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. 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. Menu screens do not

belong to any title.

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 fam iliar w ith 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 “Nam es 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.

DVD

No entertainment system seems to be set up exactly

the same way. The “Making Connections” section

starting on page 14 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.

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

function that automatically sets up the player

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 pages 15 to 16 . To

determine the best audio and video connection setup for

your system, refer to the manuals supplied with the

General menu to set whether you are using a wide

screen or standard size TV or monitor (page 18).

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

Setup screen Video menu (page 28).

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

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

are asked to enter or confirm your password.

Functions

Use the cursor buttons (5/ ∞) or the

num ber buttons to select a num ber

betw een 0 and 9.

This player is compatible with DVD, Video CD, and CD

disc formats. Users already familiar with Video CD or CD

will already be familiar with some of the functions the

player is capable of performing. With DVD, an even

greater number of possibilities and functions are

available.

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.

Note

DVDs differ in content and do not all contain the same

information. Therefore some functions in this section may

not work or have no effect on some DVDs.

After using discs, store them upright

Additional

Information

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.

Disc Care

CAUTION WHEN USING THE DISC

How to hold discs

When loading or removing

discs, try not to touch their

playing surfaces.

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 terminal.

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.

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.

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.

Never play cracked or w arped 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 w ith 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.

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 m ove 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 m oving the unit

When changing places of installation or packing the unit

for moving, be sure to remove the disc 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.

Sw itch POWER to STANDBY w hen 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.

Pow er-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.

CAUTION: WHEN PLACING THE UNIT IN A

STEREO RACK WITH GLASS DOORS

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 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).

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.

Com ponent (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 m em ory

“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)
