525 line digital progressive-scan

component video output

Compared to standard interlaced video, progressive scan

effectively doubles the amount of video information fed

to your TV or monitor. The result is a stable, flicker-free

image. (Check your TV/monitor for compatibility with this

feature.)

For the very highest picture quality, try watching a movie

on DVD-Video on a progressive-scan compatible TV.

Of course, the DV-C603 also has composite video and S-

video outs for connection to all types of video

equipment.

How to Proceed in This

Manual

DVD is an incredible format that presents the highest

quality digital audio and video available today. The

amount of information that can be recorded onto a DVD

disc is remarkable, allowing it to offer numerous

functions and features available with no other format.

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.

DVD

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 disc.

DVD player functions generally apply to titles on a disc or

chapters within a selected title. The player functions

available may also vary from title to title, depending on

the disc. When discs have a unique title division, it

should be noted that search and program functions may

be affected.

Get familiar with 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 “Names 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.

There is also a list of terms that can be found on page 59

if you are having trouble understanding some of the

terminology associated with DVD.

DVD

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.

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.

Set up the necessary player

menus.

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 18 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 26, 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.

When all the connections and setups have been made,

you are ready to play a DVD, Video CD, or CD with the

player. The section “Getting Started Using Your DVD

Player” starting on page 21 outlines the basic player

operations.

Enjoy the many features available.

Once you are comfortable using the basic player

functions, you are ready to take advantage of the various

options DVD and this player have to offer. The section

“Advanced Functions” starting on page 40 describes

how to use the features available on many DVDs.

Connection Guide

Making

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 15 to 17. 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 19).

Additionally, you can use the [TV Screen] setting in the

Setup screen Video menu (page 30).

Connections

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

STANDBY/ON making sure that nothing is being

displayed in the display window, and then unplug the

power cord from the power outlet.

• The 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.

Tip:

525 line Digital Progressive

Scan Compatible Video Output

– DVD

If this player is set to output progressive-scan video, it’s

possible that the picture will appear stretched when playing

discs recorded in 4:3 format. This happens when the TV’s

aspect ratio is set at 16:9. To see the picture in its correct

aspect ratio, change the TV setting to 4:3.

If your TV can be switched between 4:3 and 16:9, set this

player to [Interlace] or [Auto progressive]. In Auto

progressive mode, 4:3 discs will be played in Interlace mode,

while discs that are recorded in both 4:3 and 16:9 will play in

interlace mode during the 4:3 sections, and in progressive

mode during the 16:9 parts. Switch your TV’s aspect ratio to

the most suitable setting (for more details, see the manual that

came with your TV). When set to [Auto progressive], you may

see picture disturbance when this player (and the TV) switches

between progressive and interlace modes. This is not a

malfunction of either this player or the TV. Picture disturbance

should only occur when switching from a menu screen to the

main feature, for example.

Connecting to a progressive scan-

compatible TV

Compared to a standard interlaced TV picture, a

progressive scan TV is capable of stable, flicker-free

images.

Set only if you connected the COMPONENT VIDEO

OUT jacks to a progressive scan-compatible TV or

monitor.

When making component video connections, make sure

to set the VIDEO OUT SELECT switch on the rear panel

of the player to the right to assign component video

output (page 17).

Note

When a progressive-scan video signal is output, the

“PROGRESSIVE” indicator lights in the display.

Make changes to the [Component Video] setting in the

Setup screen Video menu.

If you connect a TV that is not compatible with a

progressive scan signal and choose one of the

progressive scan settings, you will not be able to see any

picture at all. If you accidently do this, set the VIDEO OUT

SELECT switch on the rear panel to COMPOSITE & S-

VIDEO. With your TV connected using either the composite

or S-Video terminals, choose the [Interlace] setting in the

[Component Video] menu, then set the rear panel switch

back to COMPONENT.

Playing CDs only (CD Mode) – CD

• You can't switch on CD mode while playing a DVD or Video

CD. Stop playback first.

Using this feature you can play only the CDs loaded in

the disc tray—automatically skipping over any DVDs or

Video CDs loaded. This may be useful if you have a

mixture of discs loaded but only want to play music: you

don't have to keep track of what kind of disc is where in

the disc tray.

• In CD mode, a disc number with a disc mark ( ) indicates

a CD (page 10).

• The DISC SKIP button is ineffective if all the other discs

loaded are DVDs or Video CDs, or if all the other disc trays

are empty.

