Differences in Disc  
Composition  
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 disc. Menu screens do not  
belong to any title.  
Get fam iliar w ith the player.  
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.  
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 10 to get familiar with the parts and  
buttons on the main unit and remote control as they will  
be referred to throughout this manual.  
Title 1  
Chapter 1 Chapter 2  
Title 2  
Chapter 1 Chapter 2  
There is also a list of terms that can be found on page 58  
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 16 shows how video and audio  
connections may be made to suit your home  
entertainment system.  
DVD  
Set up the player.  
Super VCD/ Video CD/ CD  
Before you can begin to enjoy the benefits of the DVD  
format, you should 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 19  
explains how to use the Setup Navigator, a function that  
automatically sets up the player 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 the  
menus will make using this player much easier and more  
enjoyable.  
Super VCDs, Video CDs and CDs are divided into units  
referred to as tracks (Super VCDs and 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. Super VCDs/  
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, Super VCDs, Video  
CDs and CDs are considered to be a single title,  
regardless of the number of tracks.  
Track 1  
Track 2  
Track 3  
Track 4  
Play a disc.  
When all the connections and setups have been made,  
you are ready to play a DVD, Super VCD/Video CD, or CD  
with the player. The section “Getting Started Using Your  
DVD Player” starting on page 22 outlines the basic  
player operations.

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 42 describes  
how to use the features available on many DVDs.

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 the following  
pages. 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.  
Connecting Your DVD Player  
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 20).  
Additionally, you can use the [TV Screen] setting in the  
Setup screen Video menu (page 29).  
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 projection  
monitor and full surround sound capabilities.  
Notes  
• When making connections to this unit or when changing  
connections, check that the unit is in standby (off) by pressing  
STANDBY/ ON (POWER), 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.

SHRINK  
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.  
If your PAL TV does not have a V-Hold control, you  
may not be able to view NTSC disc because the  
picture may 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 = PAL  
conversion.

System Control Connections  
Using a commercially available cord with a mini plug (3.5

If you connect for system control, you cannot operate  
the player directly. Point the remote control unit at the

Setting the Digital Audio  
If you have made digital audio connections to component(s) not  
equipped to decode the DTS digital bitstream, be sure to select  
“Off”. If a DTS signal is output to an AV component without  
decoding capabilities, the output is digital noise that could  
potentially cause damage to your speakers.  
Output To Be Compatible with  
Your AV Components  
DVD  
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  
menu to reflect the capabilities of the components that  
you have made digital connections to.  
96 kHz PCM Out  
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.  
Notes  
• If you have already completed the Setup Navigator screen  
operations, the settings on this page have already been set by  
the player.  
• If you have made only stereo line connections (analog) using  
the supplied audio cord, it is not necessary to make any  
changes in this menu.  
• There is no digital output when the player is set to Karaoke

system. Sometimes the DVD player is not able to  
correctly identify the format, so it incorrectly selects the

correct the setting. On an audio multiplexed disc, the left  
channel carries the instrumental and the R channel  
carries the instrumental and the vocals. On a stereo disc,

This may damage the player or cause it to malfunction.  
Disc Care  
HOW TO HOLD DISCS  
When loading or removing discs, try not to touch their  
playing surfaces.  
NEVER USE DISCS WITH 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.

away from heat and humidity.  
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.  
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

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 players performance  
will be impaired.  
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.  
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.  
WHEN MOVING THE UNIT  
WHEN MOVING THE UNIT  
When changing places of installation or packing the unit  
for moving, be sure to remove the discs and return the  
disc table to its original position in the player. Then,  
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.  
press  
on the remote control to switch the power to  
standby. Check that the “--OFF--” indication on the  
display goes off, then press POWER (for models with a  
POWER switch) to switch the power off, and  
disconnect the power cord. Moving this unit with the  
disc 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.  
SWITCH POWER TO STANDBY WHEN NOT  
USING THE UNIT  
When using the unit with a stereo system, install the  
speakers a little bit away from the TV.  
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 (off).  
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.  
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)  
POWER-CORD CAUTION  
DO NOT BLOCK VENTS  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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, as  
well as CDs. 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.  
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.  
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.  
Dynam ic range  
Dynamic range refers to the difference between the  
maximum and minimum levels of the audio soundtrack  
as measured in decibels (dB).  
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.  
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.  
Karaoke m ode  
This mode is used when you desire to enjoy Karaoke.  
There is no digital output when using in the Karaoke  
mode. Set to the Normal mode when desiring to enjoy  
moviesor music.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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 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.  
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, AC-3.  
In order to enjoy Dolby Digital discs, this units digital  
output jack (either coaxial or optical) must be connected  
to the digital input jack of an AV amplifier with Dolby  
Digital decoding capability or to a Dolby Digital decoder.

Multi-Language Subtitles  
Sam pling Frequency  
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.  
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.  
Multiple Languages  
On DVDs, you can select the language on when  
watching movies or other media that have multiple  
language and/or audio soundtracks recorded on them.  
Up to 8 different language and/or audio soundtracks can  
be recorded on a DVD disc.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
Playback Control (PBC)  
This refers to signals recorded on a Super VCD or 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.  
Regional restriction codes (region 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.
