We Want You Listening For A Lifetime  
Used wisely, your new sound equipment will  
provide a lifetime of fun and enjoyment. Since  
hearing damage from loud noise is often  
undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer  
and the Electronic Industries Association’s  
Consumer Electronics Group recommend you avoid  
prolonged exposure to excessive noise. This list of  
sound levels is included for your protection.  
Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit  
you’ve just purchased is only the start of your  
musical enjoyment. Now it’s time to consider how  
you can maximize the fun and excitement your  
equipment offers. This manufacturer and the  
Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer  
Electronics Group want you to get the most out of  
your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that  
lets the sound come through loud and clear without  
annoying blaring or distortion-and, most importantly,  
without affecting your sensitive hearing.  
Decibel  
Level Example  
30 Quiet library, soft whispers  
40  
Living room, refrigerator, bedroom away from traffic  
50 Light traffic, normal conversation, quiet office  
60 Air conditioner at 20 feet, sewing machine  
70 Vacuum cleaner, hair dryer, noisy restaurant  
80 Average city traffic, garbage disposals, alarm clock  
at two feet.  
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing  
“comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of sound.  
So what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and  
harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by  
setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your  
hearing adapts.  
THE FOLLOWING NOISES CAN BE DANGEROUS  
UNDER CONSTANT EXPOSURE  
90 Subway, motorcycle, truck traffic, lawn mower  
100 Garbage truck, chain saw, pneumatic drill  
120 Rock band concert in front of speakers,  
thunderclap  
To establish a safe level:  
• Start your volume control at a low setting.  
• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it  
comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.  
140 Gunshot blast, jet plane  
180 Rocket launching pad  
Once you have established a comfortable sound  
level:  
• Set the dial and leave it there.

Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent  
hearing damage or loss in the future. After all, we  
want you listening for a lifetime.

Using other types of video  
output  
This player has standard (composite), S-video  
and component video outputs, as well as an  
HDMI connector (for digital video/audio).The

of the picture.  
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 equip-

S-video delivers a better picture than standard  
composite video, while component video  
gives better picture quality still. The variety of  
outputs also gives you the flexibility of  
connecting your particular equipment using  
the best connection type available.

Connect the AUDIO OUT (5.1ch)  
Connecting for multichannel

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.  
To enjoy multichannel surround sound from  
DVD-Video, DVD-Audio and SACD discs, we  
recommend connecting this player to an AV  
receiver using the 5.1 channel analog outputs  
or the i.LINK connector.  
The player also has optical and coaxial digital  
outputs should you want to use an external  
decoder or the decoder in your AV receiver.  
Note that multichannel DVD-Audio and 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.

• In order to hear multichannel sound from  
DVD-Audio discs, make sure that DVD-  
Audio Out is set to 5.1 Channel (see  
DVD-Audio Out on page 78).  
• To be able to use the Auto Select Play  
feature, you must first set it up using the  
Auto Select Play menu screen. See Auto  
Select Play on page 78.  
Creating an i.LINK network  
Using i.LINK it is possible to chain up to 17  
components together so that the digital audio  
and control signals from each component is  
available to other components in the network.  
With the addition of an i.LINK repeater, it’s  
possible to connect up to 63 components.  
i.LINK connectors come in 4-pin and 6-pin  
configurations. This player uses the 4-pin  
connection, but the two types can be mixed  
on a network.  
• When the i.LINK indicator ( ) is lit on the  
front panel (see Front panel on page 25),  
no audio is output from the other digital or  
analog audio jacks. You can switch off the  
i.LINK output using the Audio Out menu  
(see Audio Out on page 77) if you need to  
use the analog and/or optical/coaxial  
digital outputs.  
• The front panel i.LINK indicator only lights  
when the receiver is on and the input is  
set to i.LINK. See also the receiver’s oper-  
ating instructions.  
This player is compatible with i.LINK Audio  
components, such as AV receivers. It may not  
work properly if connected to i.LINK MPEG-II  
TS equipment (such as a digital satellite  
tuner), i.LINK DV equipment (such as a DVD  
recorder or DV camcorder), or an i.LINK-  
equipped personal computer. Check the oper-  
ating instructions supplied with your other  
i.LINK components for compatibility informa-  
tion.  
Connected components should be DTCP  
(Digital Transmission Content Protection)  
compliant to be able to play DVD-Video, DVD-  
Audio and SACD i.LINK audio. If a connected  
component is not DTCP compliant, only CD,  
MP3, VCD audio will be output.  
• You can connect several components  
together using i.LINK. See Creating an  
i.LINK network below.  
• If you need to use an i.LINK cable other  
than the one supplied, please use 4-pin,  
S400 cables less than 3.5 meters long.  
Although longer ones are available, they  
may not work reliably.  
When setting up an i.LINK network, it’s impor-  
tant that the components form an open ended  
chain (fig. 1), or a tree (fig. 2).

