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.

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.

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.

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.

525 line digital progressive-scan component video output

Compared to standard interlaced video, progressive scan effectively doubles the amount of video information fed to your TV or monitor. The result is a stable, flicker-free image. (Check your TV/monitor for compatibility with this feature.)

For the very highest picture quality, try watching a movie on DVD-Video on a progressive-scan compatible TV.

The DV-434 offers complete flexibility and compatibility with all types of AV equipment with composite video and

S-Video outputs, as well as component video outs.

Compatible with a wide range of

DVD digital audio output formats

1

DVDs are recorded in one of four types of digital audio formats (as of October 1998). The digital audio output jacks of this player output Dolby Digital*, DTS**, MPEG, and linear PCM digital bitstreams.

This player has a function that converts Dolby Digital and

MPEG audio formats into the linear PCM format. This allows playback of DVDs recorded in Dolby Digital and

MPEG without the need for a decoder.

Differences in Disc

Composition

DVD

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 disc. Menu screens do not belong to any title.

DVD player functions generally apply to titles on a disc or chapters within a selected title. The player functions available may also vary from title to title, depending on the disc. When discs have a unique title division, it should be noted that search and program functions may be affected.

Chapter 1

Title 1

Chapter 2 Chapter 1

Title 2

Chapter 2

DVD

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.

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.

How to Proceed in This

Manual

DVD is an incredible format that presents the highest quality digital audio and video available today. The amount of information that can be recorded onto a DVD disc is remarkable, allowing it to offer numerous functions and features available with no other format.

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.

Get familiar with the player.

Set up the necessary player menus.

Before you can begin to enjoy the benefits of the DVD format, you should 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

17 explains how to use the Setup screen menus as well as how to make the necessary initial adjustments. The

Setup screen menus are used in a number of functions.

Learning the procedure for operating the menus will make using this player much easier and more enjoyable.

Play a disc.

When all the connections and setups have been made, you are ready to play a DVD, Video CD, or CD with the player. The section “Getting Started Using Your DVD

Player” starting on page 20 outlines the basic player operations.

Enjoy the many features available.

Making

Connections

Connecting Your DVD Player

Unlike any other audiovisual media format, DVD offers a wide array of audio and video output options which allows playback to be enjoyed in any number of system configurations from a standard TV with stereo audio input to a home theater system with a TV or monitor and full surround sound capabilities.

Connection Guide

The illustration on this page shows the basic setup using the audio and video cords included with this player. Use this illustration as a guide to setting up your home system.

An explanation of each type of audio and video connection available can be found on pages 14 to 16. To determine the best audio and video connection setup for your system, refer to the manuals supplied with the components you are making connections to.

In addition to making physical connections to your TV or monitor, it is also necessary to assign the TV screen size.

You can use the [Setup Navigator] in the Setup screen

General menu to set whether you are using a wide screen or standard size TV or monitor (page 18).

Additionally, you can use the [TV Screen] setting in the

Setup screen Video menu (page 28).

Notes

• When making connections to this unit or when changing connections, check that the unit is off by pressing

STANDBY/ON and unplug the power cord from the power outlet.

• The analog video output on this player uses copy protect circuitry to prevent the video playback on DVDs from being copied. If you connect the player to a TV via a VCR, or record and play back the contents of a disc with a VCR, the playback picture may not be normal.

Setting Up the

Player

Using the Setup Navigator

The Setup Navigator has been designed to simplify the process of getting the DVD player ready to perform.

Designed as a series of on-screen multiple-choice questions, the Setup Navigator automatically sets the audio, video, and language settings according to how the questions are answered. Once this procedure is complete, it will be possible to begin using the DVD player to enjoy DVDs.

The procedure on this page describes the operations necessary to function within the Setup Navigator screens. A detailed description of the contents of each question that appears on the screen can be found on the following pages.

When setting up for the first time

Some DVDs start playing automatically when loaded in the player. Because the Setup Navigator cannot be used if a disc is playing, it is recommended to set up the player using the Setup Navigator before loading a DVD for the first time. If a DVD has been loaded, be sure to press STOP 7 before proceeding.

