and playing an NTSC disc only: When  
Component Out (page 52) is set to  
Progressive, there is no video output  
from the VIDEO OUT (composite) and S  
(S-video) jacks. If you want to display video  
on more than one monitor simulta-  
neously, make sure that it is set to Inter-  
lace. Switch the player to standby then,

• This player is equipped with copy protec-  
tion technology. Do not connect this  
player to your TV via a VCR using AV  
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.)  
• When connecting to your TV as shown  
above, do not set the Component Out  
setting (page 52) to Progressive.  
Connecting using the S-video

Connect the VIDEO OUT and AUDIO  
OUT L/R jacks to a set of A/V inputs on  
your TV.  
Use the supplied audio/video cable,  
connecting the red and white plugs to the  
audio outputs and the yellow plug to the video  
output. Make sure you match up the left and  
right audio outputs with their corresponding  
inputs for correct stereo sound.  
If your TV (or other equipment) has an S-video  
input, you can use this instead of the stan-  
dard (composite) output for a better quality  
picture.  
Use an S-video cable (not supplied) to  
connect the S-VIDEO OUT to an S-video  
input on your TV (or monitor or AV  
receiver).  
Line up the small triangle above the jack with  
the same mark on the plug before plugging  
in.  
See below if you want to use a component or  
S-video cable for the video connection.

ever is convenient.  
In addition to a digital connection, we recom-  
mend also connecting using the stereo

For an optical connection, use an optical

on your AV receiver.  
If your TV has no inputs you can’t use this  
player with it.  
For a coaxial connection, use a coaxial cable  
(similar to the supplied video cable) to  
connect the COAXIAL DIGITAL AUDIO OUT

• 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.  
• I connected the DVD player to my AV  
receiver, and although the sound is fine,  
there’s no picture. What did I do wrong?  
Make sure that the correct video input is  
selected on your TV.  
Also make sure that the type of video  
connection from the DVD player to your  
AV receiver is the same as that from the  
receiver to your TV. Most AV receivers  
won’t convert from one kind of connection  
to another.

Getting started  
• 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?  
• After I load a DVD disc, it ejects automati-  
cally after a few seconds!  
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 letter box format. 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 64.  
• My AV receiver is definitely compatible with  
96kHz Linear PCM audio, but it doesn’t  
seem to work with this player. What’s  
wrong?  
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 60.  
For digital copy-protection purposes,  
some 96kHz DVD discs are automatically  
downsampled to 48kHz. This is not a  
malfunction. With these kinds of discs, if  
you want to enjoy high-quality analog  
audio, set Digital Out to Off (see Digital  
Out on page 50), and 96kHz PCM Out to  
96kHz (see 96kHz PCM Out on page 51).  
• 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 not damaged. See Taking care  
of your player and discs on page 60 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 8 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.

When watching Dolby Digital DVDs at low  
volume, it’s 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.  
• Audio DRC is only effective with Dolby  
Digital audio sources.  
• Audio DRC is only effective through the  
digital output when Digital Out (see  
page 50) is set to On, and Dolby Digital  
Out (see page 51) is set to Dolby Digital  
> PCM.  
How much of a difference you hear depends  
on the material you’re listening to. If the mate-  
rial doesn’t have wide variations in volume,  
you may not notice much change.  
• The effect of Audio DRC depends on your  
speakers and AV receiver settings.

About progressive scan video  
Compared to interlace video, progressive  
scan video effectively doubles the scanning  
rate of the picture, resulting in a very stable,  
flicker-free image. Progressive scan video is  
available only from the component video  
output.

If necessary, use a cloth soaked in alcohol, or  
Taking care of your player and  
discs  
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.  
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.  
Storing 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).  
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.  
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.  
For more detailed care information see the  
instructions that come with discs.  
Wipe lightly from the center of the disc  
using straight strokes.  
Do not load more than one disc into the player  
at a time.  
Don’t wipe the disc surface using circular  
strokes.

Discs to avoid  
Cleaning the pickup lens  
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.  
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.  
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 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.  
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.  
Cleaning the unit’s exterior  
• 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 and wrung out well, then  
wipe again with a dry cloth.  
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:  
Do...  
• Do not use furniture wax or cleaners.  
Never use thinners, benzine or insecticide  
sprays or other chemicals on or near this  
unit since they will corrode the surfaces.  
• Use in a well-ventilated room.  
• Place on a solid, flat, level surface, such  
as a table, shelf or stereo rack.  
• If you use a chemical-impregnated  
cleaning cloth, read the instructions care-  
fully before use. These cloths may leave  
smear marks on half-mirror finish  
surfaces; if this happens, finish with a dry  
cloth.  
Don’t...  
• Use in a place exposed to high tempera-  
tures or humidity, including near radia-  
tors and other heat-generating  
appliances.  
• Place on a window sill or other place  
where the player will be exposed to direct  
sunlight.  
• Unplug the unit when cleaning.  
• Use in an excessively dusty or damp envi-  
ronment.