About i.LINK  
i.LINK is a trademark name for IEEE1394, a  
high-speed interface for digital audio, video  
and other data found on personal computers,  
digital camcorders, and other kinds of audio  
and audio/visual equipment. A single i.LINK  
connector can both send and receive data at  
the same time, so only one cable is required  
to connect components for two-way commu-  
nication.

Connecting up  
The system will not work if the connected  
components form a loop. If a loop is detected,  
the message LOOP CONNECT shows in the  
display. Figs. 3 and 4 show connections that  
form a loop.  
Connecting using HDMI  
If you have a HDMI or DVI (with HDCP)  
equipped monitor or display, you can connect  
it to this player using a commercially available  
HDMI cable.  
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 (see  
below for limitations), Video CD, CD and MP3.

HDMI-compatible display  
Another consideration when connecting  
i.LINK devices is the speed of the interface. At  
present there are three speeds; S100  
(slowest), S200 and S400 (fastest). This player  
uses the S400 type. Although you can use  
components with different speeds together,  
we recommend connecting slower speed  
components at the edge of the network if  
possible (shown by the shaded boxes in figs.  
1 and 2). This will keep the network free of  
bottlenecks.

• The arrow on the cable connector body  
should be face up for correct alignment

When used within an i.LINK network, this  
player must be on for the i.LINK connection to  
be maintained. Other components in the  
network may or may not maintain the connec-  
tion in standby (none will when the power is  
completely off)—check the operating instruc-  
tions supplied with individual components.  
Note that the audio may be momentarily inter-  
rupted if a component in the i.LINK network is  
switched on/off, or its i.LINK connection is  
switched on/off.  
When you first switch on the player, you will  
see the HDMI settings menu appear on your  
monitor or display. From here you can select  
the resolution, aspect ratio, color and audio  
settings, as well as adjust the video presenta-  
tion to your liking. For more on these settings  
see HDMI Settings on page 71.

About HDMI  
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 technolo-  
gies 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.  
• An HDMI connection can only be made  
with DVI-equipped components  
compatible with both DVI and High  
Bandwidth Digital Content Protection  
(HDCP). If you choose to connect to a DVI  
connector, you will need a separate  
adaptor (DVIHDMI) to do so. A DVI  
connection, however, does not support  
audio signals. Consult your local audio  
dealer for more information.  
HDMI has the capability to support standard,  
enhanced, or high-definition video plus stan-  
dard to multi-channel surround-sound audio.  
HDMI features include uncompressed digital  
video, a bandwidth of up to 2.2 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.  
• This unit has been designed to be  
compliant with HDMI (High Definition  
Multimedia Interface) Version 1.1.  
Depending on the component you have  
connected, using a DVI connection may  
result in unreliable signal transfers.  
HDMI, the HDMI logo and High-Definition  
Multimedia Interface are trademarks or regis-  
tered trademarks of HDMI licensing LLC.  
• When you change the component  
connected to the HDMI output, you will  
also need to change the HDMI settings to  
match the new component (see HDMI  
Settings on page 71 to do this). However,  
the settings for each component are then  
stored in memory (for up to 5 compo-  
nents).  
Controlling this player from  
another Pioneer component  
This player has SR jacks which allow you to  
use the remote sensor on one Pioneer compo-  
nent to control another.  
• The HDMI connection is compatible with  
2 channel linear PCM signals (44.1 to  
192kHz, 16/20/24 bit), and Dolby Digital,  
DTS and MPEG audio bitstream (5.1  
channel signals up to 96kHz, 16/20/24bit).  
• It is not possible to output SACD source  
from the HDMI connection.

daisy-chain several components together.  
Make sure that the type of video connec-

receiver to your TV. Most AV receivers  
won’t convert from one kind of connection  
to another.

