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.

POWER-CORD PROTECTION — Power-supply

cords should be routed so that they are not likely

to be walked on or pinched by items placed

upon or against them, paying particular

attention to cords at plugs, convenience

receptacles, and the point where they exit from

the product.

OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING — If an

outside antenna or cable system is connected to

the product, be sure the antenna or cable

system is grounded so as to provide some

protection against voltage surges and built-up

static charges. Article 810 of the National

Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides

information with regard to proper grounding of

the mast and supporting structure, grounding of

the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit,

size of grounding conductors, location of

antenna-discharge unit, connection to

grounding electrodes, and requirements for the

grounding electrode. See Figure A.

LIGHTNING — For added protection for this

product during a lightning storm, or when it is

left unattended and unused for long periods of

time, unplug it from the wall outlet and

disconnect the antenna or cable system. This

will prevent damage to the product due to

lightning and power-line surges.

POWER LINES — An outside antenna system

should not be located in the vicinity of overhead

power lines or other electric light or power

circuits, or where it can fall into such power

lines or circuits. When installing an outside

antenna system, extreme care should be taken

to keep from touching such power lines or

circuits as contact with them might be fatal.

OVERLOADING — Do not overload wall outlets,

extension cords, or integral convenience

receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or

electric shock.

OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY — Never push

objects of any kind into this product through

openings as they may touch dangerous voltage

points or short-out parts that could result in a

fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any

kind on the product.

SERVICING — Do not attempt to service this

product yourself as opening or removing covers

may expose you to dangerous voltage or other

hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service

personnel.

DAMAGE REQUIRING SERVICE — Unplug this

product from the wall outlet and refer servicing

to qualified service personnel under the

following conditions:

• When the power-supply cord or plug is

damaged.

• If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen

into the product.

• If the product has been exposed to rain or water.

• If the product does not operate normally by

following the operating instructions. Adjust only

those controls that are covered by the operating

instructions as an improper adjustment of other

controls may result in damage and will often

require extensive work by a qualified technician

to restore the product to its normal operation.

• If the product has been dropped or damaged in

any way.

• When the product exhibits a distinct change in

performance — this indicates a need for service.

REPLACEMENT PARTS — When replacement parts

are required, be sure the service technician has

used replacement parts specified by the

manufacturer or have the same characteristics

as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions

may result in fire, electric shock, or other

hazards.

SAFETY CHECK — Upon completion of any service

or repairs to this product, ask the service

technician to perform safety checks to

determine that the product is in proper

operating condition.

Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit

you’ve just purchased is only the start of your

musical enjoyment. Now it’s time to consider how

you can maximize the fun and excitement your

equipment offers. This manufacturer and the

Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer

Electronics Group want you to get the most out of

your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that

lets the sound come through loud and clear without

annoying blaring or distortion-and, most importantly,

without affecting your sensitive hearing.

Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing

“comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of sound.

So what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and

harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by

setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your

hearing adapts.

To establish a safe level:

• Start your volume control at a low setting.

• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it

comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.

Once you have established a comfortable sound

level:

• Set the dial and leave it there.

Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent

hearing damage or loss in the future. After all, we

want you listening for a lifetime.

We Want You Listening For A Lifetime

Used wisely, your new sound equipment will

provide a lifetime of fun and enjoyment. Since

hearing damage from loud noise is often

undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer

and the Electronic Industries Association’s

Consumer Electronics Group recommend you avoid

prolonged exposure to excessive noise. This list of

sound levels is included for your protection.

Decibel

Level Example

30 Quiet library, soft whispers

Living room, refrigerator, bedroom away from traffic

50 Light traffic, normal conversation, quiet office

60 Air conditioner at 20 feet, sewing machine

70 Vacuum cleaner, hair dryer, noisy restaurant

Average city traffic, garbage disposals, alarm clock

at two feet.

THE FOLLOWING NOISES CAN BE DANGEROUS

UNDER CONSTANT EXPOSURE

Subway, motorcycle, truck traffic, lawn mower

100 Garbage truck, chain saw, pneumatic drill

120 Rock band concert in front of speakers,

thunderclap

140 Gunshot blast, jet plane

180 Rocket launching pad

Information courtesy of the Deafness Research Foundation.

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 such 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.

Chapter 2

Connecting up

Easy connections

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 the speakers in your TV.

Important

•This player is equipped with copy protection technology. Do not connect this player to your TV

via a VCR using audio/video or S-video 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.)

• When connecting to your TV as shown above, do not set the

Connecting up02

1 Connect the VIDEO OUT and AUDIO

OUT L/R 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.

2Connect 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 

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 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.

Connecting using the

component video output

You can use the component video output

instead of the standard video out jack to

connect this player to your TV (or other

equipment). This should give you the best

quality picture from the three types of video

output available.

• Use a component video cable (not

supplied) to connect the COMPONENT

VIDEO OUT jacks to a component video

input on your TV, monitor or AV receiver.

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

Video Output settings

on page 31.

When the player is set to output progressive

scan video, the

PRGSVE

indicator lights in the

front panel display.

Important

• When

Component Out

(page 31) is set to

Progressive

, there is no video output from

the

VIDEO OUT

(composite) and

(S-

video) jacks.

• If you want to display video on more than

one monitor simultaneously, make sure

the player is set to

Interlace

• 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

Easy

connections

on page 9), then switch back

Video CD PBC menus

Some Video CDs have menus from which you

can choose what you want to watch. These are

called PBC (Playback control) menus.

You can play a PBC Video CD without having to

navigate the PBC menu by starting playback

using a number button to select a track, rather

than the



(play) button.

FAQ

• 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

DVD-Video

regions

on page 36.

