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 Associations  
Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit  
youve just purchased is only the start of your  
musical enjoyment. Now its time to consider how  
you can maximize the fun and excitement your  
equipment offers. This manufacturer and the  
Electronic Industries Associations 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.  
Consumer Electronics Group recommend you avoid  
prolonged exposure to excessive noise. This list of  
sound levels is included for your protection.

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 leveladapts to higher volumes of sound.  
So what sounds normalcan 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,

180 Rocket launching pad  
Once you have established a comfortable sound  
level:  
Set the dial and leave it there.

Connecting to an AV  
receiver  
To enjoy multichannel surround sound you need  
to connect this player to an AV receiver using a  
digital output. This player has coaxial digital jack.  
In addition to a digital connection, we recom-  
mend also connecting using the stereo analog  
connection.

Youll probably also want to connect a video

Connect the AV receivers video output  
to a video input on your TV.  
You usually have to connect the same kind  
of video cable between your DVD player and  
AV receiver, and between your AV receiver  
and TV.  
If you dont 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.  
This enables you to listen to multichannel  
surround sound.  
For a coaxial connection, use a coaxial  
cable (similar to the supplied video cable) to  
connect the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack to a  
coaxial input on your AV receiver.

video effectively doubles the scanning rate of the  
picture, resulting in a very stable, flicker-free  
image.

Macro Vision System Copy Guard.  
Progressive scan video is available only from the  
COMPONENT VIDEO OUT. Use the PROGRES-  
SIVE button on the front panel to switch the

should get used to the way these work as you’ll  
need to use them when setting up the player,  
using some of the playback features, such as  
program play, and when making more advanced  
settings for audio and video.  
The buttons to navigate the on-screen  
displays are available on the remote control  
as well as the front panel.  
The button guide at the bottom of every  
OSD screen shows you which buttons you’ll  
need to use for that screen.

Audio DRC  
Default setting is Off.  
Audio DRC is only effective with Dolby  
Digital audio sources.  
When watching Dolby Digital DVDs at low  
volume, its easy to lose the quieter sounds  
completely-including some of the dialog.  
Switching Audio DRC (Dynamic Range Control)  
to On can help by bringing up the quieter  
sounds, while controlling loud peaks.  
How much of a difference you hear depends on  
the material youre listening to. If the material  
doesnt have wide variations in volume, you may  
not notice much change.  
Audio DRC is only effective through the  
digital output when Digital Out (see page  
19) is set to On, and Dolby Digital Out (see  
page 20) is set to Dolby Digital > PCM.  
The effect of Audio DRC depends on your  
speakers and AV receiver settings.

Virtual Surround doesnt work with DTS or  
96kHz linear PCM audio through either the  
analog or digital outputs.  
If the player is outputting Dolby Digital 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 19 for how to set up the digital output  
formats.  
How good the surround effect is varies with

Additional information  
Storing discs  
Although CDs and DVD discs are more durable  
Taking care of your  
player and discs  
than vinyl records, you should still handle and  
store discs carefully. When not in use, return the  
disc to its jewele case or jacket and store  
vertically. Avoid leaving discs in excessively cold,  
humid, or hot environments (including in direct  
sunlight).  
Do NOT place paper stickers onto the disc.  
When writing on a disc, do NOT mark with a  
pencil, ball-point pen, or other sharp-tipped  
writing instrument that may damage a disc.  
Handling discs  
When holding discs of any type, take care not to  
leave fingerprints, smears or scratches on the  
disc surface. Hold the disc by an edge or  
pinched between the center hole and an edge.  
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 corrupted or unusable.  
Should a disc become marked with fingerprints,  
dust, etc., clean using a soft, dry cloth, wiping  
the disc lightly from the center to an 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 speeds inside the player. Discs  
that are cracked, chipped or warped can damage  
or possibly destroy the player’s optics.  
Wipe lightly from the center of the disc  
using straight strokes.  
Don't wipe the disc surface using  
circular strokes.  
This player is designed for use with conventional,  
circular discs only. Shaped discs such as  
business card sized are not recommended for  
this product. Pioneer disclaims all liability arising  
in connection with the use of shaped discs.  
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  
or any other cleaning agents, including products  
designed for cleaning vinyl records.

