Equipped to play back DVD-Audio discs and capable of decoding Dolby Digital*

and DTS*

multichannel digital bitstreams for a high quality audio experience.

Equipped with a 192 kHz/24 bit DAC (Digital-Analog Converter), this player is capable of playing back the high quality audio recorded on DVD-Audio discs. Additionally, discrete 5.1 channel analog audio output jacks are featured for 96 kHz/24 bit audio output of multichannel DVD-Audio discs and Dolby Digital and DTS multichannel sources decoded by the player's internal Dolby Digital and DTS decoders. By making connections to an AV component that features 5.1 channel discrete inputs, you can enjoy a cinema quality sound experience (page 18).

Equipped for high standard progressive scan component video output

The component video output jacks on this player feature a 525p (480p) progressive scan output frequency. When connections are made to the component video input of a TV, monitor, or projector compatible with 525p (480p) progressive scan frequencies, twice the information of a standard interlace scan and greatly improved picture quality can be achieved (page 15). Also, when taking advantage of the progressive scan system, the Pure Cinema mode can be used to produce an even better picture quality during DVD-Video disc playback (page 45).

*1Playing 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 CDRecorder 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.)

Equipped with newly developed DNR video encoder technology

This player is equipped with a high quality DNR (Digital Noise Reduction) internal video encoder (VQE: Video Quality Enhancer) that automatically performs fine textured video adjustments. Three preprogrammed quality settings can be selected for TV (CRT), projector, and professional, and you can also make custom adjustments to screen quality settings and store them in the player's memory (page 44). This player also features component video output jacks for ideal delivery of the DVD digital video signal, as well as two S-video and two composite output jacks.

Page 5

Connection to the optional C-AX10 Control Amplifier using PDIF

Multi-channel digital audio and 2 channel with sampling rate of up to 192kHz can be fed directly to a C-AX10 Control Amplifier. Since the signal does not pass through any D/A – A/D conversion, exceptional playback quality is possible (page 17).

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 ( explain the options available. Below are just a few examples.

Differences in Disc Composition

DVD-Video

DVD-Videos 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 DVD. Menu screens do not belong to any title. DVD player functions generally apply to titles on a DVD or chapters within a selected title. The player functions available may also vary from title to title, depending on the DVD. When DVDs have a unique title division, it should be noted that search and program functions may be affected.

How to Proceed in This Manual

DVD is an incredible format that presents the highest quality digital audio and video available today. 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 confirm that all the accessories were included with the player. If you are new to DVD, it might be beneficial for you to go through the starting on page 9 to get familiar with the parts and buttons on the main unit and remote control as they will be referred to throughout this manual. There is also a list of terms that can be found on page 71 if you are having trouble understanding some of the terminology associated with DVD.

“Names and Functions”

section

DVD-Video

DVD-Audio

DVD-Audio discs are divided up into units known as groups, and each group is further divided into tracks. Generally speaking, a single song corresponds to a single track, however, tracks may also be divided into indexes. Menu screens and video material common to DVD-Video discs may also be included on some discs.

Group 1

Track 1

SACD/Video CD/CD

SACDs, 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, SACDs, Video CDs and CDs all considered to be a single title, regardless of the number of tracks.

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 36).

Digital Audio Connections

You can enjoy the digital audio recorded on DVD 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 22). Additionally, the digital audio settings can be adjusted manually in the Setup screen Audio 1 menu (pages 29 and 30).

• When recording digitally to an MD, CD recorder, DAT, etc., using a digital connection, we recommend using to the 1 COAX PCM jack.

• To enjoy Dolby Digital or DTS 5.1 channel audio, use the OPT (optical) or the 2 COAX jack. In addition to an AV amplifier with built-in Dolby Digital/DTS decoder, you’ll need a surround sound speaker system (main left/right, center, surround left/right and subwoofer).

DIGITAL OUT (Optical)

The digital signal is transmitted as light pulses through a fiber-optic cable.

• Use a fiber-optic cable (not supplied) to connect the digital optical output on the player to the digital optical input on an AV amplifier or receiver.

• The PDIF connection can transmit up to 2 channels of 192kHz/24-bit audio; 4 channels of 96kHz/24-bit audio; 6 channels of 96kHz/16-bit audio; or 6 channels of 48kHz/ 24-bit audio.

