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 whichever is convenient.
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).
1 Connect one of DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jacks on this player to a digital input on your AV receiver.

jack to an optical input on your AV receiver.
For a coaxial connection, use a coaxial cable
(similar to the supplied video cable) to connect the
COAXIAL DIGITAL AUDIO OUT
jack to a coaxial input on your AV receiver.
• 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.

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.

Load a disc with the label side facing up, using the disc tray guide to align the disc (if you’re loading a double-sided DVD disc, load it with the side you want to play face down).
• Throughout this manual, the term ‘DVD’ means DVD-Video, and DVD-R/RW. If a function is specific to a particular kind of
DVD disc, it is specified.

• After I load a DVD disc, it ejects automatically after a few seconds!
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
.
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 preferences 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.
• My AV receiver is definitely compatible with
96kHz Linear PCM audio, but it doesn’t seem to work with this player. What’s wrong?
For digital copy-protection purposes, some 96kHz DVD discs only output digital audio downsampled to 48kHz. This is not a malfunction.
To fully take advantage of the high sampling rate audio, connect the analog audio outputs to your amplifier/receiver.

• Move the mic away from the speakers.
• Turn
VOLUME
counterclockwise to lower the volume level.
• Turn
ECHO

Introduction
Most of the features described in this chapter make use of on-screen displays. For an explanation of how to navigate these, see
Using the on-screen displays
on
page 22
.
Many of the functions covered in this chapter apply to DVD and Video CDs/Super VCDs,
CDs and MP3/JPEG discs, although the exact operation of some varies slightly with the kind of disc loaded.
Some DVD discs restrict the use of some functions (random or repeat, for example).
This is not a malfunction.
When playing Video CDs/Super VCDs, some of the functions are not available during PBC playback. If you want to use them, start the disc playing using a number button to select a track.

Audio DRC
• Default setting:
Off
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.
How much of a difference you hear depends on the material you’re listening to. If the material doesn’t have wide variations in volume, you may not notice much change.

Additional information
Taking care of your player and discs
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.
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.
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, thinner or other cleaning agents, including products designed for cleaning vinyl records.
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).
Don't glue paper or put stickers onto the disc, or use a pencil, ball-point pen or other sharptipped writing instrument. These could all damage the disc.
Wipe lightly from the center of the disc using straight strokes.
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.
Don’t wipe the disc surface using circular strokes.

Discs to avoid
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
• 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.
• If you use a chemical-impregnated cleaning cloth, read the instructions carefully before use.
• Unplug the unit when cleaning.

Place directly on top of an amplifier, or other component in your stereo 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 in a kitchen or other 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 feet.
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
-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.
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
If you have a widescreen TV, the
TV Screen
setting (
page 53
) of this player should be set to
16:9 (Wide)
.
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.
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.

Additional information
Set to
4:3 (Pan&Scan)
, widescreen discs are shown with the left and right sides cropped.
Although the picture looks larger, you don’t actually see the whole picture.
Titles, chapters, groups and tracks
DVD-Video discs are generally divided into one or more titles. Titles may be further subdivided into chapters.
Please note that many widescreen discs override the player’s settings so that the disc is shown in letter box format regardless of the setting.
Title 1 Title 2 Title 3
Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 1 Chapter 1 Chapter 2
CDs and Video CDs/Super VCDs are divided into tracks.
• Using the

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 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.
DTS
p
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 dynamic range, delivering dramatic cinema-like effects.
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.

File extension
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.
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.
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.
MP3
MP3 (MPEG1 audio layer 3) is a compressed audio file format. Files are recognized by their file extension “.mp3” or “.MP3”.
MPEG audio
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)
.
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.
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
.
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, flickerfree image than interlaced video (for a given scanning rate). See also Interlaced video. See also
page 53
.
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).
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 Svideo automatically switch aspect ratio according to the signal. See also

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

Setting the TV System
(Except Taiwanese model)
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
).
1 If the player is on, press
ON to switch it to standby.
STANDBY/
2 Using the front panel controls, hold down then press STANDBY/ON to switch the TV system.
The TV system changes as follows:
AUTO
NTSC
PAL
NTSC
PAL
AUTO
The player’s display shows the new setting.
Watching NTSC on a PAL TV
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.
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.
• You have to switch the player into standby
(press
STANDBY/ON
) before each change.

Remedy
• Check that
96kHz PCM Out
is set to
96kHz
(
page 52
).
• Some discs are digital copy protected and do not output high sampling rate digital audio. In this case the output is automatically downsampled.
• If this unit is connected to a non-DTS compatible amplifier or decoder using analog audio cable, set
DTS Out
to
Off
(
page 52
). If you do not do this, noise will be output when you play a DTS disc.
• If this unit is connected to a DTS-compatible amplifier or decoder using a digital audio cable, check the amplifier settings, and that the cable is properly connected.
• This player is compatible with multi-session discs, but only plays sessions that are closed.
• If the message
Can’t play this format
is displayed (
NO PLAY
in the front panel display) when you try to play a disc/track, check the audio file formats. For more information see
page 8
.
•If the audio is switched to
[2]
when playing a Super VCD that contains only one stereo soundtrack, there may be no sound at all.
Press
AUDIO
to change the soundtrack.
• TruSurround does not work with 96kHz linear PCM DVD.
• The TruSurround effect is only output through the
AUDIO OUT
analog audio outputs.
• The effectiveness of TruSurround varies with the disc.
• Static electricity or other external influences may cause malfunctioning of this unit. In this case, unplug the power cord and then plug back in. This will usually reset the unit for proper operation.
If this does not correct the problem, please consult your nearest Pioneer service center.
