be compatible with software bearing one or

more of the following logos:

• KODAK Picture CD

•

is a trademark of Fuji Photo Film Co.

Ltd.

This player supports the IEC’s Super VCD

standard. Compared to the Video CD stan-

dard, Super VCD offers superior picture

quality, and allows two stereo soundtracks to

be recorded. Super VCD also supports the

widescreen size.

Other formats, including but not limited to the

following, are not playable in this player:

DVD-Audio / SACD / DVD-RAM

DVD-ROM / CD-ROM

Except those that contain MP3, WMA or

JPEG. See also Compressed audio compat-

ibility and JPEG file compatibility below.

DVD-R/RW and CD-R/RW discs (Audio CDs

and Video CD/Super VCDs) recorded using a

DVD recorder, CD recorder or personal

computer may not be playable on this unit.

This may be caused by a number of possibili-

ties, including but not limited to: the type of

disc used; the type of recording; damage, dirt

or condensation on either the disc or the

player’s pick-up lens. See below for notes

about particular software and formats.

CD-R/RW compatibility

•This unit will play CD-R and CD-RW discs

recorded in CD Audio or Video CD/Super

VCD format, or as a CD-ROM containing

MP3, WMA or JPEG files. However, any

other content may cause the disc not to

play, or create noise/distortion in the

output.

• This unit cannot record CD-R or CD-RW

discs.

• Unfinalized CD-R/RW discs recorded as

CD Audio can be played, but the full Table

of Contents (playing time, etc.) will not be

displayed.

DVD-R/RW compatibility

recorded using the DVD-Video format that

have been finalized using a DVD-recorder.

•This unit will play DVD-RW discs recorded

Before you start

•The CD-ROM used to compile your WMA/

MP3 files must be ISO 9660 Level 1 or 2

compliant. CD physical format: Mode1,

Mode2 XA Form1. Romeo and Joliet file

systems are both compatible with this

player.

• Use CD-R or CD-RW media for recording

your files. The disc must be finalized (i.e.

the session must be closed) in order to

play in this unit. This player is not compat-

ible with multi-session discs. Only the first

session of a multi-session disc will be

recognized.

• This player only plays tracks that are

named with the file extension .mp3,

.MP3, .wma, or .WMA.

• When naming MP3 and WMA files, add

the corresponding file name extension

(.mp3 or .wma). Files are played

according to the file extension. To prevent

noise and malfunctions, do not use these

extensions for other kinds of files.

• This player can recognize up to 999 files

(WMA/MP3/JPEG) and up to 499 folders.

If a disc exceeds these limits, only files

and folders up to these limits will be play-

able. Files and folders are read/displayed

in alphabetical order. Note that if the file

structure is very complex, you may not be

able to read/play all files on the disc.

•Folder and track names (excluding the file

extension) are displayed.

• There are many different recording bit-

rates available to encode MP3 files. This

unit was designed to be compatible with

all of them. Audio encoded at 128Kbps

should sound close to regular CD Audio

quality. This player will play lower bit-rate

files, but please note that the sound

quality becomes noticeably worse at

lower bit-rates.

JPEG file compatibility

• Baseline JPEG and EXIF 2.1* still image

files up to 8 mega-pixels are supported

(maximum vertical and horizontal resolu-

tion is 5120 pixels). (*

File format used by

named with the file extension .jpg or

.JPG.

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 CD/Super VCDs, some of

the functions are not available during PBC

Alternatively, if a VR format DVD-RW, CD,

Video CD/Super VCD or WMA/MP3/JPEG disc

is loaded, you can press

, which takes

you straight to the Disc Navigator screen.

2 Select what you want to play.

Depending on the type of disc you have

loaded, the Disc Navigator looks slightly

different.

Connecting to an AV receiver

To enjoy multichannel surround sound you

need to connect this player to an AV receiver

using a digital output. This player has both

coaxial and optical digital jacks; use which-

ever is convenient.

In addition to a digital connection, we recom-

mend also connecting using the stereo

analog connection.

