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 such that they
are not likely to be stepped on. A damaged power cord
can cause a fire or give you an electrical shock. Check

damaged, ask your nearest PIONEER authorized
service center or your dealer for a replacement. S002_En
We Want You Listening For A Lifetime
Used wisely, your new sound equipment will
provide a lifetime of fun and enjoyment. Since
hearing damage from loud noise is often
undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer
and the Electronic Industries Association’s
Consumer Electronics Group recommend you avoid
prolonged exposure to excessive noise. This list of
sound levels is included for your protection.
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 the
Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer
Electronics Group want you to get the most out of
your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that
lets the sound come through loud and clear without
annoying blaring or distortion-and, most importantly,
without affecting your sensitive hearing.
Decibel
Level Example
30 Quiet library, soft whispers
40 Living room, refrigerator, bedroom away from traffic
50 Light traffic, normal conversation, quiet office
60 Air conditioner at 20 feet, sewing machine
70 Vacuum cleaner, hair dryer, noisy restaurant
80 Average city traffic, garbage disposals, alarm clock
at two feet.
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.
THE FOLLOWING NOISES CAN BE DANGEROUS
UNDER CONSTANT EXPOSURE
90 Subway, motorcycle, truck traffic, lawn mower
100 Garbage truck, chain saw, pneumatic drill
120 Rock band concert in front of speakers,
thunderclap
To establish a safe level:
• Start your volume control at a low setting.
• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it
comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.
140 Gunshot blast, jet plane
180 Rocket launching pad
Once you have established a comfortable sound
level:
• Set the dial and leave it there.
Information courtesy of the Deafness Research Foundation.
Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent
hearing damage or loss in the future. After all, we
want you listening for a lifetime.

This player can output 1080i/720p/480p from the component video
output. Compared to 480i, 1080i/720p/480p effectively doubles the
scanning rate of the picture, resulting in a very stable, flicker-free
image.
If your TV (or other equipment) has an S-Video input, you can use the
S-Video output on this player instead of the standard (composite)
output for a better quality picture.

OPTICAL) jacks on this player to a digital input on your AV
receiver.
• 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.
To coaxial/optical digital input
Connecting the multichannel analog outputs
If your AV receiver has 5.1 channel analog inputs, we recommend
connecting this player to it using the multichannel analog outputs.

About HDMI
Changing the output resolution
02
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) supports both video
and audio on a single digital connection for use with DVD players,
DTV, set-top boxes, and other AV devices. HDMI was developed to
provide the technologies of High-bandwidth Digital Content
Protection (HDCP) as well as Digital Visual Interface (DVI) in one
specification. HDCP is used to protect digital content transmitted
and received by DVI-compliant displays.
Use the OUTPUT RESOLUTION button located on the remote
control to switch the output resolution for the HDMI and component
video outputs.
Depending on the type of disc or file being played, the signals may
not be output with the resolution set at Resolution (Max) (page 33).
For details, see the table below.
HDMI has the capability to support standard, enhanced, or high-
definition video plus standard to multi-channel surround-sound
audio. HDMI features include uncompressed digital video, a
bandwidth of up to five gigabytes per second (with HDTV signals),
one connector (instead of several cables and connectors), and
communication between the AV source and AV devices such as
DTVs.
About HDMI Control
You can enable HDMI Control by turning the HDMI Control setting
to On for all components connected via HDMI cable. Check the
video output from this unit once you have completed making
connections and settings for all components. You will need to check
the video output each time you change connected components or
remove the HDMI cable.

If you’re playing a DVD or Video CD, an on-screen menu may
appear. See DVD-Video and DivX disc menus and Video CD PBC
menus on page 23 for more on how to navigate these.
The basic playback controls for playing DVD, CD, SACD, Video CD,
DivX video/WMV and MP3/WMA/MPEG-4 AAC discs are covered
here. Further functions are detailed in the next chapter.
• If you’re playing a containing DivX video/WMV files or MP3/
WMA/MPEG-4 AAC audio files, it may take a few seconds before
playback starts, etc. This is normal.
For details on playing JPEG picture discs, see Viewing a JPEG
slideshow on page 25.
• Please see Disc/content format playback compatibility on page 8
if you want to play a DualDisc (DVD/CD hybrid disc).
Important
• Throughout this manual, the term ‘DVD’ means DVD-Video,
DVD-Audio and DVD-R/-RW. If a function is specific to a
particular kind of DVD disc, it is specified.
Note
• You may find with some DVD discs that some playback controls
don’t work in certain parts of the disc. This is not a malfunction.
• If a disc contains a mixture of movie (DivX video/WMV) and other
media file types (MP3, for example), first select whether to play
the movie files (DivX/WMV) or the other media file types (MP3/
WMA/MPEG-4 AAC/JPEG) from the on-screen display. The
media file types are selected automatically when the Pure Audio

