component video gives better picture quality  
still. The variety of outputs also gives you the  
flexibility of connecting your particular

Connecting to an AV  
receiver  
To enjoy multichannel surround sound you  
need to connect this player to an AV receiver  
using a digital output. There are both coaxial  
and optical digital jacks; use whichever is  
convenient.  
For a coaxial connection, use a coaxial cable  
(similar to the supplied video cable) to  
connect the COAXIAL DIGITAL OUT jack to a  
coaxial input on your AV receiver.  
In addition to a digital connection, we  
recommend also connecting using the  
stereo analog connection.

Connecting Up  
• My TV doesn’t have any inputs to  
connect the DVD player. How can I watch  
DVDs?  
Unfortunately, if your TV has no inputs  
you can’t use this player with it.  
• My VCR is already connected to my TV, so  
there aren’t any spare inputs. What  
should I do?  
If all your TV’s inputs are already in use,  
you can buy a video input selector from  
an electronics store, which effectively  
gives you more inputs.  
• My TV only has one input for the sound.  
What should I plug it into?  
If you don’t mind mono sound, you can  
buy a stereo RCA-to-mono RCA cable  
from an electronics store. Connect the  
stereo end to this player and the mono  
end to your TV.  
If you want stereo sound, connect this  
player to your amplifier or stereo system  
using a stereo audio cable.  
• I connected the DVD player to my AV  
receiver, and although the sound is fine,  
there’s no picture. What did I do wrong?  
Make sure that the type of video  
connection from the DVD player to your  
AV receiver is the same as that from the  
receiver to your TV. Most AV receivers  
won’t convert from one kind of connec-  
tion to another.

Audio DRC  
• Default setting: Off  
• Audio DRC is only effective with Dolby  
Digital audio sources.  
When watching Dolby Digital DVDs at low  
volume, it’s easy to lose the quieter sounds  
completely—including some of the dialog.  
Switching Audio DRC (Dynamic Range  
Control) to On can help by bringing up the  
quieter sounds, while controlling loud peaks.  
• Audio DRC is only effective through the  
digital output when Digital Out is set to  
On, and Dolby Digital Out is set to  
Dolby Digital > PCM. See page 41.  
• The effect of Audio DRC depends on  
your speakers and AV receiver settings.  
How much of a difference you hear depends  
on the material you’re listening to. If the  
material doesn’t have wide variations in  
volume, you may not notice much change.

If you have a widescreen TV, select the 16:9  
(Wide) setting—widescreen DVD software is  
then shown using the full screen area. When  
playing software recorded in conventional  
(4:3) format, the settings on your TV will  
determine how the material is presented—  
see the manual that came with your TV for  
details on what options are available.  
If you find that the picture is stretched or  
distorted on the default S2 setting, try  
changing it to S1.  
If you have a conventional TV, select either  
4:3 (Letter Box) or 4:3 (Pan & Scan). In  
Letter Box mode, widescreen software is  
shown with black bars at the top and bottom  
of the screen. Pan & Scan chops the sides off  
widescreen material to make it fit the 4:3  
screen (so even though the image looks  
larger on the screen, you’re actually seeing  
less of the picture). See also page 51.

Storing discs  
Taking care of your player  
and discs  
Although CDs and DVD discs are more  
durable than vinyl records, you should still  
take care to handle and store discs correctly.  
When you're not using a disc, return it to its  
case and store upright. Avoid leaving discs  
in excessively cold, humid, or hot environ-  
ments (including under direct sunlight).  
Handling discs  
When holding discs of any type, take care  
not to leave fingerprints, dirt or scratches on  
the disc surface. Hold the disc by its edge or  
by the center hole and edge.  
Don't glue paper or put stickers onto the  
disc, or use a pencil, ball-point pen or other  
sharp-tipped writing instrument. These could  
all damage the disc.  
Damaged or dirty discs can affect playback  
performance. Take care also not to scratch  
the label side of the disc. Although not as  
fragile as the recorded side, scratches can  
still result in a disc becoming unusable.  
Should a disc become marked with finger-  
prints, dust, etc., clean using a soft, dry  
cloth, wiping the disc lightly from the center  
to the outside edge as shown in the diagram  
below.  
For more detailed care information see the  
instructions that come with discs.  
Do not load more than one disc into the  
player at a time.  
Discs to avoid  
Discs spin at high speed inside the player. If  
you can see that a disc is cracked, chipped,  
warped, or otherwise damaged, don't risk  
using it in your player—you could end up  
damaging the unit.  
Wipe lightly from the center of the  
disc using straight strokes.  
Don’t wipe the disc surface using  
circular strokes.  
If necessary, use a cloth soaked in alcohol,  
or a commercially available CD/DVD  
cleaning kit to clean a disc more thoroughly.  
Never use benzine, thinner or other cleaning  
agents, including products designed for  
cleaning vinyl records.  
This unit is designed for use with conven-  
tional, fully circular discs only. Use of shaped  
discs is not recommended for this product.  
Pioneer disclaims all liability arising in  
connection with the use of shaped discs.