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).

1 Connect one of DIGITAL AUDIO OUT

jacks on this player to a digital input on

your AV receiver.

This enables you to listen to multichannel

surround sound.

For an optical connection, use an optical

cable (not supplied) to connect the

OPTICAL

DIGITAL AUDIO OUT

jack to an optical input

on your AV receiver.

For a coaxial connection, use a coaxial cable

(similar to the supplied video cable) to

connect the

COAXIAL DIGITAL AUDIO OUT

jack to a coaxial input on your AV receiver.

2 Connect the analog AUDIO OUT L/R

and VIDEO OUT jacks on this player to a

set of analog audio and video inputs on

your AV receiver.

The diagram shows standard video connec-

tions, but you can alternatively use the

S-video or component video connections if

they’re available.

3 Connect the AV receiver’s video

output to a video input on your TV.

• You usually have to connect the same

kind of video cable between your DVD

player and AV receiver, and between your

AV receiver and TV.

• My TV doesn’t have any inputs to connect

the DVD player. How can I watch DVDs?

If your TV has no inputs you can’t use this

player with it.

Additional information

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 it.

This player is designed for use with conven-

tional, 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.

Cleaning the unit’s exterior

• Use a polishing cloth or dry cloth to wipe

off dust and dirt. If the surfaces are very

dirty, wipe with a soft cloth dipped in

some neutral cleanser diluted five or six

times with water and wrung out well, then

wipe again with a dry cloth.

• Do not use furniture wax or cleaners.

Never use thinners, benzine or insecticide

sprays or other chemicals on or near this

unit since they will corrode the surfaces.

• If you use a chemical-impregnated

cleaning cloth, read the instructions care-

fully before use. These cloths may leave

smear marks on half-mirror finish

surfaces; if this happens, finish with a dry

cloth.

• Unplug the unit when cleaning.

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 perfor-

mance. 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 product 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 radia-

tors 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 envi-

ronment.

Additional information

JPEG

A file format used for still images, such as

photographs and illustrations. JPEG files are

identified by the file extension “.jpg” or “.JPG”.

Most digital cameras use this format.

MP3

MP3 (MPEG1 audio layer 3) is a compressed

audio file format. Files are recognized by their

file extension “.mp3” or “.MP3”.

MPEG audio

An audio format used on Video CD/Super

VCDs 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 (Pulse Code Modula-

tion)

MPEG video

The video format used for Video CD/Super

VCDs and DVDs. Video CD/Super VCD uses

the older MPEG-1 standard, while DVD uses

the newer and much better quality MPEG-2

standard.

PBC (PlayBack Control) (Video CD/Super

VCD only)

A system of navigating a Video CD/Super VCD

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.

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 ampli-

fiers with digital inputs, this unit can convert

Dolby Digital, DTS and MPEG audio to PCM.

See also

Digital audio

Regions (DVD-Video only)

These associate discs and players with partic-

ular 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).

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. Stan-

dard CD audio has a sampling frequency of

44.1kHz, which means 44,100 samples

(measurements) per second. See also

Digital

audio

WMA

WMA is short for Windows Media Audio and

refers to an audio compression technology

developed by Microsoft Corporation. WMA

data can be encoded by using Windows

Media Player version 8 or Windows Media

Player for Windows XP. Files are recognized

by their file extension “.wma” or “.WMA”.

Microsoft, Windows Media, and the Windows

logo are trademarks, or registered trade-

marks of Microsoft Corporation in the United

States and/or other countries.

Connecting to an AV receiver

To enjoy multichannel surround sound you

need to connect this player to an AV receiver

using a digital output. This player has both

coaxial and optical digital jacks; use which-

ever is convenient.

In addition to a digital connection, we recom-

mend also connecting using the stereo

analog connection.

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).

1 Connect one of DIGITAL AUDIO OUT

jacks on this player to a digital input on

your AV receiver.

This enables you to listen to multichannel

surround sound.

