Before you start
Introduction to home theater
General disc compatibility
You are probably used to using stereo
equipment to listen to music, but may not be
used to home theater systems that give you
many more options (such as surround
sound) when listening to soundtracks.
This player was designed and engineered to
be compatible with software bearing one or
more of the following logos.
DVD-Video
Home theater refers to the use of multiple
audio channels to create a surround sound
effect, making you feel like you're in the
middle of the action or concert. The sur-
round sound you get from a home theater
system depends not only on the speakers
you have set up in your room, but also on the
source and the sound settings of the system.
Audio CD
Video CD
CD-R
CD-RW
Other formats, including but not limited to
the following, are not playable in this player:
• DVD-Audio, SACD, Photo CD, DVD-
RAM, DVD-ROM, CD-ROM*
(*except those that contain MP3 files
formatted as specified in the MP3 audio
compatibility section)
DVD-Video has become the basic source
material for home theater due to its size,
quality, and ease of use. Depending on the
DVD, you can have up to seven different
audio tracks coming from one disc, all of
them being sent to different speakers in your
system. This is what creates a surround
sound effect and gives you the feeling of
‘being there’.
• DVD-R/RW and CD-R/RW discs (Audio
CDs and Video CDs) recorded using a
DVD recorder, CD recorder or personal
computer may not be playable on this
machine. This may be caused by a
number of possibilities, including but
not limited to: the type of disc used; the
type of recording; damage, dirt or
condensation on either the disc or the
player’s pick-up lens.
This receiver will automatically decode Dolby
Digital, DTS or Dolby Surround DVD-Video
discs. In most cases, you won’t have to make
changes for realistic surround sound, but
other possibilities (like listening to a CD with
multi-channel surround sound) are explained
in Playing sources, starting on page 43.
CD-R/RW compatibility
• This unit will play CD-R and CD-RW
discs recorded in CD Audio or Video CD
format, or as a CD-ROM containing MP3
audio files. However, any other content
may cause the disc not to play, or create
noise/distortion in the output.

Before you start
01
• This unit cannot record CD-R or CD-RW
discs.
MP3 audio compatibility
• This unit will play CD-ROM discs
containing files saved in the MPEG-1
Audio Layer 3 format (MP3) with a
sampling rate of 32, 44.1 or 48kHz.
Incompatible files will not play and
UNPLAYABLE will show in the display.
• Unfinalized CD-R/RW discs recorded as
CD Audio can be played, but the full
Table of Contents (playing time, etc.) will
not be displayed.
• Fixed bit-rate files are recommended.
Variable bit-rate (VBR) files are playable,
but playing time may not be shown
correctly.
DVD-R/RW compatibility
• This unit will play DVD-R/RW discs that
were recorded using the DVD Video
format.
• The CD-ROM used to compile your MP3
files must be ISO 9660 Level 2 compli-
ant.
• This unit will not play DVD-RW discs
that were recorded using the Video
Recording format.
• CD physical format: Mode1, Mode2 XA
Form1.
• This unit cannot record DVD-R/RW
discs.
• This player only plays tracks that are
named with the file extension “.mp3” or
“.MP3”.
• Unfinalized DVD-R/RW discs cannot be
played in this player.
• 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.
PC-created disc compatibility
• If you record a disc using a personal
computer, even if it is recorded in a
compatible format as listed above, there
will be cases in which the disc may not
be playable in this machine due to the
setting of the application software used
to create the disc. In these particular
instances, check with the software
• Use CD-R or CD-RW media for record-
ing your MP3 files. The disc must be
finalized in order to play in this unit.
• This player can recognize a maximum of
250 folders and 250 tracks. Discs
containing more than 250 folders or 250
tracks will play, but only the first 250
folders / tracks.
publisher for more detailed information.
• Check the DVD-R/RW or CD-R/RW
software disc boxes for additional
compatibility information.
• Folder and track names (excluding the
“.mp3” extension) are displayed.

Before you start
• There are many different recording bit-
rates available to encode your MP3 files.
This unit was designed to be compatible
with all of them. Audio encoded at
128Kbps should sound close to regular
CD Audio quality. This player will play
lower bit-rate MP3 tracks, but please
note that the sound quality becomes
noticeably worse at lower bit-rates.
DVD Video regions
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.
The diagram below shows the various DVD
regions of the world.
Titles, chapters and tracks
DVD discs are generally divided into one or
more titles. Titles may be further subdivided
into chapters.
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.

