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.
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
40 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
80 Average city traffic, garbage disposals, alarm clock at two feet.
THE FOLLOWING NOISES CAN BE DANGEROUS UNDER CONSTANT EXPOSURE
90 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

The disc format logos shown above are found on disc labels or on disc jackets.
•To prevent malfunction, do not use an 8 cm (3 in.) adaptor (for CDs).
•Discs other than the ones indicated above cannot be played on this unit.
•DVDs that have incompatible region numbers, DVDAudio, DVD-ROM, and CD-ROM cannot be played on this unit. The region number of the player can be found on the rear panel.
*Playing recordable CDs
•Note that this unit cannot record onto recordable discs.
•This unit can play music-use CD-R and CD-RW discs. However, depending on the condition of the CD-Recorder and the disc, you may find that not all discs will play successfully. (For example, if the disc is scratched or dirty, or if the player’s pickup lens is dirty.)
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-37 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.
Digital Noise Reduction PRO
(Video Quality Enhancer)
This new type of DNR (Digital Noise Reduction) for encoding video (called VQE or Video Quality Enhancer) enables you to adjust the video settings on a more detailed and exact level. There are three possible settings to choose from. These include: TV (CRT), Projector, and Professional. This technology can remember which setting you’ve chosen and employ it at the proper time.
TruSurround and Virtual Dolby
Digital
TruSurround*** uses technology that simulates multichannel surround sound using only two speakers. Virtual Dolby Digital works in conjunction with Dolby Digital audio sources to create a realistic surround sound. Virtual Dolby Digital is selected automatically when Dolby Digital sources are loaded.
Easy setup and adjustment using on-screen menus
Press SETUP on the remote control to open the Setup screen and you’ll find setting up and adjusting the system easy to do with on-screen menus conveniently organized and arranged. Additionally, on-screen information ( i ) appears to clarify the functions and explain the options available.

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.

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.
Refer to the section “Before Using” on page 8 to confirm that all the accessories were included with the player.

There is also a list of terms that can be found on page 62 if you are having trouble understanding some of the terminology associated with DVD.
Make the necessary connections.
No entertainment system seems to be set up exactly the same way. The “Making Connections” section starting on page 15 shows how video and audio connections may be made to suit your home entertainment system.
Set up the necessary player menus.
Before you can begin to enjoy the benefits of the DVD format, it is first necessary to 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 19 explains how to use the Setup Navigator, a function that automatically sets up the player corresponding to the answers given in a multiple-choice on-screen procedure. The Setup screen menus, described in the section starting on page 28, are also used in a number of other functions. Learning the procedure for operating these 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 22 outlines the basic player operations.
Enjoy the many features available.
Once you are comfortable using the basic player functions, you are ready to take advantage of the various options DVD and this player have to offer. The section

FUNCTIONS AND NAMES
1COMPONENT VIDEO OUT switch
You only need to set this switch if you’re using an NTSC TV/monitor connected via the component video outputs of this player. This player can output NTSC video as a standard interlaced signal (the 525i(480i) setting), or as a non-interlaced, or progressive scan signal (the 525p(480p) setting). If your TV/monitor is compatible with progressive scan video, set this switch to either 525p(480p) or
MENU SELECT. When set to MENU SELECT, you can use the on-screen Setup menu to switch between progressive and interlaced video output. If your TV/monitor is not progressive scan compatible, you will not be able to see any picture if
this player is set to output progressive scan video. In this case, set the switch to 525i(480i) to restore the picture.

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 16 to 18. 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 20). Additionally, you can use the [TV Screen] setting in the Setup screen Video menu (page 31).
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 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.

Digital Audio Connections:
You can enjoy the digital audio recorded on discs from both optical digital and coaxial digital output jacks.
When making digital audio connections, do not make connections from both the coaxial and optical digital outputs to the same component.
When a DVD recorded in Dolby Digital, DTS, or MPEG is loaded, noise will be output if you have made connections via the digital audio jacks to a receiver or amplifier that cannot decode a Dolby Digital, DTS, or MPEG digital bitstream. In this case, be sure to set up the Setup Navigator audio settings to best reflect the type of system you are using (page 21). Additionally, the digital audio settings can be adjusted manually in the Setup screen Audio 1 menu (pages 28–29).
DIGITAL OUT (Optical)
The digital signal is transmitted as light pulses through a fiber-optic cable.
•Use to connect to an AV amplifier or receiver with built-in Dolby Digital, DTS, or MPEG decoder.
•Use a fiber-optic cable (not supplied) to connect the DIGITAL OUT OPT (digital optical output) on the player to the digital optical input on an AV amplifier or receiver.

System Control Connections
Using a commercially available cord with a mini plug (3.5 mm dia. with no resistance) to connect this player’s
CONTROL IN jack to the CONTROL OUT jack of another PIONEER component bearing the Î mark, you can control the player as though it were a component in a system (system control).
•If you connect for system control, you cannot operate the player directly. Point the remote control unit at the component (AV amplifier, etc.) connected to the CONTROL OUT jack to operate.
•When controlling as a system, be sure to make a connection to the amplifier using an audio or video cord, even when using only digital components.
•For details, refer to the operation manuals of the connected components.

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.
