English

The setup described here is a basic setup that allows you to play discs using just the cables supplied with the player. In this setup, stereo audio is played through your TV.

• This player is equipped with copy protection technology. Do not connect this player to your TV via a VCR using AV cables, as the picture from this player will not appear properly on your TV. (This player may also not be compatible with some combination TV/VCRs for the same reason; refer to the manufacturer for more information.)

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

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

See the next page if you want to use an S-video, component or a D video connection.

• If you need another pair of stereo outputs (and don’t need to use the multichannel analog outputs), you can use the AUDIO OUT (5.1ch) FRONT

L / R jacks (page 13).

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

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

panel

STANDBY/ON button, or the

remote control, and wait of the -OFF- 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 Up02

Using other types of video output

This player has standard (composite), S-video and component video outputs. The main difference between them is the quality of the picture. S-video delivers a better picture than standard composite video, while component video gives better picture quality still. The variety of outputs also gives you the flexibility of connecting your particular equipment using the best connection type available.

Connecting using an S-video output

You can use the S-video output instead of the VIDEO OUT jack to connect this player to your TV (or other equipment).

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

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

S-VIDEO

INPUT

Connecting using the AV connector output

If your TV has a SCART-type AV input, you can use a SCART cable to connect this player to your TV. This type of connection carries both the sound and the picture, so there’s no need to connect up the AUDIO OUT L/R and VIDEO OUT jacks.

¶ Use a SCART cable (not supplied) to connect the AV CONNECTOR 1 (RGB)-TV to an AV input on your TV.

• My TV doesn’t have any inputs to connect the DVD player. How can I watch DVDs?

Unfortunately, if your TV has no inputs you can’t use this player with it.

• 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.

Setting the TV System

The default setting of this player is AUTO, and unless you notice that the picture is distorted when playing some discs, you should leave it set to AUTO. If you experience picture distortion with some discs, set the TV system to match your country or region’s system. Doing this, however, may restrict the kinds of disc you can watch. The table below shows what kinds of disc are compatible with each setting (AUTO, PAL and NTSC).

1 If the player is on, press ON to switch it to standby.

2 Using the front panel controls, hold down ¡ ¢ then press to switch the TV system.

The TV system changes as follows:

AUTO = NTSC

NTSC = PAL

PAL = AUTO

The player’s display shows the new setting.

• You have to switch the player into standby (press

STANDBY/ON) before

each change.

STANDBY/

STANDBY/ON

Watching NTSC on a PAL TV

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.

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.

Getting Started

• 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 page 9.

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 page 63. Check also that the disc is aligned properly in the disc tray and that it’s loaded label-side up.

• 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 page 63 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-ROM. See page 8 for more on disc compatibility.

• There’s no picture!

Check the front panel and make sure that the VIDEO OFF indicator isn’t lit. If it is, press the VIDEO OFF button to switch the video output back on. See also page 16.

• I have a widescreen TV so why are there black bars at the top and bottom of the screen when I play some discs?

Some movie formats are such that even when played on a widescreen TV, black 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

English

player to show widescreen DVDs in pan & scan format, so why do I still get black bars top and bottom with some discs?

Some discs override the display preferences of the player, so even if you have 4:3 (Pan & Scan) selected, those discs will still be shown in letterbox format. This is not a malfunction.

• My AV receiver is definitely compatible with 96/88.2kHz Linear PCM audio, but it doesn’t seem to work with this player. What’s wrong?

For digital copy-protection purposes, some 96/88.2kHz DVD discs only output digital audio downsampled to 48/44.1kHz. This is not a malfunction. To fully take advantage of the high sampling rate audio, connect the analog audio outputs to your amplifier/receiver.

• Why can’t I hear SACD audio through the digital outputs?

SACD audio is only available through the analog outputs. This is not a malfunction. Some DVD-Audio discs too only output audio through the analog outputs.

• Is it better to listen to DVD-Audio discs through the analog outputs?

Some DVD-Audio discs do not output anything through the digital outputs, and multichannel discs are downmixed to stereo for the digital output. In addition, high sampling rate DVD-Audio discs (higher than 96kHz) automatically downsample audio output from the digital outputs.

Using the multichannel analog audio outputs for DVD-Audio have none of these limitations.

Getting Started04

• My DVD-Audio disc starts playing, but then suddenly stops!

The disc may have been illegally copied.

• My CD with MP3 tracks won’t play!

Also make sure that the tracks are encoded in MPEG1 audio layer 3 format. See also page 8–9.

• Some MP3 tracks don’t show up. Where are they?

File names that don’t end with the extension “.mp3” won’t be recognized by this player. Also, if there are more than 250 folders or tracks on the disc, only the first 250 are recognized. See also

pages 8-9.

Playing Discs

Introduction

Most of the features described in this chapter make use of on-screen displays. For an explanation of how to navigate these, see Using the on-screen displays on page 23.

