Thank you for buying this Pioneer product.
Please read through these operating instructions so you will know how to operate
your model properly.

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
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.
Consumer Electronics Group recommend you avoid
prolonged exposure to excessive noise. This list of
sound levels is included for your protection.
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.

to a video input on your TV.
•
•
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.
If you don’t mind mono sound, you can buy
a stereo RCA-to-mono RCA cable from an
electronics store. Connect the stereo end to
this player and the mono end to your TV.
This enables you to listen to multichannel
surround sound.
For a coaxial connection, use a coaxial
cable (similar to the supplied video cable) to
connect the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack to a
coaxial input on your AV receiver.

About progressive scan
video
Compared to interlace video, progressive scan
video effectively doubles the scanning rate of the
picture, resulting in a very stable, flicker-free
image.
Compatibility of this unit with
progressive-scan TVs.
This player is compatible with progressive video
Macro Vision System Copy Guard.
Progressive scan video is available only from the
COMPONENT VIDEO OUT. Use the PROGRES-
SIVE button on the front panel to switch the
COMPONENT VIDEO OUT between Interlace
and Progressive. With a DVD-Video disc you can
do this during playback, or when the disc is
stopped. For other types of disc, the player must
be stopped.
CONSUMERS SHOULD NOTE THAT NOT ALL
HIGH DEFINITION TELEVISION SETS ARE
FULLY COMPATIBLE WITH THIS PRODUCT
AND MAY CAUSE ARTIFACTS TO BE DIS-
PLAYED IN THE PICTURE. IN CASE OF 525
PROGRESSIVE SCAN PICTURE PROBLEMS, IT IS
RECOMMENDED THAT THE USER SWITCH THE
CONNECTION TO THE “STANDARD DEFINI-
TION” OUTPUT. IF THERE ARE QUESTIONS
REGARDING OUR TV SET COMPATIBILITY
WITH THIS MODEL 525p DVD PLAYER,
PLEASE CONTACT OUR CUSTOMER SERVICE
CENTER.
If you connect a TV that is not compatible
with a progressive scan signal and switch
the player to Progressive, you will not be
able to see any picture at all. In this case,
press the PROGRESSIVE button on the front
panel to switch back to Interlace (the
PROGRESSIVE indicator should be unlit).
•
When COMPONENT VIDEO OUT is set to
Progressive, there is no video output from
the VIDEO OUT (composite) and S (S-video)
jacks. If you want to display video on more
than one monitor simultaneously, make
sure that it is set to Interlace. Press
PROGRSSIVE on the front panel to switch
the player back to Interlace.

setting-widescreen DVD software is then shown
using the full screen area. When playing
software recorded in conventional (4:3) format,
the settings on your TV will determine how the
material is presented-see the manual that came
with your TV for details on what options are
available.

Field – produces a stable, generally shake-
free image

Auto – automatically chooses the best
setting each time
If you have a conventional TV, select either
4:3 (Letter Box) or 4:3 (Pan & Scan). In Letter
Box mode, widescreen software is shown with
black bars at the top and bottom of the screen.
Pan & Scan chops the sides off widescreen
material to make it fit the 4:3 screen (so even
though the image looks larger on the screen,
you’re actually seeing less of the picture). See
also Screen sizes and disc formats on page 65.
Depending on the disc, there are times
when the picture quality may not become

Audio DRC is only effective with Dolby
Digital audio sources.
When watching Dolby Digital DVDs at low
volume, it’s easy to lose the quieter sounds
completely-including some of the dialog.
Switching Audio DRC (Dynamic Range Control)
to On can help by bringing up the quieter
sounds, while controlling loud peaks.
How much of a difference you hear depends on
the material you’re listening to. If the material
doesn’t have wide variations in volume, you may
not notice much change.
Audio DRC is only effective through the
digital output when Digital Out (see page
19) is set to On, and Dolby Digital Out (see
page 20) is set to Dolby Digital > PCM.
The effect of Audio DRC depends on your
speakers and AV receiver settings.

