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. 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 DVD. Menu screens do not  
belong to any title.  
Get familiar with the player.  
DVD player functions generally apply to titles on a DVD  
or chapters within a selected title. The player functions  
available may also vary from title to title, depending on  
the DVD. When DVDs have a unique title division, it  
should be noted that search and program functions may  
be affected.  
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.  
There is also a list of terms that can be found on page 76  
if you are having trouble understanding some of the  
terminology associated with 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.  
DVD  
Set up the player.  
Video CD/CD  
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 corresponding to your system. The  
section “Setting Up the Player” starting on page 20  
explains how to use the Setup Navigator, a function that  
automatically sets up your player. The Setup screen  
menus, described in the section starting on page 39, 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.  
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.  
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.  
Load the disc rack and play discs.  
Track 1  
Track 2  
Track 3  
Track 4  
When all the connections and setups have been made,  
you are ready to play your DVDs, Video CDs, and CDs  
with the player. The section “Getting Started Using Your  
DVD Player” starting on page 23 outlines the basic  
player operations.  
Video CD  
Track 2  
Organize the discs in the disc rack.  
The section “Disc Management” on page 30 helps you  
manage the discs you have loaded in the rack by making  
use of the Sub Setup screen menus. By taking advantage  
of this player’s text input and cross-referencing  
Track 1  
Track 3  
Track 4

capabilities, it is quick and easy to find the disc you want.  
CD  
Enjoy the other features available.  
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 49 describes a  
number of functions available with this player.

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.  
Notes  
• If you have already completed the Setup Navigator screen  
operations, the settings on this page have already been set by  
the player.  
• If you have made only stereo line connections (analog) using

2 Make audio connections from the Slave player  
to the AUDIO IN jacks or DIGITAL IN (coaxial)  
jack on this player corresponding to the type  
of audio connections made from the Master  
player to the TV or AV component.  
When you have two Pioneer DV-F07 players or decide to  
add a second Pioneer DV-F07 player to accommodate a  
growing disc collection, it is possible to make  
Analog audio connections  
Master-Slave connections to use both players as a single  
unit for total control of up to 601 discs.  
• Make connections from the AUDIO OUT jacks on  
the Slave player to the AUDIO IN jacks on the  
Master player.  
• Use the audio cable included with the Slave  
player when making analog audio connections.  
• When making analog audio connections, be sure  
to match the color of the plugs with the color of  
the jacks (red and white).  
• Before making Master-Slave connections, be sure to  
complete audio and video connections for the player  
to be used as the master player (pages 17 and 18).  
• When you are adding a second player, it is  
recommended to use the second player as the Slave  
player.  
• Master-Slave connections can only be made to  
another Pioneer file-type DVD player. Connections  
cannot be made to a Pioneer file-type CD player.  
To an amp, etc.  
Be sure to turn the power off before making any  
connections. For full and complete Master-Slave

the S-VIDEO IN jacks are not output from the  
VIDEO OUT jacks.  
Getting both players set up...  
After connections have been made, it is recommended  
to use the Setup Navigator for simultaneous setup of  
both players. Settings made in the Setup Navigator are  
applied to both players, however, the settings in the  
Setup screen are applied to each player separately.  
When Setup screen settings are changed during  
playback, the setting is applied to the operating player.  
Because some settings cannot be changed during  
playback, stop disc playback before attempting to make  
changes.  
• Component video connection from the Slave  
player is not possible.

