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.

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.

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.

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.

Decibel

Level Example

30 Quiet library, soft whispers

Living room, refrigerator, bedroom away from traffic

50 Light traffic, normal conversation, quiet office

60 Air conditioner at 20 feet, sewing machine

70 Vacuum cleaner, hair dryer, noisy restaurant

Average city traffic, garbage disposals, alarm clock

at two feet.

THE FOLLOWING NOISES CAN BE DANGEROUS

UNDER CONSTANT EXPOSURE

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.

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 such 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.

Connecting to an AV receiver

You can connect this player to your AV receiver

using the multichannel analog outputs or one

of the digital outputs.

In addition to these connections, you should

also connect the 2 channel analog outputs for

compatibility with all discs.

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 the analog AUDIO OUT

(5.1ch)/AUDIO OUT L/R and VIDEO OUT

jacks on this player to a set of analog audio

and video inputs on your AV receiver.

2 Connect the AV receiver’s video output

to a video input on your TV.

You can also use the S-video or component

video jacks to connect to the AV receiver if you

prefer.

Tip

• 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 using HDMI

If you have a HDMI equipped monitor or

display, you can connect it to this player using

a commercially available HDMI cable.

The HDMI connector outputs uncompressed

digital video, as well as almost every kind of

digital audio that the player is compatible with,

including DVD-Video, DVD-Audio (see below

for limitations), SACD, Video CD, CD, WMA,

MP3, MPEG-4 AAC, DivX video and WMV.

• Use an HDMI cable to connect the

HDMI OUT interconnect on this player to

an HDMI interconnect on a HDMI-

compatible display.

The arrow on the cable connector body should

be face up for correct alignment with the

connector on the player.

Note

• This unit has been designed to be

compliant with HDMI (High-Definition

Multimedia Interface). Depending on the

component you have connected, using a

DVI connection may result in unreliable

signal transfers.

• When you change the component

connected to the HDMI output, you will

also need to change the HDMI settings to

match the new component (see

on page 39, and

on page 40 to do this). However, the

settings for each component are then

stored in memory (for up to 2

components).

• The HDMI connection is compatible with 2

channel linear PCM signals (44.1 kHz to

192 kHz, 16 bit/20 bit/24 bit), and Dolby

Digital, DTS, MPEG audio bitstream, multi

channel DSD, and multi channel linear

PCM signals, (5.1 channel signals up to 96

kHz, 16 bit/20 bit/24 bit).

About the HDMI audio output settings

The table below shows how the audio settings you make in the HDMI Out (see on

page 39) and Audio Output Mode screens ( on page 45) affect the HDMI

output with various types of disc.

*1These formats include DVD-RW discs.

*2If the connected component is not DVD-Audio (CPPM) compatible, it is not possible to output

CPPM copy-controlled DVD-Audio sources from the HDMI connection (see

on page 48 for more on this).

*3If the discs prohibit downmixing, output Front L/R.

*4If the HDMI device you are using is not compatible with Multi-ch formats, the output signal is

the same as LPCM (2CH) setting.

*5If the HDMI device you are using is not compatible with these compressed formats, the signal

is output as linear PCM.

*6If the connected HDMI device is not compatible with protected audio contents (such as

DVD-Audio or SACD), SACD audio is not output from the HDMI terminal.

*7 Analog SACD audio is not output when you have set to Auto (DSD).

Additional information

Taking care of your player and

discs

General

Hold discs by the edge or by the center hole

and edge.

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 on to discs. Do

not use a pencil, ball-point pen or other sharp-

tipped writing instrument to write on the disc.

Don’t use self-adhesive disc labels on discs as

these can cause the disc to warp slightly

during playback causing distortion in the

picture and/or sound.

Damaged and shaped discs

Do not use cracked, chipped, warped, or

otherwise damaged discs as they may damage

the player.

This player is designed to be used only with

conventional, fully circular discs. Do not use

shaped discs. Pioneer disclaims all liability

arising in connection with the use of shaped

discs.

Cleaning discs

Fingerprints and dust on discs can affect

playback performance. Clean using a soft, dry

cloth, wiping the disc lightly from the center to

the outside edge as shown 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.

Cleaning the unit’s exterior

Unplug the unit before cleaning.

Use a 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.

If you use a chemical-impregnated 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.

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. We

do not recommend using commercially

available lens cleaners for CD players.

Connections

Connecting using the S-video

output

If your TV (or other equipment) has an S-video

(S1) input, you can use the S-video output on

this player instead of the standard (composite)

output for a better quality picture.

