Using other types of video  
output

S-Video and component video outputs. The  
main difference between them is the quality  
of the picture. S-Video delivers a better  
picture than standard composite video, while  
component video gives better picture quality  
still. The variety of outputs also gives you the  
flexibility of connecting your particular  
equipment using the best connection type  
available.

instead of the VIDEO OUT jack to connect  
this player to your TV (or other equipment).

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.

What should I plug it into?  
If you dont 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.  
The diagram shows standard video connec-  
tions, but you can alternatively use the S-

theyre available.  
If you want stereo sound, connect this

Connect the AV receivers video  
output to a video input on your TV.  
• I connected the DVD player to my AV  
receiver, and although the sound is fine,  
there’s no picture. What did I do wrong?  
You usually have to connect the same  
kind of video cable between your DVD  
player and AV receiver, and between  
your AV receiver and TV.  
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  
wont convert from one kind of connec-  
tion to another.

Using the on-screen displays  
For ease of use, this player makes extensive  
use of graphical on-screen displays (OSDs).  
You should get used to the way these work as  
you’ll need to use them when setting up the  
player, using some of the playback features,  
such as program play, and when making  
more advanced settings for audio and video.  
• The button guide at the bottom of every  
OSD screen shows you which buttons  
you’ll need to use for that screen.  
Setting up with the Setup  
Navigator  
All the screens are navigated in basically the  
same way, using the cursor buttons to  
change the highlighted item and pressing  
ENTER to select it.  
Using the Setup Navigator you can make a  
number of other initial settings for this  
player. We recommend using the Setup  
Navigator, especially if you connected this  
player to an AV receiver for playing surround  
sound. To answer some of the questions  
about digital audio formats you may need to  
look at the instructions that came with your  
AV receiver.  
• Throughout this manual, ‘Select’ means  
use the cursor buttons to highlight an  
item on-screen, then press ENTER.

• Why won’t the disc I loaded play?  
3
Load a disc.  
Load a disc with the label side facing up,  
using the disc tray guide to align the disc (if  
you’re loading a double-sided DVD disc, load  
it with the side you want to play face down).  
First check that you loaded the disc the  
right way up (label side up), and that it’s  
clean and not damaged. See page 50  
for information on cleaning discs.  
If a disc loaded correctly won’t play, it’s  
probably an incompatible format or disc  
type, such as DVD-Audio or DVD-ROM.  
See page 8 for more on disc compatibil-  
ity.  
• I have a widescreen TV so why are there  
black bars at the top and bottom of the  
screen when I play some discs?  
Some movie formats are such that even  
when played on a widescreen TV, black  
bars are necessary at the top and  
bottom of the screen. This is not a  
malfunction.  
4
Press 3 (play) to start playback.  
If you’re playing a DVD or Video CD/Super  
VCD, a menu may appear. See pages 25, 26  
for how to navigate these.  
• I have a standard (4:3) TV and set the  
player to show widescreen DVDs in pan &  
scan format, so why do I still get black  
bars top and bottom with some discs?  
If you’re playing an MP3 disc, it may take a  
few seconds before playback starts, depend-  
ing on the complexity of the file structure on  
the disc.  
Some discs override the display  
preferences of the player, so even if you  
have 4:3 (Pan & Scan) selected, those  
discs will still be shown in letterbox  
format. This is not a malfunction.  
If you loaded a CD/CD-R/RW containing  
JPEGs, a slideshow will start. See page 48  
for more on playing these discs.  
• My AV receiver is definitely compatible  
with 96kHz Linear PCM audio, but it  
doesn’t seem to work with this player.  
What’s wrong?  
• After I load a DVD disc, it ejects automati-  
cally after a few seconds!  
For digital copy-protection purposes,  
some 96kHz DVD discs are  
automatically downsampled to 48kHz.  
This is not a malfunction. With these  
kinds of discs, if you want to enjoy high-  
quality analog audio, set Digital Out to  
Off (page 39), and 96kHz PCM Out to  
96kHz (page 40).  
Most likely, the disc is the wrong region  
for your player. The region number  
should be printed on the disc; check it  
against the region number of the player  
(which you can find on the rear panel).  
See also page 9.  
If the region number is OK, it may be  
that the disc is damaged or dirty. Clean  
the disc and look for signs of damage.

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 39.  
• 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

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 52.

alphabetical order.  
• The 8, ANGLE and ZOOM buttons  
do not work while the display shows

• The time it takes for the player to load a  
file increases with large file sizes.  
Pictures are automatically adjusted so that  
they fill as much of the screen as possible (if  
the aspect ratio of the picture is different to  
your TV screen you may notice black bars at  
the sides, or at the top and bottom of the  
screen).  
• Folders and folder names are not visible.

