POWER-CORD CAUTION
CAUTION
The STANDBY/ON switch on this unit will not
completely shut off all power from the AC outlet.
Since the power cord serves as the main disconnect
device for the unit, you will need to unplug it from
the AC outlet to shut down all power. Therefore,
make sure the unit has been installed so that the
power cord can be easily unplugged from the AC
outlet in case of an accident. To avoid fire hazard,
the power cord should also be unplugged from the
AC outlet when left unused for a long period of time
(for example, when on vacation).
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
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. S002_En
D3-4-2-2-2a_A_En
If the AC plug of this unit does not match the AC
outlet you want to use, the plug must be removed
and appropriate one fitted. Replacement and
mounting of an AC plug on the power supply cord of
this unit should be performed only by qualified
service personnel. If connected to an AC outlet, the
cut-off plug can cause severe electrical shock. Make
sure it is properly disposed of after removal.

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. Progressive scan video is available
only from the component video output.
Note
1 The component video output is switchable between interlaced and progressive formats. See Video Output settings on page 26.
2 Consumers should note that not all high-definition television sets are fully compatible with this product and may cause arti-
facts to be displayed in the picture. In case of 525 progressive scan picture problems, it is recommended that the user switch
the connection to the ‘standard definition’ output (Interlace). If there are questions regarding our TV set compatibility with this
model, please contact our customer service center.
3 SCART cables are available in several configurations. Make sure that the one you get will work with this system and your TV/
monitor (see SCART pin assignment above).

2 An HDMI connection can only be made with DVI-equipped components compatible with both DVI and High Bandwidth Digital

so. A DVI connection, however, does not support audio signals. Consult your local audio dealer for more information.
• This unit has been designed to be compliant with HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) Version 1.1. Depending on
the component you have connected, using a DVI connection may result in unreliable signal transfers.

the new component (see Video Output settings on page 26 to do this).

About HDMI
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.
You can also adjust the HDMI settings for
resolution and color. For more on these
settings see Video Output settings on page 26.
Switching the HDMI audio setting
To listen to audio from the HDMI interconnect,
make sure you’ve specified the HDMI audio
output setting.
HDMI has the capability to support standard,
enhanced, or high-definition video plus
standard to multichannel surround-sound
audio. HDMI features include uncompressed
digital video, a bandwidth of up to 2.2 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.

unplayable format.
The non-DVD, audio side of the disc is not
compliant with the CD Audio specification and
therefore may not play.
The DVD side of a DualDisc plays in this

Hold the disc by its edges when handling so as

About MPEG-4 AAC
If a disc becomes marked with fingerprints,
dust, etc., clean using a soft, dry cloth.
Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) is at the core of
the MPEG-4 AAC standard, which incorporates
MPEG-2 AAC, forming the basis of the MPEG-4

Storing discs
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.

DVD Video regions
Cleaning the pickup lens
All DVD Video discs carry a region mark that
indicates which region(s) of the world the disc
is compatible with. Your DVD system also has
a region mark (on the rear panel). Discs from
incompatible regions will not play in this
player. Discs marked ALL play in any player.
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 are commercially
available, we do not recommend using them
since some may damage the lens.
Installation and maintenance
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 performance.
Leave it to adjust to the warmer temperature
for about an hour before switching on.
Hints on installation
We want you to enjoy using this system for
years to come, so please bear in mind the
following points when choosing a location:
Do...
ꢅ Use in a well-ventilated room.
ꢅPlace on a solid, flat, level surface, such as a

Never lift or move the unit during playback—
discs rotate at high speeds and may damage.
ꢆ Place on a window sill or other place where the
system will be exposed to direct sunlight.
ꢆ Use in an excessively dusty or damp
environment.
ꢆ Place directly on top of an amplifier, or other
component in your stereo system that becomes
hot in use.
ꢆ Use near a television or monitor as you may
experience interference—especially if the
television uses an indoor antenna.
Screen sizes and disc formats
DVD-Video discs come in 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.
ꢆ Use in a kitchen or other room where the system
may be exposed to smoke or steam.

Note
3 • Using the 16:9 (Wide) setting with a standard 4:3 TV, or one of the 4:3 settings with a widescreen TV, will result in distortion.
• 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.
• Some movie aspect ratios are wider than 16:9, so even with a widescreen TV, these discs will still play in a ‘letterbox’ style.
1 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. However, in some cases, the image may appear without col-
or. If your PAL TV does not have a V-Hold control, you may not be able to watch NTSC discs because of picture 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.