For an optical connection, use an optical

cable (not supplied) to connect the

OPTICAL

DIGITAL AUDIO OUT

jack to an optical input

on your AV receiver.

For a coaxial connection, use a coaxial cable

(similar to the supplied video cable) to

connect the

COAXIAL DIGITAL AUDIO OUT

jack to a coaxial input on your AV receiver.

2 Connect the analog AUDIO OUT L/R

and VIDEO OUT jacks on this player to a

set of analog audio and video inputs on

your AV receiver.

The diagram shows standard video connec-

tions, but you can alternatively use the

S-video or component video connections if

they’re available.

3 Connect the AV receiver’s video

output to a video input on your TV.

• You usually have to connect the same

kind of video cable between your DVD

player and AV receiver, and between your

AV receiver and TV.

• My TV doesn’t have any inputs to connect

the DVD player. How can I watch DVDs?

If your TV has no inputs you can’t use this

player with it.

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 pass-

word. 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 inap-

propriate for your children use the

Parental Lock feature. These discs will

always play without requiring the pass-

word first.

•If you forget your password, you’ll need to

reset the player to its factory settings (see

Resetting the player

on page 63), then

Registering a new password

You must register a password before you can

Additional information

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 it.

This player is designed for use with conven-

tional, 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.

Cleaning the unit’s exterior

• Use a polishing cloth or dry cloth to wipe

off dust and dirt. If the surfaces are very

dirty, wipe with a soft cloth dipped in

some neutral cleanser diluted five or six

times with water and wrung out well, then

wipe again with a dry cloth.

• Do not use furniture wax or cleaners.

Never use thinners, benzine or insecticide

sprays or other chemicals on or near this

unit since they will corrode the surfaces.

• If you use a chemical-impregnated

cleaning cloth, read the instructions care-

fully before use. These cloths may leave

smear marks on half-mirror finish

surfaces; if this happens, finish with a dry

cloth.

• Unplug the unit when cleaning.

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 perfor-

mance. 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 product 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 radia-

tors 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 envi-

ronment.

Additional information

JPEG

A file format used for still images, such as

photographs and illustrations. JPEG files are

identified by the file extension “.jpg” or “.JPG”.

Most digital cameras use this format.

MP3

MP3 (MPEG1 audio layer 3) is a compressed

audio file format. Files are recognized by their

file extension “.mp3” or “.MP3”.

MPEG audio

An audio format used on Video CD/Super

VCDs 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 (Pulse Code Modula-

tion)

MPEG video

The video format used for Video CD/Super

VCDs and DVDs. Video CD/Super VCD uses

the older MPEG-1 standard, while DVD uses

the newer and much better quality MPEG-2

standard.

PBC (PlayBack Control) (Video CD/Super

VCD only)

A system of navigating a Video CD/Super VCD

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.

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 ampli-

fiers with digital inputs, this unit can convert

Dolby Digital, DTS and MPEG audio to PCM.

Digital audio

Regions (DVD-Video only)

These associate discs and players with partic-

ular 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).

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. Stan-

dard CD audio has a sampling frequency of

44.1kHz, which means 44,100 samples

(measurements) per second. See also

Digital

audio

WMA

WMA is short for Windows Media Audio and

refers to an audio compression technology

developed by Microsoft Corporation. WMA

data can be encoded by using Windows

Media Player version 8 or Windows Media

Player for Windows XP. Files are recognized

by their file extension “.wma” or “.WMA”.

Microsoft, Windows Media, and the Windows

logo are trademarks, or registered trade-

marks of Microsoft Corporation in the United

Before you start

•The CD-ROM used to compile your WMA/

MP3 files must be ISO 9660 Level 1 or 2

compliant. CD physical format: Mode1,

Mode2 XA Form1. Romeo and Joliet file

systems are both compatible with this

player.

• Use CD-R or CD-RW media for recording

your files. The disc must be finalized (i.e.

the session must be closed) in order to

play in this unit. This player is not compat-

ible with multi-session discs. Only the first

session of a multi-session disc will be

recognized.