Resume and Last Memory
Video CD PBC menus
Some Video CDs have menus from which you can choose what you
want to watch. These are called PBC (Playback Control) menus.
04
With the exception of DVD-Audio and SACD discs, when you stop
playback of a DVD, CD, or Video CD or DivX video/WMV discs,
RESUME is shown in the display indicating that you can resume
playback again from that point.
You can play a PBC Video CD without having to navigate the PBC
menu by starting playback using a number button to select a track,
rather than the PLAY button.
If the disc tray is not opened, the next time you start playback the
display shows RESUME and playback resumes from the resume
point. (If you want to clear the resume point, press STOP while
RESUME is displayed.)
With DVDs and Video CDs, if you take the disc out of the player after
stopping playback, the last play position is stored in memory. If the
next disc you load is the same one, the display shows LAST MEM
and playback will resume. For DVD-Video discs, the player stores the
play position of the last five discs. When one of these discs is next
loaded, you can resume playback.
Note
• The Last Memory function doesn’t work with VR format DVD-R/
-RW, DVD-Audio or SACD discs.
• If you don’t need the Last Memory function when you stop a disc,
you can press OPEN/CLOSE to stop playback and open the
disc tray.

• Why can’t I hear SACD audio through the digital outputs?
04
FAQ
SACD digital audio is only available through the HDMI outputs
when connected to an HDMI-compatible amp that can handle
protected audio contents. Some DVD-Audio discs too only
output digital audio through the HDMI outputs.
• After I load a DVD disc, it ejects automatically after a few seconds!
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 DVD-Video regions on page 41.
• Is it better to listen to DVD-Audio discs through the analog
outputs?
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. See also
Taking care of your player and discs on page 40.
Some DVD-Audio discs do not output anything through the
digital outputs, and multichannel discs are downmixed to stereo
for the digital output. In addition, high sampling rate DVD-Audio
discs (higher than 96 kHz) automatically downsample audio
output from the digital outputs.
• Why won’t the disc I loaded play?
First check that you loaded the disc the right way up (label side
up), and that it’s clean and undamaged. See Taking care of your
player and discs on page 40 for information on cleaning discs.
Using the multichannel analog audio outputs for DVD-Audio
have none of these limitations.
• My DVD-Audio disc starts playing, but then suddenly stops!
If a disc loaded correctly won’t play, it’s probably an
incompatible format or disc type, such as DVD-ROM. See Disc/
content format playback compatibility on page 8 for more on disc
compatibility.
The disc may have been illegally copied.
• There’s no sound from the optical/coaxial outputs or the HDMI
interface!
• There’s no picture!
Check the front panel and make sure that the PURE AUDIO
indicator isn’t lit. If it is, press the PURE AUDIO button to switch
the digital audio (optical/coaxial and HDMI) outputs back on.
Check the front panel and make sure that the PURE AUDIO
indicator isn’t lit. If it is, press the PURE AUDIO button to switch
the video and HDMI outputs back on. See also Front panel on
page 16.
You won’t hear any sound from the HDMI output if the source
component is only DVI/HDCP-compatible.
Check that your TV is compatible with resolutions of 1080i, 720p,
or 480p. See Watching 1080i/720p/480p from the component
video outputs on page 12.
• 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.
• 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?
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 letter box format. This is not a malfunction.
• I’ve connected to a HDMI compatible component but I can’t get
any signal and the front panel HDMI indicator won’t light!
Make sure that you’ve selected this player as the HDMI input in
the settings for the component you’re using. You may need to
refer to the instruction manual of the component to do this. See
Connecting using HDMI on page 14 for more on HDMI
compatibility.
• There’s no picture from the HDMI output!
This player cannot display pictures from DVI compatible
sources. See Connecting using HDMI on page 14 for more on
HDMI compatibility.
Make sure the resolution on this player matches that of the
component you have connected using HDMI. See Resolution
(Max) on page 33 to change the HDMI resolution.
• My AV receiver is definitely compatible with 96 kHz/88.2 kHz
Linear PCM audio, but it doesn’t seem to work with this player.
What’s wrong?
For digital copy-protection purposes, some 96 kHz/88.2 kHz
DVD discs only output digital audio downsampled to 48 kHz/
44.1 kHz. This is not a malfunction.
To fully take advantage of the high sampling rate audio, connect
the analog audio outputs to your amplifier/receiver.

