Features

525 line digital progressive-scan

Video Adjust

This new type of DNR (Digital Noise

Reduction) for encoding video enables

you to adjust the video settings on a more

detailed and exact level. There are three

possible settings to choose from. These

include: TV (CRT), PDP, and Professional.

This technology can remember which

setting you've chosen and employ it at the

proper time. (see page 49).

component video output

Compared to standard interlaced video,

progressive scan effectively doubles the

amount of video information fed to your TV or

monitor. The result is a stable, flicker-free

image. (Check your TV/monitor for compat-

ibility with this feature.)

For the very highest picture quality, try

watching a movie on DVD-Video on a progres-

sive-scan compatible TV.

Legato PRO (Legato Link

Conversion PRO)

What is Super VCD? (DV-S733A

only)

The Legato PRO digital filter restores some of

the high-frequency information lost in the CD

and DVD recording and mastering process by

upsampling from 44.1kHz to 176.4kHz for CD

and from 48kHz to 192kHz for DVD.

Logos:

This player supports the IEC’s Super VCD

standard. Compared to the Video CD

standard, Super VCD offers superior

picture quality, and allows two stereo

soundtracks to be recorded. Super VCD

also supports the widescreen size.

Legato PRO has four settings, including

Standard and three effect settings. You can

also switch it off. (see page 45).

Hi-Bit

Hi-Bit extends the dynamic range of the main

front speakers by effectively increasing the bit

depth from 16-20 bit to 24 bit. This allows

the player to reveal greater detail in low level

audio (see page 45).

Superlative audio performance with

DVD-Audio, Dolby*¹Digital and

DTS^*2software

Logos: 1

The DV-47A/DV-S733A delivers breathtaking

sound quality with Dolby Digital and DTS

discs.

High quality 24-bit/192kHz DAC

The high specification 24-bit/192kHz DAC

delivers dynamic, smooth and expansive

analog sound from CDs and DVDs.

TruSurround^*3

Logo:

Graphical Setup Navigator

Setting up your DVD player is easy using the

graphical Setup Navigator. Answer the

questions that appear on-screen and the

Setup Navigator makes the necessary audio,

video and language settings for you (see page

17 ).

When used with stereo sources, TruSurround

creates a realistic surround-sound effect using

just two speakers (see page 42).

MP3 compatibility

This player is compatible with CD-R, CD-RW

and CD-ROM discs that contain MP3 audio

tracks (see pages 9, 35).

DVD Video regions

Caution!

•

DVD-R/RW and CD-R/RW discs recorded using

a personal computer or a DVD or CD recorder

may not play if the disc is damaged or dirty, or if

there is dirt or condensation on the player’s

lens.

•

If you record a disc using a personal computer,

even if it is recorded in a compatible format,

there are cases in which it may not play because

of the settings of the application software used

to create the disc. (Check with the software

publisher for more detailed information.)

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 in this player. Discs

marked ALL will play in any player.

•

Unfinalized DVD-R/RW discs cannot be played.

Unfinalized CD-R/RW discs can be played, but

not all time information (playing time, etc.) will

be displayed.

MP3 compatibility information

•

For more information on using DVD-R/RW and

CD-R/RW discs, see Handling discs starting on

page 58.

•

The CD-ROM must be ISO 9660 compatible.

•

Files should be MPEG1 Audio Layer 3 format,

44.1 or 48kHz. Incompatible files will not play

and “UNPLAYABLE MP3 FORMAT” will be

displayed.

•

VBR files may not show play times correctly.

This player only plays tracks that are named with

the file extension “.mp3” or “.MP3”.

•

This player is not compatible with multi-session

discs. If you try and play a multi-session disc,

only the first session will be played.

Use CD-R or CD-RW media for recording your

MP3 files. The disc must be finalized in order to

play.

Audio encoded at 128Kbps should sound close

to regular audio CD quality. Although this player

will play lower bit-rate MP3 tracks, the sound

quality becomes noticeably worse at lower bit-

rates.

•

Only the first 8 characters of folder and track

names (excluding the “.mp3” extension) are

displayed.

This player can recognize a maximum of 250

folders and 250 tracks. Discs containing more

than 250 folders or tracks will play, but only the

first 250 folders/tracks.

About MOD. (Modulation) PAL

Setting the TV System

•

SHRINK

(except for 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 region’s 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 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.

Bookmarking a place in a disc

(LAST MEMORY)

If you watch only part of a DVD Video disc with the inten-

mark the place then resume playback at a later date

without having to manually search for the right place.