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  
DISC CAUTIONS WHEN USING THIS PLAYER  
• When changing or inserting discs, make sure that the  
rack is stopped. Do not attempt to load a disc into the  
player when the rack is moving.  
• Never insert more than one disc at a time into one  
slot. This can scratch or damage the discs.  
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.  
• To prevent malfunction, be sure to use an adapter  
when loading 8 cm (3 in.) CDs in the player.  
• To prevent malfunction, do not use 8 cm (3 in.) CD  
adapters with 8 cm (3 in.) DVDs.  
HOW TO HOLD DISCS  
When loading or removing discs, try not to touch their  
playing surfaces.  
CAUTION WHEN USING THE DISC  
All rights reserved.  
Unauthorized public performance, broadcasting or  
copying is a violation of applicable laws.  
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.).  
• When connecting, push all the way into the jack.  
• Do not use cords with a length of over 3 m (10 ft.).  
CLEANING  
Fingerprints or other dirt on the disc may affect sound  
and picture quality.  
• If moisture or dust has collected on the plug, wipe it  
with a soft cloth before connecting.  
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.  
15 cm (6 in.)  
dia. or more  
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.  
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,  
however their use is not recommended because some  
may cause damage to the lens.

DO NOT BLOCK VENTS  
For Proper and Long Use of  
This Unit  
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.  
DISC RACK CAUTION  
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.  
CONDENSATION  
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.  
• While changing or inserting discs, be careful not to  
press any buttons on the main unit or the remote  
control. The rack may move suddenly, and then your  
fingers may be caught between discs in the rack.  
• When changing or inserting discs, make sure that the  
rack is stopped. Do not attempt to load a disc into the  
player when the rack is moving.  
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.  
• Never insert your hand or any object into the interior.  
This can cause a malfunction.  
• Never insert more than one disc at a time into one  
slot. This can scratch or damage the discs.  
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.  
• Do not apply force to the rack. This can cause a  
malfunction.  
DO NOT MOVE THE UNIT WHEN DISCS ARE  
LOADED IN THE RACK  
Moving the player when discs are loaded may damage  
the discs and may cause the player to malfunction.  
SWITCH POWER TO STANDBY WHEN NOT  
USING THE UNIT  
WHEN MOVING 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.  
When changing places of installation or packing the unit  
for moving, be sure to remove all of the discs from the  
rack and close the player’s hood. 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 rack 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.  
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.  
• Do NOT place objects on top of the unit.  
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)

Digital output (Optical)  
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.  
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.  
CD TEXT  
DNR (Digital Noise Reduction)  
CD TEXT is a system in which text information is stored  
on a CD. CD TEXT can be used to display the disc’s title,  
the artist's name, and track titles as well as other  
information. Additionally, this player uses the CD TEXT  
already on the CD when the discs are updated in the  
player.  
Digital noise reduction, in reference to video picture  
quality, refers to the detection and removal of digital  
artifacts, or errant video data, which appear as specks on  
the screen. When the digital noise reduction function of  
this player is on, some of this data can be detected and  
kept from appearing on the screen.  
Chapter number  
Dolby Digital  
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.  
Using a maximum of 5.1 channels of audio, this high  
quality surround system (Surround Digital) is used in  
many of the finer movie theaters around the world.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
Function Memory  
Function Memory lets you make a shortcut list of up to  
five regularly used settings from the Setup screen page.  
By selecting a function from the Function Memory  
window, the appropriate Setup screen menu and  
function are automatically opened.

MASTER-SLAVE CONTROL  
Regional restriction codes (region number)  
MASTER-SLAVE control refers to two identical units  
connected together for joint control. The first player  
(Master) receives remote control signals for both units  
and controls the disc selection, audio and video output,  
and information displays of the second player (Slave).  
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.  
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  
In a TV or movie studio, a single image is usually filmed  
by more than one camera at the same time, and one of  
those images is selected by the program director and  
transmitted to your TV. 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.  
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.  
Multi-Language 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.  
Multiple Language  
The Multiple Language feature refers to the actual audio  
language that you hear while enjoying DVD playback. Up  
to 8 different language tracks can be recorded on a DVD.  
The Multiple Language function can be used to select  
the audio language of your choice.  
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.  
Parental lock level  
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.  
TruSurround  
TruSurround is a simulated surround system which  
produces a surround sound effect from stereo speakers.  
PBC (Playback Control)  
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.  
Virtual Dolby Digital  
Virtual Dolby Digital uses Dolby Digital multichannel  
audio sources to create a realistic surround sound effect  
from stereo speakers.  
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.