• Although program play is not possible in CD mode, it is

possible to program a playlist. When you start program

playback, however, CD mode is canceled (pages 48, 49).

Disc Care

How to hold discs

When loading or removing

discs, try not to touch their

playing surfaces.

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.

Do not wipe in a circular

direction (Concentric

Gently wipe from the

inside toward the outer

scratches in the disc groove edge.

tend to cause noise.)

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 warped 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 with special shapes

CD’s 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.

After using discs, store them upright

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.

• 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.

CAUTION: WHEN USING THE DISC

Unauthorized public performance, broadcasting or

copying is a violation of applicable laws.

Condensation

For Proper and Long Use of

This Unit

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

Do not move 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.

When moving the unit

When changing places of installation or packing the unit

for moving, be sure to remove all discs and return the

disc table to its original position in the player. Then,

press STANDBY/ON and switch the power to

standby. Check that the “--OFF--” indication on the

display goes off, then disconnect the power cord.

Moving this unit with the disc loaded may result in

damage to this unit.

the breeze from an air

conditioner. In such

cases, change the

location of the player.

Switch POWER to STANDBY when not using

the unit

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

standby.

Installation

• 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.

Power-cord caution

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.

Avoid installing in a place that is:

• 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

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.

Avoid heat

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.

Lens cleaner

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.

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.

Notes on using optical cables

• Do not route cords around sharp

angles. When storing, wind the cords

so that they have a diameter of at least

15 cm (6 in.).

15 cm (6 in.) dia.

or more

• When connecting, push all the way

into the terminal.

• Do not use cords with a length of over

3 m(10 ft.).

• If moisture or dust has collected on the plug, wipe it

with a soft cloth before connecting.

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. In

order to enjoy the benefits of DTS encoded discs, the

digital output jack (either coaxial or optical) of this player

needs to be connected to an AV amplifier or receiver or

to a DTS decoder to be able to enjoy the

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.

surround sound of DTS audio. DTS audio is

not output from the analog audio outputs.

Chapter number

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.

Dynamic 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.

Component (color difference) video output

The color signal of the TV is divided into the luminance

(Y) signal and the color (PB and PR) signals and then

output. In this way mutual interference of each signal is

avoided. On a TV with component input jacks, these

signals are synthesized to produce the picture.

MPEG

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.

Condition memory

“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.

Multi-angle

When you watch a TV program, you are watching the

image filmed through the TV camera. Because of this,

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 bitstream

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.

Digital output (Coaxial)

Parental lock level

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.

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.

PCM

Digital output (Optical)

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.

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.

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.

You can also enjoy viewing high-resolution/standard

resolution still images.

Dolby Digital

The maximum 5.1 channels of audio used in the

surround system (Surround Digital) for movie theaters is

digital data compressed by the third generation algorithm

encoder.

In order to enjoy Dolby Digital discs, this unit’s digital

output jack (either coaxial or optical) must be connected

to the digital input jack of an AV amplifier or Dolby Digital

decoder to enjoy the sound of Dolby Digital soundtracks.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

Regional restriction codes (region number)

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.

Sampling Frequency

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.

Time number

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 number

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.

We Want You Listening For A

Lifetime

Selecting fine audio equipment suchasthe 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

theElectronicIndustriesAssociation’sConsumerElectronics

Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by

loud and clear without annoying blaring or distortion-and,

most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing.

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

ConsumerElectronicsGrouprecommendyouavoidprolonged

exposure to excessive noise. This list of sound levels is

included for your protection.

Decibel

Level Example

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.

Quiet library, soft whispers

Livingroom,refrigerator,bedroomawayfromtraffic

Light traffic, normal conversation, quiet office

Air conditioner at 20 feet, sewing machine

Vacuum cleaner, hair dryer, noisy restaurant

Average city traffic, garbage disposals, alarm clock

at two feet.

To establish a safe level:

• Start your volume control at a low setting.

• Slowlyincreasethesounduntilyoucanhearitcomfortably

and clearly, and without distortion.

THE FOLLOWING NOISES CAN BE

DANGEROUS UNDER CONSTANT EXPOSURE

Once you have established a comfortable sound level:

• Set the dial and leave it there.

Subway, motorcycle, truck traffic, lawn mower

Garbage truck, chain saw, pneumatic drill

Rock band concert in front of speakers, thunderclap

Gunshot blast, jet plane

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.
