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.

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

62 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 necessary player

m enus.

Super VCD/ Video CD/ CD

Super VCDs, Video CDs and CDs are divided into units

referred to as tracks (Super VCD 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.

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 22

explains how to use the Setup screen menus as well as

how to make the necessary initial adjustments. The

Setup screen menus are used in a number of functions.

Learning the procedure for operating the menus will

make using this player much easier and more enjoyable.

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.

When all the connections and setups have been made,

player operations.

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 23).

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

Setup screen Video menu (page 34).

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 playback the contents of a disc with a VCR, the playback

picture may not be normal.

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 Jacks] screen of the Setup Navigator

(page 24). You can also manually set the output in the

[Audio Out] setting of the Setup screen Audio 2 menu

(page 31).

By utilizing the player’s internal multichannel audio

decoder, the audio of Dolby Digital 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 front left

(L) audio channels output from the AUDIO OUT (2 CH) analog

jacks (page 31).

• 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.

•

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.

•

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.

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) analog jacks on the player to the

audio input on the stereo amplifier or receiver.

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.

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

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

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.

Setting the Parental Lock

Level

This player lets you set the Parental Lock if the DVD has

a parental lock level recorded on it. With Parental Lock

capable discs, you can block access to material you feel

is inappropriate for your children. Refer to the DVD disc

jacket and the accompanying documentation to see if a

particular disc contains a parental lock level.

When you select either “Level Change” or “Password

Change”, it is necessary to enter the password (4-digit

code number). Use the following steps at any time you

are asked to enter or confirm your password.

Use the cursor buttons (5/∞) or the number

buttons on the remote control to select a

number between 0 and 9.

You can also use the number buttons to enter the

numbers directly. When entering your password for

the first time, or changing it, you will be asked to

reenter your password. When using the number

buttons to confirm the password, the numbers

appear as asterisks, and the cursor advances

automatically to the next position.

Make changes to the [Parental Lock] setting in the Setup

screen General menu. Please note that changes to the

Parental Lock level cannot be made when a disc is

playing. Stop playback of the disc before attempting to

make any changes.

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

HOW TO HOLD DISCS

When loading or removing discs, try not to touch their

playing surfaces.

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.

CLEANING

Fingerprints or other dirt on the disc may affect sound

and picture quality.

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.

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

car, which may become excessively hot.

Do not w ipe in a circular

direction (Concentric

scratches in the disc groove

tend to cause noise.)

Gently w ipe from the

inside tow ard the outer

edge.

CAUTION WHEN USING THE DISC

Unauthorized public performance, broadcasting or

copying is a violation of applicable laws.

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.

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 terminal.

Do not use cords with a length of over 3 m.

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.

•

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

with a soft cloth before connecting.

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.

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.

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.

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,

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.

Dolby Digital

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.

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.

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, 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.

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.

Com ponent (color difference) video output

The color signal of the TV is divided into the luminance

(Y) signal and the color (P_Band P_R) 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.

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

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.

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.

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

movies or 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.

Multi-angle

Digital output (Optical)

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.

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.

Multiple Languages

Sam pling Frequency

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.

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 Subtitles

S-video

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.

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 player’s 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 Video CD (Version

2.0) or Super VCD 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.
