Features
BD-ROM playback
Blu-ray Disc is a next-generation video disc format featuring far higher disc capacity than conventional DVD. The higher capacity makes a whole range of new and enhanced features possible, such as support for high-definition video up to 1920 x 1080 pixels, high quality, surround sound audio, greater interactivity and richer content.
BD-ROM discs are commercially produced discs (Video Distribution format) that can contain movie and other video content, interactive content, enhanced menu features such as pop-up menus (press
MENU
during playback for these), full-color, high-definition animated buttons and animated menu transition effects, button sounds (sounds are played when menu buttons are selected or activated), high-definition bitmap subtitles supporting full-color images with frame-accurate animation effects up to full video frame rate, and so on.
While BD capacity is enough for most applications, the BD-ROM standard allows for content to be spread across several discs, removing the limit of one physical disc. Follow the on-screen instructions during playback when using these special kinds of discs.

Easy connections
This is a basic setup that allows you to watch discs on your TV using just the cables supplied.
Important
• 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.)
• Do not unplug the player from the power outlet while it is switched on.
• Do not plug this player into a switched power supply found on some amplifiers and AV receivers.
1 Connect the VIDEO OUT and one pair of AUDIO OUT jacks to a set of audio/video inputs on your TV.
Use the supplied red/white stereo audio and yellow video cables. Make sure you match up the left and right audio outputs with their corresponding inputs for correct stereo sound.
See Using other types of video output below if you want to use a different type of connection.
2 Connect the supplied AC power cord to the AC IN inlet, then plug into a power outlet.
Using other types of video output
This player has standard (composite), S-Video and component video outputs, as well as an HDMI connector (for digital video/audio).
In order to be able to watch HD (high definition) BDs at their full resolution, you should connect the player to your TV using either the component video output, or (even better) the HDMI output.
An HDMI connection will additionally give you HD output when watching DVDs.
If your display has neither of these connection types, an S-Video jack is also provided, which should give slightly better video quality than using the standard video output.

Connecting for HDMI output
If you have an HDMI or DVI (with HDCP) equipped monitor or display, you can connect it to this player using a commercially available HDMI cable.
The HDMI connector outputs uncompressed digital video, as well as most digital audio formats.
Important
• This unit has been designed to be compliant with HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface). Depending on the component you have connected, using a DVI connection may result in unreliable signal transfers.
• If you change the display connected to the HDMI output, you will also need to change the Output Format settings to match the new display (see Changing the video output format on page 14 to do this).
• The HDMI connection is compatible with 8-channel linear PCM signals (44.1 kHz to 192 kHz
bitstream and DTS (5.1 channel signals) bitstream.
• Depending on the HDMI cable being used, 1080p output may not appear correctly.
If you connect a DVI device to the HDMI output of this player, ensure that it is compliant with High Definition Content Protection (HDCP).
If you choose to connect to a DVI connector, you will need a separate adaptor (DVIHDMI) to do so. A DVI connection, however, does not support audio signals. Consult your local audio dealer for more information.

• The arrow on the cable connector body should be face up for correct alignment with the connector on the player.
After switching on the player you may need to set the video output format and HDMI color space for compatibility with your display. See Changing the video output format on page 14 and HDMI Color Space in Using the Initial Setup menu on page 41.
About HDMI
HDMI supports both standard and high-definition video, plus standard and multi-channel surround-sound audio. HDMI features include uncompressed digital video, one connector (instead of several cables and connectors), and communication between the AV source and AV devices such as DTVs.
HDMI was developed to provide the technologies of High Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) as well as Digital Visual Interface (DVI) in one specification. HDCP is used to protect digital content transmitted and received by DVI-compliant displays.
HDMI, the HDMI logo and High-Definition Multimedia Interface are trademarks or registered trademarks of HDMI Licensing, LLC.
Note
1 192 kHz output is limited to 2 channels.

