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.
Information courtesy of the Deafness Research Foundation.
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.

This player is compatible with progressive
video Macro Vision System Copy Guard.
from the component video outputs
This player can output progressive scan video
from the component video output. Compared
to interlace video, progressive scan video
effectively doubles the scanning rate of the
picture, resulting in a very stable, flicker-free
image.
Consumers should note that not all high-
definition television sets are fully compatible
with this product and may cause artifacts to be
displayed in the picture. In case of 525
progressive scan picture problems, it is
recommended that the user switch the
connection to the ‘standard definition’ output
(Interlace). If there are questions regarding our
TV set compatibility with this model, please
contact our customer service center.
To set up the player for use with a progressive
scan TV, see Video Output settings on page 36.
When the player is set to output progressive
scan video, the PRGSVE indicator lights in the
front panel display.
This player is compatible with the following
Pioneer displays and monitors:
Important
• If you connect a TV that is not compatible
with a progressive scan signal and switch
the player to progressive, you will not be
able to see any picture at all. In this case,

Connecting up
Connecting the multichannel analog
outputs
Connecting to an AV receiver
You can connect this player to your AV receiver
using the multichannel analog outputs or one
of the digital outputs.
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.
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 MULTICHANNEL 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.

Tip
• After connecting up and switching on, you
should change the Audio Output Mode
setting in the Initial Setup menu from the
default 2 Channel to 5.1 Channel. See
also Audio Output Mode on page 41.

Connecting the digital output
This player has both optical and coaxial-type
digital audio outputs for connection to an AV
receiver. Connect whichever is convenient.
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 35 and refer to the operating instructions
that came with your AV receiver.
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.

FAQ
• 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?
• After I load a DVD disc, it ejects
automatically after a few seconds!
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 47.
For digital copy-protection purposes, some
96/88.2kHz DVD discs only output digital
audio downsampled to 48/44.1kHz. This is
not a malfunction.
To fully take advantage of the high
sampling rate audio, connect the analog
audio outputs to your amplifier/receiver.
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 45.
• Why can’t I hear SACD audio through the
digital outputs?
• Why won’t the disc I loaded play?
SACD audio is only available through the
analog outputs. This is not a malfunction.
Some DVD-Audio discs too only output
audio through the analog outputs.
First check that you loaded the disc the
right way up (label side up), and that it’s
clean and undamaged. See Taking care of
your player and discs on page 45 for
information on cleaning discs.
• Is it better to listen to DVD-Audio discs
through the analog outputs?
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 8 for more on disc compatibility.
Some DVD-Audio discs do not output
anything through the digital outputs, and
multichannel discs are downmixed to
stereo for the digital output. In addition,
high sampling rate DVD-Audio discs
(higher than 96kHz) automatically
downsample audio output from the digital
outputs.
• I have a widescreen TV so why are there
black bars at the top and bottom of the
screen when I play some discs?
Using the multichannel analog audio
outputs for DVD-Audio have none of these
limitations.
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.
• My DVD-Audio disc starts playing, but then
suddenly stops!
The disc may have been illegally copied.

Additional information
This player is designed to be used only with
Taking care of your player and
discs
conventional, fully circular discs. Do not use
shaped discs. Pioneer disclaims all liability
arising in connection with the use of shaped
discs.
General
Hold discs by the edge or by the center hole
and edge.
Cleaning 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.
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).
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.
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 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.
Damaged and shaped discs
Do not use cracked, chipped, warped, or
otherwise damaged discs as they may damage
the player.
Cleaning the unit’s exterior
Unplug the unit before cleaning.
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.
Do not use furniture wax or cleaners. Never
use thinners, benzine or insecticide sprays or
other chemicals on or near this unit.

Additional information
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.
Widescreen TV users
If you have a widescreen TV, the TV Screen
setting (page 36) of this player should be set to
16:9 (Wide).
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.
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. We
do not recommend using commercially
available lens cleaners for CD players.
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.
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.
Standard TV users
If you have a standard TV, the TV Screen
setting (page 36) 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.
Moving the player
If you need to move the player, first press
ꢂ 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 playback—discs rotate
at a high speed and may be damaged.
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.
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.
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.
Televisions, too, come in different aspect
ratios; ‘standard’ 4:3 and widescreen 16:9.

DVD-Video regions
All DVD-Video discs carry a region mark on the
case somewhere that indicates which
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
player.
