Composition
How to Proceed in This
Manual
DVD is an incredible format that presents the highest
quality digital audio and video available today.
DVD
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.
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 disc. Menu screens do not
belong to any title.
Get fam iliar w ith the player.
DVD player functions generally apply to titles on a disc or
chapters within a selected title. The player functions
available may also vary from title to title, depending on
the disc. When discs 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 10 to get familiar with the parts and
buttons on the main unit and remote control as they will
be referred to throughout this manual.

There is also a list of terms that can be found on page 58
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 16 shows how video and audio
connections may be made to suit your home
entertainment system.
DVD
Set up the player.
Super VCD/ Video CD/ CD
Before you can begin to enjoy the benefits of the DVD
format, you should set up the player to output the video
and audio information that corresponds to your system.
The section “Setting Up the Player” starting on page 19
explains how to use the Setup Navigator, a function that
automatically sets up the player corresponding to the
answers given in a multiple-choice on-screen procedure.
The Setup screen menus, described in the section
starting on page 26, are also used in a number of other
functions. Learning the procedure for operating the
menus will make using this player much easier and more
enjoyable.
Super VCDs, Video CDs and CDs are divided into units
referred to as tracks (Super VCDs and 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. Super VCDs/
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, Super VCDs, Video
CDs and CDs are considered to be a single title,
regardless of the number of tracks.
Track 1
Track 2
Track 3
Track 4
Play a disc.
When all the connections and setups have been made,
you are ready to play a DVD, Super VCD/Video CD, or CD
with the player. The section “Getting Started Using Your
DVD Player” starting on page 22 outlines the basic
player operations.

how to use the features available on many DVDs.

Connection Guide
Making
Connections
The illustration on this page shows the basic setup using
the audio and video cords included with this player. Use
this illustration as a guide to setting up your home
system.
An explanation of each type of audio and video
connection available can be found on the following
pages. To determine the best audio and video
connection setup for your system, refer to the manuals
supplied with the components you are making
connections to.
Connecting Your DVD Player
In addition to making physical connections to your TV or
monitor, it is also necessary to assign the TV screen size.
You can use the [Setup Navigator] in the Setup screen
General menu to set whether you are using a wide
screen or standard size TV or monitor (page 20).
Additionally, you can use the [TV Screen] setting in the
Setup screen Video menu (page 29).
Unlike any other audiovisual media format, DVD offers a
wide array of audio and video output options which
allows playback to be enjoyed in any number of system
configurations from a standard TV with stereo audio
input to a home theater system with a projection
monitor and full surround sound capabilities.
Notes
• When making connections to this unit or when changing
connections, check that the unit is in standby (off) by pressing
STANDBY/ ON (POWER), and unplug the power cord from
the power outlet.
• The analog video output on this player uses copy protect
circuitry to prevent the video playback on DVDs from being
copied. If you connect the player to a TV via a VCR, or record
and play back the contents of a disc with a VCR, the playback
picture may not be normal.

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 to an AV component without
decoding capabilities, the output is digital noise that could
potentially cause damage to your speakers.
Output To Be Compatible with
Your AV Components
– 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
the supplied audio cord, it is not necessary to make any
changes in this menu.

Setting the Parental Lock level
Changing the passw ord
Change the Parental Lock level to a higher or lower level
according to the settings printed on the DVD disc jacket
or accompanying documentation. If you use the
Condition Memory function to save the settings for a
particular disc, the Parental Lock level is saved as well.
Because it is saved in memory, Parental Lock levels can
be set for individual discs according to their content
rather than a set level for all DVDs.
Change your password whenever you feel it is
necessary. However, if you forget your existing
password, you cannot enter this screen to change it.