• Use an S-video cable (not supplied) to

connect the S-VIDEO OUT to an S-video

input on your TV (or monitor or AV

receiver).

Line up the small triangle above the jack with

the same mark on the plug before plugging in.

Connecting using the

component video output

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.

• Use a component video cable (not

supplied) to connect the COMPONENT

VIDEO OUT jacks to a component video

input on your TV, monitor or AV receiver.

Connections

Connecting the multichannel analog

outputs

If your AV receiver has 5.1 channel analog

inputs, we recommend connecting this player

to it using the multichannel analog outputs.

Doing this will ensure that you can enjoy all

kinds of disc, including Dolby Digital and DTS

DVD-Video discs, as well as high sampling rate

and multichannel DVD-Audio and SACD

discs.

• Connect the multi-channel audio

outputs on this player to the multi-channel

audio inputs on your AV receiver.

It’s convenient to use three stereo audio

cables; one for the FRONT, one for the

SURROUND and one for the CENTER and

SUBWOOFER channels.

You can also use the S-video or component

video jacks to connect to the AV receiver if you

prefer.

Tip

• After connecting up and switching on, you

should change the Audio Output Mode

setting in the Initial Setup menu from the

default 2 Channel to 5.1 Channel. See

also Audio Output Mode on page 45.

Connecting the digital output

This player has both optical and coaxial-type

digital audio outputs for connection to an AV

receiver. Connect whichever is convenient.

Depending on the capabilities of your AV

receiver, you might have to set up this player to

output only digital audio in a compatible

format. See Digital Audio Out settings on

page 39 and refer to the operating instructions

that came with your AV receiver.

Note that SACD audio is not output through

these jacks, so this connection should be in

addition to, rather than instead of, a 5.1

channel analog connection.

• Connect one of the DIGITAL AUDIO

OUT jacks on this player to a digital input

on your AV receiver.

For an optical connection, use an optical cable

(not supplied) to connect the OPTICAL

DIGITAL AUDIO OUT 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.

About HDMI

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface)

supports both video and audio on a single

digital connection for use with DVD players,

DTV, set-top boxes, and other AV devices.

HDMI was developed to provide the

technologies of High-bandwidth Digital

Content Protection (HDCP) as well as Digital

Visual Interface (DVI) in one specification.

HDCP is used to protect digital content

transmitted and received by DVI-compliant

displays.

HDMI has the capability to support standard,

enhanced, or high-definition video plus

standard to multi-channel surround-sound

audio. HDMI features include uncompressed

digital video, a bandwidth of up to five

gigabytes per second (with HDTV signals), one

connector (instead of several cables and

connectors), and communication between the

AV source and AV devices such as DTVs.

Resetting the output resolution to the

default setting with HDMI connection

Switch the player to standby then, using the

front panel controls, press STANDBY/ON

while pressing to switch the player back to

480P.

You can also use the HDMI RESOLUTION

button on the remote control to switch the

player back to 480P.

Playing discs

The basic playback controls for playing DVD,

CD, SACD, Video CD, DivX video/WMV and

MP3/WMA/MPEG-4 AAC discs are covered

here. Further functions are detailed in the next

chapter.

For details on playing JPEG picture discs, see

Viewing a JPEG slideshow on page 28.

Important

• Throughout this manual, the term ‘DVD’

means DVD-Video, DVD-Audio and

DVD-R/-RW. If a function is specific to a

particular kind of DVD disc, it is specified.

1 If the player isn’t already on, press

STANDBY/ON to switch it on.

If you’re playing a DVD, disc containing DivX

video/WMV files or Video CD, also turn on your

TV and make sure that it is set to the correct

video input.

tray.

3 Load a disc.

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).

4 Press (play) to start playback.

If you’re playing a DVD or Video CD, an on-

screen menu may appear. See DVD-Video and

DivX disc menus on page 24 and Video CD PBC

menus on page 25 for more on how to navigate

these.

• If you’re playing a containing DivX video/

WMV files or MP3/WMA/MPEG-4 AAC

audio files, it may take a few seconds

before playback starts, etc. This is normal.

• Please see Disc/content format playback

compatibility on page 8 if you want to play

a DualDisc (DVD/CD hybrid disc).

Note

• You may find with some DVD discs that

some playback controls don’t work in

certain parts of the disc. This is not a

malfunction.

• If a disc contains a mixture of movie (DivX

video/WMV) and other media file types

(MP3, for example), first select whether to

play the movie files (DivX/WMV)or the

other media file types (MP3/WMA/MPEG-

4 AAC/JPEG) from the on-screen display.

DVD-Video and DivX disc menus

Some DivX media files and many DVD-Video

and DVD-Audio discs feature menus from

which you can select what you want to watch.