Additional Information  
✗ Place directly on top of an amplifier, or  
other component in your stereo system  
that becomes hot in use.  
Cleaning the pickup lens  
The DVD player’s lens should not become  
dirty in normal use, but if for some reason it  
should malfunction due to dust or dirt,  
consult your nearest Pioneer-authorized  
service center. Although lens cleaners for CD  
players are commercially available, we do  
not recommend using them since some may  
damage the lens.  
✗ Use near a television or monitor as you  
may experience interference—especially  
if the television uses an indoor antenna.  
✗ Use in a kitchen or other room where  
the player may be exposed to smoke or  
steam.  
✗ Use on a thick rug or carpet, or cover  
with cloth—this may prevent proper  
cooling of the unit.  
Problems with condensation  
Condensation may form inside the player if it  
is brought into a warm room from outside, or  
if the temperature of the room rises quickly.  
Although the condensation won’t damage  
the player, it may temporarily impair its  
performance. For this reason you should  
leave it to adjust to the warmer temperature  
for about an hour before switching on and  
using.  
✗ Place on an unstable surface, or one  
that is not large enough to support all  
four of the unit’s feet.  
Moving the player  
If you need to move the player, first press  
STANDBY/ON on the front panel to turn  
the player off. Wait for --OFF-- to disappear  
from the display, then unplug the power  
cord. Never lift or move the unit during  
playback—discs rotate at a high speed and  
may be damaged.  
Hints on installation  
We want you to enjoy using this unit for  
years to come, so please bear in mind the  
following points when choosing a suitable  
location for it:  
Power cord caution  
Do...  
Handle the power cord by the plug part. 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, or other object on  
the power cord or pinch the cord in any other  
way. Never make a knot in the cord or tie it  
with other cords. The power cords should be  
routed so that they are not likely to be  
stepped on. A damaged power cord can  
cause a fire or give you an electric shock.  
Check the power cord once in a while. If you  
find it damaged, ask your nearest Pioneer  
authorized service center or your dealer for a  
replacement.  
ꢀ Use in a well-ventilated room.  
ꢀ Place on a solid, flat, level surface, such  
as a table, shelf or stereo rack.  
Don’t...  
✗ Use in a place exposed to high tempera-  
tures or humidity, including near  
radiators and other heat-generating  
appliances.  
✗ Place on a window sill or other place  
where the player will be exposed to  
direct sunlight.  
✗ Use in an excessively dusty or damp  
environment.

Set to 4:3(Pan&Scan), widescreen discs are  
shown with the left and right sides cropped.  
Although the picture looks larger, you don’t  
actually see the whole picture.  
Screen sizes and disc formats  
DVD-Video discs come in several different  
screen aspect ratios, ranging from TV  
programs, which are generally 4:3, to  
CinemaScope widescreen movies, with an  
aspect ratio of up to about 7:3.  
Televisions, too, come in different aspect  
ratios; ‘standard’ 4:3 and widescreen 16:9.  
Widescreen TV users  
If you have a widescreen TV, the TV Screen  
setting (page 43) of this player should be set  
to 16:9(Wide).  
Please note that many widescreen discs  
override the player’s settings so that the disc  
is shown in letterbox format regardless of the  
setting.  
When you watch discs recorded in 4:3  
format, you can use the TV controls to select  
how the picture is presented. Your TV may  
offer various zoom and stretch options; see  
the instructions that came with your TV for  
details.  
• Using the 16:9 (Wide) setting with a  
standard 4:3 TV, or either of the 4:3  
settings with a widescreen TV, will result  
in a distorted picture.  
Please note that some movie aspect ratios  
are wider than 16:9, so even though you have  
a widescreen TV, these discs will still play in  
a ‘letterbox’ style with black bars at the top  
and bottom of the screen.  
Resetting the player  
Use this procedure to reset all the player’s  
settings to the factory default.  
1
2
Switch the player into standby.  
Standard TV users  
If you have a standard TV, the TV Screen  
setting (page 43) of this player should be set  
to 4:3 (Letter Box) or 4:3 (Pan&Scan),  
depending on which you prefer.  
Using the front panel buttons, hold  
down the 7 (stop) button and press  
STANDBY/ON to switch the player back  
on.  
All the player’s settings are now reset, and  
you should see the ‘Let’s Get Started’ screen.  
Set to 4:3 (Letter Box), widescreen discs are  
shown with black bars top and bottom.