Unfortunately, if your TV has no inputs you  
can’t use this player with it.  
• My VCR is already connected to my TV, so  
there aren’t any spare inputs. What should  
I do?  
If all your TV’s inputs are already in use,  
you can buy a video input selector from an  
electronics store, which effectively gives  
you more inputs.  
• My TV only has one input for the sound.  
What should I plug it into?  
If you don’t mind mono sound, you can  
buy a stereo RCA-to-mono RCA cable  
from an electronics store. Connect the  
stereo end to this player and the mono  
end to your TV.  
If you want stereo sound, connect this  
player to your amplifier or stereo system  
using a stereo audio cable.

Video CD PBC menus  
Some Video CDs have menus from which you  
can choose what you want to watch. These  
are called PBC (Playback control) menus.  
• Some DVD-Audio discs feature a ‘bonus  
group’. To access this group you have to  
input a password, which you can find on  
the disc’s packaging. See Bonus Group on  
page 69 for more information.  
You can play a PBC Video CD without having  
to navigate the PBC menu by starting play-  
back using a number button or track skip  
button () to select a track, rather than the  
(play) button.

Getting Started  
• I have a widescreen TV so why are there  
black bars at the top and bottom of the  
screen when I play some discs?  
• After I load a DVD disc, it ejects automati-  
cally after a few seconds!  
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.  
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 13.  
• 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?  
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 79. Check also that the disc is  
aligned properly in the disc tray and that  
it’s loaded label-side up.  
Some discs override the display prefer-  
ences of the player, so even if you have 4:3  
(Pan & Scan) selected, those discs will  
still be shown in letterbox format. This is  
not a malfunction.  
• My DVD-Audio disc starts playing, but then  
suddenly stops!  
• Why won’t the disc I loaded play?  
The disc may have been illegally copied.  
First check that you loaded the disc the  
right way up (label side up), and that it’s  
clean and not damaged. See Taking care  
of your player and discs on page 79 for  
information on cleaning discs.  
• My CD with MP3 tracks won’t play!  
Make sure that the tracks are encoded in  
MPEG1 audio layer 3 format. See also  
Compressed Audio Compatibility on  
page 12.  
If a disc loaded correctly won’t play, it’s  
probably an incompatible format or disc  
type, such as DVD-ROM. See Disc /  
content format playback compatibility on  
page 11 for more on disc compatibility.  
• Some MP3 tracks don’t show up. Where are  
they?  
Filenames that don’t end with the exten-  
sion “.mp3” won’t be recognized by this  
player. Also, if there are more than 250  
folders or tracks on the disc, only the first  
250 are recognized. See also Compressed  
Audio Compatibility on page 12.  
• There’s no picture!  
Check the front panel and make sure that  
the PURE AUDIO indicator isn’t lit. If it is,  
press the PURE AUDIO button to switch  
the video and HDMI outputs back on. See  
also Front panel on page 25.  
• There’s no sound from the analog/optical/  
coaxial outputs or the HDMI interface!  
Also make sure that if your TV isn’t  
Check the front panel and make sure that  
the PURE AUDIO indicator isn’t lit. If it is,

the digital audio (optical/coaxial and  
HDMI) outputs back on.  
compatible with progressive scan video,  
that the PROGRESSIVE indicator isn’t lit.  
If it is, press the PROGRESSIVE button to  
switch the video output back to interlace.  
See also Front panel on page 25.  
You won’t hear any sound from the HDMI  
output if the source component is only  
DVI/HDCP-compatible.