Additional information  
• Place directly on top of an amplifier, or  
other component in your stereo system  
that becomes hot in use.  
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.  
• 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.  
Televisions, too, come in different aspect  
ratios; ‘standard’ 4:3 and widescreen 16:9.  
• Use on a thick rug or carpet, or cover with  
cloth—this may prevent proper cooling of  
the unit.  
Widescreen TV users  
If you have a widescreen TV, the TV Screen  
setting (page 52) of this player should be set  
to 16:9 (Wide).  
• Place on an unstable surface, or one that  
is not large enough to support all four of  
the unit’s feet.  
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.  
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 play-  
back—discs rotate at a high speed and may  
be damaged.  
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.  
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  
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.  
Standard TV users  
If you have a standard TV, the TV Screen  
setting (page 52) 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.

Additional information  
10  
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.  
Titles, chapters and tracks  
DVD discs are generally divided into one or  
more titles. Titles may be further subdivided  
into chapters.  
Title 1  
Title 2  
Title 3  
Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 1 Chapter 1 Chapter 2  
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.  
CDs and Video CD/Super VCDs are divided  
into tracks.  
Track 1 Track 2 Track 3 Track 4 Track 5 Track 6  
• 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.  
CD-ROMs contain folders and files. MP3 and  
WMA files are referred to as tracks. Folders  
may contain further folders.

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

Glossary  
DRM  
DRM (digital rights management) is a type of  
server software developed to enable secure  
distribution of paid content over the web,  
recently incorporated by WMA (Windows  
Media Audio ).  
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.  
DTS  
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 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  
Digital audio  
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.  
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.  
EXIF (Exchangeable Image File)  
A file format developed by Fuji Photo Film for  
digital still cameras. Digital cameras from  
various manuafcturers use this compressed  
file format which carries date, time and  
thumbnail information, as well as the picture  
data.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
ISO 9660 format  
International standard for the volume and file  
structure of CD-ROM discs.

JPEG  
Regions (DVD-Video only)  
A file format used for still images, such as  
photographs and illustrations. JPEG files are  
identified by the file extension “.jpg” or “.JPG”.  
Most digital cameras use this format.  
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).  
MP3  
MP3 (MPEG1 audio layer 3) is a compressed  
audio file format. Files are recognized by their  
file extension “.mp3” or “.MP3”.  
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.  
MPEG audio  
An audio format used on Video CD/Super  
VCDs 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 Modula-  
tion).  
WMA  
MPEG video  
WMA is short for Windows Media Audio and  
refers to an audio compression technology  
developed by Microsoft Corporation. WMA  
data can be encoded by using Windows  
Media Player version 8 or Windows Media  
Player for Windows XP. Files are recognized  
by their file extension “.wma” or “.WMA”.  
The video format used for Video CD/Super  
VCDs and DVDs. Video CD/Super VCD uses  
the older MPEG-1 standard, while DVD uses  
the newer and much better quality MPEG-2  
standard.  
PBC (PlayBack Control) (Video CD/Super  
VCD only)  
A system of navigating a Video CD/Super VCD  
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.  
Microsoft, Windows Media, and the Windows  
logo are trademarks, or registered trade-  
marks of Microsoft Corporation in the United  
States and/or other countries.  
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.

Setting the TV system  
Watching NTSC on a PAL TV  
(MOD. PAL)  
(Except Taiwanese model)  
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 distor-  
tion 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).  
Most models of the newly developed count-  
down PAL TV system detect 50 Hz (PAL)/60 Hz  
(NTSC) and automatically switch vertical  
amplitude, resulting in a display without  
vertical shrinkage. However, in some cases,  
the image may appear without color.  
If your PAL TV does not have a V-Hold control,  
you may not be able to watch NTSC discs  
because of picture roll. If the TV has a V-Hold  
control, adjust it until the picture stops  
rolling.  
1
If the player is on, press STANDBY/  
ON to switch it to standby.  
On some TVs, the picture may shrink verti-  
cally, leaving black bands at the top and  
bottom of the screen. This is not a malfunc-  
tion; it is caused by the NTSC to PAL conver-  
sion.  
2
Using the front panel controls, hold  
down ꢅꢆ then press STANDBY/ON  
to switch the TV system.  
The TV system changes as follows:  
AUTO NTSC  
NTSC PAL  
PAL AUTO  
The player’s display shows “Welcome  
Pioneer”, then indicates the new setting.  
• You have to switch the player into standby  
(press STANDBY/ON) before each  
change.