Note

If a setting applicable only to DVDs is changed while a Video

CD or CD is loaded, a blue DVD icon appears in the upper right hand corner of the screen to indicate that the setting is not applicable to the currently loaded disc. The setting will be effective the next time a DVD is loaded.

IMPORTANT

Changing to the Setup Screen

“Expert” Menu Mode

The Setup screen menus are divided into two levels,

[Basic] and [Expert], to make this unit more convenient to operate for different levels of users. The [Basic] menu mode contains functions that may be considered necessary for the basic operations of this player and helpful on-screen information identified by the i mark.

The [Expert] menu mode adds to the [Basic] menu mode additional functions of the player that can be adjusted to further personalize performance of the player.

In this manual, functions that are contained in the

[Expert]menu mode are identified by the Expert icon.

Make changes to the [Setup Menu Mode] setting in the

Setup screen General menu.

This player is capable of digital audio output for Dolby

Digital, DTS, MPEG, and signals with a sampling rate of

96 kHz. Make settings in the Setup screen Audio 1 menu to reflect the capabilities of the components that you have made digital connections to.

Notes

• If you have already completed the Setup Navigator screen operations, the settings on this page have already been set by the player.

• If you have made only stereo line connections (analog) using the supplied audio cord, it is not necessary to make any changes in this menu.

Dolby Digital Out

This player is capable of outputting the Dolby Digital surround sound audio signal. When the player is connected to an AV component that has a built-in Dolby

Digital decoder, select “Dolby Digital”. This player can also convert the Dolby Digital signal to a digital Linear

PCM signal, the same digital signal output from a CD.

Select “Dolby Digital 3 PCM” when you have made connections to an amplifier or receiver with a Dolby Pro

Logic decoder or a Digital Analog Converter (DAC).

Setting the TV Screen Size

The width-to-height ratio of conventional TVs is 4:3, while the width-to-height ratio of wide screen and high-definition TVs is 16:9. This width-to-height ratio is called the aspect ratio.

When viewing software recorded in different aspect ratios, the image’s height to width ratio can be switched to match the TV or monitor being used.

Make changes to the TV screen size in the [TV Screen] setting in the Setup screen Video menu. Please note that changes to the [TV Screen] setting cannot be made when a disc is playing. Stop playback of the disc before attempting to make any changes.

• If [Standard (4:3)] is selected in the Setup Navigator screen, [4:3 (Letter Box)] is selected on this screen. If you prefer the pan&scan format, change the settings on this screen.

• Whether the aspect can be switched or not depends on the disc. Please refer to the information written on the disc jacket, etc.

• Some discs may not include the screen format selected in the [TV Screen] setting. When this occurs, the standard TV screen format available on the disc is automatically selected.

Differences in screen sizes and DVD formats

The number of screen size formats currently available can be somewhat confusing. If set incorrectly, the video presentation may not appear as it should. The following diagrams and descriptions are intended to help you set your TV screen size in a way that will allow you to fully enjoy the digital video of DVD.

The settings in the [TV Screen] setting are perhaps most applicable when the DVD you are watching is programmed in the wide screen format. If you have a standard TV, select either [4:3 (Letter Box)] or [4:3 (Pan

& Scan)] based on your personal preference. If you have a wide screen TV, select [16:9 (Wide)].

Compared to a standard interlaced TV picture, a progressive scan TV is capable of stable, flicker-free images.

“PROGRESSIVE” indicator lights in the display.

Tip:

If this player is set to output progressive-scan video, it’s possible that the picture will appear stretched when playing discs recorded in 4:3 format. This happens when the TV’s aspect ratio is set at 16:9. To see the picture in its correct aspect ratio, change the TV setting to 4:3.

If your TV can be switched between 4:3 and 16:9, set this player to [Interlace] or [Auto progressive]. In Auto progressive mode, 4:3 discs will be played in Interlace mode, while discs that are recorded in both 4:3 and 16:9 will play in interlace mode during the 4:3 sections, and in progressive mode during the 16:9 parts. Switch your TV’s aspect ratio to the most suitable setting (for more details, see the manual that came with your TV). When set to [Auto progressive], you may see picture disturbance when this player (and the TV) switches between progressive and interlace modes. This is not a malfunction of either this player or the TV. Picture disturbance should only occur when switching from a menu screen to the main feature, for example.