If the i.LINK interface is active, all other  
audio outputs are switched off. You can  
check by looking at the i.LINK indicator on  
the front panel. If it's lit then the player is  
outputting audio over i.LINK. See Audio  
Out on page 77 for how to switch it off.  
Using the multichannel analog audio  
outputs or the i.LINK connector for DVD-  
Audio have none of these limitations.  
• I’ve connected to a HDMI/DVI compatible  
component but I can’t get any signal and  
the front panel HDMI indicator won’t light!  
• My AV receiver is definitely compatible with  
96/88.2kHz Linear PCM audio, but it  
doesn’t seem to work with this player.  
What’s wrong?  
Make sure that you’ve selected this player  
as the HDMI input in the settings for the  
component you’re using. You may need to  
refer to the instruction manual of the  
component to do this.  
For digital copy-protection purposes,  
some 96/88.2kHz DVD discs only output  
digital audio downsampled to 48/44.1kHz  
through the optical and coaxial outputs.  
This is not a malfunction. To fully take  
advantage of the high sampling rate  
audio, connect the analog audio outputs  
to your amplifier/receiver.  
An HDMI connection can only be made  
with components compatible with both  
DVI and High Bandwidth Digital Content  
Protection (HDCP). See Connecting using  
HDMI on page 22 for more on HDMI  
compatibility.  
• There’s no picture from the HDMI output!  
• Why can’t I hear SACD audio through the  
optical/coaxial digital outputs or the HDMI  
interface?  
Depending on the source material, you  
may not be able to get a picture from DVI-  
compatible sources. DVI sources must  
also be encoded using High Bandwidth  
Digital Content Protection (HDCP) for you  
to see a picture using this player. See  
Connecting using HDMI on page 22 for  
more on HDMI compatibility.  
SACD audio is only available through the  
analog outputs and the i.LINK connector.  
This is not a malfunction. Also, some  
DVD-Audio discs only output audio  
through the analog outputs and i.LINK  
connector.  
Make sure the resolution on this player  
matches that of the component you have  
connected using HDMI. See HDMI  
Settings on page 71 to change the HDMI  
resolution.  
• Why does the volume level seem lower  
during SACD playback?  
Compared to CDs, SACD audio may seem  
slightly lower in volume due to this player  
specification.  
• Is it better to listen to DVD-Audio discs  
through the analog outputs?  
Some DVD-Audio discs do not output  
anything through the digital outputs, and  
multichannel discs are downmixed to  
stereo for the optical and coaxial digital  
outputs. In addition, high sampling rate  
DVD-Audio discs (96kHz or higher) auto-  
matically downsample audio output from  
the optical/coaxial digital outputs.

Storing discs  
Taking care of your player and  
discs  
Although CDs and DVD discs are more  
durable than vinyl records, you should still  
take care to handle and store discs correctly.  
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).  
Handling discs  
When holding discs of any type, take care not  
to leave fingerprints, dirt or scratches on the  
disc surface. Hold the disc by its edge or by  
the center hole and edge.  
Don’t glue paper or put stickers onto the disc,  
or use a pencil, ball-point pen or other sharp-  
tipped writing instrument. These could all  
damage the disc.  
Damaged or dirty discs can affect playback  
performance. Take care also not to scratch  
the label side of the disc. Although not as  
fragile as the recorded side, scratches can  
still result in a disc becoming unusable.  
Should a disc become marked with finger-  
prints, dust, etc., clean using a soft, dry cloth,  
wiping the disc lightly from the center to the  
outside edge as shown in the diagram below.  
For more detailed care information see the  
instructions that come with discs.  
Do not load more than one disc into the player  
at a time.  
Discs to avoid  
Discs spin at high speed inside the player. If  
you can see that a disc is cracked, chipped,  
warped, or otherwise damaged, don't risk  
using it in your player—you could end up  
damaging it.  
Wipe lightly from the center of the disc  
using straight strokes.  
Don’t wipe the disc surface using circular  
strokes.  
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.

Additional information  
This player is designed for use with conven-  
tional, fully circular discs only. Use of shaped  
discs is not recommended for this product.  
Pioneer disclaims all liability arising in  
connection with the use of shaped discs.  
• Place on a window sill or other place  
where the player will be exposed to direct  
sunlight.  
• Use in an excessively dusty or damp envi-  
ronment.  
• Place directly on top of an amplifier, or  
other component in your stereo system  
that becomes hot in use.  
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. Although lens cleaners for CD  
players are commercially available, we do not  
recommend using them since some may  
damage the lens.  
• Use near a television or monitor as you  
may experience interference—especially  
if the television uses an indoor antenna.  
• Use in a kitchen or other room where the  
player may be exposed to smoke or steam.  
• Use on a thick rug or carpet, or cover with  
cloth—this may prevent proper cooling of  
the unit.  
Problems with condensation  
• Place on an unstable surface, or one that  
is not large enough to support all four of  
the unit’s feet.  
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 perfor-  
mance. For this reason you should leave it to  
adjust to the warmer temperature for about  
an hour before switching on and using.  
Moving the player  
If you need to move the player, first press  
POWER 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.  
Hints on installation  
We want you to enjoy using this product for  
years to come, so please bear in mind the  
following points when choosing a suitable  
location for it:  
Power cable caution  
Handle the power cable by the plug part. Do  
not pull out the plug by tugging the cable, and  
never touch the power cable when your hands  
are wet, as this could cause a short circuit or  
electric shock. Do not place the unit, a piece  
of furniture, or other object on the power  
cable or pinch the cable in any other way.  
Never make a knot in the cable or tie it with  
other cables. The power cables should be  
routed so that they are not likely to be stepped  
on. A damaged power cable can cause a fire  
Do...  
• Use in a well-ventilated room.  
• Place on a solid, flat, level surface, such  
as a table, shelf or stereo rack.  
Don’t...  
• Use in a place exposed to high tempera-  
tures or humidity, including near radia-  
tors and other heat-generating  
appliances.