They may also give access to additional

features, such as subtitle and audio language

selection, or special features such as

slideshows. See the disc packaging for details.

Sometimes DivX and DVD-Video menus are

displayed automatically when you start

playback; others only appear when you press

MENU or TOP MENU.

Important

• Some DVD-Audio discs feature a ‘bonus

group’. To play this group you first have to

input a password, which you can find on

the disc’s packaging. Use the number

Getting started

• I’ve connected to a HDMI compatible

component but I can’t get any signal and

the front panel HDMI indicator won’t light!

Make sure that you’ve selected this player

as the HDMI input in the settings for the

component you’re using. You may need to

refer to the instruction manual of the

component to do this. See Connecting

using HDMI on page 15 for more on HDMI

compatibility.

• There’s no picture from the HDMI output!

This player cannot display pictures from

DVI compatible sources. See Connecting

using HDMI on page 15 for more on HDMI

compatibility.

Make sure the resolution on this player

matches that of the component you have

connected using HDMI. See HDMI

Resolution on page 40 to change the HDMI

resolution.

• My AV receiver is definitely compatible with

96 kHz/88.2 kHz Linear PCM audio, but it

doesn’t seem to work with this player.

What’s wrong?

For digital copy-protection purposes, some

96 kHz/88.2 kHz DVD discs only output

digital audio downsampled to 48 kHz/

44.1 kHz. This is not a malfunction.

To fully take advantage of the high

sampling rate audio, connect the analog

audio outputs to your amplifier/receiver.

• Why can’t I hear SACD audio through the

digital outputs?

SACD digital audio is only available

through the HDMI outputs when

connected to an HDMI-compatible amp

that can handle protected audio contents.

Some DVD-Audio discs too only output

audio through the analog outputs.

• Is it better to listen to DVD-Audio discs

through the analog outputs?

Some DVD-Audio discs do not output

anything through the digital outputs, and

multichannel discs are downmixed to

stereo for the digital output. In addition,

high sampling rate DVD-Audio discs

(higher than 96 kHz) automatically

downsample audio output from the digital

outputs.

Using the multichannel analog audio

outputs for DVD-Audio have none of these

limitations.

• My DVD-Audio disc starts playing, but then

suddenly stops!

The disc may have been illegally copied.

Audio DRC

•Settings:High, Medium, Low,

Off (default)

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.

Note

• Audio DRC is only effective with Dolby

Digital audio sources.

• Audio DRC is only effective through the

digital output when Digital Out is set to

On, and Dolby Digital Out is set to Dolby

Digital > PCM (see Digital Audio Out

settings on page 39).

• The effect of Audio DRC also depends on

your speakers and AV receiver settings.

Virtual Surround

• Settings: On, Off (default)

Switch on Virtual Surround to enjoy realistic

surround sound effects from just two

speakers.

Tip

• You can also use the SURROUND button

on the remote control to switch Virtual

About DivX

VOD content

In order to play DivX VOD (video on demand)

content on this player, you first need to register

the player with your DivX VOD content

provider. You do this by generating a DivX VOD

registration code, which you submit to your

provider.

Important

• DivX VOD content is protected by a DRM

(Digital Rights Management) system. This

restricts playback of content to specific,

registered devices.

• If you load a disc that contains DivX VOD

content not authorized for your player, the

message Authorization Error is displayed

and the content will not play.

• Resetting the player (as described in

Resetting the player on page 53) will not

cause you to lose your registration code.

Displaying your DivX VOD

registration code

1PressHOME MENU and select ‘Initial

Settings’.

2 Select ‘Options’, then ‘DivX VOD’.

3 Select ‘Display’.

Your 8-digit registration code is displayed.

Make a note of the code as you will need it

when you register with a DivX VOD provider.

Playing DivX

VOD content

Some DivX VOD content may only be playable

a fixed number of times. When you load a disc

containing this type of DivX VOD content, the

remaining number of plays is shown on-

screen and you then have the option of playing

the disc (thereby using up one of the

remaining plays), or stopping. If you load a

disc that contains expired DivX VOD content

(for example, content that has zero remaining

plays), the message Rental Expired is

displayed.

If your DivX VOD content allows an unlimited

number of plays, then you may load the disc

into your player and play the content as often

as you like, and no message will be displayed.

About the audio output settings

The table below shows how the audio settings you make in the Initial Settings menu (see

page 38) affect the output from the 2 channel and the 5.1 channel analog outputs, and from the

digital outputs with various types of disc.

