3 Connect the AV receiver’s video
output to a video input on your TV.
• You usually have to connect the same
kind of video cable between your DVD
player and AV receiver, and between your
AV receiver and TV.
• 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.
• 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.

• 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 58.
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
page 54.
• 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
of your player and discs
Taking care
on page 54 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-Audio or DVD-ROM.
See
Disc / content format playback

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

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

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.
Wipe lightly from the center of the disc
using straight strokes.
If necessary, use a cloth soaked in alcohol, or
a commercially available CD/DVD cleaning kit
to clean a disc more thoroughly. Never use
benzine, 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.
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.
54
En
Don’t wipe the disc surface using circular
strokes.
Page 55
Additional information

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.
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.
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. These cloths may leave
smear marks on half-mirror finish
surfaces; if this happens, finish with a dry
cloth.
• Unplug the unit when cleaning.
Cleaning the pickup lens
The DVD player’s lens should not become
dirty in normal use, but if for some reason it
should malfunction due to dust or dirt,
consult your nearest Pioneer-authorized
service center. Although lens cleaners for CD
players are commercially available, we do not
recommend using them since some may
damage the lens.
Problems with condensation
Condensation may form inside the player if it
is brought into a warm room from outside, or
if the temperature of the room rises quickly.
Although the condensation won’t damage the
player, it may temporarily impair its performance. For this reason you should leave it to
adjust to the warmer temperature for about
an hour before switching on and using.
Hints on installation
We want you to enjoy using this product for
years to come, so please bear in mind the
following points when choosing a suitable
location for it:
Do...
• Use in a well-ventilated room.
• Place on a solid, flat, level surface, such
as a table, shelf or stereo rack.
Don’t...
• Use in a place exposed to high temperatures or humidity, including near radiators and other heat-generating
appliances.
• Place on a window sill or other place
where the player will be exposed to direct
sunlight.
• Use in an excessively dusty or damp environment.
55
En
Page 56
10
Additional information
• 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
the player off. Wait for
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.
on the front panel to turn
-OFF-
to disappear
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.
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
setting (page 48) 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.
.
Standard TV users
If you have a standard TV, the
setting (page 48) of this player should be set
to
4:3 (Letter Box)
depending on which you prefer.

(MOD. PAL)
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.

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
audio
.
Digital
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

DRM
DRM (digital rights management) is a type of
server software developed to enable secure
distribution of paid content over the web,
recently incorporated by WMA (Windows
Media Audio ).
DTS
DTS stands for Digital Theater Systems. DTS
is a surround system different from Dolby
Digital that has become a popular surround
sound format for movies.
Dynamic range
The difference between the quietest and
loudest sounds possible in an audio signal
(without distorting or getting lost in noise).
Dolby Digital and DTS soundtracks are
capable of a very wide 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.
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.

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 CDs and some
DVD discs. This unit can convert MPEG audio
to PCM format for wider compatibility with
digital recorders and AV amplifiers. See also
PCM (Pulse Code Modulation)
.
MPEG video
The video format used for Video CDs and
DVDs. Video CD uses the older MPEG-1 standard, while DVD uses the newer and much
better quality MPEG-2 standard.
PBC (PlayBack Control) (Video CD only)
A system of navigating a Video CD through
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.
PCM (Pulse Code Modulation)
The most common system of encoding digital
audio, found on CDs and DAT. Excellent
