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.

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 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 54  
if you are having trouble understanding some of the  
terminology associated with DVD.  
Make the necessary connections.  
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.  
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 17 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 24, 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.

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  
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 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  
• When making connections to this unit or when changing  
connections, check that the unit is off by pressing  
STANDBY/ON 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.

between 0 and 9.  
This player is compatible with DVD, Video CD, and CD  
disc formats. Users already familiar with Video CD or CD

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.

How to hold discs  
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.  
When loading or removing  
discs, try not to touch their  
playing surfaces.  
• Store discs carefully. If you store discs at an angle, or

warped even when in their jackets.  
• Do not leave discs in locations such as the seat of a  
car, which may become excessively hot.  
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.  
CAUTION WHEN USING THE DISC  
All rights reserved.  
Unauthorized public performance, broadcasting or  
copying is a violation of applicable laws.  
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.  
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.

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.  
• 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 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 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  
Using a maximum of 5.1 channels of audio, this high  
quality surround system is used in many of the finer  
movie theaters around the world.