Additional Information  
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.  
Cleaning the unit’s exterior  
• Use a polishing cloth or dry cloth to wipe  
off dust and dirt. If the surfaces are very dirty,  
wipe with a soft cloth dipped in some neutral  
cleanser diluted five or six times with water  
and wrung out well, then wipe again with a  
dry cloth.

Additional Information

• Do not use furniture wax or cleaners.  
Never use thinners, benzine or insecticide  
sprays or other chemicals on or near this  
unit since they will corrode the surfaces.  
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.  
• If you use a chemical-impregnated  
cleaning cloth, read the instructions  
carefully before use. These cloths may leave  
smear marks on half-mirror finish surfaces; if  
this happens, finish with a dry cloth.  
Place directly on top of an amplifier, or  
other component in your stereo system  
that becomes hot in use.  
Use near a television or monitor as you  
may experience interference—especially  
if the television uses an indoor antenna.  
• Unplug the unit when cleaning.  
Cleaning the pickup lens  
Use in a kitchen or other room where  
the player may be exposed to smoke or  
steam.  
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 on a thick rug or carpet, or cover  
with cloth—this may prevent proper  
cooling of the unit.  
Place on an unstable surface, or one  
that is not large enough to support all  
four of the unit’s feet.  
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.  
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.  
Power cord caution  
Hints on installation  
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.  
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:  
Do...  
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.

Additional Information  
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 41) 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.

Switch the player into standby.  
Standard TV users  
If you have a standard TV, the TV Screen  
setting (page 41) 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.

DVD discs are generally divided into one or  
more titles. Titles may be further subdivided  
into chapters.  
All DVD-Video discs carry a region mark on  
the case somewhere that indicates which  
region(s) of the world the disc is compatible  
with. Your DVD player also has a region  
mark, which you can find on the rear panel.  
Discs from incompatible regions will not play

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

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.

DTS  
MPEG video  
The video format used for Video CD/Super  
VCD and DVDs. Video CD/Super VCD uses  
the older MPEG-1 standard, while DVD uses  
the newer and much better quality MPEG-2  
standard.  
DTS stands for Digital Theater Systems. DTS  
is a surround system different from Dolby  
Digital that has become a popular surround  
sound format for movies.  
PCM (Pulse Code Modulation)  
Dynamic range  
The most common system of encoding  
digital audio, found on CDs and DAT.  
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.  
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.  
EXIF (Exchangeable Image File)  
A file format developed by Fuji Photo Film for  
digital still cameras. Digital cameras from  
various manuafcturers use this compressed  
file format which carries date, time and  
thumbnail information, as well as the picture  
data.  
PBC (PlayBack Control) (Video CD/Super  
VCD only)  
A system of navigating a Video CD/Super  
VCD through on-screen menus recorded  
onto the disc. Especially good for discs that  
you would normally not watch from begin-  
ning to end all at oncekaraoke discs, for  
example.  
File extension  
A tag added to the end of a filename to  
indicate the type of file. For example, .mp3”  
indicates an MP3 file.  
Regions (DVD-Video only)  
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).  
JPEG  
A file format used for still images, such as  
photographs and illustrations. JPEG files are  
identified by the file extension .jpgor  
.JPG. Most digital cameras use this format.  
MP3  
MP3 (MPEG1 audio layer 3) is a compressed  
audio file format. Files are recognized by  
their file extension .mp3or .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 CD/Super  
VCD 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.

Watching NTSC on a PAL TV (MOD.  
PAL)  
Setting the TV system  
(Except Taiwanese model)  
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.  
The default setting of this player is AUTO,  
and unless you notice that the picture is  
distorted when playing some discs, you  
should leave it set to AUTO. If you experience  
picture distortion with some discs, set the TV  
system to match your country or regions  
system. Doing this, however, may restrict the  
kinds of disc you can watch. The table below  
shows what kinds of disc are compatible  
with each setting (AUTO, PAL and NTSC).  
If your PAL TV does not have a V-Hold  
control, you may not be able to watch NTSC  
discs because of picture 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 malfunc-  
tion; it is caused by the NTSC to PAL  
conversion.  
1
If the player is on, press STANDBY/  
ON to switch it to standby.  
2
Using the front panel controls, hold  
down ¡ ¢ then press STANDBY/ON  
to switch the TV system.  
The TV system changes as follows:  
AUTO = NTSC  
NTSC = PAL  
PAL = AUTO  
The players display shows Welcome  
Pioneer, then indicates the new setting.  
You have to switch the player into  
standby (press STANDBY/ON) before  
each change.
