1 Connect the VIDEO OUT and AUDIO OUT (2ch) jacks to a set of A/V inputs on your TV.

Use the supplied audio/video cable, connecting the red and white plugs to the audio outputs and the yellow plug to the video output. Make sure you match up the left and right audio outputs with their corresponding inputs for correct stereo sound.

See below if you want to use a component or S-video cable for the video connection.

• If you need another pair of stereo outputs (and don’t need to use the multichannel analog outputs), you can use the

OUT (5.1ch) FRONT L / R

AUDIO

jacks (page 13).

2 Connect the supplied AC power cable to the AC IN inlet, then plug into a power outlet.

Note

• Before unplugging the player from the power outlet, make sure you first switch it into standby using either the front panel

control, and wait of the

button, or the remote

message to



disappear from the player’s display.

• For the above reasons, do not plug this player into a switched power supply found on some amplifiers and AV receivers.

Connecting using a SCART AV cable

A SCART-type AV connector is provided for connection to a TV or AV receiver. The video output is switchable between ordinary composite, S-video and RGB. See

Out

on page 35 for how to set it.

AV Connector

The SCART AV connector also outputs analog audio, so there is no need to also connect the

AUDIO OUT L/R

SCART

jacks.

1 Use a SCART cable (not supplied) to connect the AV CONNECTOR (RGB) output to a SCART AV input on your TV (or AV receiver).

Connecting using the S-video output

If your TV (or other equipment) has an S-video (S1) input, you can use the S-video output on this player instead of the standard (composite) output for a better quality picture.

• Use an S-video cable (not supplied) to connect the S-VIDEO OUT to an S-video input on your TV (or monitor or AV receiver).

Line up the small triangle above the jack with the same mark on the plug before plugging in.

Watching progressive scan video from the component video outputs

This player can output progressive scan video from the component video output. Compared to interlace video, progressive scan video effectively doubles the scanning rate of the picture, resulting in a very stable, flicker-free image.

To set up the player for use with a progressive scan TV, see When the player is set to output progressive scan video, the front panel display.

• If you connect a TV that is not compatible with a progressive scan signal and switch the player to progressive, you will not be able to see any picture at all. In this case, switch everything off and reconnect using the supplied video cable (see

Consumers should note that not all highdefinition television sets are fully compatible with this product and may cause artifacts to be displayed in the picture. In case of 525 progressive scan picture problems, it is recommended that the user switch the connection to the ‘standard definition’ output (Interlace). If there are questions regarding our TV set compatibility with this model, please contact our customer service center.

This player is compatible with the following Pioneer displays and monitors:

PDP-504HDE, PDP-434HDE

Connecting to an AV receiver

You can connect this player to your AV receiver using the multichannel analog outputs or one of the digital outputs.

In addition to these connections, you should also connect the 2 channel analog outputs for compatibility with all discs.

You’ll probably also want to connect a video output to your AV receiver. You can use any of the video outputs available on this player (the illustration shows a standard (composite) connection).
