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.

Differences in Disc

How to Proceed in This

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.

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 “Before Using” on page 8 to 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 “Names and Functions” section starting on page 10 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 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 16 shows how video and audio connections may be made to suit your home entertainment system.

Super VCD/Video CD/CD

Super VCDs, Video CDs and CDs are divided into units referred to as tracks (Super VCD and 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. Super VCDs/ 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, Super VCDs, Video CDs and CDs are considered to be a single title, regardless of the number of tracks.

Track 1 Track 2 Track 3 Track 4

Super VCD/Video CD

Track 1 Track 2

Track 3 Track 4 Track 5

Set up the necessary player menus.

Before you can begin to enjoy the benefits of the DVD format, you should 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 22 explains how to use the Setup screen menus as well as how to make the necessary initial adjustments. The Setup screen menus are used in a number of functions. Learning the procedure for operating the 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, Super VCD, Video CD, or CD with the player. The section “Getting Started Using Your DVD Player” starting on page 26 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 “Advanced Functions” starting on page 46 describes how to use the features available on many DVDs.

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 projection 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 the following pages. 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 23). Additionally, you can use the [TV Screen] setting in the Setup screen Video menu (page 34).

Notes

• When making connections to this unit or when changing connections, check that the unit is in standby (off) by pressing

STANDBY/ON (POWER), and unplug the power cord from

the power outlet.

Audio Connections

This player features two digital (optical and coaxial) and also analog 2 channel and 5.1 channel audio output connection possibilities.

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.

DIGITAL OUT (Coaxial)

The digital signal is transmitted electronically through a coaxial cable.

• Use to connect to an AV amplifier or receiver with

built-in Dolby Digital, DTS, or MPEG decoder.

• Use a coaxial cable (not supplied) to connect the

coaxial digital output on the player to the coaxial digital input on an AV amplifier or receiver.

AV amplifier or receiver with built-in Dolby Digital, DTS, or MPEG decoder

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 the [Digital Jack] setting in the Setup Navigator to best reflect the type of system you are using (page 25). Additionally, the digital audio settings can be adjusted manually in the Setup screen Audio 1 menu (page 33).

DIGITAL OUT (Optical)

The digital signal is transmitted as light pulses through a optical cable.

• Use to connect to an AV amplifier or receiver with built-in Dolby Digital, DTS, or MPEG decoder.

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

You can also manually set the output in the [Audio Out] setting of the Setup screen Audio 2 menu (page 31).

Notes

• When “5.1 Channel” is selected, the front right (R) and front left (L) audio channels output from the AUDIO OUT (2 CH) analog jacks (page 31).

• The [Audio Out] setting creates an audio output default for the player. If connections are made to both AUDIO OUT (2 CH) and AUDIO OUT (5.1 CH) analog jacks to make different audio connections for multichannel and stereo audio sources, it is possible to switch between 2 channel and 5.1 channel audio output by pressing 5.1 CH MODE on the front panel. However, this button does not work when the GUI indicator is lit.

2 CHANNEL AUDIO OUT

• Make analog audio connections to a stereo amplifier

or receiver.

• Analog audio connections can also be made to a TV or

monitor with stereo input jacks.

• Use the supplied audio cable to connect one of the

AUDIO OUT (2 CH) analog jacks on the player to the audio input on the stereo amplifier or receiver.

• When making analog audio connections, be sure to

match the color of the plugs with the color of the jacks (red and white).

Stereo amplifier or receiver

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 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 AUDIO OUT (5.1 CH) jacks to the equivalent input jacks on the AV amplifier or receiver.

• 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.

• If your PAL TV does not have a V-Hold control, you may not be able to view NTSC disc because the picture may 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 = PAL conversion.

Although this differs depending on the disc, pressing MENU, TOP MENU, or RETURN during DVD playback or RETURN during Super VCD/Video CD playback displays the menu screen. Refer to the DVD or Super VCD/Video CD disc jacket and accompanying documentation for more information.

To navigate a menu screen

• Although individual DVD titles may differ, when a menu screen is displayed, use the cursor buttons (2/ 3/5/∞) and ENTER on the remote control. The cursor buttons are used to move around the options on the screen and ENTER is used for selection.