11 Additional information  
Don’t...  
Cleaning the unit’s exterior  
Place where exposed to high temperatures  
or humidity, including near radiators and  
other heat-generating appliances.  
Place on a window sill or other place where  
the player will be exposed to direct sunlight.  
Use in an excessively dusty or damp  
environment.  
Place directly on top of an amplifier, or other  
component in your playback system that  
becomes hot in use.  
Use near a television or monitor as you may  
experience interference-especially if the  
television uses an indoor antenna.  
Use close to a 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.  
Use a polishing cloth or 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. Wrung out the cloth well before  
wiping then use a dry cloth to wipe again.  
Do not use furniture wax or cleaners. Never  
use thinners, benzine or insecticide sprays  
or other chemicals on or near this unit since  
these chemicals can corrode the surfaces.  
If you use a chemically-treated 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.  
Unplug the unit when cleaning.  
Cleaning the pickup lens  
Place on an unstable surface, or one that is  
not large enough to support all four of the  
units supports.  
The DVD players 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.  
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 POWER indicator to turn  
orange, then unplug the power cable. Never lift  
or move the unit when a disc is playing or is still  
spinning as this shift may cause damage.  
Problems with 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 wont damage the player, it  
may temporarily impair its performance. For this  
reason you should allow it to adjust to the  
warmer/cooler temperature for approximately an  
hour before switching on the unit.  
Power cable caution  
Handle the power cable by the plug part. Do not  
pull out the plug by tugging the cable. Never  
touch the power cable when your hands are wet  
as this could cause a short circuit or electrical  
shock. Do not place anything on the power cord  
that could pinch or damage the cable in any  
other way. Never make a knot in the cable or tie it  
in a bundle with other cables. Power cables  
should be routed so that they are not likely to be  
stepped on. A damaged power cable can cause a  
fire or give an electric shock. Inspect the cord  
periodically for damage or wear. If it needs to be  
replaced, ask your nearest Pioneer authorized  
service center or your dealer for a replacement.

Please note that many widescreen productions  
override the players settings so that the disc is  
shown in the authors chosen aspect ratio,  
regardless of the setting.  
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 CinemaScope widescreen  
movies, with an aspect ratio of up to about 7:3.  
Televisions, too, come in different aspect ratios;  
standard4:3 and widescreen 16:9.  
Using the 16:9 (Wide) setting with a  
standard 4:3 TV/monitor, or either of the 4:3  
settings with a widescreen TV, results in a  
distorted picture.  
Widescreen TV users  
Titles, Chapters and  
Tracks  
For Widescreen TVs, set the players TV Screen  
option (page 21) to the widescreen aspect ratio  
16:9 (Wide).  
DVD discs are generally divided into one or more  
titles. Titles may be further subdivided into  
chapters.  
When watching discs with the standard 4:3, use  
the TV controls to select how the picture  
appears. Your TV may offer various zoom and  
stretch options; see the operating instructions  
provided with your TV or monitoring system.  
Please note that some movie aspect ratios are  
wider than 16:9. Thus, although the picture is  
shown in widescreen, these video clips play in a  
letter boxstyle with black bars at the top and  
bottom of the screen.  
Title 1  
Title 2  
Title 3  
Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 1 Chapter 1 Chapter 2  
CDs and Video CDs are divided into tracks.  
Standard TV users  
If you have a standard TV, the TV Screen setting  
(page 21) of this player should be set to 4:3  
(Letter Box) or 4:3 (Pan&Scan), depending on  
you preferences.  
Track 1 Track 2 Track 3 Track 4 Track 5 Track 6  
4:3 (Letter Box), widescreen discs are shown  
with black bars above and below the picture.  
DVD-Video Regions  
DVD-Video region marks designate compatible  
playback area(s) for each DVD-Video disc. DVD  
players also have a region mark, usually found  
on the rear panel. Discs and players with  
different regions are incompatible.  
Discs marked ALL are compatible with this  
player model.  
4:3 (Pan&Scan), widescreen discs are shown  
with the left and right sides cropped. While the  
picture appears larger, the visible area is  
actually reduced.