*1When Audio Output Mode is set to 2 Channel, the AUDIO OUT (5.1ch) FRONT L / R jacks act as a second pair

of stereo audio outputs.

*2Dolby Digital > PCM, MPEG > PCM or DTS > PCM setting (page 39)

*3Dolby Digital, MPEG or DTS setting (page 39)

*4Discs that prohibit downmixing will be output as 5.1 channel even if 2 Channel is selected as the Audio Output

Mode setting (see page 45).

*5Discs that prohibit downmixing also mute the digital output.

*6When Audio Output Mode is set to 5.1 Channel, mono sources are heard from the center speaker only.

HDMI output with DVD-Audio and SACD sources

The way audio sources are output from the HDMI terminal depends on the specification of the

connected component.

*1This unit checks the specification of the connected component (such sample rate/multi-

channel limitations and compatibility with protected audio contents) and outputs the signal

accordingly. Note that ‘DVD-Audio compatible’ indicates compatibility with protected audio

contents. ‘SACD compatible’ indicates compatibility with DSD signals.

*2If HDMI Out setting (page 39) is set to LPCM (2CH), DVD-Audio multichannel sources will be

downmixed to stereo. (In cases where the source is downmix-prohibited, only the front left/right

channels are output.) For SACD sources, the 2 channel (stereo) SACD audio area is selected.

If the video output resolution is 480i or 480p audio output may be limited to 2 channel (depending

to the connected component).

*3In cases where the source is downmix-prohibited, only the front left/right channels are output.

*4If CPPM shows in the front panel display, it means it is not possible to output CPPM copycon-

trolled DVD-Audio sources from the HDMI connection. Discs with no CPPM protection are

limited to 2 channel output.

Additional information

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. Leave it to adjust to the warmer

temperature for about an hour before

switching on.

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 40) of this player should be set to

16:9 (Wide) or 16:9 (Compressed).

When you watch discs recorded in 4:3 format

with the 16:9 (Wide) setting, 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.

Standard TV users

If you have a standard TV, the TV Screen

setting (page 40) 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.

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.

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.

Note

•Usingthe16:9 (Wide) or 16: 9

(Compressed) setting with a standard 4:3

TV, or either of the 4:3 settings with a

widescreen TV, will result in a distorted

picture.

the application used to encode the AAC file.

This unit plays back AAC files encoded by

iTunes®bearing the extension ‘.m4a’. DRM-

protected files will not play, and files encoded

with some versions of iTunes®may not play, or

filenames may display incorrectly.

Connections

Easy connections

Important

• Before making or changing any connections, switch off the power and disconnect the power

cable from the AC outlet.

• The setup described here is a basic setup that allows you to play discs using just the cables

supplied with the player. In this setup, stereo audio is played through the speakers in your TV.

• This player is equipped with copy protection technology. Do not connect this player to your

TV via a VCR using audio/video or S-video cables, as the picture from this player will not

appear properly on your TV. (This player may also not be compatible with some combination

TV/VCRs for the same reason; refer to the manufacturer for more information.)

1 Connect the VIDEO OUT and AUDIO

OUT (5.1ch)/AUDIO OUT L/R jacks to a set

of A/V inputs on your TV.

Use the supplied audio/video cable,

connecting the red and white plugs to the

audio outputs and the yellow plug to the video

output. Make sure you match up the left and

right audio outputs with their corresponding

inputs for correct stereo sound.

See below if you want to use a component or

S-video cable for the video connection.

2 Plug into a power outlet.

Note

• Before unplugging the player from the

power outlet, make sure you first switch it

into standby using either the front panel

STANDBY/ON button, or the remote

control, and wait of the -OFF- message to

disappear from the player’s display.

• For the above reasons, do not plug this

player into a switched power supply found

on some amplifiers and AV receivers.

Watching progressive scan video

from the component video outputs

This player can output progressive scan video

from the component video output. Compared

to interlace video, progressive scan video

effectively doubles the scanning rate of the

picture, resulting in a very stable, flicker-free

image.

To set up the player for use with a progressive

scan TV, see Video Output settings on page 40.

When the player is set to output progressive

scan video, the PRGSVE indicator lights in the

front panel display.

Important

• 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,

switch everything off and reconnect using

the supplied video cable (see Easy

connections on page 11), then switch back

to Interlace (see below).

Switching the video output to interlace

using the front panel controls

Switch the player to standby then, using the

front panel controls, press STANDBY/ON

while pressing to switch the player back to

Interlace.

