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  
is remarkable, allowing it to offer numerous functions  
and features available with no other format.  
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.  
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 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 DVDs 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 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 54  
if you are having trouble understanding some of the  
terminology associated with DVD.  
DVD  
Make the necessary connections.  
No entertainment system seems to be set up exactly  
the same way. The “Making Connections” section  
starting on page 15 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, 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 19  
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, both Video CDs and  
CDs are considered to be a single title, regardless of the  
number of tracks.  
Track 1  
Track 2

When all the connections and setups have been made,

Player” starting on page 24 outlines the basic player  
operations.

Once you are comfortable using the basic player  
functions, you are ready to take advantage of the various  
options DVD and this player have to offer. The section  
“Advanced Functions” starting on page 33 describes  
how to use the features available on many DVDs.

Connection Guide  
Making  
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.  
Connections  
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  
in the Setup screen Video menu corresponding to  
whether you are using a wide screen or standard size TV  
or monitor (page 22).  
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 off by pressing  
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 play back the contents of a disc with a VCR, the playback  
picture may not be normal.

TV SYSTEM switch (except for DV-525 Taiwan  
model)  
Video output changes as follows according to the  
playback disc‘s recorded format.  
System Control Connections  
Using a commercially available cord with a mini plug  
(3.5 mm dia. with no resistance) to connect this player’s  
CONTROL IN jack to the CONTROL OUT jack of another  
PIONEER component bearing the Î mark, you can  
control the player as though it were a component in a  
system (system control).  
NTSC = PAL, PAL = NTSC conversion is possible on  
Video CDs. PAL = NTSC conversion is not possible on  
DVDs. When the TV SYSTEM switch is set to the AUTO  
position, the disc’s format will be output as is. When a  
CD or disc is not loaded, the previous video output  
format will be selected.  
• If you connect for system control, you cannot operate  
the player directly. Point the remote control unit at the  
component (AV amplifier, etc.) connected to the  
CONTROL OUT jack to operate.  
• When controlling as a system, be sure to make a  
connection to the amplifier using an audio or video  
cord, even when using only digital components.

• SHRINK  
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.

Notes  
Setting the Digital Audio  
• If you have made digital audio connections to component(s)  
not equipped to decode the DTS digital bitstream, be sure to  
select “Off”. If a DTS signal is output without decoding, the  
output is digital noise that could potentially cause damage to  
your speakers.  
Output To Be Compatible with  
Your AV Component  
– DVD  
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  
menu to reflect the capabilities of the components that  
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  
is. As some components are incapable of processing  
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.  
Note  
If you have made only stereo line connections (analog) using the  
supplied audio cord, it is not necessary to make any changes in  
this menu.

To navigate a menu screen  
When a menu screen is displayed  
• Although individual DVD titles may differ, when a  
menu screen is displayed, use the cursor buttons (2/  
3/5/) and ENTER on the remote control. The cursor  
buttons are used to move around the options on the  
screen and ENTER is used for selection.  
• Occasionally, the number buttons may also be used to  
make selections. If this is possible, using number  
buttons serves to directly select an option on a menu  
screen. Only number buttons are used to make  
selections on Video CD menu screens.  
Menu screens are displayed for DVDs that have menu  
screens or Video CDs that include Playback Control  
(PBC). DVDs often contain extra information that can be  
accessed in the DVD menu and sometimes makes  
navigating DVD menu screens as enjoyable as watching  
the feature presentation.

code number). Use the following steps at any time you  
are asked to enter or confirm your password.  
This player lets you set the Parental Lock if the DVD has

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.

buttons to select a number between 0 and 9.  
Make changes to the [Parental Lock] setting in the Setup  
screen General menu. Please note that changes to the  
Parental Lock level can only be made when the player is  
stopped.  
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

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 wipe in a circular  
direction (Concentric  
scratches in the disc groove  
tend to cause noise.)  
Gently wipe from the  
inside toward the outer  
edge.  
CAUTION WHEN USING THE DISC  
All rights reserved.  
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.  
• 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 disc and return the  
disc table to its original position in the player. Turn off the  
player and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet in  
a manner appropriate for your player model as follows.  
With the DV-525K, press STANDBY/ON to switch  
the power to standby. Check that the “–OFF–”  
indication in the display goes off, then disconnect the  
power cord.  
With the DV-525, press STANDBY/ON on the remote  
control to switch the power to standby checking that  
the “–OFF–” indication in the display goes off. Press  
POWER on the front panel to turn the player off, and  
then disconnect the power cord.  
SWITCH POWER TO STANDBY WHEN 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.  
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.  
• 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.  
AVOID INSTALLING IN A PLACE THAT IS:  
• Exposed to direct sunlight  
POWER-CORD CAUTION  
• 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)  
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 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.  
AVOID HEAT  
Do NOT place the unit on equipment which generates  
heat, such as an amplifier.  
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.  
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.

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.  
1
In order to enjoy Dolby Digital discs, this unit’s digital  
output jack (either coaxial or optical) must be connected  
to the digital input jack of an AV amplifier or Dolby Digital  
decoder to enjoy the sound of Dolby Digital soundtracks.  
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.  
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. 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.  
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.  
Condition memory  
Dynamic range  
“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.  
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.  
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.  
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  
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 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.  
Digital output (Optical)  
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.

Parental lock level  
Subtitle  
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.  
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.  
S-video  
PCM  
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.  
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.  
Playback Control (PBC)  
This refers to signals recorded on a Video CD (Version  
2.0) enabling playback control.  
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.  
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.  
Time number  
Regional restriction codes (region number)  
The time number corresponds to the elapsed playback  
time of a disc from its beginning. When using the time  
search function, use the time number to locate scenes  
that occur at the time selected.  
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.  
Title number  
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.  
TOC  
TOC (Table Of Contents) information is data other than  
audio signal data, recorded at the beginning of a disc. As  
the name implies, it’s like the list of contents in a book,  
with information such as the number of songs and  
playback time.  
Sampling Frequency  
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.