• This player only plays tracks that are

named with the file extension .mp3,

.MP3, .wma, or .WMA.

• When naming MP3 and WMA files, add

the corresponding file name extension

(.mp3 or .wma). Files are played

according to the file extension. To prevent

noise and malfunctions, do not use these

extensions for other kinds of files.

• This player can recognize up to 999 files

(WMA/MP3/JPEG) and up to 499 folders.

If a disc exceeds these limits, only files

and folders up to these limits will be play-

able. Files and folders are read/displayed

in alphabetical order. Note that if the file

structure is very complex, you may not be

able to read/play all files on the disc.

•Folder and track names (excluding the file

extension) are displayed.

• There are many different recording bit-

rates available to encode MP3 files. This

unit was designed to be compatible with

all of them. Audio encoded at 128Kbps

should sound close to regular CD Audio

quality. This player will play lower bit-rate

files, but please note that the sound

quality becomes noticeably worse at

lower bit-rates.

JPEG file compatibility

• Baseline JPEG and EXIF 2.1* still image

files up to 8 mega-pixels are supported

(maximum vertical and horizontal resolu-

tion is 5120 pixels). (*

File format used by

digital still cameras

)

• The CD-ROM used to compile your JPEG

files must be ISO 9660 Level 1 or 2

compliant. CD physical format: Mode1,

Mode2 XA Form1. Romeo and Joliet file

systems are both compatible with this

player.

• This player only displays files that are

named with the file extension .jpg or

.JPG.

Connecting to an AV receiver

To enjoy multichannel surround sound you

need to connect this player to an AV receiver

using a digital output. This player has both

coaxial and optical digital jacks; use which-

ever is convenient.

In addition to a digital connection, we recom-

mend also connecting using the stereo

analog connection.

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).

1 Connect one of DIGITAL AUDIO OUT

jacks on this player to a digital input on

your AV receiver.

This enables you to listen to multichannel

surround sound.

For an optical connection, use an optical

cable (not supplied) to connect the

OPTICAL

DIGITAL AUDIO OUT

jack to an optical input

on your AV receiver.

For a coaxial connection, use a coaxial cable

(similar to the supplied video cable) to

connect the

COAXIAL DIGITAL AUDIO OUT

jack to a coaxial input on your AV receiver.

2 Connect the analog AUDIO OUT L/R

and VIDEO OUT jacks on this player to a

set of analog audio and video inputs on

your AV receiver.

The diagram shows standard video connec-

tions, but you can alternatively use the

S-video or component video connections if

they’re available.

3 Connect the AV receiver’s video

output to a video input on your TV.

• You usually have to connect the same

kind of video cable between your DVD

player and AV receiver, and between your

AV receiver and TV.

• My TV doesn’t have any inputs to connect

the DVD player. How can I watch DVDs?

If your TV has no inputs you can’t use this

player with it.

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 pass-

word. 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 inap-

propriate for your children use the

always play without requiring the pass-

word first.

•If you forget your password, you’ll need to

reset the player to its factory settings (see

Additional information

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 it.

This player is designed for use with conven-

tional, 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.

Cleaning the unit’s exterior

• Use a polishing cloth or dry cloth to wipe

off dust and dirt. If the surfaces are very

dirty, wipe with a soft cloth dipped in

some neutral cleanser diluted five or six

times with water and wrung out well, then

wipe again with a dry cloth.

• Do not use furniture wax or cleaners.

Never use thinners, benzine or insecticide

sprays or other chemicals on or near this

unit since they will corrode the surfaces.

• If you use a chemical-impregnated

cleaning cloth, read the instructions care-

fully before use. These cloths may leave

smear marks on half-mirror finish

surfaces; if this happens, finish with a dry

cloth.

• Unplug the unit when cleaning.

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 perfor-

mance. 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 product 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 radia-

tors 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 envi-

ronment.

Additional information

JPEG

A file format used for still images, such as

photographs and illustrations. JPEG files are

identified by the file extension “.jpg” or “.JPG”.

