"dangerous voltage" within the product's
enclosure that may be of sufficient
magnitude to constitute a risk of electric
shock to persons.
CAUTION:
TO PREVENT THE RISK OF ELECTRIC
SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR
BACK). NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS
INSIDE. REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED
SERVICE PERSONNEL.

adhered to.
FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS — All operating and use
instructions should be followed.
CLEANING — The product should be cleaned only
with a polishing cloth or a soft dry cloth. Never
clean with furniture wax, benzine, insecticides
or other volatile liquids since they may corrode
the cabinet.
ATTACHMENTS — Do not use attachments not
recommended by the product manufacturer as
they may cause hazards.
WATER AND MOISTURE — Do not use this
product near water — for example, near a
bathtub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry
tub; in a wet basement; or near a swimming
pool; and the like.
ACCESSORIES — Do not place this product on an
unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table.
The product may fall, causing serious injury to a
child or adult, and serious damage to the
product. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod,
bracket, or table recommended by the
manufacturer, or sold with the product. Any
mounting of the product should follow the
manufacturer’s instructions, and should use a
mounting accessory recommended by the
manufacturer.
CART — A product and cart combination should be
moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force,
and uneven surfaces may cause the product
and cart combination to overturn.
GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION
• If this product is equipped with a polarized
alternating current line plug (a plug having one
blade wider than the other), it will fit into the
outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If
you are unable to insert the plug fully into the
outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should
still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace
your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety
purpose of the polarized plug.
• If this product is equipped with a three-wire
grounding type plug, a plug having a third
(grounding) pin, it will only fit into a grounding
type power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you
are unable to insert the plug into the outlet,
contact your electrician to replace your obsolete
outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the
grounding type plug.
POWER-CORD PROTECTION — Power-supply
cords should be routed so that they are not likely
to be walked on or pinched by items placed
upon or against them, paying particular
attention to cords at plugs, convenience
receptacles, and the point where they exit from
the product.
OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING — If an
outside antenna or cable system is connected to
the product, be sure the antenna or cable
system is grounded so as to provide some
protection against voltage surges and built-up
static charges. Article 810 of the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides
information with regard to proper grounding of
the mast and supporting structure, grounding of
the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit,
size of grounding conductors, location of
antenna-discharge unit, connection to
grounding electrodes, and requirements for the
grounding electrode. See Figure A.
LIGHTNING — For added protection for this
product during a lightning storm, or when it is
left unattended and unused for long periods of
time, unplug it from the wall outlet and
disconnect the antenna or cable system. This
will prevent damage to the product due to
lightning and power-line surges.
POWER LINES — An outside antenna system
should not be located in the vicinity of overhead
power lines or other electric light or power
circuits, or where it can fall into such power
lines or circuits. When installing an outside
antenna system, extreme care should be taken
to keep from touching such power lines or
circuits as contact with them might be fatal.
OVERLOADING — Do not overload wall outlets,
extension cords, or integral convenience
receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or
electric shock.
VENTILATION — Slots and openings in the cabinet
are provided for ventilation and to ensure
reliable operation of the product and to protect
it from overheating, and these openings must
not be blocked or covered. The openings should
never be blocked by placing the product on a
bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This
product should not be placed in a built-in
installation such as a bookcase or rack unless
proper ventilation is provided or the
manufacturer’s instructions have been adhered
to.
POWER SOURCES — This product should be
operated only from the type of power source
indicated on the marking label. If you are not
sure of the type of power supply to your home,
consult your product dealer or local power
company.
LOCATION – The appliance should be installed in a
stable location.
NONUSE PERIODS – The power cord of the
appliance should be unplugged from the outlet
when left un-used for a long period of time.
The exclamation point within an equilateral
triangle is intended to alert the user to the
presence of important operating and
maintenance (servicing) instructions in the
literature accompanying the appliance.
D1-4-2-3-A_En
OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY — Never push
objects of any kind into this product through
openings as they may touch dangerous voltage
points or short-out parts that could result in a
fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any
kind on the product.
SERVICING — Do not attempt to service this
product yourself as opening or removing covers
may expose you to dangerous voltage or other
hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service
personnel.
DAMAGE REQUIRING SERVICE — Unplug this
product from the wall outlet and refer servicing
to qualified service personnel under the
following conditions:
• When the power-supply cord or plug is
damaged.
• If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen
into the product.
• If the product has been exposed to rain or water.
• If the product does not operate normally by
following the operating instructions. Adjust only
those controls that are covered by the operating
instructions as an improper adjustment of other
controls may result in damage and will often
require extensive work by a qualified technician
to restore the product to its normal operation.
• If the product has been dropped or damaged in
any way.
• When the product exhibits a distinct change in
performance — this indicates a need for service.
REPLACEMENT PARTS — When replacement parts
are required, be sure the service technician has
used replacement parts specified by the
manufacturer or have the same characteristics
as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions
may result in fire, electric shock, or other
hazards.
SAFETY CHECK — Upon completion of any service
or repairs to this product, ask the service
technician to perform safety checks to
determine that the product is in proper
operating condition.

