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 DVD. Menu screens do not

belong to any title.

Get fam iliar w ith the player.

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 “Nam es and Functions” section

starting on page 9 to get familiar with the parts and

buttons on the main unit and remote control as they will

be referred to throughout this manual.

DVD player functions generally apply to titles on a DVD

or chapters within a selected title. The player functions

available may also vary from title to title, depending on

the DVD. When discs have a unique title division, it

should be noted that search and program functions may

be affected.

m enus.

Video CD/ CD

Video CDs and CDs are divided into units referred to as

tracks (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. Video CDs with PBC (Playback Control) also

contain menus recorded on the disc which enable easy

access to the contents of the disc.

Before you can begin to enjoy the benefits of the DVD

format, it is first necessary to 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 21 explains how to use the Setup Navigator, a

function that automatically sets up the player

When played back on a DVD player, both Video CDs and

CDs are considered to be a single title, regardless of the

number of tracks.

corresponding to the answers given in a multiple-choice

on-screen procedure. The Setup screen menus,

used in a number of other functions. Learning the

procedure for operating these menus will make using

this player much easier and more enjoyable.

5.1 CHANNEL AUDIO OUT

Analog Audio Connection:

5.1 channel audio refers to the current industry surround

sound standard requiring two front speakers, a center

speaker, two surround (rear) speakers and a sub woofer.

Although in actuality there are 6 channels, because the

sub woofer channel, or LFE channel, makes up a mere

fraction of the total audio soundtrack, it has been

designated as the 0.1 of the 5.1 system.

After making physical connections to either the AUDIO

OUT (2 CH) or AUDIO OUT (5.1 CH) analog jacks, be

sure to identify which output you are going to be using

in the [Analog J acks] screen of the Setup Navigator

(page 23). You can also manually set the output in the

[Audio Out] setting of the Setup screen Audio 2 menu

(page 32).

By utilizing the player’s internal multichannel audio

decoder, the audio of Dolby Digital and DTS DVDs can

be output from the 5.1 channel discrete outputs to an AV

amplifier or receiver with 5.1 channel input capability.

Notes

• When [5.1 Channel] is selected, the front right (R) and left

(L) audio channels are output from the AUDIO OUT (2 CH)

jacks.

• Use audio cables to make connections from the

player’s AUDIO OUT (5.1 CH) jacks to the equivalent

input jacks on the AV amplifier or receiver.

• The [Audio Out] setting creates an audio output default for

the player. If connections are made to both AUDIO OUT (2

CH) and AUDIO OUT (5.1 CH) analog jacks to make

different audio connections for multichannel and stereo

audio sources, it is possible to switch between 2 channel

and 5.1 channel audio output by pressing 5.1 CH MODE on

the front panel. However, this button does not work when

the “GUI” indicator is lit.

• When making 5.1 channel analog audio connections,

be sure to match the left and right channels on both

components, and also make sure that the jacks of all

the channels are connected correctly on both

components.

• Either 2 single audio cords or a stereo cord may be

used to connect the CENTER and SUB WOOFER

channels to the AV amplifier or receiver.

2 CHANNEL AUDIO OUT

•

Make analog audio connections to a stereo amplifier

or receiver.

• When making this kind of connection, be sure to

select [5.1 Channel] in the Setup Navigator [Analog

J acks] screen (page 23).

Analog audio connections can also be made to a TV or

monitor with stereo input jacks.

Use the supplied audio cable to connect one of the

AUDIO OUT (2 CH) jacks on the player to the audio

input on the stereo amplifier or receiver.

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.

Do not m ove 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.

Condensation

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.

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.

Condensation may also

form during the

summer if the player is

exposed to the breeze

from an air conditioner.

When m oving the unit

When changing places of installation or packing the unit

for moving, be sure to remove the disc and return the

disc table to its original position in the player. Turn off the

player and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet in

a manner appropriate for your player model as follows.

Press on the remote control to switch the power to

standby checking that the “–OFF–” indication in the

display goes off. Press POWER on the front panel to

turn the player off, and then disconnect the power cord.

(Taiwanese m odel: Press STANDBY/ ON to switch

the power to standby. Check that the “–OFF–”

indication in the display goes off, then disconnect the

power cord. )

Moving this unit with the disc loaded may result in

damage to this unit.

In such cases, change

the location of the player.

Sw itch POWER OFF (or STANDBY) w hen not

using the unit

Installation

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

off (standby).

• Select a stable place to the side of a TV set or stereo

system to be connected to the unit.

• When using the unit with a stereo system, install the

speakers a little bit away from the TV.

• 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.

Pow er-cord caution

Avoid installing in a place that is:

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.

• 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)

Do not block vents

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.

Cleaning the player

Avoid heat

To clean the PLAYER, wipe with a soft, dry cloth. For

stubborn dirt, wet a soft cloth with a mild detergent

solution made by diluting one part detergent to 5 or 6

parts water, wring well, then wipe off the dirt. Also use a

dry cloth to wipe the surface dry. Do not use volatile

liquids such as benzene and thinner which are harmful to

the unit.

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.

Notes on using fiber-optic cables

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.

• Do not route cords around sharp

angles. When storing, wind the cords

so that they have a diameter of at least

15 cm dia.

or m ore

15 cm.

• When connecting, push all the way

into the terminal.

• Do not use cords with a length of over

3 m.

• If moisture or dust has collected on the plug, wipe it

with a soft cloth before connecting.

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.

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.

Dynam ic range

Dynamic range refers to the difference between the

maximum and minimum levels of the audio soundtrack

as measured in decibels (dB).

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.

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.

Condition m em ory

MPEG

“Condition” refers to the various mode settings, etc. On

this player, various conditions, such as those set during

playback, can be memorized. This function allows you to

play back the same disc at any time without having to

redo your preferred settings.

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.

Multi-angle

Digital bitstream

When you watch a TV program, you are watching the

image filmed through the TV camera. Because of this,

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Playback Control (PBC)

This refers to signals recorded on 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.

Dolby Digital

Dolby Digital offers a maximum of 5.1 independent

audio channels. This system is the same as that used in

move theaters.

You can also enjoy viewing high-resolution/standard

resolution still images.

This unit has a built-in Dolby Digital decoder. To enjoy

Dolby Digital sound, connect this unit to an AV amplifier

with 5.1 channel analog inputs.

Regional restriction codes (region num ber)

Tim e 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.

The time number corresponds to the elapsed playback

time of a disc from its beginning. When using the time

search function, use the time number to locate scenes

that occur at the time selected.

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.

TruSurround

TruSurround is a simulated surround system which

produces a surround sound effect from stereo speakers.

Virtual Dolby Digital

Sam pling Frequency

Virtual Dolby Digital uses Dolby Digital multichannel

audio sources to create a realistic surround sound effect

from stereo speakers.

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.

Subtitle

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.

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.

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.