Using the on-screen displays
For ease of use, this player makes extensive
use of graphical on-screen displays (OSDs).
You should get used to the way these work as
you’ll need to use them when setting up the
player, using some of the playback features,
such as program play, and when making
more advanced settings for audio and video.
• Throughout this manual, ‘Select’ means
use the cursor buttons to highlight an
item on-screen, then press ENTER.
• The button guide at the bottom of every
OSD screen shows you which buttons
you’ll need to use for that screen.
All the screens are navigated in basically the
same way, using the cursor buttons to
change the highlighted item and pressing
ENTER to select it.

• I have a widescreen TV so why are there
black bars at the top and bottom of the
screen when I play some discs?
If you’re playing a DVD or Video CD, a menu
may appear. See pages 20–21 for how to
navigate these.
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.
If you’re playing an MP3 disc, it may take a
few seconds before playback starts, depend-
ing on the complexity of the file structure on
the disc.
• 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?
• After I load a DVD disc, it ejects automati-
cally after a few seconds!
Some discs override the display
Most likely, the disc is the wrong region

preferences of the player, so even if you
have 4:3 (Pan & Scan) selected, those
discs will still be shown in letterbox
format. This is not a malfunction.
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 page 59.
• 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 not damaged. See page 59 for
information on cleaning discs.
If a disc loaded correctly won’t play, it’s
probably an incompatible format or disc
type, such as DVD-Audio or DVD-ROM.

Radio Data System, or RDS as it’s usually
known, is a system used by FM radio stations
to provide listeners with various kinds of
information—the name of the station and
the kind of show they’re broadcasting, for
example. This information shows up as text
on the display, and you can switch between
the kind of information shown. Although you
don’t get RDS information from all FM radio
stations, you do with most.

Leisure interests and
hobbies
Probably the best feature of RDS is that you
can search automatically by type of program.
So, if you felt like listening to jazz, you could
search for a station that’s broadcasting a
show with the program type, JAZZ. There are
around 30 such program types, including
various genres of music, news, sport, talk
shows, financial information, and so on.
WEATHER
FINANCE

This system lets you display three different
kinds of RDS information: Radio Text,
Program Service Name, and Program Type.
LEISURE
Radio Text (RT) is messages sent by the radio
station. These can be anything the broad-
caster chooses—a talk radio station might
give out it telephone number as RT, for
example.

Program Service Name (PS) is the name of

Program Type (PTY) indicates the kind of
program currently being broadcast.
This unit can search for and display the
following program types:
In addition, there is a program type,
ALARM!, used for exceptional emergency
announcements. You can’t search for this,
but the tuner will switch automatically to this
RDS broadcast signal.

Press ENTER to search for the program
type.
The system starts searching through the
station presets for a match. When it finds
one, the search stops and the station plays
for five seconds.
• If you see NO DATA in the RT display, it
means no RT data is being transmitted
from the broadcast station. The display
will automatically switch to the PS data

the station, the frequency will be

If you want to keep listening to the

If you don’t press ENTER, searching

• In the PTY display, there are cases where
NO DATA or NO TYPE is shown. If this
happens, the PS display is shown after a

Pro Logic II Movie
Using the multi-channel
sound modes
This mode gives 5.1 channel surround
sound. It is suitable for movies, especially
those recorded in Dolby Surround. The
channel separation and movement of
surround effects is comparable to Dolby
Digital 5.1.
There are three basic multi-channel sound
modes: Auto, Surround and Advanced
Surround. The Stereo mode (available in all
three modes) bypasses the multi-channel
sound modes and downmixes multi-channel
sources to your two-front speakers.
Pro Logic II Music
This mode gives 5.1 channel surround sound
and is suitable for music. Compared to Pro
Logic II Movie, the surround effect is more
enveloping.
Auto
The AUTO mode automatically decodes
Dolby Digital, DTS or Dolby Surround
sources. You can identify Dolby Digital
software by the 1 or
marks.
Advanced Surround modes
These are designed to be used with multi
channel surround sound audio/visual
sources (like DVDs and LDs). Most Advanced
Surround modes are designed to be used
with film soundtracks, but some modes are
also suited for music sources. Try different
settings with various soundtracks to see
which you like.
Most Dolby Surround software is marked
3, but unmarked software may also
incorporate Dolby Surround.
Surround modes
The surround mode options (below) can add
surround sound to regular stereo sources.
Choose one of the following to add depth to
a 2 channel source:
Advanced Music
Simulates the acoustic environment of a
large concert hall and is suitable for music
Pro Logic
This mode gives 4.1 channel surround
sound. It is less sensitive to the quality of the
source material, so may be useful when Pro
Logic II Movie/ Music modes do not give
good results.

