terminals on an AV receiver or amplifier, etc.
4 VIDEO OUT terminals
VIDEO – Connect with the video input terminal on a TV, AV
receiver or amplifier, etc.
S-VIDEO – Connect with the S-Video input terminal on a TV, AV
receiver or amplifier, etc.

6 HDMI OUT terminal
Connect with an HDMI-compatible TV, AV receiver or amplifier, etc.
7 CONTROL IN terminal
Use to control this player from the remote sensor of another Pioneer
component with a CONTROL OUT terminal and bearing the
mark. Connect the CONTROL OUT of the other component to the
CONTROL IN of this player using a mini-plug cord.
Caution
• Be sure to connect cables for outputting the audio and video
signals.
• When connected via System Control, point the remote control
toward the connected component (such as an AV receiver or
amplifier). The remote will not work correctly when pointed at
this player.
• You cannot use System Control with components that do not
have a System Control terminal or with components
manufactured by companies other than Pioneer.

Items to be checked after repair (BD players)
To ensure the quality of the product after repair, check the recommended items shown below:
See the table below for the items to be checked regarding video and audio:
Item to be checked regarding video Item to be checked regarding audio
Block noise Distortion
Horizontal noise Noise
Dot noise Volume too low
Disturbed image (video jumpiness) Volume too high
Too dark Volume fluctuating
Too bright Sound interrupted
Mottled color
Color disappearance
No. Procedures Item to be checked
1 Check the version of the firmware in Service mode.
The version must be the latest.
If the version is not the latest, update the firmware.
2
Check if all the symptoms pointed out by the customer have been
addressed. If a symptom pointed out by the customer is
attributable to a particular disc, that disc must be played back.
The symptoms in question must not be reproduced.
Video, audio, and operations must be normal.
3
Measure playback error rates at the innermost and outermost
tracks, by playing back the following discs:
BD-ROM test disc (GGV1308)
DVD test disc (GGV1025)
The error rates must be 1.0e-3 or less.
This procedure can determine if the drive is degraded.
4 Check playback of a CD disc (track search). Audio and operations, such as a search, must be normal.
5
Check playback of a DVD disc (menu operations, title/chapter
search).
Video, audio, and operations, such as a search, must be normal.
6
Check playback of a BD disc (menu operations, title/chapter
search).
Video, audio, and operations, such as a search, must be normal.
7 Check the cabinet.
Check for any scratches or dirt that have been made or attached
on the cabinet after receiving the product for repair.
Before shipping out the product, be sure to clean the following positions by using the prescribed cleaning tools:
Position to be cleaned Cleaning tools
Pickup lenses Cleaning liquid : GEM1004
Cleaning paper : GED-008

Pressing of the POWER key is detected by the IC4001 Submicrocomputer on the MAIN Assy.
The IC4001 then outputs a POWER_ON signal to the SYPS Assy.
[1] Power On Sequence
After receiving the POWER_ON signal, the SYPS Assy activates, secondary
Power[SW+12 V], setting it to ON.
Communication between the R8A34019BG and the DDR2 SDRAM starts.
[2] Troubleshooting
Are the pins at CN7001 and CN7002 supplied with voltages?
MAIN ASSY(1/10) V+3S, V+3PLL with 3.3 voltages?
MAIN ASSY(1/10) V+1R8S with 1.8 voltages?
MAIN ASSY(1/10) V+1R1S with 1.1 voltages?
Is the reset signal H? (R1161)
Is the 27 MHz CLK oscillating? (R1141)

Communication between the R8A34019BG and the FLASH_IC starts.
It takes about 1 minute to complete the startup process.
The R8A34019BG (IC1001), the core LSI, starts up. {RS-232C connectorCN1601,