Storing discs
Although CDs and DVD discs are more durable
Taking care of your
player and discs
than vinyl records, you should still handle and
store discs carefully. When not in use, return the
disc to its jewele case or jacket and store
vertically. Avoid leaving discs in excessively cold,
humid, or hot environments (including in direct
sunlight).
Do NOT place paper stickers onto the disc.
When writing on a disc, do NOT mark with a
pencil, ball-point pen, or other sharp-tipped
writing instrument that may damage a disc.
Handling discs
When holding discs of any type, take care not to
leave fingerprints, smears or scratches on the
disc surface. Hold the disc by an edge or
pinched between the center hole and an edge.
Damaged or dirty discs can affect playback
performance. 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 corrupted or unusable.
Should a disc become marked with fingerprints,
dust, etc., clean using a soft, dry cloth, wiping
the disc lightly from the center to an outside
edge as shown in the diagram below.
For more detailed care information see the
instructions that come with discs.
Do not load more than one disc into the player at
a time.
Discs to avoid
Discs spin at high speeds inside the player. Discs
that are cracked, chipped or warped can damage
or possibly destroy the player’s optics.
Wipe lightly from the center of the disc
using straight strokes.
Don't wipe the disc surface using
circular strokes.
This player is designed for use with conventional,
circular discs only. Shaped discs such as
business card sized are not recommended for
this product. Pioneer disclaims all liability arising
in connection with the use of shaped discs.
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
or any other cleaning agents, including products
designed for cleaning vinyl records.

Cleaning the unit’s exterior
•
Place where 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 playback 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 close to a 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.
•
Use a polishing cloth or 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. Wrung out the cloth well before
wiping then use a dry cloth to wipe again.
Do not use furniture wax or cleaners. Never
use thinners, benzine or insecticide sprays
or other chemicals on or near this unit since
these chemicals can corrode the surfaces.
If you use a chemically-treated 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.
Unplug the unit when cleaning.
•
Cleaning the pickup lens
•
Place on an unstable surface, or one that is
not large enough to support all four of the
unit’s supports.
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.
Moving the player
If you need to move the player, first press
ꢀ STANDBY/ON on the front panel to turn the
player off. Wait for POWER indicator to turn
orange, then unplug the power cable. Never lift
or move the unit when a disc is playing or is still
spinning as this shift may cause damage.
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 performance. For this
reason you should allow it to adjust to the
warmer/cooler temperature for approximately an
hour before switching on the unit.
Power cable caution
Handle the power cable by the plug part. Do not
pull out the plug by tugging the cable. Never
touch the power cable when your hands are wet
as this could cause a short circuit or electrical
shock. Do not place anything on the power cord
that could pinch or damage the cable in any
other way. Never make a knot in the cable or tie it
in a bundle with other cables. Power cables
should be routed so that they are not likely to be
stepped on. A damaged power cable can cause a
fire or give an electric shock. Inspect the cord
periodically for damage or wear. If it needs to be
replaced, ask your nearest Pioneer authorized
service center or your dealer for a replacement.
Hints on installation
We want you to enjoy using this product for years
to come, so please bear in mind the following
points when choosing a suitable location for it:
Do...
•
•
Use in a well-ventilated room.
Place on a solid, flat, level surface, such as
a table, shelf or stereo rack.

Please note that many widescreen productions
override the player’s settings so that the disc is
shown in the author’s chosen aspect ratio,
regardless of the setting.
Screen sizes and disc
formats
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.
Televisions, too, come in different aspect ratios;
“standard” 4:3 and widescreen 16:9.
Using the 16:9 (Wide) setting with a
standard 4:3 TV/monitor, or either of the 4:3
settings with a widescreen TV, results in a
distorted picture.
Widescreen TV users
Titles, Chapters and
Tracks
For Widescreen TVs, set the player’s TV Screen
option (page 21) to the widescreen aspect ratio
16:9 (Wide).
DVD discs are generally divided into one or more
titles. Titles may be further subdivided into
chapters.
When watching discs with the standard 4:3, use
the TV controls to select how the picture
appears. Your TV may offer various zoom and
stretch options; see the operating instructions
provided with your TV or monitoring system.
Please note that some movie aspect ratios are
wider than 16:9. Thus, although the picture is
shown in widescreen, these video clips play in a
“letter box” style with black bars at the top and
bottom of the screen.
Title 1
Title 2
Title 3
Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 1 Chapter 1 Chapter 2
CDs and Video CDs are divided into tracks.
Standard TV users
If you have a standard TV, the TV Screen setting
(page 21) of this player should be set to 4:3
(Letter Box) or 4:3 (Pan&Scan), depending on
you preferences.
Track 1 Track 2 Track 3 Track 4 Track 5 Track 6
4:3 (Letter Box), widescreen discs are shown
with black bars above and below the picture.
DVD-Video Regions
DVD-Video region marks designate compatible
playback area(s) for each DVD-Video disc. DVD
players also have a region mark, usually found
on the rear panel. Discs and players with
different regions are incompatible.
Discs marked ALL are compatible with this
player model.
4:3 (Pan&Scan), widescreen discs are shown
with the left and right sides cropped. While the
picture appears larger, the visible area is
actually reduced.