Language’ in the Setup Navigator) allow you  
to set your prefered language from any of the  
136 languages listed in the language code  
list on the previous page.  
An electrical signal that directly represents  
sound. Compare this to digital audio which  
can be an electrical signal, but is an indirect  
representation of sound. See also Digital  
audio.

Aspect ratio  
The width of a TV screen relative to its height.  
Conventional TVs are 4:3 (in other words, the  
screen is almost square); widescreen models  
are 16:9 (the screen is almost twice as wide  
as it is high).

Use the  
/
(cursor up/down)  
buttons to select a code letter or a code  
number.  
See the language code list on the previous  
page for a complete list of langauges and  
codes.  
Digital audio  
An indirect representation of sound by  
numbers. During recording, the sound is  
measured at discrete intervals (44,100 times  
a second for CD audio) by an analog-to-  
digital converter, generating a stream of  
numbers. On playback, a digital-to-analog  
converter generates an analog signal based  
on these numbers. See also Sampling  
frequency and Analog audio.  
Dolby Digital  
1
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.  
The on-screen display shows which channels  
are active, for example showing 3/2.1. The 3  
being the two front channels and the center  
channel; the 2 being the surround channels,  
and the .1 being the LFE channel.

Additional Information  
Excellent quality, but requires a lot of data  
compared to formats such as Dolby Digital  
and MPEG audio. For compatibility with  
digital audio recorders (CD, MD and DAT)  
and AV amplifiers with digital inputs, this  
unit can convert Dolby Digital, DTS and  
MPEG audio to PCM. See also Digital audio.  
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.  
Dynamic range  
PBC (PlayBack Control) (Video CD only)  
A system of navigating a Video CD through  
on-screen menus recorded onto the disc.  
Especially good for discs that you would  
normally not watch from beginning to end all  
at once—karaoke discs, for example.  
The difference between the quietest and  
loudest sounds possible in an audio signal  
(without distorting or getting lost in noise).  
Dolby Digital and DTS soundtracks are  
capable of a very wide dynamic range,  
delivering dramatic cinema-like effects.  
Regions (DVD-Video only)  
File extension  
These associate discs and players with  
particular areas of the world. This unit will  
only play discs that have compatible region  
codes. You can find the region code of your  
unit by looking on the rear panel. Some discs  
are compatible with more than one region  
(or all regions).  
A tag added to the end of a filename to  
indicate the type of file. For example, “.mp3”  
indicates an MP3 file.  
MP3  
MP3 (MPEG1 audio layer 3) is a compressed  
audio file format. Files are recognized by  
their file extension “.mp3” or “.MP3”.  
Sampling frequency  
The rate at which sound is measured to be  
turned into digital audio data. The higher the  
rate, the better the sound quality, but the  
more digital information is generated.  
Standard CD audio has a sampling fre-  
quency of 44.1kHz, which means 44,100  
samples (measurements) per second. See  
also Digital audio.  
MPEG audio  
An audio format used on Video CDs and  
some DVD discs. This unit can convert  
MPEG audio to PCM format for wider  
compatibility with digital recorders and AV  
amplifiers. See also PCM.  
MPEG video  
The video format used for Video CDs and  
DVDs. Video CD uses the older MPEG-1  
standard, while DVD uses the newer and  
much better quality MPEG-2 standard.  
PCM (Pulse Code Modulation)  
The most common system of encoding  
digital audio, found on CDs and DAT.
