How to Proceed in This  
Manual  
DVD is an incredible format that presents the highest  
quality digital audio and video available today.  
DVD  
Because using the DVD player and DVDs may be  
confusing at first, following the order below should help  
you get through the important stages of getting set up  
so you can start using your player as soon as possible.  
DVDs are divided into units referred to as titles, and  
titles are divided into chapters. A DVD which contains a  
movie may have only one title with many or no chapter  
divisions. Karaoke DVDs may have many titles, assigning  
a title to each song on the DVD. Menu screens do not  
belong to any title.  
Get fam iliar w ith the player.  
Refer to the section Before Using” on page 8 to  
confirm that all the accessories were included with the  
player. If you are new to DVD, it might be beneficial for  
you to go through the Nam es and Functions” section  
starting on page 9 to get familiar with the parts and  
buttons on the main unit and remote control as they will  
be referred to throughout this manual.  
DVD player functions generally apply to titles on a DVD  
or chapters within a selected title. The player functions  
available may also vary from title to title, depending on  
the DVD. When discs have a unique title division, it  
should be noted that search and program functions may  
be affected.  
Title 1  
Chapter 2

Chapter 1 Chapter 2  
There is also a list of terms that can be found on page 62  
if you are having trouble understanding some of the  
terminology associated with DVD.  
Chapter 1  
Make the necessary connections.  
No entertainment system seems to be set up exactly  
the same way. The Making Connections” section  
starting on page 15 shows how video and audio  
connections may be made to suit your home  
entertainment system.  
DVD  
Set up the necessary player  
m enus.  
Video CD/ CD  
Video CDs and CDs are divided into units referred to as  
tracks (Video CD tracks may also be referred to as  
scenes). One song generally corresponds to one track.  
Some tracks are further divided into units referred to as  
indexes. Video CDs with PBC (Playback Control) also  
contain menus recorded on the disc which enable easy  
access to the contents of the disc.  
Before you can begin to enjoy the benefits of the DVD  
format, it is first necessary to set up the player to output  
the video and audio information that corresponds to your  
system. The section Setting Up the Player” starting  
on page 21 explains how to use the Setup Navigator, a  
function that automatically sets up the player  
When played back on a DVD player, both Video CDs and  
CDs are considered to be a single title, regardless of the  
number of tracks.  
corresponding to the answers given in a multiple-choice  
on-screen procedure. The Setup screen menus,  
described in the section starting on page 29, are also  
used in a number of other functions. Learning the  
procedure for operating these menus will make using  
this player much easier and more enjoyable.

Connection Guide  
Making  
Connections  
The illustration on this page shows the basic setup using  
the audio and video cords included with this player. Use  
this illustration as a guide to setting up your home  
system.  
An explanation of each type of audio and video  
connection available can be found on pages 17 to 20. To  
determine the best audio and video connection setup for  
your system, refer to the manuals supplied with the  
components you are making connections to.  
In addition to making physical connections to your TV or  
monitor, it is also necessary to assign the TV screen size.  
You can use the [Setup Navigator] in the Setup screen  
General menu to set whether you are using a wide  
screen or standard size TV or monitor (page 22).  
Additionally, you can use the [TV Screen] setting in the  
Setup screen Video menu (page 34).  
Connecting Your DVD Player  
Unlike any other audiovisual media format, DVD offers a  
wide array of audio and video output options which  
allows playback to be enjoyed in any number of system  
configurations from a standard TV with stereo audio  
input to a home theater system with a TV or monitor and  
full surround sound capabilities.  
Notes  
When making connections to this unit or when changing  
connections, check that the unit is off by pressing POWER  
(
STANDBY/ ON) and unplug the power cord from the  
power outlet.  
The analog video output on this player uses copy protect  
circuitry to prevent the video playback on DVDs from being  
copied. If you connect the player to a TV via a VCR, or  
record and play back the contents of a disc with a VCR, the  
playback picture may not be normal.