• 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 Super VCD/Video CD menu screens.

• When the Super VCD/Video CD has more than one menu, pages can be advanced to or returned to with PREVIOUS 4 or NEXT ¢.

Note

If a Super VCD does not comply with the IEC standards, the player may stop unexpectedly when the menu screen is displayed. If this happens, set the PLAYBACK CONTROL function to “OFF” and then use the Super VCD.

To play Super VCDs/Video CDs without displaying menu screens

Super VCDs/Video CDs with Playback Control (PBC) display a menu screen when play is started. It is possible, however, to playback Super VCDs/Video CDs without displaying menu screens. When a Super VCD/Video CD with PBC is loaded, press PLAYBACK CONTROL, and then the number button of the track you want to play.

Improving Picture Quality

If the video picture of a DVD or Super VCD/Video CD displays a lot of video noise (tiny flecks or spots on that appear randomly and briefly on the screen), using this player’s video noise reduction feature may be able to reduce the amount of video noise and improve the overall quality of the video image.

for Multichannel Audio Playback

This player contains a built-in decoder for Dolby Digital sources as well as 5.1 channel discrete audio output that can be used to make connections to an amplifier or receiver with the corresponding inputs. 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 the [Speaker Setting] setting to reflect your speaker setup allows the player’s built-in decoder to reroute signals to compensate for absent speakers.

Make adjustments in the [Speaker Setting] setting in the Setup screen Audio 2 menu.

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 5.1 CH OUT jacks on the rear panel of the player, it is not necessary to make any changes to this setting.

Setting the TV Screen Size

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

Make changes to the TV screen size in the [TV Screen] setting in the Setup screen Video menu. 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.

• 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.

Differences in screen sizes and DVD/Super VCD 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/Super VCD.

The settings in the [TV Screen] setting are perhaps most applicable when the DVD/Super VCD 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)”.

Note

When playing Super VCDs, even if 4:3 (Letter Box) is selected in the [TV Screen] setting, the disc will be shown in Pan & Scan format.

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.

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.

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

copying is a violation of applicable laws.

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.

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

For Proper and Long Use of This Unit

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 discs and return the disc table to its original position in the player. Then, press on the remote control to switch the power to standby. Check that the “--OFF--” indication on the display goes off, then press POWER (for models with a POWER switch) to switch the power off, and 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)

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 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).

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.

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.

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.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Terms

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.

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 (PB and PR) signals and then 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.

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.

Dolby Digital

The maximum 5.1 channels of audio used in the surround system (Surround Digital) for movie theaters is digital data compressed by the third generation algorithm encoder, AC-3.

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, as well as CDs. In order to enjoy the benefits of DTS encoded discs, the digital output jack (either coaxial or optical) of this player needs to be connected to an AV amplifier or receiver or to a DTS decoder to be able to enjoy the surround sound of DTS audio. DTS audio is not output from the analog audio outputs.

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.

Karaoke mode

This mode is used when you desire to enjoy Karaoke. There is no digital output when using in the Karaoke mode. Set to the Normal mode when desiring to enjoy movies or music.

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.

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.

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.

Multiple Languages

On DVDs, you can select the language on when watching movies or other media that have multiple language and/or audio soundtracks recorded on them. Up to 8 different language and/or audio soundtracks can be recorded on a DVD disc.

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.

Multi-Language Subtitles

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.

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.

PCM

PCM stands for Pulse Code Modulation and is digital audio. The digital audio of CDs is PCM. This player also has a function that converts Dolby Digital and MPEG digital bitstreams into PCM to enable you to listen to quality digital sound even without a special decoder.

Playback Control (PBC)

This refers to signals recorded on a Video CD (Version

2.0) or Super VCD 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.

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.

System control

When you connect this player via a cord with a mini plug to another Pioneer component such as a receiver or an amplifier bearing the Î mark, you can control the player as though it were a component in a system. To control the player, point the player’s remote control at the component that the player is connected to, and not the player itself.

Title number

DVD discs are divided into units referred to as titles, and titles are divided into chapters. Menu screens do not belong to any title. A disc which contains a movie may have only one title with many or no chapter divisions. Karaoke discs may have many titles, assigning a title to each song on the disc.

Regional restriction codes (region number)

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