• If the player is connected using HDMI,

disconnect the HDMI cable before

resetting the player to interlace output. (If

left connected, the HDMI output

resolution will be reset to its default — see

Resetting the output resolution to the

default setting with HDMI connection on

page 16.)

Connecting to an AV receiver

You can connect this player to your AV receiver

using the multichannel analog outputs or one

of the digital outputs.

In addition to these connections, you should

also connect the 2 channel analog outputs for

compatibility with all discs.

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 the analog AUDIO OUT

(5.1ch)/AUDIO OUT L/R and VIDEO OUT

jacks on this player to a set of analog audio

and video inputs on your AV receiver.

2 Connect the AV receiver’s video output

to a video input on your TV.

You can also use the S-video or component

video jacks to connect to the AV receiver if you

prefer.

Tip

• 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 using HDMI

If you have a HDMI equipped monitor or

display, you can connect it to this player using

a commercially available HDMI cable.

The HDMI connector outputs uncompressed

digital video, as well as almost every kind of

digital audio that the player is compatible with,

including DVD-Video, DVD-Audio (see below

for limitations), SACD, Video CD, CD, WMA,

MP3, MPEG-4 AAC, DivX video and WMV.

• Use an HDMI cable to connect the

HDMI OUT interconnect on this player to

an HDMI interconnect on a HDMI-

compatible display.

The arrow on the cable connector body should

be face up for correct alignment with the

connector on the player.

Note

• This unit has been designed to be

compliant with HDMI (High-Definition

Multimedia Interface). Depending on the

component you have connected, using a

DVI connection may result in unreliable

signal transfers.

• When you change the component

connected to the HDMI output, you will

also need to change the HDMI settings to

match the new component (see HDMI Out

on page 39, HDMI Resolution and HDMI

Color on page 40 to do this). However, the

settings for each component are then

stored in memory (for up to 2

components).

• The HDMI connection is compatible with 2

channel linear PCM signals (44.1 kHz to

192 kHz, 16 bit/20 bit/24 bit), and Dolby

Digital, DTS, MPEG audio bitstream, multi

channel DSD, and multi channel linear

PCM signals, (5.1 channel signals up to 96

kHz, 16 bit/20 bit/24 bit).

Basic playback controls

The table below shows the basic controls on

the remote for playing discs. The following

chapter covers other playback features in

more detail.

Resume and Last Memory

With the exception of DVD-Audio and SACD

discs, when you stop playback of a DVD, CD, or

Video CD or DivX video/WMV discs, RESUME

is shown in the display indicating that you can

resume playback again from that point.

If the disc tray is not opened, the next time you

start playback the display shows RESUME and

playback resumes from the resume point. (If

you want to clear the resume point, press

(stop) while RESUME is displayed.)

With DVDs and Video CDs, if you take the disc

out of the player after stopping playback, the

last play position is stored in memory. If the

next disc you load is the same one, the display

shows LAST MEM and playback will resume.

For DVD-Video discs, the player stores the play

position of the last five discs. When one of

these discs is next loaded, you can resume

playback.

Note

• The Last Memory function doesn’t work

with VR format DVD-R/-RW, DVD-Audio or

SACD discs.

• If you don’t need the Last Memory function

when you stop a disc, you can press

OPEN/CLOSE to stop playback and

open the disc tray.

Button What it does

Starts playback.

If the display shows RESUME or

LAST MEM playback starts from the

resume or last memory point (see

Pauses a disc that’s playing, or

restarts a paused disc.

Stops playback.

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.

Additional information

Taking care of your player and

discs

General

Hold discs by the edge or by the center hole

and edge.

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 on to discs. Do

not use a pencil, ball-point pen or other sharp-

tipped writing instrument to write on the disc.

Don’t use self-adhesive disc labels on discs as

these can cause the disc to warp slightly

during playback causing distortion in the

picture and/or sound.

Damaged and shaped discs

Do not use cracked, chipped, warped, or

otherwise damaged discs as they may damage

the player.

This player is designed to be used only with

conventional, fully circular discs. Do not use

shaped discs. Pioneer disclaims all liability

arising in connection with the use of shaped

discs.

Cleaning discs

Fingerprints and dust on discs can affect

playback performance. Clean using a soft, dry

cloth, wiping the disc lightly from the center to

the outside edge as shown 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.

Cleaning the unit’s exterior

Unplug the unit before cleaning.

Use a 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.

If you use a chemical-impregnated 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.

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. We

do not recommend using commercially

available lens cleaners for CD players.