We Want You Listening For A Lifetime
Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit
you’ve just purchased is only the start of your
musical enjoyment. Now it’s time to consider how
you can maximize the fun and excitement your
equipment offers. This manufacturer and the
Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer
Electronics Group want you to get the most out of
your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that
lets the sound come through loud and clear without
annoying blaring or distortion-and, most importantly,
without affecting your sensitive hearing.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing
“comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of sound.
So what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and
harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by
setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your
hearing adapts.
To establish a safe level:
• Start your volume control at a low setting.
• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it
comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.
Once you have established a comfortable sound
level:
• Set the dial and leave it there.
Used wisely, your new sound equipment will
provide a lifetime of fun and enjoyment. Since
hearing damage from loud noise is often
undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer
and the Electronic Industries Association’s
Consumer Electronics Group recommend you avoid
prolonged exposure to excessive noise. This list of
sound levels is included for your protection.
Decibel
Level Example
30

Quiet library, soft whispers
Living room, refrigerator, bedroom away from traffic
Light traffic, normal conversation, quiet office
Air conditioner at 20 feet, sewing machine
Vacuum cleaner, hair dryer, noisy restaurant
Average city traffic, garbage disposals, alarm clock

THE FOLLOWING NOISES CAN BE DANGEROUS
UNDER CONSTANT EXPOSURE
90 Subway, motorcycle, truck traffic, lawn mower
100 Garbage truck, chain saw, pneumatic drill
120 Rock band concert in front of speakers,
thunderclap
140 Gunshot blast, jet plane
180 Rocket launching pad
Information courtesy of the Deafness Research Foundation.
Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent
hearing damage or loss in the future. After all, we
want you listening for a lifetime.

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.
Connecting using the

You can use the component video output instead
of the standard video out jack to connect this
player to your TV (or other equipment). This
should give you the best quality picture from the
three types of video output available.

Connecting to an AV
receiver

To enjoy multichannel surround sound you need
to connect this player to an AV receiver using a
digital output. This player has coaxial digital jack.
In addition to a digital connection, we recommend also connecting using the stereo analog
connection.
You’ll probably also want to connect a video
output to your AV receiver. You can use any of the
video outputs available on this player (the
illustration shows a standard (composite)
connection).

Connect the analog AUDIO OUT L/R and
VIDEO OUT jacks on this player to a set
of analog audio and video inputs on
your AV receiver.

This enables you to listen to multichannel
surround sound.
For a coaxial connection, use a coaxial
cable (similar to the supplied video cable) to
connect the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack to a
coaxial input on your AV receiver.
Connect the AV receiver’s video output
to a video input on your TV.
• You usually have to connect the same kind
of video cable between your DVD player and
AV receiver, and between your AV receiver
and TV.
• 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.

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 OUT. Use the PROGRESSIVE button on the front panel to switch the
COMPONENT VIDEO OUT between Interlace
and Progressive. With a DVD-Video disc you can
do this during playback, or when the disc is
stopped. For other types of disc, the player must
be stopped.
If you connect a TV that is not compatible
with a progressive scan signal and switch
the player to Progressive, you will not be
able to see any picture at all. In this case,
press the PROGRESSIVE button on the front
panel to switch back to Interlace (the
PROGRESSIVE indicator should be unlit).

