• Before unplugging the player from the
power outlet, make sure you first switch it
into standby using either the front panel
ꢂ STANDBY/ON button, or the remote
control, and wait of the -OFF- message to
disappear from the player’s display.
If your TV (or other equipment) has an S-video
input, you can use this instead of the stan-
dard (composite) output for a better quality
picture.
•
Use an S-video cable (not supplied) to
connect the S-VIDEO OUT to an S-video
input on your TV (or monitor or AV
receiver).
Line up the small triangle above the jack with
the same mark on the plug before plugging
in.
• For the above reasons, do not plug this
player into a switched power supply found
on some amplifiers and AV receivers.
• When Component Out (page 53) 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 simulta-
neously, make sure that it is set to Inter-

and VIDEO OUT jacks on this player to a
set of analog audio and video inputs on
your AV receiver.
To enjoy multichannel surround sound you
need to connect this player to an AV receiver
using a digital output. This player has both
coaxial and optical digital jacks; use which-
ever is convenient.
In addition to a digital connection, we recom-
mend also connecting using the stereo
analog connection.

Connecting up
• My TV doesn’t have any inputs to connect
the DVD player. How can I watch DVDs?
If your TV has no inputs you can’t use this
player with it.
• My VCR is already connected to my TV, so
there aren’t any spare inputs. What should
I do?
If all your TV’s inputs are already in use,
you can buy a video input selector from an
electronics store, which effectively gives
you more inputs.
• My TV only has one input for the sound.
What should I plug it into?
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.
If you want stereo sound, connect this
player to your amplifier or stereo system
using a stereo audio cable.
• I connected the DVD player to my AV
receiver, and although the sound is fine,
there’s no picture. What did I do wrong?
Make sure that the correct video input is
selected on your TV.
Also make sure that the type of video
connection from the DVD player to your
AV receiver is the same as that from the
receiver to your TV. Most AV receivers
won’t convert from one kind of connection
to another.

• My AV receiver is definitely compatible with
96kHz Linear PCM audio, but it doesn’t
seem to work with this player. What’s
wrong?
• After I load a DVD disc, it ejects automati-
cally after a few seconds!
For digital copy-protection purposes,
some 96kHz DVD discs only output digital
audio downsampled to 48kHz. This is not
a malfunction.
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
on page 65.
To fully take advantage of the high
sampling rate audio, connect the analog
audio outputs to your amplifier/receiver.
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 61.
• 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 Taking care
of your player and discs on page 61 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-ROM. See Disc /
content format playback compatibility on
page 8 for more on disc compatibility.
• 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 prefer-
ences 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.

Audio DRC
• Default setting: Off
• 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.
• Audio DRC is only effective through the
digital output when Digital Out (see
page 51) is set to On, and Dolby Digital
Out (see page 52) is set to Dolby Digital
> PCM.
How much of a difference you hear depends
on the material you’re listening to. If the mate-
rial doesn’t have wide variations in volume,
you may not notice much change.
• The effect of Audio DRC depends on your
speakers and AV receiver settings.

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.

Additional information
If necessary, use a cloth soaked in alcohol, or
Taking care of your player and
discs
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.
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.
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).
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.
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.
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.
For more detailed care information see the
instructions that come with discs.
Wipe lightly from the center of the disc
using straight strokes.
Do not load more than one disc into the player
at a time.
Don’t wipe the disc surface using circular
strokes.

Discs to avoid
Cleaning the pickup lens
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 it.
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.
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
leave it to adjust to the warmer temperature
for about an hour before switching on and
using.
This player 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 unit’s exterior
• 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 and wrung out well, then
wipe again with a dry cloth.
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 not use furniture wax or cleaners.
Never use thinners, benzine or insecticide
sprays or other chemicals on or near this
unit since they will corrode the surfaces.
Do...
ꢄUse in a well-ventilated room.
ꢄPlace on a solid, flat, level surface, such
as a table, shelf or stereo rack.
• If you use a chemical-impregnated
cleaning cloth, read the instructions
carefully before use.
Don’t...
ꢅ Use in a place exposed to high
temperatures or humidity, including near
radiators and other heat-generating
appliances.
• Unplug the unit when cleaning.
ꢅ Place on a window sill or other place
where the player will be exposed to direct
sunlight.
ꢅ Use in an excessively dusty or damp
environment.

