also want to connect a video  
output to your AV receiver. You can use any of  
the video outputs available on this player (the  
illustration shows a standard (composite)  
connection).  
Connect the multi-channel audio  
outputs on this player to the multi-channel  
audio inputs on your AV receiver.  
It’s convenient to use three stereo audio  
cables; one for the FRONT, one for the  
SURROUND and one for the CENTER and  
SUBWOOFER channels.

Connecting the digital output  
Connecting using HDMI  
02  
This player has both optical and coaxial-type  
digital audio outputs for connection to an AV  
receiver. Connect whichever is convenient.  
If you have a HDMI equipped monitor or  
display, you can connect it to this player using  
a commercially available HDMI cable.  
Depending on the capabilities of your AV  
receiver, you might have to set up this player to  
output only digital audio in a compatible  
format. See Digital Audio Out settings on  
page 38 and refer to the operating instructions  
that came with your AV receiver.  
The HDMI connector outputs uncompressed  
digital video, as well as almost every kind of  
digital audio that the player is compatible with,  
including DVD-Video, DVD-Audio, SACD,  
Video CD/Super VCD, CD, WMA, MP3,  
MPEG-4 AAC, DivX video and WMV.  
Note that SACD audio is not output through  
these jacks, so this connection should be in  
addition to, rather than instead of, a 5.1  
channel analog connection.  
Use an HDMI cable (not supplied) to  
connect the HDMI OUT interconnect on  
this player to an HDMI interconnect on a  
HDMI-compatible display.

About HDMI  
02  
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface)  
supports both video and audio on a single  
digital connection for use with DVD players,  
DTV, set-top boxes, and other AV devices.  
HDMI was developed to provide the  
technologies of High-bandwidth Digital  
Content Protection (HDCP) as well as Digital  
Visual Interface (DVI) in one specification.  
HDCP is used to protect digital content  
transmitted and received by DVI-compliant  
displays.  
• The HDMI connection is compatible with  
2 channel linear PCM signals (44.1 kHz to  
192 kHz, 16 bit/20 bit/24 bit), and Dolby  
Digital, DTS, MPEG audio bitstream, multi  
channel DSD, and multi channel linear  
PCM signals, (5.1 channel signals up to  
96 kHz, 16 bit/20 bit/24 bit).  
HDMI has the capability to support standard,  
enhanced, or high-definition video plus  
standard to multi-channel surround-sound  
audio. HDMI features include uncompressed  
digital video, a bandwidth of up to five  
gigabytes per second (with HDTV signals), one  
connector (instead of several cables and  
connectors), and communication between the  
AV source and AV devices such as DTVs.

• 96 kHz linear PCM audio is automatically  
downsampled to 48 kHz if Virtual Surround  
is switched on.  
• If the player is outputting Dolby Digital,  
DTS or MPEG bitstream audio (in other  
words, no conversion to PCM), Virtual  
Surround has no effect on the audio from  
the digital output. See Digital Audio Out  
settings on page 38 for how to set up the  
digital output formats.

About DivX VOD content  
• Make a note of the code as you will need it  
to complete your registration.  
In order to play DivX VOD (video on demand)  
content on this player, you first need to register  
the player with the DivX VOD registration  
system. You do this by generating a DivX VOD  
registration code from the device, which you  
will submit to DivX via the DivX Player program  
available for your computer.  
®
Playing DivX VOD content  
Some DivX VOD content may only be playable  
a fixed number of times. When you load a disc  
containing this type of DivX VOD content, the  
remaining number of plays is shown  
on-screen and you then have the option of  
playing the disc (thereby using up one of the  
remaining plays), or stopping. If you load a  
disc that contains expired DivX VOD content  
(for example, content that has zero remaining  
plays), the message Rental Expired is  
displayed.  
Important  
• DivX VOD content is protected by a DRM  
(Digital Rights Management) system. This  
restricts playback of content to specific,  
registered devices.  
• If you load a disc that contains DivX VOD  
content not authorized for your player, the  
message Authorization Error is displayed  
and the content will not play.  
If your DivX VOD content allows an unlimited  
number of plays, then you may load the disc  
into your player and play the content as often  
as you like, and no message will be displayed.  
• Resetting the player (as described in  
Resetting the player on page 53) will not  
cause you to lose your registration code.

1. This unit checks the specification of the connected component (such sample rate/multichannel limitations and  
compatibility with protected audio contents) and outputs the signal accordingly. Note that ‘DVD-Audio compatible’  
indicates compatibility with protected audio contents. ‘SACD compatible’ indicates compatibility with DSD signals.  
2. If HDMI Out setting (page 38) is set to LPCM (2CH), DVD-Audio multichannel sources will be downmixed to  
stereo. (In cases where the source is downmix-prohibited, only the front left/right channels are output.) For SACD  
sources, the 2 channel (stereo) SACD audio area is selected.  
If the video output resolution is 480i, 576i, 480p or 576p, audio output may be limited to 2 channel (depending to the  
connected component).  
3. In cases where the source is downmix-prohibited, only the front left/right channels are output.  
4. If CPPM shows in the front panel display, it means it is not possible to output CPPM copycontrolled DVD-Audio  
sources from the HDMI connection. Discs with no CPPM protection are limited to 2 channel output.

Additional information  
Cleaning discs  
Taking care of your player  
and discs  
Fingerprints and dust 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.  
General  
Hold discs by the edge or by the center hole  
and edge.  
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).  
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.  
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.  
Cleaning the unit’s exterior  
Unplug the unit before cleaning.  
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.  
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.  
Damaged and shaped discs  
Do not use furniture wax or cleaners. Never  
use thinners, benzine or insecticide sprays or  
other chemicals on or near this unit.  
Do not use cracked, chipped, warped, or  
otherwise damaged discs as they may damage  
the player.  
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.  
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.

Cleaning the pickup lens  
Screen sizes and disc formats  
09  
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.  
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.  
Condensation  
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.  
Widescreen TV users  
If you have a widescreen TV, the TV Screen  
setting (page 39) of this player should be set to  
16:9 (Wide) or 16:9 (Compressed).  
When you watch discs recorded in 4:3 format  
with the 16:9 (Wide) setting, 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.  
Moving the player  
If you need to move this unit, first remove the  
disc, if there's one loaded, and close the disc  
tray. Next, press STANDBY/ON to switch  
the power to standby, checking that the -OFF-  
indication in the display goes off. Lastly,  
disconnect the power cord.  
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.  
Never lift or move the unit during playback —  
discs rotate at a high speed and may be  
damaged.  
Caution for when the unit is  
installed in a rack with a glass door  
Do not press the OPEN/CLOSE button on  
the remote control to open the disc table while  
the glass door is closed. The door will hamper  
movement of the disc table, and the disc table  
could be damaged.

Setting the TV system  
09  
If you have a standard TV, the TV Screen  
setting (page 39) of this player should be set to  
4:3 (Letter Box) or 4:3 (Pan & Scan), depending  
on which you prefer.  
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, NTSC and PAL ).  
Set to 4:3 (Letter Box), widescreen discs are  
shown with black bars top and bottom.

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.  
Note  
• You have to switch the player into standby  
(press STANDBY/ON) before each  
change.