or give you an electric shock. Check the power  
cable once in a while. If you find it damaged,  
ask your nearest Pioneer authorized service  
center or your dealer for a replacement.  
Set to 4:3 (Letter Box), widescreen discs are  
shown with black bars top and bottom.  
Screen sizes and disc formats  
DVD-Video discs come in several different  
screen aspect ratios, ranging from TV  
programs, which are generally 4:3, to Cinema-  
Scope widescreen movies, with an aspect  
ratio of up to about 7:3.  
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.  
Televisions, too, come in different aspect  
ratios; ‘standard’ 4:3 and widescreen 16:9.  
Widescreen TV users  
If you have a widescreen TV, the TV Screen  
setting (page 63) of this player should be set  
to 16:9 (Wide).  
Please note that many widescreen discs over-  
ride the player’s settings so that the disc is  
shown in letter box format regardless of the  
setting.  
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.  
• Using the 16:9 (Wide) setting with a stan-  
dard 4:3 TV, or either of the 4:3 settings  
with a widescreen TV, will result in a  
distorted picture.  
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.  
Resetting the player  
Standard TV users  
Use this procedure to reset all the player’s  
settings to the factory default.  
If you have a standard TV, the TV Screen  
setting (page 63) of this player should be set  
to 4:3 (Letter Box) or 4:3 (Pan&Scan),  
depending on which you prefer.

down the (stop) button and press  
POWER to switch the player back on.

language code list  
Some of the language options (such as ‘DVD  
Language’ in the Setup Navigator) allow you  
to set your preferred language from any of the  
136 languages listed in the language code list  
on page 86.  
Digital audio  
An indirect representation of sound by  
numbers. During recording, the sound is  
measured at discrete intervals (44,100 times a  
second for CD audio) by an analog-to-digital  
converter, generating a stream of numbers.  
On playback, a digital-to-analog converter  
generates an analog signal based on these  
numbers. See also Sampling frequency and  
Analog audio.

Dolby Digital  
Glossary  
Analog audio  
Using a maximum of 5.1 channels of audio,  
this high quality surround system is used in  
many of the finer movie theaters around the  
world.  
An electrical signal that directly represents  
sound. Compare this to digital audio which  
can be an electrical signal, but is an indirect  
representation of sound. See also Digital  
audio.  
The on-screen display shows which channels  
are active, for example showing 3/2.1. The 3  
being the two front channels and the center  
channel; the 2 being the surround channels,  
and the .1 being the LFE channel.  
Aspect ratio  
The width of a TV screen relative to its height.  
Conventional TVs are 4:3 (in other words, the  
screen is almost square); widescreen models  
are 16:9 (the screen is almost twice as wide as  
it is high).  
DTS  
R
Bonus Group (DVD-Audio only)  
An ‘extra’ group on some DVD-Audio discs  
that requires a key number to access.  
DTS stands for Digital Theater Systems. DTS  
is a surround system different from Dolby  
Digital that has become a popular surround  
sound format for movies.