Taking care of your
player and discs
Handling discs
When holding discs of any type, take care not to
leave fingerprints, smears or scratches on the
disc surface. Hold the disc by an edge or
pinched between the center hole and an 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 corrupted or unusable.
Should a disc become marked with fingerprints,
dust, etc., clean using a soft, dry cloth, wiping
the disc lightly from the center to an outside
edge as shown in the diagram below.
Storing discs
Although CDs and DVD discs are more durable
than vinyl records, you should still handle and
store discs carefully. When not in use, return the
disc to its jewele case or jacket and store
vertically. Avoid leaving discs in excessively cold,
humid, or hot environments (including in direct
sunlight).
Do NOT place paper stickers onto the disc.
When writing on a disc, do NOT mark with a
pencil, ball-point pen, or other sharp-tipped
writing instrument that may damage a disc.
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 speeds inside the player. Discs
that are cracked, chipped or warped can damage
or possibly destroy the player’s optics.
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
or any other cleaning agents, including products
designed for cleaning vinyl records.
This player is designed for use with conventional,
circular discs only. Shaped discs such as
business card sized are not recommended for
this product. Pioneer disclaims all liability arising
in connection with the use of shaped discs.

Additional information
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. Wrung out the cloth well before
wiping then use a dry cloth to wipe again.
• Do not use furniture wax or cleaners. Never
use thinners, benzine or insecticide sprays
or other chemicals on or near this unit since
these chemicals can corrode the surfaces.
• If you use a chemically-treated cleaning
cloth, read the instructions carefully before
use. These cloths may leave smear marks
on half-mirror finish surfaces; if this
happens, finish with a dry cloth.
• Unplug the unit when cleaning.
Cleaning the pickup lens
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 allow it to adjust to the
warmer/cooler temperature for approximately an
hour before switching on the unit.
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...
• Use in a well-ventilated room.
• Place on a solid, flat, level surface, such as
a table, shelf or stereo rack.
64
Don’t...
• Place where exposed to high temperatures
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.
• Use in an excessively dusty or damp
environment.
• Place directly on top of an amplifier, or other
component in your playback 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 close to a room where the player may
be exposed to smoke or steam.
• 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 supports.
Moving the player
If you need to move the player, first press
STANDBY/ON on the front panel to turn the
player off. Wait for POWER indicator to turn
orange, then unplug the power cable. Never lift
or move the unit when a disc is playing or is still
spinning as this shift may cause damage.
Power cable caution
Handle the power cable by the plug part. Do not
pull out the plug by tugging the cable. Never
touch the power cable when your hands are wet
as this could cause a short circuit or electrical
shock. Do not place anything on the power cord
that could pinch or damage the cable in any
other way. Never make a knot in the cable or tie it
in a bundle with other cables. 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 an electric shock. Inspect the cord
periodically for damage or wear. If it needs to be
replaced, ask your nearest Pioneer authorized
service center or your dealer for a replacement.
Additional information
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.
Televisions, too, come in different aspect ratios;
“standard” 4:3 and widescreen 16:9.
Widescreen TV users
For Widescreen TVs, set the player’s TV Screen
option (page 21) to the widescreen aspect ratio
16:9 (Wide).
When watching discs with the standard 4:3, use
the TV controls to select how the picture
appears. Your TV may offer various zoom and
stretch options; see the operating instructions
provided with your TV or monitoring system.
Please note that some movie aspect ratios are
wider than 16:9. Thus, although the picture is
shown in widescreen, these video clips play in a
“letter box” style with black bars at the top and
bottom of the screen.
11
Please note that many widescreen productions
override the player’s settings so that the disc is
shown in the author’s chosen aspect ratio,
regardless of the setting.
Using the 16:9 (Wide) setting with a
standard 4:3 TV/monitor, or either of the 4:3
settings with a widescreen TV, results in a
distorted picture.
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.
Standard TV users
If you have a standard TV, the TV Screen setting
(page 21) of this player should be set to 4:3
(Letter Box) or 4:3 (Pan&Scan), depending on
you preferences.
4:3 (Letter Box), widescreen discs are shown
with black bars above and below the picture.
4:3 (Pan&Scan), widescreen discs are shown
with the left and right sides cropped. While the
picture appears larger, the visible area is
actually reduced.