Most digital cameras use this format.

MP3

MP3 (MPEG1 audio layer 3) is a compressed

audio file format. Files are recognized by their

file extension “.mp3” or “.MP3”.

MPEG audio

An audio format used on Video CD/Super

VCDs 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 (Pulse Code Modula-

tion)

MPEG video

The video format used for Video CD/Super

VCDs and DVDs. Video CD/Super VCD uses

the older MPEG-1 standard, while DVD uses

the newer and much better quality MPEG-2

standard.

PBC (PlayBack Control) (Video CD/Super

VCD only)

A system of navigating a Video CD/Super VCD

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.

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 ampli-

fiers with digital inputs, this unit can convert

Dolby Digital, DTS and MPEG audio to PCM.

Digital audio

Regions (DVD-Video only)

These associate discs and players with partic-

ular 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).

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. Stan-

dard CD audio has a sampling frequency of

44.1kHz, which means 44,100 samples

(measurements) per second. See also

Digital

audio

WMA

WMA is short for Windows Media Audio and

refers to an audio compression technology

developed by Microsoft Corporation. WMA

data can be encoded by using Windows

Media Player version 8 or Windows Media

Player for Windows XP. Files are recognized

by their file extension “.wma” or “.WMA”.

Before you start

•The CD-ROM used to compile your WMA/

MP3 files must be ISO 9660 Level 1 or 2

compliant. CD physical format: Mode1,

Mode2 XA Form1. Romeo and Joliet file

systems are both compatible with this

player.

• Use CD-R or CD-RW media for recording

your files. The disc must be finalized (i.e.

the session must be closed) in order to

play in this unit. This player is not compat-

ible with multi-session discs. Only the first

session of a multi-session disc will be

recognized.

• This player only plays tracks that are

named with the file extension .mp3,

.MP3, .wma, or .WMA.

• When naming MP3 and WMA files, add

the corresponding file name extension

(.mp3 or .wma). Files are played

according to the file extension. To prevent

noise and malfunctions, do not use these

extensions for other kinds of files.

• This player can recognize up to 999 files

(WMA/MP3/JPEG) and up to 499 folders.

If a disc exceeds these limits, only files

and folders up to these limits will be play-

able. Files and folders are read/displayed

in alphabetical order. Note that if the file

structure is very complex, you may not be

able to read/play all files on the disc.

•Folder and track names (excluding the file

extension) are displayed.

• There are many different recording bit-

rates available to encode MP3 files. This

unit was designed to be compatible with

all of them. Audio encoded at 128Kbps

should sound close to regular CD Audio

quality. This player will play lower bit-rate

files, but please note that the sound

quality becomes noticeably worse at

lower bit-rates.

JPEG file compatibility

• Baseline JPEG and EXIF 2.1* still image

files up to 8 mega-pixels are supported

(maximum vertical and horizontal resolu-

tion is 5120 pixels). (*

Connecting to an AV receiver

To enjoy multichannel surround sound you

need to connect this player to an AV receiver

using a digital output. This player has both

coaxial and optical digital jacks; use which-

ever is convenient.

In addition to a digital connection, we recom-

mend also connecting using the stereo

analog connection.

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).

1 Connect one of DIGITAL AUDIO OUT

jacks on this player to a digital input on

your AV receiver.

This enables you to listen to multichannel

surround sound.

For an optical connection, use an optical

cable (not supplied) to connect the

OPTICAL

DIGITAL AUDIO OUT

jack to an optical input

on your AV receiver.

For a coaxial connection, use a coaxial cable

(similar to the supplied video cable) to

connect the

COAXIAL DIGITAL AUDIO OUT

jack to a coaxial input on your AV receiver.

2 Connect the analog AUDIO OUT L/R

and VIDEO OUT jacks on this player to a

set of analog audio and video inputs on

your AV receiver.

The diagram shows standard video connec-

tions, but you can alternatively use the

S-video or component video connections if

they’re available.