the signal accordingly. Note that ‘DVD-Audio compatible’ indicates compatibility with protected audio contents. ‘SACD compatible’ indicates compatibility with DSD signals.
2. If HDMI Out setting (page 32) is set to LPCM (2CH), DVD-Audio multichannel sources will be downmixed to stereo. (In cases where the source is downmix-prohibited, only
the front left/right channels are output.) For SACD sources, the 2 channel (stereo) SACD audio area is selected. If the output resolution is 480i or 480p, audio output may be
limited to 2 channel (depending to the connected component).
3. In cases where the source is downmix-prohibited, only the front left/right channels are output.
4. If CPPM shows in the front panel display, it means it is not possible to output CPPM copycontrolled DVD-Audio sources from the HDMI connection. Discs with no CPPM
protection are limited to 2 channel output.

Additional information
Taking care of your player and discs
Cleaning the unit’s exterior
Unplug the unit before cleaning.
Use a 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.
General
Hold discs by the edge or by the center hole and edge.
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).
Do not use furniture wax or cleaners. Never use thinners, benzine or
insecticide sprays or other chemicals on or near this unit.
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.
Don’t glue paper or put stickers on to discs. Do not use a pencil, ball-
point pen or other sharp-tipped writing instrument to write on the
disc.
Cleaning the pickup lens
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. We do not
recommend using commercially available lens cleaners for CD
players.
Don’t use self-adhesive disc labels on discs as these can cause the
disc to warp slightly during playback causing distortion in the
picture and/or sound.
Damaged and shaped discs
Do not use cracked, chipped, warped, or otherwise damaged discs
as they may damage the player.
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. Leave it to adjust to the warmer
temperature for about an hour before switching on.
Moving the player
If you need to move the player, first press STANDBY/ON on the
front panel or remote control to turn the player off. Wait for “-OFF-”
to disappear from the display, then unplug the power cable. Never
lift or move the unit during playback — discs rotate at a high speed
and may be damaged.
This player is designed to be used only with conventional, fully
circular discs. Do not use shaped discs. Pioneer disclaims all
liability arising in connection with the use of shaped discs.
Caution for when the unit is installed in a rack with a
glass door
Do not press the OPEN/CLOSE button on the remote control to
open the disc table while the glass door is closed. The door will
hamper movement of the disc table, and the disc table could be
damaged.
Cleaning discs
Fingerprints and dust on discs can affect playback performance.
Clean using a soft, dry cloth, wiping the disc lightly from the center
to the outside edge as shown below.
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.

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.
Use this procedure to reset all the player’s settings to the factory
default.

Using the front panel buttons, hold down the (stop)
button and press STANDBY/ON to switch the player back on.
Widescreen TV users
All the player’s settings are now reset.
If you have a widescreen TV, the TV Screen setting (page 33) of this
player should be set to 16:9 (Wide) or 16:9 (Compressed).
DVD-Video regions
When you watch discs recorded in 4:3 format with the 16:9 (Wide)
setting, 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.
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. In this case the attention sentence “Incompatible disc
region number Can’t play disc” is displayed on screen. Discs
marked ALL will play in any player. The diagram below shows the
various DVD regions of the world.
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 ‘letter box’ style with black bars at the top and bottom of the
screen.
Standard TV users
If you have a standard TV, the TV Screen setting (page 33) of this