5.1 CHANNEL AUDIO OUT  
Analog Audio Connection:  
5.1 channel audio refers to the current industry surround  
sound standard requiring two front speakers, a center  
speaker, two surround (rear) speakers and a sub woofer.  
Although in actuality there are 6 channels, because the  
sub woofer channel, or LFE channel, makes up a mere  
fraction of the total audio soundtrack, it has been  
designated as the 0.1 of the 5.1 system.  
After making physical connections to either the AUDIO  
OUT (2 CH) or AUDIO OUT (5.1 CH) analog jacks, be  
sure to identify which output you are going to be using  
in the [Analog J acks] screen of the Setup Navigator  
(page 23). You can also manually set the output in the  
[Audio Out] setting of the Setup screen Audio 2 menu  
(page 32).  
By utilizing the players internal multichannel audio  
decoder, the audio of Dolby Digital and DTS DVDs can  
be output from the 5.1 channel discrete outputs to an AV  
amplifier or receiver with 5.1 channel input capability.  
Notes  
• When [5.1 Channel] is selected, the front right (R) and left  
(L) audio channels are output from the AUDIO OUT (2 CH)  
jacks.  
• Use audio cables to make connections from the  
players AUDIO OUT (5.1 CH) jacks to the equivalent  
input jacks on the AV amplifier or receiver.  
• The [Audio Out] setting creates an audio output default for  
the player. If connections are made to both AUDIO OUT (2  
CH) and AUDIO OUT (5.1 CH) analog jacks to make  
different audio connections for multichannel and stereo  
audio sources, it is possible to switch between 2 channel  
and 5.1 channel audio output by pressing 5.1 CH MODE on  
the front panel. However, this button does not work when  
the GUIindicator is lit.  
• When making 5.1 channel analog audio connections,  
be sure to match the left and right channels on both  
components, and also make sure that the jacks of all  
the channels are connected correctly on both  
components.  
• Either 2 single audio cords or a stereo cord may be  
used to connect the CENTER and SUB WOOFER  
channels to the AV amplifier or receiver.  
2 CHANNEL AUDIO OUT  
Make analog audio connections to a stereo amplifier  
or receiver.  
• When making this kind of connection, be sure to  
select [5.1 Channel] in the Setup Navigator [Analog  
J acks] screen (page 23).  
Analog audio connections can also be made to a TV or  
monitor with stereo input jacks.  
Use the supplied audio cable to connect one of the  
AUDIO OUT (2 CH) jacks on the player to the audio  
input on the stereo amplifier or receiver.

Setting the OSD Language  
Setting the TV screen size  
(On-Screen Display Language)  
The [TV Type] screen establishes the size, or more  
appropriately the width to height ration of your television  
or monitor. The width-to-height ratio of conventional TVs  
is 4:3, while the width-to-height ratio of wide screen and  
high-definition TVs is 16:9. This width-to-height ratio is  
called the aspect ratio.  
The [OSD Language] screen establishes the OSD  
language, or on-screen display language, which refers to  
the language that is used by the player in menus and  
on-screen messages. Additionally, the language that is  
established at this setting will also be used for the  
default audio and subtitle language.

Disc Care  
After using discs, store them upright  
How to hold discs  
After playing a disc, always remove it from the player  
and return it to its jacket. Then store it standing upright  
away from heat and humidity.  
When loading or removing  
discs, try not to touch their  
playing surfaces.  
• Store discs carefully. If you store discs at an angle, or  
stacked on top of each other, discs may become  
warped even when in their jackets.  
• Do not leave discs in locations such as the seat of a  
car, which may become excessively hot.  
Cleaning  
Fingerprints or other dirt on the disc may affect sound  
and picture quality.  
To clean your discs, use a soft clean cloth to wipe them.  
If necessary, moisten a soft cloth with diluted neutral  
detergent to remove heavy dirt or fingerprints.  
CAUTION WHEN USING THE DISC  
All rights reserved.  
Unauthorized public performance, broadcasting or  
copying is a violation of applicable laws.  
Do not w ipe in a circular  
direction (Concentric

Discs must not be cleaned with record cleaning sprays,  
or static prevention sprays, etc. Also do not use volatile  
liquids such as benzine, or thinner, etc.  
Never play cracked or w arped discs  
The disc revolves in the player at high speed when it is  
played. Never play a cracked,  
scratched or warped disc. This may  
damage the player or cause it to  
malfunction.  
Never use discs w ith special shapes  
CDs with special shapes (heart-shaped CDs, octagonal  
CDs, etc.) cannot be played on this  
set.  
Attempting to do so may damage the  
set. Do not use such CDs.

