How to Proceed in This  
Manual  
DVD is an incredible format that presents the highest  
quality digital audio and video available today.  
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  
All discs are divided up into smaller, more manageable  
sections so that you can find specific content more  
easily.  
DVD discs are divided into one or more titles. Each title  
may be further divided into several chapters.  
Get familiar with the player.  
Occassionally, a chapter may contain index points,  
effectively dividing the chapter up into several parts, too.  
Refer to the section Before Usingon 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 Functionssection  
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.

the player corresponding to the answers given in a  
multiple-choice on-screen procedure. The Setup screen

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.  
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

Connections  
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 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.

About MOD. (Modulation) PAL  
SHRINK  
Setting Up the  
Player  
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.  
Setting the TV System (except  
for DV-533K Taiwanese model  
and DV-440)  
Using the Setup Navigator  
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.  
The Setup Navigator has been designed to simplify the  
process of getting the DVD player ready to perform.  
Designed as a series of on-screen multiple-choice questions,  
the Setup Navigator automatically sets the audio, video, and  
language settings according to how the questions are  
answered. Once this procedure is complete, it will be  
possible to begin using the DVD player to enjoy DVDs.  
The procedure on this page describes the operations  
necessary to function within the Setup Navigator screens. A  
detailed description of the contents of each question that  
appears on the screen can be found on the following pages.  
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).

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 Super VCD/Video CD menu screens.  
DisplayedDVD/Super VCD/VideoCD  
Menu screens are displayed for DVDs that have menu  
screens or Super VCDs/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.  
When the Super VCD/Video CD has more than one  
menu, pages can be advanced to or returned to with  
PREV 4 or NEXT ¢.

When setting up the system, or when making  
adjustments, it is convenient to know what settings are  
applicable to the different disc formats. When the  
settings appear for each menu option, the currently  
selected setting appears with the setting indicator  
highlighted in one of three colors: blue, green or yellow.  
These colors correspond to what formats the menu  
option effects as shown in the table below.

Notes  
If a setting applicable only to DVDs is changed while a  
Super VCD/Video CD or CD is loaded, a blue DVD icon  
appears in the upper right hand corner of the screen to  
indicate that the setting is not applicable to the currently  
loaded disc. The setting will be effective the next time a  
DVD is loaded.  
The blue indicator is shown for the [TV Screen], but the

select [Off]. If a DTS signal is output without decoding, the  
output is digital noise that could potentially cause damage to  
your speakers.

This player is capable of outputting digital signals with a

to continue viewing a disc from the point where you  
were watching before. Unlike the resume function, the  
Last Memory function is effective even if the DVD is  
removed from the player (Last Memory locations saved  
for Super VCDs/Video CDs are effective only if the disc  
remains loaded in the player).  
Some DVDs will start playback automatically when  
loaded. In this case, press STOP 7 to stop  
playback.  
2 Press LAST MEMORY while in the stop  
mode.  
Last Memory may not work reliably with some Video  
CDs that feature PBC.  
The disc begins playback at the memorized point.  
Last Memory mode may not function for some  
DVDs.  
LAST  
MEMORY  
You can use Last Memory for up to five discs  
(after that the one used least recently is deleted  
to make space for a new one).  
Even with a disc you have memorized with Last  
Memory, playback begins at the start of the disc  
if you press PLAY 3.

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.  
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.  
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.  
Never use discs with special shapes  
CDs 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.  
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.

Avoid heat  
Cleaning the player  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
Notes on using optical cables  
Do not route cords around sharp  
Condensation  
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.  
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 players performance  
will be impaired.  
15 cm (6 in.) dia. or  
more  
Do not use cords with a length of  
over 3 m (9.9 feet).  
If moisture or dust has collected on the plug, wipe it  
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  
with a soft cloth before connecting.  
the breeze from an air  
conditioner. In such  
cases, change the  
location of the player.  
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.  
Power-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.

Dolby Digital  
Terms  
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.  
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.

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

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.  
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.  
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.  
Condition memory  
Conditionrefers 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.  
File extension  
A tag added to the end of a filename to indicate the type of  
file. For example, .mp3indicates an MP3 file.  
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.  
MP3  
MP3 (MPEG1 audio layer 3) is a compressed audio file  
format. Files are recognized by their file extension .mp3or  
.MP3.  
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.  
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.  
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 cameras 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 (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.  
Multi-session  
A CD-R/RW that contains two or more sessions. Each  
session is a complete recording process, so each  
session is read as a complete disc.

Parental lock level  
System control  
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.  
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 players remote control at the  
component that the player is connected to, and not the  
player itself.  
PCM  
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.  
Time 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.  
Playback Control (PBC)  
This refers to signals recorded on a Super VCD/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.  
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.  
Regional restriction codes (region number)  
TruSurround  
TruSurround is a simulated surround system which  
produces a surround sound effect from stereo speakers.  
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.  
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.  
Subtitle  
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  
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.

Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you’ve just  
purchased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now  
it’s time to consider how you can maximize the fun and  
excitement your equipment offers. This manufacturer and  
theElectronicIndustriesAssociation’sConsumerElectronics  
Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by  
playingitatasafelevel. Onethatletsthesoundcomethrough  
loud and clear without annoying blaring or distortion-and,  
most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing.  
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.  
To establish a safe level:  
• Start your volume control at a low setting.  
• Slowlyincreasethesounduntilyoucanhearitcomfortably  
and clearly, and without distortion.

Y (luminance) - Output level................................ 1 Vp-p (75 )  
C (color) - Output level ................................. 286 mVp-p (75 )  
Jacks .................................................................... S-VIDEO jack  
Once you have established a comfortable sound level:  
• Set the dial and leave it there.