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
HOW TO HOLD DISCS
When loading or removing discs, try not to touch their
playing surfaces.
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.
CLEANING
Fingerprints or other dirt on the disc may affect sound
and picture quality.
AFTER USING DISCS, STORE THEM UPRIGHT
After playing a disc, always remove it from the player
and return it to its jacket. Then store it standing upright
away from heat and humidity.
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.
•
Store discs carefully. If you store discs at an angle, or
stacked on top of each other, discs may become
warped even when in their jackets.
•
Do not leave discs in locations such as the seat of a
car, which may become excessively hot.
Do not w ipe in a circular
direction (Concentric
scratches in the disc groove
tend to cause noise.)
Gently w ipe from the
inside tow ard the outer
edge.
CAUTION WHEN USING THE DISC
All rights reserved.
Unauthorized public performance, broadcasting or
copying is a violation of applicable laws.
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.
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 terminal.
Do not use cords with a length of over 3 m.
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,
but special care should be exercised in their use since
some may cause damage to the lens.
•
•
•
If moisture or dust has collected on the plug, wipe it
with a soft cloth before connecting.

CONDENSATION
For Proper and Long Use of
This Unit
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.
DO NOT MOVE THE UNIT DURING PLAYBACK
During playback, the disc rotates at high speed. Do NOT
lift or move the unit during playback. Doing so may
damage the disc.
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.
WHEN MOVING THE UNIT
WHEN MOVING THE UNIT
When changing places of installation or packing the unit
for moving, be sure to remove the discs and return the
disc table to its original position in the player. Then,
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.
press
on the remote control to switch the power to
standby. Check that the “--OFF--” indication on the
display goes off, then press POWER (for models with a
POWER switch) to switch the power off, and
disconnect the power cord. Moving this unit with the
disc 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.
SWITCH POWER TO STANDBY WHEN NOT
USING THE UNIT
When using the unit with a stereo system, install the
speakers a little bit away from the TV.
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 (off).
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.
•
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)
POWER-CORD CAUTION
DO NOT BLOCK VENTS
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 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.
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.
CAUTION: WHEN PLACING THE UNIT IN A
STEREO RACK WITH GLASS DOORS
Be sure there is ample space between the unit and
the glass doors when opening the disc table using
the remote control. If the disc table opens against
strong resistance, such as a closed glass door,
damage to the unit may result.

DTS
Terms
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, as
well as CDs. 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.
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.
Chapter num ber
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.
Dynam ic range
Dynamic range refers to the difference between the
maximum and minimum levels of the audio soundtrack
as measured in decibels (dB).
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.
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.
Karaoke m ode
This mode is used when you desire to enjoy Karaoke.
There is no digital output when using in the Karaoke
mode. Set to the Normal mode when desiring to enjoy
moviesor music.
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.
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.
Digital output (Optical)
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.
Multi-angle
When you watch a TV program, you are watching the
image filmed through the TV camera. Because of this,
the picture is displayed on your TV from the viewpoint of
the TV camera’s position. In a TV studio, the image is
filmed by many cameras at the same time, and one of
those images is selected by the program director and
transmitted to your TV. If all the filmed images were
transmitted to your TV you would be able to select the
camera image you want. 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.
Dolby Digital
The maximum 5.1 channels of audio used in the
surround system (Surround Digital) for movie theaters is
digital data compressed by the third generation
algorithm encoder, AC-3.
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 with Dolby
Digital decoding capability or to a Dolby Digital decoder.

Multi-Language Subtitles
Sam pling Frequency
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.
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.
Multiple Languages
On DVDs, you can select the language on when
watching movies or other media that have multiple
language and/or audio soundtracks recorded on them.
Up to 8 different language and/or audio soundtracks can
be recorded on a DVD disc.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Title num ber
DVD discs are divided into units referred to as titles, and
titles are divided into chapters. Menu screens do not
belong to any title. A disc which contains a movie may
have only one title with many or no chapter divisions.
Karaoke discs may have many titles, assigning a title to
each song on the disc.
Playback Control (PBC)
This refers to signals recorded on a Super VCD or 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.
Regional restriction codes (region num ber)
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.