• Some discs may be copy protected: audio output from the PDIF jacks will be 48kHz or 44.1kHz/16-bit (2 channel) only. For 96kHz/24-bit and 192kHz/24-bit audio, connect the analog jacks in addition to the PDIF jacks (page 18).

• Some DVD-Audio discs are copy protected: no digital audio is output from the PDIF jacks when these discs are played. “PDIF PROHIBIT” appears in the display when these discs are played. In this case, connect using the analog outputs and switch the [Audio Out] setting on this player accordingly (page 31).

• When connected using PDIF, the speaker settings of this player are ignored (page 32).

5.1 CHANNEL AUDIO OUT

5.1 channel audio refers to the current industry surround sound standard requiring two front speakers, a center speaker, two surround (rear) speakers and a sub woofer. Although in actuality there are 6 channels, because the sub woofer channel, or LFE channel, makes up a mere fraction of the total audio soundtrack, it has been designated as the 0.1 of the 5.1 system.

By utilizing the player’s internal multichannel audio decoder, the audio of Dolby Digital, DTS and MPEG DVDs can be output from the 5.1 channel discrete outputs to an AV amplifier or receiver with 5.1 channel input capability.

• Use audio cables to make connections from the player’s Multichannel AUDIO OUT jacks to the equivalent input jacks on the AV amplifier or receiver. This type of amplifier or receiver may be referred to as “multichannel ready” or “Dolby Digital ready”.

• When making 5.1 channel analog audio connections, be sure to match the left and right channels on both components, and also make sure that the jacks of all the channels are connected correctly on both components.

• Either 2 single audio cords or a stereo cord may be used to connect the CENTER and SUB WOOFER channels to the AV amplifier or receiver.

• When making this kind of connection, be sure to select “5.1 Channel” in the Setup Navigator [Analog

Jacks] screen (page 21).

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.

• Occasionally, the number buttons may also be used to make

selections. If this is possible, using number buttons serves to directly select an option on a menu screen. Only number buttons are used to make selections on Video CD menu screens.

• When the Video CD has more than one menu, pages can be

advanced to or returned to with PREVIOUS 4 or NEXT ¢.

To play Video CDs without displaying menu screens

Video CDs with Playback Control (PBC) display a menu screen when play is started. It is possible, however, to play back Video CDs without displaying menu screens. When a Video CD with PBC is loaded, press STOP 7, and then the

number button of the track you want to play.

Using the Setup Screen Menus

The procedure on this page describes how to operate the menus on the Setup screen. These menus are used to set and adjust a number of system settings. The various functions that can be adjusted are covered throughout this manual. The procedure on this page provides a basic outline for using the Setup screen menus.

When setting up for the first time

It is recommended to set up player using the Setup Navigator (page 19). If you selected “Not Used” when the Setup Navigator appeared, you may still set up the player using the Setup Navigator in the General menu screen. If you choose not to use the Setup Navigator, be sure to make the necessary settings in the Setup screen Audio 1, Audio 2, Video, and Language menus as described on the following pages.

Some DVDs start playing automatically when loaded in the player. If a DVD has been loaded, be sure to press STOP 7 before proceeding.

Note

If the Setup screen is opened during playback of a DVD being viewed in the letter box format, the screen may switch to the wide screen format. This is not a malfunction, and the screen will return to normal when the Setup screen is closed.

If you have made digital audio connections to component(s) not equipped to decode the DTS digital bitstream, be sure to select “Off”. If a DTS signal is output without decoding, the output is digital noise that could potentially cause damage to your speakers.

This player is capable of outputting digital signals with a sampling frequency of 96 kHz. If you have made connections to a component capable of processing this signal rate, select “Down Sample Off” for the signal to be output as is. As some components are incapable of processing digital signal input with sampling rates of 96 kHz, selecting “Down Sample On” compresses the signal to a standard signal with a sampling rate of 48 kHz/44.1 kHz.

Setting Your Speaker System for Multichannel Audio Playback

This player contains a built-in decoder for Dolby Digital, DTS and MPEG audio sources as well as 5.1 channel discrete audio output. Ideally, a 5.1 channel system contains 6 speakers: 2 front speakers, 2 surround speakers, a center speaker, and a sub woofer. However, as this is not always the case, accurately setting [Speaker Setting] to reflect your speaker setup allows the player’s built-in decoder to reroute signals to compensate for absent speakers.

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 not made connections to the Multichannel AUDIO OUT jacks on the rear panel of the player, it is not necessary to make any changes to this setting.