Note

If you connect a TV that is not compatible with a progressive scan signal and choose one of the progressive scan settings, you will not be able to see any picture at all. If you accidently do this, set the VIDEO OUT SELECT switch on the rear panel to COMPOSITE & S-VIDEO. With your TV connected using either the composite or S-Video terminals, choose the [Interlace] setting in the [Component Video] menu, then set the rear panel switch back to COMPONENT.

Additional

Information

Disc Care

How to hold discs

When loading or removing discs, try not to touch their playing surfaces.

Cleaning

Fingerprints or other dirt on the disc may affect sound and picture quality.

To clean your discs, use a soft clean cloth to wipe them.

If necessary, moisten a soft cloth with diluted neutral detergent to remove heavy dirt or fingerprints.

Do not wipe in a circular direction (Concentric scratches in the disc groove tend to cause noise.)

Gently wipe from the inside toward the outer edge.

Discs must not be cleaned with record cleaning sprays, or static prevention sprays, etc. Also do not use volatile liquids such as benzine, or thinner, etc.

Never play cracked or warped discs

The disc revolves in the player at high speed when it is played. Never play a cracked, scratched or warped disc. This may damage the player or cause it to malfunction.

Never use discs with special shapes

CD’s with special shapes (heartshaped CDs, octagonal CDs, etc.) cannot be played on this set.

Attempting to do so may damage the set. Do not use such CDs.

After using discs, store them upright

After playing a disc, always remove it from the player and return it to its jacket. Then store it standing upright away from heat and humidity.

• Store discs carefully. If you store discs at an angle, or stacked on top of each other, discs may become warped even when in their jackets.

• Do not leave discs in locations such as the seat of a car, which may become excessively hot.

50

CAUTION WHEN USING THE DISC

All rights reserved.

Unauthorized public performance, broadcasting or copying is a violation of applicable laws.

For Proper and Long Use of

This Unit

Do not move 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.

When moving 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. Then, press STANDBY/ON and switch the power to standby. Check that the “–OFF–” indication on the

display goes off, then disconnect the power cord.

Moving this unit with the disc loaded may result in damage to this unit.

Installation

• 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.

Avoid installing in a place that is:

• 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.

Avoid heat

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.

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.

Lens cleaner

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.

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. In such cases, change the location of the player.

Switch POWER to STANDBY when not using the unit

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 standby.

Power-cord caution

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.

Notes on using optical cables

• Do not route cords around sharp angles. When storing, wind the cords so that they have a diameter of at least

15 cm (6 in.).

• 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.

15 cm (6 in.) dia.

or more

Cleaning the player

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.

Caution

Static electricity or other external influence may cause malfunctioning of this unit. In this case, unplugging the power cord and then re-plugging it in will usually reset the unit for proper operation. If this does not correct the problem, please consult your nearest

PIONEER service center.

Terms

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.

Chapter number

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.

Component (color difference) video output

The color signal of the TV is divided into the luminance

(Y) signal and the color (P

B

and P

R

) signals and then output. In this way mutual interference of each signal is avoided. On a TV with component input jacks, these signals are synthesized to produce the picture.

Condition memory

“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.

Digital bitstream

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.

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.

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.

Dolby Digital

The maximum 5.1 channels of audio used in the surround system (Surround Digital) for movie theaters is digital data compressed by the third generation algorithm encoder.

1

In order to enjoy Dolby Digital discs, this unit’s digital output jack (either coaxial or optical) must be connected to the digital input jack of an AV amplifier or Dolby Digital decoder to enjoy the sound of Dolby Digital soundtracks.

DTS

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, as well as CDs. In order to enjoy the benefits of DTS encoded discs, the digital output jack (either coaxial or optical) of this player needs to be connected to an AV amplifier or receiver or to a DTS decoder to be able to enjoy the surround sound of DTS audio. DTS audio is not output from the analog audio outputs.

Dynamic 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.

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.

MPEG

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

When you watch a TV program, you are watching the image filmed through the TV camera. Because of this, 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.

55

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.

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.

You can also enjoy viewing high-resolution/standard resolution still images.

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.

Regional restriction codes (region number)

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.

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.

Time number

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 number

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.

Sampling Frequency

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.