3 Connect the AV receiver’s video

output to a video input on your TV.

• You usually have to connect the same

kind of video cable between your DVD

player and AV receiver, and between your

AV receiver and TV.

If your TV has no inputs you can’t use this

player with it.

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 pass-

Additional information

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 it.

This player is designed for use with conven-

tional, 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.

Cleaning the unit’s exterior

• Use a polishing cloth or dry cloth to wipe

off dust and dirt. If the surfaces are very

dirty, wipe with a soft cloth dipped in

some neutral cleanser diluted five or six

times with water and wrung out well, then

wipe again with a dry cloth.

• Do not use furniture wax or cleaners.

Never use thinners, benzine or insecticide

sprays or other chemicals on or near this

unit since they will corrode the surfaces.

• If you use a chemical-impregnated

cleaning cloth, read the instructions care-

fully before use. These cloths may leave

smear marks on half-mirror finish

surfaces; if this happens, finish with a dry

cloth.

• Unplug the unit when cleaning.

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 perfor-

mance. 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 product 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 radia-

tors 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 envi-

ronment.

Additional information

JPEG

A file format used for still images, such as

photographs and illustrations. JPEG files are

identified by the file extension “.jpg” or “.JPG”.

Most digital cameras use this format.

MP3

MP3 (MPEG1 audio layer 3) is a compressed

audio file format. Files are recognized by their

file extension “.mp3” or “.MP3”.

MPEG audio

An audio format used on Video CD/Super

VCDs and some DVD discs. This unit can

convert MPEG audio to PCM format for wider

compatibility with digital recorders and AV

amplifiers. See also

MPEG video

The video format used for Video CD/Super

VCDs and DVDs. Video CD/Super VCD uses

the older MPEG-1 standard, while DVD uses

the newer and much better quality MPEG-2

standard.

PBC (PlayBack Control) (Video CD/Super

VCD only)

A system of navigating a Video CD/Super VCD

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.

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 ampli-

fiers with digital inputs, this unit can convert

Dolby Digital, DTS and MPEG audio to PCM.

See also

Regions (DVD-Video only)

These associate discs and players with partic-

ular 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).

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. Stan-

dard CD audio has a sampling frequency of

44.1kHz, which means 44,100 samples

(measurements) per second. See also

WMA

WMA is short for Windows Media Audio and

refers to an audio compression technology

developed by Microsoft Corporation. WMA

data can be encoded by using Windows

Media Player version 8 or Windows Media

Player for Windows XP. Files are recognized

by their file extension “.wma” or “.WMA”.

Microsoft, Windows Media, and the Windows

logo are trademarks, or registered trade-

marks of Microsoft Corporation in the United

General disc compatibility

This player was designed and engineered to

be compatible with software bearing one or

more of the following logos:

• KODAK Picture CD

•

This player supports the IEC’s Super VCD

standard. Compared to the Video CD stan-

dard, Super VCD offers superior picture

quality, and allows two stereo soundtracks to

be recorded. Super VCD also supports the

widescreen size.

Other formats, including but not limited to the

following, are not playable in this player:

DVD-Audio / SACD / DVD-RAM

DVD-ROM / CD-ROM

DVD-R/RW and CD-R/RW discs (Audio CDs

and Video CD/Super VCDs) recorded using a

DVD recorder, CD recorder or personal

computer may not be playable on this unit.

This may be caused by a number of possibili-

ties, including but not limited to: the type of

disc used; the type of recording; damage, dirt

or condensation on either the disc or the

player’s pick-up lens. See below for notes

about particular software and formats.

CD-R/RW compatibility

•This unit will play CD-R and CD-RW discs

recorded in CD Audio or Video CD/Super

VCD format, or as a CD-ROM containing

MP3, WMA or JPEG files. However, any

other content may cause the disc not to

play, or create noise/distortion in the

output.

• This unit cannot record CD-R or CD-RW

discs.