Notes

• To help identify the speakers being selected, the initials of the speakers in the speaker system representation on the right side of the screen will appear in blue.

• When “On”, “Large” or “Small” is selected for a speaker or pair of speakers, the icons for those speakers turn yellow in the speaker system representation on the right side of the screen.

• If “Off” is selected for both [Center

Speaker] and [Surround Speaker], [Subwoofer] is automatically set to “Off”.

• When the sub woofer is “On”, the low range components of the center and surround signals will be mixed in the LFE signal and output from the SUB WOOFER jack.

• Regardless of the speaker setting, DVDAudio disc playback is performed as if the speakers are set to "Large".

• With DVD-Audio discs, if either [C], [LS], or [RS] is set to "Off", a forced 2 channel downmix is output (except in the case of DVD-Audio discs that prohibit downmixing of the audio signal).

Small : Select when small speakers are connected (Generally

determined by a cone size that is smaller than 12 cm in diameter.)

Off : Select when no speaker(s) is connected. On : Select when a sub woofer (SW) is connected.

4 Set the distance of the speakers so that the distance of each

speaker from the main listening position is the same.

Use the distance from the main listening position to the front L/R speakers as a reference distance by which to set the other speakers in your system. Set a negative distance when the selected speaker position is closer to the main listening position than the front L/R speakers, and a positive distance when the selected speaker position is further away from the main listening position than the front L/R speakers. For example, in a speaker system with front L/R speakers located 10 feet away from the main listening position, the center speaker about 10.5 feet away, and the rear speakers about 8 feet away, set the center speaker to "+0.5 feet" and both rear speakers to "-2.0 feet". The distance value can be adjusted as follows.

L/R : Cannot be adjusted. C/SW : -6.5ft. to +6.5ft. (0.5ft. increments) LS/RS : -20.0ft. to +6.5ft. (0.5ft. increments)

Notes

• When "Variable" is selected, the output level of all speakers is uniformly set to –6.0 dB. The output level of each speaker (center, surround, or sub woofer) can then be adjusted in the range of –6.0 dB to 6.0 dB. "6.0 dB" is the maximum level of "Variable" and also the level set for "Fix". Therefore, when "Variable" is selected, the output level will usually be lower than when the setting is set to "Fix".

• The "Variable" setting has no effect on CD and Video CD playback.

• The test tone is not output when the setting is set to "2 Channel" in the [Audio Out] setting (page 31), while the disc tray opens, or while a disc is playing.

DVD-Audio discs differ from other disc media in that they can be recorded with two different audio frequency systems, and these frequencies will switch in different playback conditions. Higher quality sound is achieved when the player automatically selects the 44.1 kHz (44.1 kHz/88.2 kHz/176.4 kHz) and 48 kHz (48 kHz/96 kHz/192 kHz) quartz-crystal oscillator in accordance with the sampling frequency of the source being played back. However, it is also possible to turn off the oscillator that is not being used. When this is done, there is no interference from the unused oscillator and degradation of sound quality can be prevented.

Settings: On (Select to have the unused oscillator turned off.)

Off (Select to keep both oscillators on to be used as necessary. (Factory Setting)

Notes

• 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.

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

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)”.

When viewing a wide screen TV or monitor

Please note that there are some wide screen letter box formats that place black bars at the top and bottom of the screen. This is not a malfunction.

When viewing a standard screen format DVD on a wide screen TV, black bars may be automatically placed at the side of the screen to adjust to the DVD format.

Standard screen format DVD (unnatural stretched effect)

If you are viewing a standard screen format DVD on a wide screen TV, the picture may appear ‘stretched’ on the screen. To remedy this condition, change your wide screen TV to display a standard (4:3) screen. Refer to the instructions supplied with your wide screen TV or monitor for more information.

ADVANCED FUNCTIONS

The “Pure Cinema” mode

DVD-Video discs are recorded using one of two types of video signal: “Video Master” signals are recorded at a rate of 30 frames per second. “Film Master” signals are recorded at a rate of 24 frames per second.

When a movie is shot, the film records the action at a rate of 24 frames per second (24 Hz). When DVD-Video discs are recorded using a film master, the [Pure Cinema] mode can convert these 24 recorded frames per second into a 60 frame per second progressive scan presentation resulting in a video image that best reflects the original film as recorded to the disc. Therefore, you can enjoy watching a cinematic presentation clearly and true to the original.