Many of the functions covered in this chapter apply to DVD and SACD discs, Video CDs, CDs and MP3 discs, although the exact operation of some varies slightly with the kind of disc loaded.

Some DVD discs restrict the use of some functions (random or repeat, for example). This is not a malfunction.

When playing Video CDs, some of the functions are not available during PBC playback. If you want to use them, start the disc playing using a number button to select a track.

Using the Disc Navigator to browse the contents of a disc

Use the Disc Navigator to browse through the contents of a disc to find the part you want to play. You can use the Disc Navigator when a disc is playing or stopped.

1 Press SETUP and select ‘Disc Navigator’ from the on-screen display.

Alternatively, if a DVD-RW, CD, Video CD or MP3 disc is loaded, you can press MENU, which takes you straight to the Disc Navigator screen.

When watching Dolby Digital DVDs at low volume, it’s easy to lose the quieter sounds completely—including some of the dialog. Switching Audio DRC (Dynamic Range Control) to On can help by bringing up the quieter sounds, while controlling loud peaks.

How much of a difference you hear depends on the material you’re listening to. If the material doesn’t have wide variations in volume, you may not notice much change.

1 Press SETUP and select ‘Audio Settings’ from the on-screen display.

• Audio DRC is only effective with Dolby Digital audio sources.

• Audio DRC is only effective through the digital output when Digital Out is set to

On, and Dolby Digital Out is set to Dolby Digital > PCM. See page 49.

If you have a conventional TV, select either 4:3 (Letter Box) or 4:3 (Pan & Scan). In Letter Box mode, widescreen software is shown with black bars at the top and bottom of the screen. Pan & Scan chops the sides off widescreen material to make it fit the 4:3 screen (so even though the image looks larger on the screen, you’re actually seeing less of the picture). See also page 65.

Some DVD Video discs feature a Parental Lock level. If your player is set to a lower level than the disc, the disc won’t play. This gives you some control about what your children watch on your DVD player.

Some discs also support the country code feature. The player does not play certain scenes on these discs, depending on the country code you set.

Before you can set the Parental Lock level or the country code you must register a password. As the password owner, you can change the Parental Lock level or country code whenever you like. You can also change the password.

• Not all discs that you may consider inappropriate for your children use the Parental Lock feature. These discs will always play without requiring the password first.

• If you forget your password, you’ll need to reset the player to it’s factory settings (page 65), then register a new pass- word.

If a constant image is displayed on a conventional CRT-type TV, it can ‘burn in’ leaving a ghost image on the screen. Switch to On to make sure that a constant image is not displayed for a dangerously long time.

Additional Information

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.

English

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 sharp-tipped 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.

Wipe lightly from the center of the disc using straight strokes.

Don’t wipe the disc surface using circular 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.

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 the unit.

This unit 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.

Additional Information09

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 unit 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 tempera-

tures 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.

✗ 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 on the front panel to turn

the player off. Wait for --OFF-- to disappear from the display, then unplug the power cord. Never lift or move the unit during playback—discs rotate at a high speed and may be damaged.

Power cord caution

Handle the power cord by the plug part. 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, or other object on the power cord or pinch the cord in any other way. Never make a knot in the cord or tie it with other cords. The power cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be stepped on. A damaged power cord can cause a fire or give you an electric shock. Check the power cord once in a while. If you find it damaged, ask your nearest Pioneer authorized service center or your dealer for a replacement.

Additional Information

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 TV Screen setting (page 51) 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 ‘letterbox’ style with black bars at the top and bottom of the screen.

Standard TV users

If you have a standard TV, the TV Screen setting (page 51) of this player should be set to 4:3 (Letter Box) or 4:3 (Pan&Scan), depending on which you prefer.

Set to 4:3 (Letter Box), widescreen discs are shown with black bars top and bottom.

Set to 4:3(Pan&Scan), widescreen discs are

English

shown with the left and right sides cropped. Although the image looks larger, you don’t actually see the whole picture.

Please note that many widescreen discs override the player’s settings so that the disc is shown in letterbox format regardless of the setting.

• Using the 16:9 (Wide) setting with a standard 4:3 TV, or either of the 4:3 settings with a widescreen TV, will result in a distorted picture.

Resetting the player

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.

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). See also page 51.

Bonus Group (DVD-Audio only)

An ‘extra’ group on some DVD-Audio discs that requires a key number to access. See also page 58.

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.

Dolby Digital 1

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.

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

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.

File extension

A tag added to the end of a filename to indicate the type of file. For example, “.mp3” indicates an MP3 file. See also page 8–9.

Interlaced video

A method of displaying a picture in which odd-numbered lines are updated in one pass, then even-numbered lines updated in the next.