DVD-Video Regions
DVD-Video region marks designate compatible
playback area(s) for each DVD-Video disc. DVD
players also have a region mark, usually found
on the rear panel. Discs and players with
different regions are incompatible.
Discs marked ALL are compatible with this
player model.
The diagram below shows the various DVD
regions of the world.

Computer Control Functions
Serial Control
The player and computer are based upon the
RS-232C protocol and connect through the TxD,
RxD, DTR and GND terminals.
Extend Terminal
Control the player with the Extend Terminal
(SW#).
External Power Control
Control the player’s power with the Power Pin
within the Interface Connector.
If the player detects a high signal throughput (100
msec or more) during the Standby mode, the
player powers ON. If the player detects the same
signal during the Power ON mode, the player
powers OFF and switches to the Standby mode.
The specifications for the Power pin are as
follows:
Maximum Input Voltage
High Level Signal
Low level Signal
Less Than 12 V
More Than 4.5 V
Less Than 0.5 V
Standby mode
more Than
100 msec

Power ON mode
more Than
100 msec
Power OFF
Communication with a Computer
The DVD-V5000 communicates to the computer
through the RS-232C port using pins 2 and 3 for
communication and Pin 1 on the 15-pin D-sub
connector or Pin 5 on the 9-pin D-sub connector
for grounding. Control or “handshaking” lines
other than the TxD and RxD connections are not
required. Please refer to the diagram below for
clarification.

Some computers require the CTS port to be set
to HIGH during communication. It is best to
connect the CTS and DSR port on the computer
to the DTR port on the player. During normal
operation the player’s DTR is set to HIGH thus
the unit is able to receive a command at any
time.
Command and Status
During normal operation when a computer
transmits commands to a DVD-V5000, the player
responds with the status message, “execution
complete”.
Example
COMPUTER
(1) “Search to Frame 1000” (2) Search Execution
(3) Complete
The signal interface is a standard RS-232C
connection.
Data Type
Data Length: 8 bit
Stop Bit:
1 bit
Parity bit:
No Parity
(4) “Play to Frame 2000”
Data Transfer Speed (Baud Rate)
The data transfer speed may be set to
either 19200 or 9600 bps through the
ADV. SETUP menu (see page 42).
The factory default is 19200 bps.
72
DVD-V5000
Serial Control
Example
10SE 20PL<CR> :
(5) Play Execution
(6) Complete
Search to Chapter 10
then play to 20
The command string enters the buffer with the
first character and continues sequentially from
left to right. When <CR> is entered, the
commands are executed sequentially beginning
with the first command in the buffer. In the
example above, the first command is 10SE.
Additional information
11
When all the commands in a string have finished executing, the player transmits or returns the
“complete” message that is represented by a capital letter R.
If an error occurs, the player returns an error message such as E04. The message indicates an error
has occurred as well as the type of error. Error messages are in the form of EXX where XX represents a
2-digit error code.
Error Messages
If an error occurs during a command execution, the player returns an error code. The table below lists
each code with a description of the error:

MPEG audio
Glossary
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.
Aspect ratio
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
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 digitalto-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.
DTS
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
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
range, delivering dramatic cinema-like effects.
76
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
(Pulse Code Modulation).
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.
PBC (PlayBack Control) (Video CD only)
A system of navigating a Video CD through onscreen 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.
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.
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 frequency of 44.1kHz,
which means 44,100 samples (measurements)
per second. See also Digital audio.
Additional information

menu screen is set to [96 kHz], it is
automatically changed to 48 kHz and output
(page 20).
Clean the disc (page 63).
If it has been set to the pause or slow
playback mode, change to the playback
mode (page 32).
If the volume of the television or AV
amplifier, etc., has been set to “minimum,”