Connections

Connecting using the S-video

output

If your TV (or other equipment) has an S-video

(S1) input, you can use the S-video output on

this player instead of the standard (composite)

output for a better quality picture.

Line up the small triangle above the jack with

the same mark on the plug before plugging in.

Connecting using the

component video output

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.

Connections

Connecting the multichannel analog

outputs

If your AV receiver has 5.1 channel analog

inputs, we recommend connecting this player

to it using the multichannel analog outputs.

Doing this will ensure that you can enjoy all

kinds of disc, including Dolby Digital and DTS

DVD-Video discs, as well as high sampling rate

and multichannel DVD-Audio and SACD

discs.

It’s convenient to use three stereo audio

cables; one for the , one for the

and one for the and

channels.

You can also use the S-video or component

video jacks to connect to the AV receiver if you

prefer.

Tip

• After connecting up and switching on, you

should change the

setting in the Initial Setup menu from the

default to . See

also Audio Output Mode on page 45.

Connecting the digital output

This player has both optical and coaxial-type

digital audio outputs for connection to an AV

receiver. Connect whichever is convenient.

Depending on the capabilities of your AV

receiver, you might have to set up this player to

output only digital audio in a compatible

format. See Digital Audio Out settings on

page 39 and refer to the operating instructions

that came with your AV receiver.

Note that SACD audio is not output through

these jacks, so this connection should be in

addition to, rather than instead of, a 5.1

channel analog connection.

For an optical connection, use an optical cable

(not supplied) to connect the

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 jack to a

coaxial input on your AV receiver.

About HDMI

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface)

supports both video and audio on a single

digital connection for use with DVD players,

DTV, set-top boxes, and other AV devices.

HDMI was developed to provide the

technologies of High-bandwidth Digital

Content Protection (HDCP) as well as Digital

Visual Interface (DVI) in one specification.

HDCP is used to protect digital content

transmitted and received by DVI-compliant

displays.

HDMI has the capability to support standard,

enhanced, or high-definition video plus

standard to multi-channel surround-sound

audio. HDMI features include uncompressed

digital video, a bandwidth of up to five

gigabytes per second (with HDTV signals), one

connector (instead of several cables and

connectors), and communication between the

AV source and AV devices such as DTVs.

Playing discs

The basic playback controls for playing DVD,

CD, SACD, Video CD, DivX video/WMV and

MP3/WMA/MPEG-4 AAC discs are covered

here. Further functions are detailed in the next

chapter.

For details on playing JPEG picture discs, see

Viewing a JPEG slideshow on page 28.

Important

• Throughout this manual, the term ‘DVD’

means DVD-Video, DVD-Audio and

DVD-R/-RW. If a function is specific to a

particular kind of DVD disc, it is specified.

If you’re playing a DVD, disc containing DivX

video/WMV files or Video CD, also turn on your

TV and make sure that it is set to the correct

video input.

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).

If you’re playing a DVD or Video CD, an on-

screen menu may appear. See DVD-Video and

DivX disc menus on page 24 and Video CD PBC

menus on page 25 for more on how to navigate

these.

• If you’re playing a containing DivX video/

WMV files or MP3/WMA/MPEG-4 AAC

audio files, it may take a few seconds

before playback starts, etc. This is normal.

• Please see Disc/content format playback

compatibility on page 8 if you want to play

a DualDisc (DVD/CD hybrid disc).

Note

• You may find with some DVD discs that

some playback controls don’t work in

certain parts of the disc. This is not a

malfunction.

Getting started

• I’ve connected to a HDMI compatible

component but I can’t get any signal and

the front panel HDMI indicator won’t light!

Make sure that you’ve selected this player

as the HDMI input in the settings for the

component you’re using. You may need to

refer to the instruction manual of the

component to do this. See Connecting

using HDMI on page 15 for more on HDMI

compatibility.

• There’s no picture from the HDMI output!

This player cannot display pictures from

DVI compatible sources. See Connecting

using HDMI on page 15 for more on HDMI

compatibility.

Make sure the resolution on this player

matches that of the component you have

connected using HDMI. See HDMI

Resolution on page 40 to change the HDMI

resolution.

• My AV receiver is definitely compatible with

96 kHz/88.2 kHz Linear PCM audio, but it

doesn’t seem to work with this player.

What’s wrong?

For digital copy-protection purposes, some

96 kHz/88.2 kHz DVD discs only output

digital audio downsampled to 48 kHz/

44.1 kHz. This is not a malfunction.

To fully take advantage of the high

sampling rate audio, connect the analog

audio outputs to your amplifier/receiver.

• Why can’t I hear SACD audio through the

digital outputs?