Virtual Surround Back
Phones Surround
The Virtual Surround Back effect simulates
6.1 surround channel listening, giving the
impression that there is a surround back
speaker in your system when listening to a
5.1 channel source.
This is very similar to the Virtual Surround
mode, and is available when you’re listening
to the headphones to create an overall
surround sound effect.
Stereo
Expanded
When you select STEREO (available in both
the Surround and Advanced surround
modes), you will hear the source through
just the front left and right speakers. Dolby
Digital and DTS multi-channel sources are
downmixed to stereo.
This mode is especially designed to give
sound depth to stereo sources. The overall
effect builds a dynamic and broad sound
space, allowing two-channel (stereo) signals
to imitate a five speaker sound. Use with
Dolby Pro Logic for a stereo surround effect.
You can also use with Dolby Digital sources
for a wider stereo field than the Surround
modes.
The audio plays according to the surround
setup settings and you can still use the tone
control (SOUND MODE) functions.
Listening to multi-channel
playback
TV Surround
You can use this mode to give surround
sound to mono or stereo TV audio sources.
Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Digital and DTS
signal processing is done automatically
corresponding to the input signal.
Virtual Surround
When you select this mode, you will hear a
surround sound effect produced from the
two front speakers only. When selected, you
won’t hear any sound from the other
speakers in your system.

Some sources may produce a high signal
level which may produce unpleasant
distortion from the speakers. In such cases,
you may need to reduce the signal level of
the auxiliary source (connected to the TV or

Using discs with this unit
11
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).
Handling discs
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.
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 unusable.
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.
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.
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 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.
Wipe lightly from the center of the disc
using straight strokes.
Don’t wipe the disc surface using
circular strokes.
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.
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.

Cleaning the pickup lens
Proper installation and
maintenance of this unit
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.
Hints on installation
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...
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 perform-
ance. For this reason you should leave it to
adjust to the warmer temperature for about an
hour before switching on and using.
✓ Use in a well-ventilated room.
✓ Place on a solid, flat, level surface, such as
a table, shelf or stereo rack.
Don’t...
✗ Use in a place exposed to high tempera-
tures 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.
Moving the unit
✗ Use in an excessively dusty or damp
environment.
If you need to move the unit, first press
STANDBY/ON on the front panel to turn the
player off. Wait for GOOD BYE 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.
✗ 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.
• Unplugging the unit before GOOD BYE
completely disappears from the display
may cause the system to return to the
factory settings.
✗ Use on a thick rug or carpet, or cover with
cloth—this may prevent proper cooling of
the unit.
✗ Place on an unstable surface, or one that
is not large enough to support all four of
the unit’s feet.

Additional information
Set to 4:3 (Pan&Scan), widescreen discs are
shown with the left and right sides cropped.
Although the picture looks larger, you don’t
actually see the whole picture.
Screen sizes and disc formats
DVD-Video discs come in several different
screen aspects, ranging from TV programs,
which are generally 4:3, to CinemaScope
widescreen movies, with an aspect ratio of
up to about 7:3.
Televisions also come in different aspect
ratios; ‘standard’ 4:3 and widescreen 16:9.
Widescreen TV users
If you have a widescreen TV, the TV Screen
setting (page 51) of this player should be set
to 16:9 (Wide).
Please note that many widescreen discs
override the player’s settings so that the disc
is shown in letterbox format regardless of the
setting.
When you watch discs recorded in 4:3
format, 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.
• Using the 16:9 (Wide) setting with a
standard 4:3 TV, or either of the 4:3
settings with a widescreen TV, will result
in a distorted picture.
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 ‘letterbox’ 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 52) of this player should be set
to 4:3 (Letter Box) or 4:3 (Pan&Scan),
depending on which you prefer.
Set to 4:3 (Letter Box), widescreen discs are
shown with black bars top and bottom.

Glossary
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 dynamic range,
delivering dramatic cinema-like effects.
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.
File extension
Aspect ratio
A tag added to the end of a filename to
indicate the type of file. For example, “.mp3”
indicates an MP3 file.
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).
MP3
MP3 (MPEG1 audio layer 3) is a compressed
audio file format. Files are recognized by
their file extension “.mp3” or “.MP3”.
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, 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.
MPEG audio
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.
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.
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.
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. See also Digital audio.
DTS
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.
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.

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).
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 fre-
quency of 44.1kHz, which means 44,100
samples (measurements) per second. See
also Digital audio.

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.