You can use this feature for up to five discs (after that the

oldest bookmark is deleted to make space for a new one).

Bookmarking also works with Super VCDs/Video CDs, but

You only need to make this setting if you connected this

player to your amplifier using the 5.1 channel analog

outputs. This setting does not affect digital audio

output.

Follow the on-screen displays to describe which

speakers are in your system and their sizes and

positions.

Set the size of your speakers in the Size screen. The

front left/right (L/R) speakers have a fixed setting

of Large. The center (C), left surround (LS) and

right surround (RS) speakers can each be set to

Large, Small or Off. Set a speaker to Large if the

main speaker cone is 12cm or more; set to Small if

the it’s less than 12cm. Note that the LS and RS

speakers cannot be set independently.

The graphic on the right of the screen represents

your speaker setup, with the currently selected

speaker’s name highlighted in blue, and the speakers

set to On highlighted in yellow.

The subwoofer (SW) can only be set to On or Off.

Note

• If your subwoofer is placed beyond the

adjustment range (L/R±2m), set to the

nearest setting possible. Surround sound

cohesion should not be affected very much.

Gain Settings

• Default setting: Fix

You may want to make this setting if you connected this

player to your amplifier using the 5.1 channel analog

outputs.

Under the default setting, all channels are output at

the relative volumes they were recorded at. Change

the setting to Variable if you want to adjust the

relative volume levels of any of the speakers.

Adjustment is in the range of -6dB to +6dB, in steps

of 0.5dB.

Follow the on-screen displays to select speakers and

set the channel levels.

•

You can adjust the Test Tone setting only when

the player is stopped.

•

Many AV amplifiers allow you to make similar

settings at the amplifier stage. In this case, set

the channel levels at the player or the amplifier,

not both.

•

When set to Variable, the overall output level

may sound quieter than when set to Fix. This is

not a malfunction.

•

As the test tone plays through a speaker, its name

is highlighted in yellow on-screen.

Handling discs

Discs to avoid

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.

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.

Damaged or dirty discs can affect playback perfor-

mance. 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.

This unit is designed for use with conventional,

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.

Should a disc become marked with fingerprints,

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.

Cleaning the pickup lens

Don’t wipe the disc surface

using circular strokes.

Wipe lightly from the

center of the disc using

straight strokes.

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.

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.

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 perfor-

mance. For this reason you should leave it to

adjust to the warmer temperature for about an

hour before switching on and using.

Storing 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

environments (including under direct sunlight).

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.

For more detailed care information see the instruc-

tions that come with discs.

Do not load more than one disc into the player.

Hints on installation

Moving the player

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...

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.

ꢀ Use in a well-ventilated room.

ꢀ Place on a solid, flat, level surface, such as a

table, shelf or stereo rack.

Don’t...

Power cord caution

ꢀ Use in a place exposed to high temperatures 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.

ꢀ 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.

ꢀ 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.

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.

ꢀ Place on an unstable surface, or one that is not

large enough to support all four of the unit’s feet.

DTS

Glossary

Analog audio

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.

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.

Aspect ratio

Dynamic range

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).

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.

Bonus Group (DVD-Audio only)

An ‘extra’ group on some DVD-Audio discs that

requires a key number to access. See also

Group.

File extension

A tag added to the end of a filename to indicate

the type of file. For example, “.mp3” indicates an

MP3 file.

Browsable pictures (DVD-Audio only)

A feature of some DVD-Audio discs in which the

user can browse still pictures recorded on the

disc as the audio is played. See also Slideshow.

Group (DVD-Audio only)

A collection of tracks on a DVD-Audio disc.

Equivalent to a DVD-Video title. See also Title

and Track.

Chapter (DVD-Video, DVD-RW)

Just as a book is split up into several chapters, a

title on a DVD disc is usually divided into

chapters. See also Title.

Interlaced video

A method of displaying a picture in which odd-

numbered lines are updated in one pass, then

even-numbered lines updated in the next. See

also Progressive scan video.

Digital audio

An indirect representation of sound by num-

bers. 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.

MP3

MP3 (MPEG1 audio layer 3) is a compressed

audio file format. Files are recognized by their

file extension “.mp3” or “.MP3”.

MPEG audio

An audio format used on Super VCDs/Video

CDs and some DVD discs. This unit can convert

MPEG audio to PCM format for wider compat-

ibility with digital recorders and AV amplifiers.