Generally, you will be able to enjoy watching movies and other presentations with [Pure Cinema] set to “Auto”. However, if the video image is jagged or shakes during playback of certain discs, switch the [Pure Cinema] setting to either “On” or “Off”.

You can confirm whether or not a DVDVideo disc is recorded using a film master (24 frames per second) on the disc information screen.

When a 24 frame per second film master progressive video image is recorded on the DVD Video disc, “#” is displayed.

To display the disc information screen, press DISPLAY on the remote control. Press DISPLAY repeatedly to display the screen shown above (page 61).

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.)

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.

Gently wipe from the inside toward the outer edge.

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 (heart-shaped 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.

CAUTION WHEN USING THE DISC

Page 67

For Proper and Long Use of This Unit

Additional Information

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. Press POWER on the front panel to turn the player off, and 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.

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 (OR OFF) 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 (off).

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 (11 ft.).

• If moisture or dust has collected on the plug, wipe it with a soft cloth before connecting.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

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.

Additional Information

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.

Bonus Group (DVD-Audio only)

Some DVD Audio discs have a group which is known as the "Bonus Group" that can be accessed by inputting a 4digit key number. When attempting to play a Bonus Group, the key number input screen is automatically displayed. Playback begins once the key number has been input. Additionally, you can set the key number using the Setup screen General menu beforehand.

Browsable pictures (DVD-Audio only)

A feature of some DVD-Audio discs in which the user can browse still pictures recorded on the disc as the audio is played. See also Slideshow.

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 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.

and PR) signals and then

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.

DNR (Digital Noise Reduction)

Digital noise reduction, in reference to video picture quality, refers to the detection and removal of digital artifacts, or errant video data, which appear as specks on the screen. When the digital noise reduction function of this player is on, some of this data can be detected and kept from appearing on the screen.

Dolby Digital

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.

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.

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.

Group (DVD-Audio only)

A collection of tracks on a DVD-Audio disc. Equivalent to a DVD-Video title. See also Title and Track.

Interlace scan

With interlace scan, the screen presentation is divided into odd and even scan lines. The first presentation (field) presents half of the screen . Before this image has faded from the screen, the other half of the presentation (frame) is displayed. The majority of TVs and monitors manufactured until recently have relied on the interlace scan system. In these operating instructions, the amount of interlace scan resolution is referred to followed by the letter "i" (for example, 525i).

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Additional Information

Linear PCM

Linear PCM (Linear Pulse Code Modulation) is one of the digital audio recording formats used for DVD. Though essentially the same format used for the audio recorded on CD, higher sampling rates of 48 kHz, 96 kHz, or the maximum 192 kHz used on DVD-Audio discs, produce a higher quality sound to enjoy listening to.

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.

PureCinema

Video on a DVD discs may be either video material (originally shot on video) or film material (originally shot on film). Video material has a frame rate of 30 frames/ sec., compared with 24 frames/sec. for film. This player converts film material to 60 frames/sec. (in progressive scan mode). PureCinema adjusts the picture so that it matches more closely the picture quality of a cinema screen. You can see whether video on a DVD disc is film or video material by displaying the video transmission rate. If a hash mark (#) appears above the transmission rate display, it is film material.

Regional restriction codes (region number)

Regional restriction codes are built in to DVD players and DVD video discs for each sales region. If the regional code of the DVD player does not match one of the regional codes of the DVD video 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.

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.

PDIF

PDIF (Pioneer Digital Interface) allows transmission of high-quality DVD-Audio signals. When this player is connected to the optional C-AX10 Digital Control Amplifier using a PDIF cable, multi-channel audio, high sampling rate (192kHz, 176.4kHz, etc.) audio, as well as regular 2 channel audio can be kept entirely digital through to the amplifier.

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

Unlike interlace scan that divides and converts the video into odd and even scan lines before presentation, progressive scan presents the entire picture one at a time as it is recorded on the DVD. When using a TV, monitor, or projector that has a large number of horizontal scan lines, exceptional picture quality can be achieved. In these operating instructions, the amount of progressive scan resolution is referred to followed by the letter "p" (for example, 525p).

SACD

Based on the CD format, SACD discs contain extra data resulting in high-quality, pure audio. There are three types of SACD: single-layer, double-layer and hybrid discs. Hybrid discs contain both CD and SACD format audio.

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.

Slideshow (DVD only)

A feature of some DVD discs in which still pictures recorded on the disc cycle automatically as the audio is played. See also Browsable pictures.

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.