Dynamic range  
MP3  
The difference between the quietest and  
loudest sounds possible in an audio signal  
(without distorting or getting lost in noise).  
Dolby Digital and DTS soundtracks are  
capable of a very wide dynamic range, deliv-  
ering dramatic cinema-like effects.  
MP3 (MPEG1 audio layer 3) is a compressed  
audio file format. Files are recognized by their  
file extension “.mp3” or “.MP3”.  
MPEG audio  
An audio format used on Video CDs and some  
DVD discs. This unit can convert MPEG audio  
to PCM format for wider compatibility with  
digital recorders and AV amplifiers. See also  
PCM (Pulse Code Modulation).  
File extension  
A tag added to the end of a filename to indi-  
cate the type of file. For example, “.mp3” indi-  
cates an MP3 file.  
MPEG video  
i.LINK  
The video format used for Video CD/s and  
DVDs. Video CD uses the older MPEG-1 stan-  
dard, while DVD uses the newer and much  
better quality MPEG-2 standard.  
i.LINK is a trademark name of IEEE1394, a  
high-speed digital interface capable of  
carrying audio, video and other types of data  
(this player only outputs audio).  
Packed PCM (DVD-Audio only)  
HDMI  
A lossless compression system that enables  
more PCM audio to be stored on a DVD-Audio  
disc than would otherwise be possible.  
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface)  
is a high-speed digital interface which has the  
capability to support standard, enhanced, or  
high-definition video plus standard to multi-  
channel surround-sound audio on a single  
digital connection. HDMI features include  
uncompressed digital video, a bandwidth of  
up to 5 gigabytes per second and communi-  
cation between the AV source and AV devices  
such as DTVs.  
PBC (PlayBack Control) (Video CD/ only)  
A system of navigating a Video CD through  
on-screen menus recorded onto the disc.  
Especially good for discs that you would  
normally not watch from beginning to end all  
at once—karaoke discs, for example.  
HDMI, the HDMI logo and High-Definition  
Multimedia Interface are trademarks or regis-  
tered trademarks of HDMI licensing LLC.  
PCM (Pulse Code Modulation)  
The most common system of encoding digital  
audio, found on CDs and DAT. Excellent  
quality, but requires a lot of data compared to  
formats such as Dolby Digital and MPEG  
audio. For compatibility with digital audio  
recorders (CD, MD and DAT) and AV ampli-  
fiers with digital inputs, this unit can convert  
Dolby Digital, DTS and MPEG audio to PCM.  
See also Digital audio.  
Interlaced video  
A method of displaying a picture in which  
odd-numbered lines are updated in one pass,  
then even-numbered lines updated in the  
next. See also Progressive scan video.  
ISO 9660 format  
International standard for the volume and file  
structure of CD-ROM discs.

PQLS (Precision Quartz Lock System)  
[rate control]  
Technology for high-precision transmission of  
digital audio over the i.LINK interface  
enabling jitterless digital-to-analog conver-  
sion using a precision quartz in the rate  
control-compatible receiver.  
Sampling frequency  
The rate at which sound is measured to be  
turned into digital audio data. The higher the  
rate, the better the sound quality, but the  
more digital information is generated. Stan-  
dard CD audio has a sampling frequency of  
44.1kHz, which means 44,100 samples  
(measurements) per second. See also Digital  
audio.  
Progressive scan video  
Also called non-interlaced video, this method  
of displaying a picture updates all the lines in  
one pass, resulting in a more stable, flicker-  
free image than interlaced video (for a given  
scanning rate). See also Interlaced video. See  
also About progressive scan video on page 26.  
Slideshow (DVD, Video CD/)  
A feature of some DVD discs in which still  
pictures recorded on the disc cycle automati-  
cally as the audio is played. See also Brows-  
able Picture.  
Super Audio CD (SACD)  
Regions (DVD-Video only)  
Super Audio CD is a high quality audio disc  
format that can accommodate high sampling  
rate stereo and multi-channel audio, as well  
as conventional CD audio all on the same  
disc.  
These associate discs and players with partic-  
ular areas of the world. This unit will only play  
discs that have compatible region codes. You  
can find the region code of your unit by  
looking on the rear panel. Some discs are  
compatible with more than one region (or all  
regions).  
S1 S-video output  
This S-video signal format includes aspect  
ratio information (4:3 or 16:9) within the video  
signal. TVs which are compatible with S1 S-  
video automatically switch aspect ratio  
according to the signal.  
S2 S-video output  
S2 is an enhanced version of S-video which, in  
addition to aspect ratio information, contains  
letterbox / pan & scan information. Wide-  
screen TVs which are compatible with S2 S-  
video automatically switch aspect ratio  
according to the signal.