Interface Connector
A computer may be connected to the DVD-V5000 using a 15-pin D-Sub connector (e.g., a JAE DALC-
J15SAF connector with a suitable plug such as the JAE DA-15PF-N) to the RS-232C serial port or to the
parallel port.
This unit includes a 9-pin male connector for use as a serial control connector. Through the ADV.
SETUP menu, either a 15-pin or 9-pin connector can be used. However, the 9-pin and 15-pin connectors
cannot be accessed simultaneously.

Communication with a Computer
The DVD-V5000 communicates to the computer
through the RS-232C port using pins 2 and 3 for
communication and Pin 1 on the 15-pin D-sub
connector or Pin 5 on the 9-pin D-sub connector
for grounding. Control or “handshaking” lines
other than the TxD and RxD connections are not
required. Please refer to the diagram below for
clarification.
Computer Control Functions
Serial Control
The player and computer are based upon the
RS-232C protocol and connect through the TxD,
RxD, DTR and GND terminals.
Extend Terminal
Control the player with the Extend Terminal
(SW#).
Computer
DVD-V5000
External Power Control
Control the player’s power with the Power Pin
within the Interface Connector.
TxD
RxD
If the player detects a high signal throughput (100
msec or more) during the Standby mode, the
player powers ON. If the player detects the same
signal during the Power ON mode, the player
powers OFF and switches to the Standby mode.
The specifications for the Power pin are as
follows:
RxD
TxD
GND
GND
Some computers require the CTS port to be set
to HIGH during communication. It is best to
connect the CTS and DSR port on the computer
to the DTR port on the player. During normal
operation the player’s DTR is set to HIGH thus
the unit is able to receive a command at any
time.

Data Transfer Speed (Baud Rate)
The data transfer speed may be set to
either 19200 or 9600 bps through the
ADV. SETUP menu (see page 42).
The command string enters the buffer with the
first character and continues sequentially from
left to right. When <CR> is entered, the
commands are executed sequentially beginning
with the first command in the buffer. In the
example above, the first command is 10SE.
The factory default is 19200 bps.

When all the commands in a string have finished executing, the player transmits or returns the
“complete” message that is represented by a capital letter R.
If an error occurs, the player returns an error message such as E04. The message indicates an error
has occurred as well as the type of error. Error messages are in the form of EXX where XX represents a
2-digit error code.

MPEG audio
Glossary
An audio format used on Video CDs and some
DVD discs. This unit can convert MPEG audio to
PCM format for wider compatibility with digital
recorders and AV amplifiers. See also PCM
(Pulse Code Modulation).
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.
MPEG video
The video format used for Video CDs and DVDs.
Video CD uses the older MPEG-1 standard, while
DVD uses the newer and much better quality
MPEG-2 standard.
Aspect ratio
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).
PBC (PlayBack Control) (Video CD only)
A system of navigating a Video CD through on-
screen menus recorded onto the disc. Especially
good for discs that you would normally not watch
from beginning to end all at once—karaoke
discs, for example.
Digital audio
An indirect representation of sound by numbers.
During recording, the sound is measured at
discrete intervals (44,100 times a second for CD
audio) by an analog-to-digital converter, generat-
ing 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.
PCM (Pulse Code Modulation)
The most common system of encoding digital
audio, found on CDs and DAT. Excellent quality,
but requires a lot of data compared to formats
such as Dolby Digital and MPEG audio. For
compatibility with digital audio recorders (CD,
MD and DAT) and AV amplifiers with digital
inputs, this unit can convert Dolby Digital, DTS
and MPEG audio to PCM. See also Digital audio.
Dolby Digital
1
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.
The on-screen display shows which channels are
active, for example showing 3/2.1. The 3 being
the two front channels and the center channel;
the 2 being the surround channels, and the .1
being the LFE channel.
Regions (DVD-Video only)
These associate discs and players with particular
areas of the world. This unit will only play discs
that have compatible region codes. You can find
the region code of your unit by looking on the
rear panel. Some discs are compatible with more
than one region (or all regions).
DTS
DTS stands for Digital Theater Systems. DTS is a
surround system different from Dolby Digital that
has become a popular surround sound format
for movies.
Sampling frequency
The rate at which sound is measured to be
turned into digital audio data. The higher the
rate, the better the sound quality, but the more
digital information is generated. Standard CD
audio has a sampling frequency of 44.1kHz,
which means 44,100 samples (measurements)
per second. See also Digital audio.
Dynamic range
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
range, delivering dramatic cinema-like effects.
