Before you start  
• When naming MP3 files, add the corre-  
sponding file name extension (.mp3).  
Files are played according to the file  
extension. To prevent noise and malfunc-  
tions, do not use these extensions for  
other kinds of files.  
• This player can recognize up to 999 files  
(MP3/JPEG) and up to 499 folders. If a  
disc exceeds these limits, only files and  
folders up to these limits will be playable.  
Files and folders are read/displayed in  
alphabetical order. Note that if the file  
structure is very complex, you may not be  
able to read/play all files on the disc.  
• Folder and track names (excluding the file  
extension) are displayed.  
• There are many different recording bit-  
rates available to encode MP3 files. This  
unit was designed to be compatible with  
all of them. Audio encoded at 128Kbps  
should sound close to regular CD Audio  
quality. This player will play lower bit-rate  
files, but please note that the sound  
quality becomes noticeably worse at  
lower bit-rates.  
JPEG file compatibility  
• Baseline JPEG and EXIF 2.1* still image  
files up to 8 mega-pixels are supported  
(maximum vertical and horizontal resolu-  
tion is 5120 pixels). (*File format used by

files must be ISO 9660 Level 1 or 2  
compliant. CD physical format: Mode1,  
Mode2 XA Form1. Romeo and Joliet file  
systems are both compatible with this  
player.  
• This player only displays files that are  
named with the file extension .jpg or  
.JPG.

Connect the VIDEO OUT and AUDIO  
OUT (2ch) jacks to a set of A/V inputs on  
your TV.  
• 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.)  
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.  
See below if you want to use an S-video,  
component or a D video connection.  
• If you need another pair of stereo outputs  
(and don’t need to use the multichannel  
analog outputs), you can use the AUDIO  
OUT (5.1ch) FRONT L / R jacks  
(page 17).  
• When connecting to your TV as shown  
above, do not set the Component Out  
setting (page 56) to Progressive.

Connecting using the S-video  
output  
• Before unplugging the player from the  
power outlet, make sure you first switch it  
into standby using either the front panel  
ꢂ STANDBY/ON button, or the remote  
control, and wait of the -OFF- message to  
disappear from the player’s display.  
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.  
• For the above reasons, do not plug this  
player into a switched power supply found  
on some amplifiers and AV receivers.  
• When Component Out (page 56) 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,  
using the front panel controls, press  
ꢂ STANDBY/ON while pressing ꢃꢄ  
to switch the player back to Interlace.

This player has standard (composite),  
S-Video and component video outputs (the  
DV-667A (Taiwan model) has a D video  
connector for component video). The main  
difference between them is the quality of the  
picture.  
S-Video delivers a better picture than stan-  
dard composite video, while component video  
gives better picture quality still. The variety of  
outputs also gives you the flexibility of  
connecting your particular equipment using  
the best connection type available.

Load a disc.  
Load a disc with the label side facing up,  
using the disc tray guide to align the disc (if  
you’re loading a double-sided DVD disc, load  
it with the side you want to play face down).  
• After I load a DVD disc, it ejects automati-  
cally 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  
on page 74.  
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 70.  
• 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 70 for  
information on cleaning discs.

Press ꢇ (play) to start playback.  
If you’re playing a DVD or Video CD/Super  
VCD, a menu may appear. See DVD disc  
menus on page 32 and Video CD/Super VCD  
PBC menus on page 33 for more on how to  
navigate these.  
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 10 for more on disc compatibility.  
If you’re playing an MP3 disc, it may take a  
few seconds before playback starts,  
depending on the complexity of the file struc-  
ture on the disc.  
• I have a widescreen TV so why are there  
black bars at the top and bottom of the  
screen when I play some discs?  
If you loaded a CD/CD-R/RW containing  
JPEGs, a slideshow will start. See Viewing  
JPEG discs on page 47 for more on playing  
these 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.  
• See also PhotoViewer on page 66 if the  
disc contains both MP3 audio files and  
JPEG picture files (by default, you will not  
be able to play the MP3 files).  
• 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?  
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.

What’s wrong?  
Basic playback controls  
The table below shows the basic controls on  
the remote for playing discs. The following  
chapter covers more playback features in  
more detail.  
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.

• Is it better to listen to DVD-Audio discs  
through the analog outputs?  
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 down-

Front panel controls  
The ꢇ (play), ꢈ (stop), and ꢆ (pause) buttons  
on the front panel work in exactly the same  
way as their remote control equivalents.  
• When a Video CD is loaded, the Resume  
point is lost if the player is switched off.  
The combined scan/skip buttons on the front  
panel (ꢃ ꢄ and ꢉ ꢊ) work slightly  
differently from the remote buttons. Press  
and hold for fast scan; press for track/chapter  
skip.  
• For the Last Memory function to work, you  
must press ꢈ (stop) to stop playback  
before opening the disc tray.  
• The Last Memory function doesn’t work  
with VR format DVD-RW or DVD-Audio  
discs.  
See Front panel on page 20 for the location  
and description of all the front panel controls  
for your model.  
DVD disc menus  
Many DVD-Video and DVD-Audio discs  
contain menus from which you can select  
what you want to watch or listen to. They may  
give access to additional features, such as  
subtitle and audio language selection, or  
special features such as slideshows. See the  
disc packaging for details.  
• You may find with some DVD discs that  
some playback controls don’t work in  
certain parts of the disc. This is not a  
malfunction.  
• Track skip and number buttons for track  
selection do not work with unfinalized CD-  
R/RW audio discs.  
Sometimes menus are displayed automati-  
cally when you start playback; others only  
appear when you press MENU or TOP MENU.  
Resume and Last Memory  
When you stop playback of a DVD or Video CD  
disc, RESUME is shown in the display indi-  
cating that you can resume playback again  
from that point.  
• Some DVD-Audio discs feature a ‘bonus  
group’. To access this group you have to  
input a password, which you can find on  
the disc’s packaging. See page 64 for  
more information.  
If the disc tray is not opened, the next time you  
start playback the display shows RESUME  
and playback resumes from the resume point.  
For DVD discs only: If you take the disc out of  
the player, the play position is stored in  
memory. When you load the disc next time,  
the display shows LAST MEM and you can  
resume playback (this works for up to five  
discs).