Interface Connector  
A computer may be connected to the DVD-V5000 using a 15-pin D-Sub connector (e.g., a JAE DALC-  
J15SAF connector with a suitable plug such as the JAE DA-15PF-N) to the RS-232C serial port or to the  
parallel port.  
This unit includes a 9-pin male connector for use as a serial control connector. Through the ADV.  
SETUP menu, either a 15-pin or 9-pin connector can be used. However, the 9-pin and 15-pin connectors  
cannot be accessed simultaneously.

Communication with a Computer  
The DVD-V5000 communicates to the computer  
through the RS-232C port using pins 2 and 3 for  
communication and Pin 1 on the 15-pin D-sub  
connector or Pin 5 on the 9-pin D-sub connector  
for grounding. Control or “handshaking” lines  
other than the TxD and RxD connections are not  
required. Please refer to the diagram below for  
clarification.  
Computer Control Functions  
Serial Control  
The player and computer are based upon the  
RS-232C protocol and connect through the TxD,  
RxD, DTR and GND terminals.  
Extend Terminal  
Control the player with the Extend Terminal  
(SW#).  
Computer  
DVD-V5000  
External Power Control  
Control the player’s power with the Power Pin  
within the Interface Connector.  
TxD  
RxD  
If the player detects a high signal throughput (100  
msec or more) during the Standby mode, the  
player powers ON. If the player detects the same  
signal during the Power ON mode, the player  
powers OFF and switches to the Standby mode.  
The specifications for the Power pin are as  
follows:  
RxD  
TxD  
GND  
GND  
Some computers require the CTS port to be set  
to HIGH during communication. It is best to  
connect the CTS and DSR port on the computer  
to the DTR port on the player. During normal  
operation the player’s DTR is set to HIGH thus  
the unit is able to receive a command at any  
time.

Data Transfer Speed (Baud Rate)  
The data transfer speed may be set to  
either 19200 or 9600 bps through the  
ADV. SETUP menu (see page 42).  
The command string enters the buffer with the  
first character and continues sequentially from  
left to right. When <CR> is entered, the  
commands are executed sequentially beginning  
with the first command in the buffer. In the  
example above, the first command is 10SE.  
The factory default is 19200 bps.

When all the commands in a string have finished executing, the player transmits or returns the  
completemessage that is represented by a capital letter R.  
If an error occurs, the player returns an error message such as E04. The message indicates an error  
has occurred as well as the type of error. Error messages are in the form of EXX where XX represents a  
2-digit error code.  
Error Messages

MPEG audio  
Glossary  
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).  
Analog audio  
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.  
MPEG video  
The video format used for Video CDs and DVDs.  
Video CD uses the older MPEG-1 standard, while  
DVD uses the newer and much better quality  
MPEG-2 standard.  
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).  
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 oncekaraoke  
discs, for example.  
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, generat-  
ing 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.  
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 amplifiers with digital  
inputs, this unit can convert Dolby Digital, DTS  
and MPEG audio to PCM. See also Digital audio.  
Dolby Digital  
1
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.  
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.  
Regions (DVD-Video only)  
These associate discs and players with particular  
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).  
DTS  
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.  
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. Standard CD  
audio has a sampling frequency of 44.1kHz,  
which means 44,100 samples (measurements)  
per second. See also Digital audio.  
Dynamic range  
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  
range, delivering dramatic cinema-like effects.