SACD digital audio is only available

through the HDMI outputs when

connected to an HDMI-compatible amp

that can handle protected audio contents.

Some DVD-Audio discs too only output

audio through the analog outputs.

• Is it better to listen to DVD-Audio discs

through the analog outputs?

Some DVD-Audio discs do not output

anything through the digital outputs, and

multichannel discs are downmixed to

stereo for the digital output. In addition,

high sampling rate DVD-Audio discs

(higher than 96 kHz) automatically

downsample audio output from the digital

outputs.

Using the multichannel analog audio

outputs for DVD-Audio have none of these

limitations.

• My DVD-Audio disc starts playing, but then

suddenly stops!

The disc may have been illegally copied.

Audio DRC

•Settings: , , ,

(default)

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.

Note

• Audio DRC is only effective with Dolby

Digital audio sources.

• Audio DRC is only effective through the

digital output when is set to

settings on page 39).

• The effect of Audio DRC also depends on

your speakers and AV receiver settings.

Virtual Surround

• Settings: , (default)

Switch on Virtual Surround to enjoy realistic

surround sound effects from just two

speakers.

Tip

• You can also use the button

on the remote control to switch Virtual

Surround on.

downsampled to 48 kHz if Virtual Surround

• If the player is outputting Dolby Digital,

DTS or MPEG bitstream audio (in other

words, no conversion to PCM), Virtual

Surround has no effect on the audio from

the digital output. See Digital Audio Out

settings on page 39 for how to set up the

HDMI output with DVD-Audio and SACD sources

The way audio sources are output from the HDMI terminal depends on the specification of the

connected component.

This unit checks the specification of the connected component (such sample rate/multi-

channel limitations and compatibility with protected audio contents) and outputs the signal

accordingly. Note that ‘DVD-Audio compatible’ indicates compatibility with protected audio

contents. ‘SACD compatible’ indicates compatibility with DSD signals.

If setting (page 39) is set to , DVD-Audio multichannel sources will be

downmixed to stereo. (In cases where the source is downmix-prohibited, only the front left/right

channels are output.) For SACD sources, the 2 channel (stereo) SACD audio area is selected.

If the video output resolution is 480i or 480p audio output may be limited to 2 channel (depending

to the connected component).

In cases where the source is downmix-prohibited, only the front left/right channels are output.

If shows in the front panel display, it means it is not possible to output CPPM copycon-

trolled DVD-Audio sources from the HDMI connection. Discs with no CPPM protection are

limited to 2 channel output.

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.

This unit plays back AAC files encoded by

iTunes®bearing the extension ‘.m4a’. DRM-

protected files will not play, and files encoded

with some versions of iTunes®may not play, or

filenames may display incorrectly.

Apple and iTunes are trademarks of Apple Inc., registered

in the U.S. and other countries.

Connections

Easy connections

Important

• Before making or changing any connections, switch off the power and disconnect the power

cable from the AC outlet.

• The setup described here is a basic setup that allows you to play discs using just the cables

supplied with the player. In this setup, stereo audio is played through the speakers in your TV.

• This player is equipped with copy protection technology. Do not connect this player to your

TV via a VCR using audio/video or S-video cables, as the picture from this player will not

appear properly on your TV. (This player may also not be compatible with some combination

TV/VCRs for the same reason; refer to the manufacturer for more information.)

1 Connect the VIDEO OUT and AUDIO

OUT (5.1ch)/AUDIO OUT L/R jacks to a set

of A/V inputs on your TV.

Use the supplied audio/video cable,

connecting the red and white plugs to the

audio outputs and the yellow plug to the video

output. Make sure you match up the left and

right audio outputs with their corresponding

inputs for correct stereo sound.

See below if you want to use a component or

S-video cable for the video connection.

2 Plug into a power outlet.

Note

• Before unplugging the player from the

power outlet, make sure you first switch it

into standby using either the front panel

STANDBY/ON button, or the remote

control, and wait of the -OFF- message to

disappear from the player’s display.

• For the above reasons, do not plug this

player into a switched power supply found

on some amplifiers and AV receivers.

Watching progressive scan video

from the component video outputs

This player can output progressive scan video

from the component video output. Compared

to interlace video, progressive scan video

effectively doubles the scanning rate of the

picture, resulting in a very stable, flicker-free

image.

To set up the player for use with a progressive

scan TV, see Video Output settings on page 40.

When the player is set to output progressive

scan video, the PRGSVE indicator lights in the

front panel display.

Important

• 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,

switch everything off and reconnect using

the supplied video cable (see Easy

connections on page 11), then switch back

to Interlace (see below).