MP3

MP3 (MPEG1 audio layer 3) is a compressed audio file format. Files are recognized by their file extension “.mp3” or “.MP3”. See also pages 8–9.

Additional Information

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.

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.

Packed PCM (DVD-Audio only)

A lossless compression system that enables more PCM audio to be stored on a DVDAudio disc than would otherwise be possible.

PCM (Pulse Code Modulation)

The most common system of encoding digital audio, found on CDs and DAT. Excellent quality, but requires a lot of data compared to formats such as Dolby Digital and MPEG audio. For compatibility with digital audio recorders (CD, MD and DAT) and AV amplifiers with digital inputs, this unit can convert Dolby Digital, DTS and MPEG audio to PCM.

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.

S1 S-video output

English

This S-video signal format includes aspect ratio information (4:3 or 16:9) within the video signal. TVs which are compatible with S1 S-video automatically switch aspect ratio according to the signal. See also page 52.

S2 S-video output

S2 is an enhanced version of S-video which, in addition to aspect ratio information, contains letterbox / pan & scan information. Widescreen TVs which are compatible with S2 S-video automatically switch aspect ratio according to the signal. See also page 52.

Sampling frequency

The rate at which sound is measured to be turned into digital audio data. The higher the rate, the better the sound quality, but the more digital information is generated. Standard CD audio has a sampling frequency of 44.1kHz, which means 44,100 samples (measurements) per second.

Slidshow (DVD, Video CD)

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.

Super Audio CD (SACD)

Super Audio CD is a high quality audio disc format that can accomodate high sampling rate stereo and multi-channel audio, as well as conventional CD audio all on the same disc.

Regions (DVD-Video only)

These associate discs and players with particular areas of the world. This unit will only play discs that have compatible region codes. You can find the region code of your unit by looking on the rear panel. Some discs are compatible with more than one region (or all regions). See also page 9.

Additional Information09

Configuración del televisor

La configuración predeterminada de este reproductor es AUTO y, a mesnos que note que la imagen aparece distorsionada al reproducir algunos discos, debería dejarla como AUTO. Si la imagen aparece distorsionada con algunos discos, configure el televisor para que coincida con la región o país del sistema. Aunque si lo hace, puede restringir los tipos de disco que puede ver. La tabla inferior muestra qué tipos de discos son compatibles con cada configuración (AUTO, PAL y NTSC).

1 Si el reproductor está encendido,

STANDBY/ON para ponerlo en

pulse modo de espera.

2 Mediante los controles de panel frontal, mantenga pulsado ¡ ¢ y pulse

STANDBY/ON para conmutar el

televisor.

El televisor conmuta de esta manera:

AUTO = NTSC

NTSC = PAL

PAL = AUTO

El visualizador del reproductor muestra el nuevo ajuste.

Visionado de NTSC en un televisor PAL

La mayoría de nuevos modelos de televisores con la norma PAL detectan la señal de 50 Hz (PAL)/60 Hz (NTSC) y automáticamente conmutan la amplitud vertical, lo que da como resultado una imagen sin contracción vertical.

Si su televisor PAL no dispone de un control V-Hold, es posible que no pueda ver discos NTSC debido al desplazamiento sucesivo de la imagen. Si el televisor dispone de un control V-Hold, ajústelo hasta que la imagen deje de desplazarse.

En algunos televisores, las imágenes pueden contraerse verticalmente dejando franjas negras en la parte superior e inferior de la pantalla. Esto no es un fallo de funcionamiento; se debe a la conversión de NTSC a PAL.

Nota

• Debe conmutar el reproductor al modo de espera (pulse

STANDBY/ON)

antes de cada cambio.

Debería familiarizarse con ellos, ya que los usará al configurar el reproductor, al usar algunas de las funciones de reproducción, como reproducción de programas, y al configurar valores más avanzados para audio y vídeo.

La forma de navegación por las pantallas es prácticamente la misma: usando los botones del puntero para cambiar el elemento resaltado y pulsando ENTER para seleccionarlo.

• En el manual, ‘seleccionar’ significa usar los botones del puntero para resaltar un elemento en pantalla y, a continuación, pulsar ENTER.

ENTER

• Información en la parte inferior de todas las que OSD explica el elemento de menú seleccionado actualmente y muestra los botones que se pueden usar para esa pantalla.

Configuración con Setup Navigator (Aj. Navegación)

El uso de Setup Navigator (Aj. Navegación) permite configurar otros valores iniciales para el reproductor. Es recomendable usar Setup Navigator (Aj. Navegación), especialmente si ha conectado el reproductor a un receptor AV para reproducir sonido envolvente. Si tiene dudas acerca de los formatos de audio digital, debe consultar las instrucciones del receptor AV.

1 Si se está reproduciendo un disco, pulse 7 (detención).

Encienda el televisor y compruebe que está configurado en la entrada de vídeo correcta.