ꢅ Place directly on top of an amplifier, or
other component in your stereo system
that becomes hot in use.
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.
ꢅ Use near a television or monitor as you
may experience interference—especially
if the television uses an indoor antenna.
ꢅ Use in a kitchen or other room where the
player may be exposed to smoke or steam.
Televisions, too, come in different aspect
ratios; ‘standard’ 4:3 and widescreen 16:9.
ꢅ Use on a thick rug or carpet, or cover with
cloth—this may prevent proper cooling of
the unit.
Widescreen TV users
If you have a widescreen TV, the TV Screen
setting (page 53) of this player should be set
to 16:9 (Wide).
ꢅ Place on an unstable surface, or one that
is not large enough to support all four of
the unit’s feet.
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.
Moving the player
If you need to move the player, first press
ꢂ STANDBY/ON on the front panel 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.
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.
Power cable caution
Handle the power cable by the plug part. Do
not pull out the plug by tugging the cable, and
never touch the power cable 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
cable or pinch the cable in any other way.
Never make a knot in the cable or tie it with
other cables. The 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 you an electric shock. Check the power
cable once in a while. If you find it damaged,
ask your nearest Pioneer authorized service
center or your dealer for a replacement.
Standard TV users
If you have a standard TV, the TV Screen
setting (page 53) 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.

DVD-Video discs are generally divided into
one or more titles. Titles may be further
subdivided into chapters.

CDs and Video CDs/Super VCDs are divided
into tracks.
• 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.

DTS
p
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.
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
Dynamic range
Aspect ratio
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.
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).
Digital audio
EXIF (Exchangeable Image File)
A file format developed by Fuji Photo Film for
digital still cameras. Digital cameras from
various manuafcturers use this compressed
file format which carries date, time and
thumbnail information, as well as the picture
data.
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.
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.

File extension
PBC (PlayBack Control) (Video CD/Super
VCD only)
A system of navigating a Video CD/Super VCD
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.
A tag added to the end of a filename to
indicate the type of file. For example, “.mp3”
indicates an MP3 file.
Interlaced video
A method of displaying a picture in which
odd-numbered lines are updated in one pass,
then even-numbered lines updated in the
next. See also Progressive scan video.
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.
ISO 9660 format
International standard for the volume and file
structure of CD-ROM discs.
JPEG
A file format used for still images, such as
photographs and illustrations. JPEG files are
identified by the file extension “.jpg” or “.JPG”.
Most digital cameras use this format.
Progressive scan video
Also called non-interlaced video, this method
of displaying a picture updates all the lines in
one pass, resulting in a more stable, flicker-
free image than interlaced video (for a given
scanning rate). See also Interlaced video. See
also page 53.
MP3
MP3 (MPEG1 audio layer 3) is a compressed
audio file format. Files are recognized by their
file extension “.mp3” or “.MP3”.
MPEG audio
Regions (DVD-Video only)
An audio format used on Video CD/Super
VCDs 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).
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).
MPEG video
The video format used for Video CD/Super
VCDs and DVDs. Video CD/Super VCD uses
the older MPEG-1 standard, while DVD uses
the newer and much better quality MPEG-2
standard.
S1 S-video output
This S-video signal format includes aspect
ratio information (4:3 or 16:9) within the video
signal. TVs which are compatible with S1 S-
video automatically switch aspect ratio
according to the signal. See also S-Video Out

S2 is an enhanced version of S-video which, in
addition to aspect ratio information, contains
letterbox / pan & scan information.
Widescreen TVs which are compatible with
S2 S-video automatically switch aspect ratio
according to the signal. See also S-Video Out
on page 54.
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.
Slidshow (DVD, Video CD/Super VCD)
A feature of some DVD discs and Video-CDs/
Super VCDs in which still pictures recorded
on the disc cycle automatically as the audio is
played. See also Browsable Picture.

Setting the TV System
Watching NTSC on a PAL TV
(Except Taiwanese model)
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 color.
The default setting of this player is AUTO, and
unless you notice that the picture is distorted
when playing some discs, you should leave it
set to AUTO. If you experience picture
distortion with some discs, set the TV system
to match your country or region’s system.
Doing this, however, may restrict the kinds of
disc you can watch. The table below shows
what kinds of disc are compatible with each
setting (AUTO, PAL and NTSC).
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. This is not a
malfunction; it is caused by the NTSC to PAL
conversion.