Switching the video output to interlace

using the front panel controls

Switch the player to standby then, using the

front panel controls, press STANDBY/ON

while pressing to switch the player back to

Interlace.

• If the player is connected using HDMI,

disconnect the HDMI cable before

resetting the player to interlace output. (If

left connected, the HDMI output

resolution will be reset to its default — see

Resetting the output resolution to the

default setting with HDMI connection on

page 16.)

Connecting to an AV receiver

You can connect this player to your AV receiver

using the multichannel analog outputs or one

of the digital outputs.

In addition to these connections, you should

also connect the 2 channel analog outputs for

compatibility with all discs.

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 the analog AUDIO OUT

(5.1ch)/AUDIO OUT L/R and VIDEO OUT

jacks on this player to a set of analog audio

and video inputs on your AV receiver.

2 Connect the AV receiver’s video output

to a video input on your TV.

You can also use the S-video or component

video jacks to connect to the AV receiver if you

prefer.

Tip

• 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 using HDMI

If you have a HDMI equipped monitor or

display, you can connect it to this player using

a commercially available HDMI cable.

The HDMI connector outputs uncompressed

digital video, as well as almost every kind of

digital audio that the player is compatible with,

including DVD-Video, DVD-Audio (see below

for limitations), SACD, Video CD, CD, WMA,

MP3, MPEG-4 AAC, DivX video and WMV.

• Use an HDMI cable to connect the

HDMI OUT interconnect on this player to

an HDMI interconnect on a HDMI-

compatible display.

The arrow on the cable connector body should

be face up for correct alignment with the

connector on the player.

Note

• This unit has been designed to be

compliant with HDMI (High-Definition

Multimedia Interface). Depending on the

component you have connected, using a

DVI connection may result in unreliable

signal transfers.

• When you change the component

connected to the HDMI output, you will

also need to change the HDMI settings to

match the new component (see HDMI Out

on page 39, HDMI Resolution and HDMI

Color on page 40 to do this). However, the

settings for each component are then

stored in memory (for up to 2

components).

• The HDMI connection is compatible with 2

channel linear PCM signals (44.1 kHz to

192 kHz, 16 bit/20 bit/24 bit), and Dolby

Digital, DTS, MPEG audio bitstream, multi

channel DSD, and multi channel linear

PCM signals, (5.1 channel signals up to 96

kHz, 16 bit/20 bit/24 bit).

Basic playback controls

The table below shows the basic controls on

the remote for playing discs. The following

chapter covers other playback features in

more detail.

Resume and Last Memory

With the exception of DVD-Audio and SACD

discs, when you stop playback of a DVD, CD, or

Video CD or DivX video/WMV discs, RESUME

is shown in the display indicating that you can

resume playback again from that point.

If the disc tray is not opened, the next time you

start playback the display shows RESUME and

playback resumes from the resume point. (If

you want to clear the resume point, press

(stop) while RESUME is displayed.)

With DVDs and Video CDs, if you take the disc

out of the player after stopping playback, the

last play position is stored in memory. If the

next disc you load is the same one, the display

shows LAST MEM and playback will resume.

For DVD-Video discs, the player stores the play

position of the last five discs. When one of

these discs is next loaded, you can resume

playback.

Note

• The Last Memory function doesn’t work

with VR format DVD-R/-RW, DVD-Audio or

SACD discs.

• If you don’t need the Last Memory function

when you stop a disc, you can press

OPEN/CLOSE to stop playback and

open the disc tray.

Button What it does

• 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.

Additional information

Taking care of your player and

discs

General

Hold discs by the edge or by the center hole

and edge.

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 on to discs. Do

not use a pencil, ball-point pen or other sharp-

tipped writing instrument to write on the disc.

Don’t use self-adhesive disc labels on discs as

these can cause the disc to warp slightly

during playback causing distortion in the

picture and/or sound.

Damaged and shaped discs

Do not use cracked, chipped, warped, or

otherwise damaged discs as they may damage

the player.

This player is designed to be used only with

conventional, fully circular discs. Do not use

shaped discs. Pioneer disclaims all liability

arising in connection with the use of shaped

discs.

Cleaning discs

Fingerprints and dust on discs can affect

playback performance. Clean using a soft, dry

cloth, wiping the disc lightly from the center to

the outside edge as shown 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.

Cleaning the unit’s exterior

Unplug the unit before cleaning.

Use a 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.

If you use a chemical-impregnated 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.

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. We

do not recommend using commercially

available lens cleaners for CD players.