• Unfinalized CD-R/RW discs recorded as

CD Audio can be played, but the full Table

of Contents (playing time, etc.) will not be

displayed.

DVD-R/RW compatibility

• This unit will play DVD-R/RW discs

recorded using the DVD-Video format that

have been finalized using a DVD-recorder.

•This unit will play DVD-RW discs recorded

using the Video Recording (VR) format.

Before you start

•The CD-ROM used to compile your WMA/

MP3 files must be ISO 9660 Level 1 or 2

compliant. CD physical format: Mode1,

Mode2 XA Form1. Romeo and Joliet file

systems are both compatible with this

player.

• Use CD-R or CD-RW media for recording

your files. The disc must be finalized (i.e.

the session must be closed) in order to

play in this unit. This player is not compat-

ible with multi-session discs. Only the first

session of a multi-session disc will be

recognized.

• This player only plays tracks that are

named with the file extension .mp3,

.MP3, .wma, or .WMA.

• When naming MP3 and WMA files, add

the corresponding file name extension

(.mp3 or .wma). Files are played

according to the file extension. To prevent

noise and malfunctions, do not use these

extensions for other kinds of files.

• This player can recognize up to 999 files

(WMA/MP3/JPEG) and up to 499 folders.

If a disc exceeds these limits, only files

and folders up to these limits will be play-

able. Files and folders are read/displayed

in alphabetical order. Note that if the file

structure is very complex, you may not be

able to read/play all files on the disc.

•Folder and track names (excluding the file

extension) are displayed.

• There are many different recording bit-

rates available to encode MP3 files. This

unit was designed to be compatible with

all of them. Audio encoded at 128Kbps

should sound close to regular CD Audio

quality. This player will play lower bit-rate

files, but please note that the sound

quality becomes noticeably worse at

lower bit-rates.

JPEG file compatibility

• Baseline JPEG and EXIF 2.1* still image

files up to 8 mega-pixels are supported

(maximum vertical and horizontal resolu-

tion is 5120 pixels). (*

)

• The CD-ROM used to compile your JPEG

files must be ISO 9660 Level 1 or 2

compliant. CD physical format: Mode1,

Mode2 XA Form1. Romeo and Joliet file

systems are both compatible with this

player.

• This player only displays files that are

named with the file extension .jpg or

.JPG.

Connecting to an AV receiver

To enjoy multichannel surround sound you

need to connect this player to an AV receiver

using a digital output. This player has both

coaxial and optical digital jacks; use which-

ever is convenient.

In addition to a digital connection, we recom-

mend also connecting using the stereo

analog connection.

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).

1 Connect one of DIGITAL AUDIO OUT

jacks on this player to a digital input on

your AV receiver.

This enables you to listen to multichannel

surround sound.

For an optical connection, use an optical

cable (not supplied) to connect the

OPTICAL

DIGITAL AUDIO OUT

jack to an optical input

on your AV receiver.

For a coaxial connection, use a coaxial cable

(similar to the supplied video cable) to

connect the

COAXIAL DIGITAL AUDIO OUT

jack to a coaxial input on your AV receiver.

2 Connect the analog AUDIO OUT L/R

and VIDEO OUT jacks on this player to a

set of analog audio and video inputs on

your AV receiver.

The diagram shows standard video connec-

tions, but you can alternatively use the

S-video or component video connections if

they’re available.

3 Connect the AV receiver’s video

output to a video input on your TV.

• You usually have to connect the same

kind of video cable between your DVD

player and AV receiver, and between your

AV receiver and TV.

• My TV doesn’t have any inputs to connect

the DVD player. How can I watch DVDs?

If your TV has no inputs you can’t use this

player with it.

Additional information

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 it.

This player is designed for use with conven-

tional, 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.

Cleaning the unit’s exterior

• Use a polishing cloth or dry cloth to wipe

off dust and dirt. If the surfaces are very

dirty, wipe with a soft cloth dipped in

some neutral cleanser diluted five or six

times with water and wrung out well, then

wipe again with a dry cloth.