Lens cleaner  
For Proper and Long Use of  
This Unit  
The player's pickup lens should not become dirty in  
normal use, but if for some reason it should malfunction  
due to soiling, contact your nearest PIONEER authorized  
service center. Lens cleaners are commercially available,  
but special care should be exercised in their use since  
some may cause damage to the lens.  
Do not m ove the unit during playback  
During playback, the disc rotates at high speed. Do NOT  
lift or move the unit during playback. Doing so may  
damage the disc.  
Condensation  
Moisture may form in the operating section of the player  
if the player is brought from cool surroundings into a  
warm room or if the temperature of the room rises  
suddenly. When this happens, the players performance  
will be impaired.  
To prevent this, let the player stand in its new  
surroundings for about an hour before switching it on, or  
make sure that the room temperature rises gradually.  
Condensation may also  
form during the  
summer if the player is  
exposed to the breeze  
from an air conditioner.  
When m oving the unit  
When changing places of installation or packing the unit  
for moving, be sure to remove the disc and return the  
disc table to its original position in the player. Turn off the  
player and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet in  
a manner appropriate for your player model as follows.  
Press on the remote control to switch the power to  
standby checking that the “–OFF–” indication in the  
display goes off. Press POWER on the front panel to  
turn the player off, and then disconnect the power cord.  
(Taiwanese m odel: Press STANDBY/ ON to switch  
the power to standby. Check that the “OFF–”  
indication in the display goes off, then disconnect the  
power cord. )  
Moving this unit with the disc loaded may result in  
damage to this unit.  
In such cases, change  
the location of the player.  
Sw itch POWER OFF (or STANDBY) w hen not  
using the unit  
Installation  
Depending on the strength of the TV or radio broadcast  
signal, having the TV or radio on while  
power to the unit is on may result in  
stripes on the TV screen or noise.  
However, this is not a malfunction of  
this unit or the TV or radio. In such a  
case, switch the power of the unit to  
off (standby).  
• Select a stable place to the side of a TV set or stereo  
system to be connected to the unit.  
• When using the unit with a stereo system, install the  
speakers a little bit away from the TV.  
• Do NOT install the unit on top of a TV or color monitor.  
Install the unit away from equipment that may be  
affected by magnetism, such as a cassette deck.  
• Do NOT place objects on top of the unit.  
Pow er-cord caution  
Avoid installing in a place that is:  
Handle the power cord by the plug. Do not pull out the  
plug by tugging the cord and never touch the power cord  
when your hands are wet as this could cause a short  
circuit or electric shock. Do not place the unit, a piece of  
furniture, etc., on the power cord, or pinch the cord.  
Never make a knot in the cord or tie it with other cords.  
The power cords should be routed in such a way that  
they are not likely to be stepped on. A damaged power  
cord can cause a fire or give you an electrical shock.  
Check the power cord once in a while. When you find it  
damaged, ask your nearest PIONEER authorized service  
center or your dealer for a replacement.  
• Exposed to direct sunlight  
• Exposed to humidity or where ventilation is poor  
• Extremely hot or cold  
• Exposed to vibration  
• Exposed to dust  
• Exposed to oily smoke, steam or heat (for example, a  
kitchen)  
Do not block vents  
Do NOT use the player on top of a long-fibered carpet,  
bed or sofa, and do not cover it with a cloth, etc. This  
will prevent heat radiation and could result in damage.  
Cleaning the player  
Avoid heat  
To clean the PLAYER, wipe with a soft, dry cloth. For  
stubborn dirt, wet a soft cloth with a mild detergent  
solution made by diluting one part detergent to 5 or 6  
parts water, wring well, then wipe off the dirt. Also use a  
dry cloth to wipe the surface dry. Do not use volatile  
liquids such as benzene and thinner which are harmful to  
the unit.  
Do NOT place the unit on equipment which generates  
heat, such as an amplifier.  
When installing the unit in a rack, place it on the lowest  
shelf possible (however, not where it is exposed to dust)  
and separated from the amplifier to avoid the heat  
generated by the amplifier or other audio equipment.  
Notes on using fiber-optic cables  
CAUTION: WHEN PLACING THE UNIT IN A  
STEREO RACK WITH GLASS DOORS  
Be sure there is ample space between the unit and  
the glass doors when opening the disc table using  
the remote control. If the disc table opens against  
strong resistance, such as a closed glass door,  
damage to the unit may result.  
• Do not route cords around sharp  
angles. When storing, wind the cords  
so that they have a diameter of at least  
15 cm dia.  
or m ore  
15 cm.  
• When connecting, push all the way  
into the terminal.  
• Do not use cords with a length of over  
3 m.  
• If moisture or dust has collected on the plug, wipe it  
with a soft cloth before connecting.