• If the contours of the displayed subjects look jagged or blurred, try setting the Output Format to 480i. (If you connected this player to your TV with the HDMI connection and the picture disappears when you switch the Output Format to 480i, use the component connection with the 480i Output Format or S-Video, the standard composite connection instead.)
• Note that when using a Component Video connection with a TV or other AV component (not using HDMI), 480/60i video may be output in 480/60p.
24p output
For smooth presentation of 1080/24p or 720/24p video with an HDMI-equipped display compatible with 1080/24p input, set 24p Direct Out on this player to On (see page 41).
This player will output 1080/24p video over HDMI in the following cases:
• 1080/24p video: When Output Format is set to Auto or Source Direct.
• 720/24p video: When Output Format is set to Auto.
Note
• Even when 24p Direct Out is set to On, if a TV not compatible with 1080/24p video is connected, the actual frame frequency of the video output will be 60 Hz.
• The video output will be interrupted when switching the video output from 1080/24p or 720/24p to other output resolutions, or when switching to 1080/24p or 720/24p from other output resolutions.

you should hear the plug click into position when fully inserted. Take care not to force the plug as this may damage the shutter, the cable and/or the player.
Coaxial connection: Use a coaxial cable (not supplied) to connect the DIGITAL AUDIO OUTCOAXIAL jack to a coaxial input on your AV receiver.
Note
• Linear PCM audio output over the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jacks is limited to 2 ch, 48 kHz.
Analog connections
• Connect the AUDIO OUT (5.1ch) jacks on this player to the multi-channel analog inputs on your AV receiver.
Use a dedicated six-way cable (not supplied), or three sets of stereo cables (not supplied) to connect the six channels.
Check carefully that each channel is connected to its corresponding channel on the AV receiver.
After connecting, you can make settings for the number of speakers connected to your system—see the Speakers section of the Initial Setup menu on page 43 and Speaker Setup on page 45.
Connecting for surround sound
This player offers both analog and digital connections for surround sound. The digital outputs (coaxial and optical) provide a convenient way to connect this player to an AV receiver with built-in Dolby Digital and/or DTS decoders. The 5.1ch analog outputs can be used to connect to an AV receiver with multi-channel analog audio inputs.
Check the operating instructions that came with your AV receiver for more on these connections.

Network connection
This player can be connected to a local area network (LAN) via the Ethernet port on the rear panel.
After making the physical connection the player needs to be set up for network communication. This is done from the Initial Setup menu—see Setting up for network use on page 21 for detailed instructions.
For best performance, we recommend using a 100BASE-TX compatible PC and Ethernet hub.
Connecting via an Ethernet hub
If you already operate one or more PCs on a local area network, you can integrate this player by connecting it to the Ethernet hub using a standard (also known as “straight through”) type CAT-5 LAN (Ethernet) cable (not supplied).
In the example configuration below, this player would be able to access content from either of the PCs.
Controlling this player via another Pioneer component
The CONTROL IN jack allows you to control this player via the remote control sensor of another Pioneer component—typically an AV receiver—that has a CONTROL OUT jack. Remote control signals are passed through to the player from the remote sensor of the other component, allowing you greater freedom in the placement of your player.
• Use a miniplug cord (not supplied) to connect the CONTROL IN jack of this player with the CONTROL OUT jack of your other Pioneer component.
Connecting directly to a PC
If you only need to use one PC to act as a media server, you can connect this player directly to the PC using a crossed (also known as a “cross-over”) type CAT-5 LAN (Ethernet) cable (not supplied).
Using an external IR receiver with this player
If you prefer to keep your AV equipment in a closed cabinet, you can use an external IR receiver (such as a Niles or Xantech unit) connected to the IR IN jack. You can thus have just the receiver outside of the cabinet and still be able to control the player.
Tip
• You may need to set the IR RECEIVER switch (located under the IR IN jack) for this player to recognize the IR receiver correctly.
• This player does not supply power to the external IR receiver. Please see the operating instructions of the IR receiver for the power requirements.