• Do not use furniture wax or cleaners.

Never use thinners, benzine or insecticide

sprays or other chemicals on or near this

unit since they will corrode the surfaces.

• If you use a chemical-impregnated

cleaning cloth, read the instructions care-

fully before use. These cloths may leave

smear marks on half-mirror finish

surfaces; if this happens, finish with a dry

cloth.

• Unplug the unit when cleaning.

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 perfor-

mance. 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 product 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 radia-

tors 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 envi-

ronment.

PBC (PlayBack Control) (Video CD/Super

VCD only)

A system of navigating a Video CD/Super VCD

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.

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 ampli-

fiers with digital inputs, this unit can convert

Dolby Digital, DTS and MPEG audio to PCM.

Regions (DVD-Video only)

These associate discs and players with partic-

ular 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).

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. Stan-

dard CD audio has a sampling frequency of

44.1kHz, which means 44,100 samples

(measurements) per second. See also

Digital

audio

WMA

WMA is short for Windows Media Audio and

refers to an audio compression technology

developed by Microsoft Corporation. WMA

data can be encoded by using Windows

Media Player version 8 or Windows Media

Player for Windows XP. Files are recognized

by their file extension “.wma” or “.WMA”.

be recorded. Super VCD also supports the

widescreen size.

Other formats, including but not limited to the

following, are not playable in this player:

ibility and JPEG file compatibility below.

DVD-R/RW and CD-R/RW discs (Audio CDs

and Video CD/Super VCDs) recorded using a

DVD recorder, CD recorder or personal

computer may not be playable on this unit.

This may be caused by a number of possibili-

ties, including but not limited to: the type of

disc used; the type of recording; damage, dirt

or condensation on either the disc or the

player’s pick-up lens. See below for notes

about particular software and formats.

CD-R/RW compatibility

•This unit will play CD-R and CD-RW discs

recorded in CD Audio or Video CD/Super

VCD format, or as a CD-ROM containing

MP3, WMA or JPEG files. However, any

other content may cause the disc not to

play, or create noise/distortion in the

output.

• This unit cannot record CD-R or CD-RW

discs.

• Unfinalized CD-R/RW discs recorded as

CD Audio can be played, but the full Table

of Contents (playing time, etc.) will not be

Before you start

•The CD-ROM used to compile your WMA/

MP3 files must be ISO 9660 Level 1 or 2

compliant. CD physical format: Mode1,

Mode2 XA Form1. Romeo and Joliet file

systems are both compatible with this

player.

• Use CD-R or CD-RW media for recording

your files. The disc must be finalized (i.e.

the session must be closed) in order to

play in this unit. This player is not compat-

ible with multi-session discs. Only the first

session of a multi-session disc will be

recognized.

• This player only plays tracks that are

named with the file extension .mp3,

.MP3, .wma, or .WMA.

• When naming MP3 and WMA files, add

the corresponding file name extension

(.mp3 or .wma). Files are played

according to the file extension. To prevent

noise and malfunctions, do not use these

extensions for other kinds of files.

• This player can recognize up to 999 files

(WMA/MP3/JPEG) and up to 499 folders.

If a disc exceeds these limits, only files

and folders up to these limits will be play-

able. Files and folders are read/displayed

in alphabetical order. Note that if the file

structure is very complex, you may not be

able to read/play all files on the disc.

•Folder and track names (excluding the file

extension) are displayed.

• There are many different recording bit-

rates available to encode MP3 files. This

unit was designed to be compatible with

all of them. Audio encoded at 128Kbps

should sound close to regular CD Audio

quality. This player will play lower bit-rate

files, but please note that the sound

quality becomes noticeably worse at

lower bit-rates.

JPEG file compatibility

• Baseline JPEG and EXIF 2.1* still image

files up to 8 mega-pixels are supported

(maximum vertical and horizontal resolu-

tion is 5120 pixels). (*

files must be ISO 9660 Level 1 or 2

compliant. CD physical format: Mode1,

named with the file extension .jpg or