Audio DRC  
• Default setting: Off  
• Audio DRC is only effective with Dolby  
Digital audio sources.  
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 through the  
digital output when Digital Out (see  
page 54) is set to On, and Dolby Digital  
Out (see page 55) 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.  
• Taiwan model and when TV system is set  
to AUTO or NTSC only: When Compo-  
nent Out (see above) is set to Progres-  
sive, there is no video output from the

jacks. If you want to display video on more  
than one monitor simultaneously, make  
sure that it is set to Interlace. See also  
Setting the TV System on page 81.  
• If you connect a TV that is not compatible  
with a progressive scan signal and switch  
the player to progressive, you will not be

Some DVD-Video discs feature a Parental  
Lock level. If your player is set to a lower level  
than the disc, the disc won’t play. This gives  
you some control about what your children  
watch on your DVD player.  
If you prefer not to see the camera icon on-  
screen during multi-angle scenes on DVD  
discs, change this setting to Off.  
Some discs also support the Country code  
feature. The player does not play certain  
scenes on these discs, depending on the  
Country code you set.  
Before you can set the Parental Lock level or  
the Country code you must register a pass-  
word. As the password owner, you can  
change the Parental Lock level or Country  
code whenever you like. You can also change  
the password.  
• Not all discs that you may consider inap-  
propriate for your children use the  
Parental Lock feature. These discs will  
always play without requiring the pass-  
word first.  
• If you forget your password, you’ll need to  
reset the player to its factory settings (see  
Resetting the player on page 73), then  
register a new password.

Additional information  
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  
fingerprints, 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  
performance. 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  
conventional, 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 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.  
Do...  
ꢄUse in a well-ventilated room.  
ꢄPlace 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  
carefully before use.  
Don’t...  
ꢅ Use in a place exposed to high  
temperatures or humidity, including near  
radiators and other heat-generating  
appliances.  
• Unplug the unit when cleaning.  
ꢅ Place on a window sill or other place  
where the player will be exposed to direct  
sunlight.  
ꢅ Use in an excessively dusty or damp  
environment.

Additional information  
ꢅ 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  
CinemaScope widescreen movies, with an  
aspect ratio of up to about 7:3.  
ꢅ Use near a television or monitor as you  
may experience interference—especially  
if the television uses an indoor antenna.  
ꢅ 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.  
ꢅ 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 56) of this player should be set  
to 16:9 (Wide).  
ꢅ 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  
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.  
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 56) 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.

Dolby Digital  
1
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.  
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.  
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  
R
Bonus Group (DVD-Audio only)  
An ‘extra’ group on some DVD-Audio discs  
that requires a key number to access. See  
also Bonus Group on page 64.  
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.  
Browsable pictures (DVD-Audio only)  
A feature of some DVD-Audio discs in which  
the user can browse still pictures recorded on  
the disc as the audio is played. See also  
Slideshow.  
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 dynamic range,  
delivering dramatic cinema-like effects.  
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, 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.

File extension  
Packed PCM (DVD-Audio only)  
A tag added to the end of a filename to  
indicate the type of file. For example, “.mp3”  
indicates an MP3 file.  
A lossless compression system that enables  
more PCM audio to be stored on a DVD-Audio  
disc than would otherwise be possible.  
Interlaced video  
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.  
A method of displaying a picture in which  
odd-numbered lines are updated in one pass,  
then even-numbered lines updated in the  
next. See also Progressive scan video.  
ISO 9660 format  
International standard for the volume and file  
structure of CD-ROM discs.  
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.  
JPEG  
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.  
MP3  
MP3 (MPEG1 audio layer 3) is a compressed  
audio file format. Files are recognized by their  
file extension “.mp3” or “.MP3”.  
Progressive scan video  
Also called non-interlaced video, this method  
of displaying a picture updates all the lines in  
one pass, resulting in a more stable, flicker-  
free image than interlaced video (for a given  
scanning rate). See also Interlaced video. See  
also page 57.  
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  
Modulation).  
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).  
MPEG video  
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.

ratio information (4:3 or 16:9) within the video  
signal. TVs which are compatible with S1 S-  
video automatically switch aspect ratio  
according to the signal. See also S-Video Out  
on page 58.  
S2 S-video output  
S2 is an enhanced version of S-video which, in  
addition to aspect ratio information, contains  
letterbox / pan & scan information.  
Widescreen TVs which are compatible with  
S2 S-video automatically switch aspect ratio  
according to the signal. See also S-Video Out  
on page 58.  
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.  
Slidshow (DVD, Video CD/Super VCD)  
A feature of some DVD discs and Video-CDs/  
Super VCDs in which still pictures recorded  
on the disc cycle automatically as the audio is  
played. See also Browsable Picture.  
Super Audio CD (SACD)

format that can accommodate high sampling  
rate stereo and multi-channel audio, as well  
as conventional CD audio all on the same  
disc.

Setting the TV System

Watching NTSC on a PAL TV  
(Except DV-563A and DV-667A Taiwanese  
model)  
Most models of the newly developed  
countdown 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.  
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  
distortion 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).  
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.  
On some TVs, the picture may shrink  
vertically, leaving black bands at the top and  
bottom of the screen. This is not a  
malfunction; it is caused by the NTSC to PAL  
conversion.