Aspect ratio  
Aspect ratio refers to the length to height ratio of TV  
screens. The ratio of a standard TV is 4:3, while the ratio  
of a high-definition or wide TV is 16:9. The latter allows  
you to enjoy a picture with a wider perspective.  
Dynam ic range  
Dynamic range refers to the difference between the  
maximum and minimum levels of the audio soundtrack  
as measured in decibels (dB).  
Compressing the dynamic range raises the minimum  
signal level and lowers the maximum signal level. This  
allows you to hear voices and other low level audio  
signals clearly while lowering strong audio signals like  
the sound of explosions.  
Chapter num ber  
Chapter numbers are the numbers assigned to sections  
of a title on the disc, similar to chapters in a book. If the

The bitstream does not refer to the audio signal, but  
rather to the digital data that, once converted, becomes  
the audio signal. The player outputs digital bitstreams via  
the digital optical or digital coaxial output. If the  
bitstream cannot be decoded by the connected AV  
amplifier etc., digital noise is produced. Digital bitstream  
formats compatible with different entertainment  
systems can be selected in the Setup screen Audio 1  
menu.  
the picture is displayed on your TV from the viewpoint of  
the TV cameras position. In a TV studio, the image is  
filmed by many cameras at the same time, and one of  
those images is selected by the program director and  
transmitted to your TV. If all the filmed images were  
transmitted to your TV you would be able to select the  
camera image you want. Some DVD discs are recorded  
with the angles of more than one camera used for  
filming, and these can be selected using this player.  
These types of discs are called multi-angle discs.  
Digital output (Coaxial)  
Output of the digital audio signal is transmitted  
electronically using a coaxial cable. Because the signal  
being transmitted is digital, connection must be made to  
the coaxial digital input of another component. Noise will  
be output if connected to the analog audio inputs as the  
digital signal cannot be decoded.  
Parental lock level  
This function was suggested by parents concerned  
about what type of media their children were able to  
watch. Parental lock restrictions are restrictions  
incorporated into titles which include scenes that  
parents may not wish their children to view.  
Digital output (Optical)  
Normally, audio is converted to an electric signal and  
transmitted through an electric wire from the player to  
the amplifier, etc. Changing this signal to a digital signal  
and transmitting it through an fiber-optic cable is called  
optical digital output. Similarly, optical digital input  
receives digital signals from external units such as an AV  
amplifier or receiver.  
PCM  
PCM stands for Pulse Code Modulation and is digital  
audio. The digital audio of CDs is PCM. This player also  
has a function that converts Dolby Digital and MPEG  
digital bitstreams into PCM to enable you to listen to  
quality digital sound even without a special decoder.  
Playback Control (PBC)  
This refers to signals recorded on a Video CD (Version  
2.0) enabling playback control.  
You can use menus recorded on discs with PBC for  
easy, interactive search for desired scenes, and  
playback.  
Dolby Digital  
Dolby Digital offers a maximum of 5.1 independent  
audio channels. This system is the same as that used in  
move theaters.  
1
You can also enjoy viewing high-resolution/standard  
resolution still images.  
This unit has a built-in Dolby Digital decoder. To enjoy  
Dolby Digital sound, connect this unit to an AV amplifier  
with 5.1 channel analog inputs.

Regional restriction codes (region num ber)  
Tim e num ber  
Regional restriction codes are built in to DVD players and  
DVD discs for each sales region. If the regional code of  
the DVD player does not match one of the regional  
codes of the DVD disc, playback is not possible.  
The region number can be found on the rear panel of the  
DVD player. The illustration below shows the regions  
and corresponding region numbers.  
The time number corresponds to the elapsed playback  
time of a disc from its beginning. When using the time  
search function, use the time number to locate scenes  
that occur at the time selected.  
Title num ber  
DVD discs are divided into units referred to as titles, and  
titles are divided into chapters. Menu screens do not  
belong to any title. A disc which contains a movie may  
have only one title with many or no chapter divisions.  
Karaoke discs may have many titles, assigning a title to  
each song on the disc.  
TruSurround  
TruSurround is a simulated surround system which  
produces a surround sound effect from stereo speakers.  
Virtual Dolby Digital  
Sam pling Frequency  
Virtual Dolby Digital uses Dolby Digital multichannel  
audio sources to create a realistic surround sound effect  
from stereo speakers.  
When a sound wave is converted to a digital signal, the  
sound is sampled and converted to data at a specific  
frequency rate. For example, a signal with a 96 kHz  
sampling rate indicates that in one second, the analog  
signal was sampled 96000 times to produce the digital  
signal.  
Subtitle  
Subtitles are language titles superimposed on movies, or  
other media. Up to 32 different subtitle languages can  
be recorded on a DVD disc. The subtitle function can be  
used to select the language of your choice.  
S-video  
Connecting the S-video output on the player to a TV or  
monitor with S-video input via an S-video cable produces  
clearer picture reproduction by sending separate signals  
for the luminance and the color. These signals are then  
combined by the television to produce a better quality  
picture.  
System control  
When you connect this player via a cord with a mini plug  
to another Pioneer component such as a receiver or an  
amplifier bearing the Î mark, you can control the player  
as though it were a component in a system. To control  
the player, point the players remote control at the  
component that the player is connected to, and not the  
player itself.
