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.

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.

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,

used in a number of other functions. Learning the
procedure for operating these menus will make using
this player much easier and more enjoyable.

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
•

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 player’s 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
player’s 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 “GUI” indicator 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

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.

This player is capable of outputting digital signals with a
sampling frequency of 96 kHz. If you have made
connections to a component capable of processing this
signal rate, select [96 kHz] for the signal to be output as
is. As some components are incapable of processing
digital signal input with sampling rates of 96 kHz,
selecting [96 kHz 3 48 kHz] compresses the signal to a
standard signal with a sampling rate of 48 kHz.

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

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 player’s 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.

DTS
Terms
DTS stands for Digital Theater System. DTS
is a surround system different from Dolby
Digital that has become a popular surround
sound format for movies.
R
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
disc includes chapter numbers, you can locate the
section you want very quickly using search and other
functions.
Condition m em ory
MPEG
“Condition” refers to the various mode settings, etc. On
this player, various conditions, such as those set during
playback, can be memorized. This function allows you to
play back the same disc at any time without having to
redo your preferred settings.
Short for Moving Picture Experts Group. This is an
international standard for compression of moving
images. On some DVDs, digital audio has been
compressed and recorded in this format.
Multi-angle
Digital bitstream
When you watch a TV program, you are watching the
image filmed through the TV camera. Because of this,
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 camera’s 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 player’s remote control at the
component that the player is connected to, and not the
player itself.
