Composition
How to Proceed in This
Manual
DVD is an incredible format that presents the highest
quality digital audio and video available today. 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 DVD. Menu screens do not
belong to any title.
Get familiar with the player.
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 DVDs have a unique title division, it
should be noted that search and program functions may
be affected.
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.
There is also a list of terms that can be found on page 76
if you are having trouble understanding some of the
terminology associated with 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.
DVD
Set up the player.
Video CD/CD
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 corresponding to your system. The
section “Setting Up the Player” starting on page 20
explains how to use the Setup Navigator, a function that
automatically sets up your player. The Setup screen
menus, described in the section starting on page 39, 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.
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.
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.
Load the disc rack and play discs.
Track 1
Track 2
Track 3
Track 4
When all the connections and setups have been made,
you are ready to play your DVDs, Video CDs, and CDs
with the player. The section “Getting Started Using Your
DVD Player” starting on page 23 outlines the basic
player operations.
Video CD
Track 2
Organize the discs in the disc rack.
The section “Disc Management” on page 30 helps you
manage the discs you have loaded in the rack by making
use of the Sub Setup screen menus. By taking advantage
of this player’s text input and cross-referencing

capabilities, it is quick and easy to find the disc you want.
CD
Enjoy the other 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 49 describes a
number of functions available with this player.

This player is capable of digital audio output for Dolby
Digital, DTS, MPEG, and signals with a sampling rate of
96 kHz. Make settings in the Setup screen Audio 1

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

DV-F727 players
After connections between the two units have been
made, when the power is turned on, “-MASTER-” will
appear in the display window of the Master player and
“–SLAVE–” will appear in the display window of the

the video signals. Therefore, video signals input
at the VIDEO IN jacks are not output from the
S-VIDEO OUT jacks, and video signals input at
the S-VIDEO IN jacks are not output from the
VIDEO OUT jacks.
Getting both players set up...
After connections have been made, it is recommended
to use the Setup Navigator for simultaneous setup of
both players. Settings made in the Setup Navigator are
applied to both players, however, the settings in the
Setup screen are applied to each player separately.
When Setup screen settings are changed during
playback, the setting is applied to the operating player.
Because some settings cannot be changed during
playback, stop disc playback before attempting to make
changes.
• Component video connection from the Slave
player is not possible.

Additional
Information
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.
Disc Care
DISC CAUTIONS WHEN USING THIS PLAYER
• When changing or inserting discs, make sure that the
rack is stopped. Do not attempt to load a disc into the
player when the rack is moving.
• Never insert more than one disc at a time into one
slot. This can scratch or damage the discs.
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.
• To prevent malfunction, be sure to use an adapter
when loading 8 cm (3 in.) CDs in the player.
• To prevent malfunction, do not use 8 cm (3 in.) CD
adapters with 8 cm (3 in.) DVDs.
HOW TO HOLD DISCS
When loading or removing discs, try not to touch their
playing surfaces.
CAUTION WHEN USING THE DISC
All rights reserved.
Unauthorized public performance, broadcasting or
copying is a violation of applicable laws.
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.).
• When connecting, push all the way into the jack.
• Do not use cords with a length of over 3 m (10 ft.).
CLEANING
Fingerprints or other dirt on the disc may affect sound
and picture quality.
• If moisture or dust has collected on the plug, wipe it
with a soft cloth before connecting.
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.
15 cm (6 in.)
dia. or more
Do not wipe in a circular
direction (Concentric
scratches in the disc groove
tend to cause noise.)
Gently wipe from the
inside toward the outer
edge.
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.
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,
however their use is not recommended because some
may cause damage to the lens.

DO NOT BLOCK VENTS
For Proper and Long Use of
This Unit
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.
DISC RACK CAUTION
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.
CDFILE
301–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.
• While changing or inserting discs, be careful not to
press any buttons on the main unit or the remote
control. The rack may move suddenly, and then your
fingers may be caught between discs in the rack.
• When changing or inserting discs, make sure that the
rack is stopped. Do not attempt to load a disc into the
player when the rack is moving.
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.
• Never insert your hand or any object into the interior.
This can cause a malfunction.
• Never insert more than one disc at a time into one
slot. This can scratch or damage the discs.
Condensation may also form during the summer if the
player is exposed to the breeze from an air conditioner.
In such cases, change the location of the player.
• Do not apply force to the rack. This can cause a
malfunction.
DO NOT MOVE THE UNIT WHEN DISCS ARE
LOADED IN THE RACK
Moving the player when discs are loaded may damage
the discs and may cause the player to malfunction.
SWITCH POWER TO STANDBY WHEN NOT
USING THE UNIT
WHEN MOVING 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.
When changing places of installation or packing the unit
for moving, be sure to remove all of the discs from the
rack and close the player’s hood. 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 rack loaded may result in damage to
this unit.
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.
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.

Digital output (Optical)
Terms
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.
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.
CD TEXT
DNR (Digital Noise Reduction)
CD TEXT is a system in which text information is stored
on a CD. CD TEXT can be used to display the disc’s title,
the artist's name, and track titles as well as other
information. Additionally, this player uses the CD TEXT
already on the CD when the discs are updated in the
player.
Digital noise reduction, in reference to video picture
quality, refers to the detection and removal of digital
artifacts, or errant video data, which appear as specks on
the screen. When the digital noise reduction function of
this player is on, some of this data can be detected and
kept from appearing on the screen.
Chapter number
Dolby Digital
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.
Using a maximum of 5.1 channels of audio, this high
quality surround system (Surround Digital) is used in
many of the finer movie theaters around the world.
1
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.
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.
DTS
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.
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.
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 surround sound
of DTS audio. DTS audio is not output from the analog
audio outputs.
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.
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.
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.
Function Memory
Function Memory lets you make a shortcut list of up to
five regularly used settings from the Setup screen page.
By selecting a function from the Function Memory
window, the appropriate Setup screen menu and
function are automatically opened.

MASTER-SLAVE CONTROL
Regional restriction codes (region number)
MASTER-SLAVE control refers to two identical units
connected together for joint control. The first player
(Master) receives remote control signals for both units
and controls the disc selection, audio and video output,
and information displays of the second player (Slave).
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.
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.
Multi-angle
In a TV or movie studio, a single image is usually filmed
by more than one camera at the same time, and one of
those images is selected by the program director and
transmitted to your TV. 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.
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.
Multi-Language 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.
Multiple Language
The Multiple Language feature refers to the actual audio
language that you hear while enjoying DVD playback. Up
to 8 different language tracks can be recorded on a DVD.
The Multiple Language function can be used to select
the audio language of your choice.
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.
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.
TruSurround
TruSurround is a simulated surround system which
produces a surround sound effect from stereo speakers.
PBC (Playback Control)
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.
Virtual Dolby Digital
Virtual Dolby Digital uses Dolby Digital multichannel
audio sources to create a realistic surround sound effect
from stereo speakers.
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.