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

Taking care of your player and discs

page 34.

• 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 undamaged. See

Taking care of

your player and discs

on page 34 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-Audio or DVD-ROM. See

Disc / content format playback compatibility

on page 7 for more on disc compatibility.

•Ihave 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.

•Ihave a standard (4:3) TV and set the 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 letter box format.

This is not a malfunction.

Additional information

If you use a chemical-impregnated cleaning

cloth, read the instructions carefully before

use. These cloths may leave smear marks on

half-mirror finish surfaces; if this happens,

finish with a dry cloth.

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. We

do not recommend using commercially

available lens cleaners for CD players.

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. Leave it to adjust to the warmer

temperature for about an hour before

switching on.

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 cable. Never lift

or move the unit during playback—discs rotate

at a high speed and may be damaged.

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 31) 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

‘letter box’ 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 31) of this player should be set to

4:3 (Letter Box)

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

shown with the left and right sides cropped.

Although the picture 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 letter box format regardless of the

setting.

on page 31.

When the player is set to output progressive

scan video, the

PRGSVE

• 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,

Video CD PBC menus

Some Video CDs have menus from which you

can choose what you want to watch. These are

called PBC (Playback control) menus.

You can play a PBC Video CD without having to

navigate the PBC menu by starting playback

using a number button to select a track, rather

than the



(play) button.

FAQ

• 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

DVD-Video

regions

on page 36.

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

Taking care of your player and discs

page 34.

• 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 undamaged. See

Taking care of

your player and discs

on page 34 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-Audio or DVD-ROM. See

Disc / content format playback compatibility

on page 7 for more on disc compatibility.

•Ihave 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.

•Ihave a standard (4:3) TV and set the 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 letter box format.

This is not a malfunction.

Additional information

If you use a chemical-impregnated cleaning

cloth, read the instructions carefully before

use. These cloths may leave smear marks on

half-mirror finish surfaces; if this happens,

finish with a dry cloth.

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. We

do not recommend using commercially

available lens cleaners for CD players.

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. Leave it to adjust to the warmer

temperature for about an hour before

switching on.

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 cable. Never lift

or move the unit during playback—discs rotate

at a high speed and may be damaged.

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 31) 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

‘letter box’ 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 31) of this player should be set to

4:3 (Letter Box)

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

shown with the left and right sides cropped.

Although the picture 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 letter box format regardless of the

setting.

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

Video Output settings

on page 31.

When the player is set to output progressive

scan video, the

PRGSVE

indicator lights in the

front panel display.

Important

• When

Component Out

(page 31) is set to

Progressive

, there is no video output from

the

VIDEO OUT

(composite) and

(S-

video) jacks.

• If you want to display video on more than

one monitor simultaneously, make sure

the player is set to

Interlace

• 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

Easy

connections

on page 9), then switch back

Video CD PBC menus

Some Video CDs have menus from which you

can choose what you want to watch. These are

called PBC (Playback control) menus.

You can play a PBC Video CD without having to

navigate the PBC menu by starting playback

using a number button to select a track, rather

than the



(play) button.

FAQ

• 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

DVD-Video

regions

on page 36.

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

Taking care of your player and discs

page 34.

• 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 undamaged. See

Taking care of

your player and discs

on page 34 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-Audio or DVD-ROM. See

Disc / content format playback compatibility

on page 7 for more on disc compatibility.

•Ihave 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.

•Ihave a standard (4:3) TV and set the 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 letter box format.

This is not a malfunction.

Additional information

If you use a chemical-impregnated cleaning

cloth, read the instructions carefully before

use. These cloths may leave smear marks on

half-mirror finish surfaces; if this happens,

finish with a dry cloth.

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. We

do not recommend using commercially

available lens cleaners for CD players.

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. Leave it to adjust to the warmer

temperature for about an hour before

switching on.

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 cable. Never lift

or move the unit during playback—discs rotate

at a high speed and may be damaged.

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 31) 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

‘letter box’ 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 31) of this player should be set to

4:3 (Letter Box)

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

shown with the left and right sides cropped.

Although the picture 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 letter box format regardless of the

setting.

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

Video Output settings

on page 31.

When the player is set to output progressive

scan video, the

PRGSVE

indicator lights in the

front panel display.

Important

• When

Component Out

(page 31) is set to

Progressive

, there is no video output from

the

VIDEO OUT

(composite) and

(S-

video) jacks.

• If you want to display video on more than

one monitor simultaneously, make sure

the player is set to

Interlace

• 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

Easy

connections

on page 9), then switch back

Interlace

(see below).

Video CD PBC menus

Some Video CDs have menus from which you

can choose what you want to watch. These are

called PBC (Playback control) menus.

You can play a PBC Video CD without having to

navigate the PBC menu by starting playback

using a number button to select a track, rather

than the



FAQ

• 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

DVD-Video

regions

on page 36.

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

Taking care of your player and discs

page 34.

• 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 undamaged. See

Taking care of

your player and discs

on page 34 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-Audio or DVD-ROM. See

Disc / content format playback compatibility

on page 7 for more on disc compatibility.

•Ihave 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.

•Ihave a standard (4:3) TV and set the 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 letter box format.

This is not a malfunction.

Additional information

If you use a chemical-impregnated cleaning

cloth, read the instructions carefully before

use. These cloths may leave smear marks on

half-mirror finish surfaces; if this happens,

finish with a dry cloth.

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. We

do not recommend using commercially

available lens cleaners for CD players.

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. Leave it to adjust to the warmer

temperature for about an hour before

switching on.

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 cable. Never lift

or move the unit during playback—discs rotate

at a high speed and may be damaged.

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 31) 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

‘letter box’ 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 31) of this player should be set to

4:3 (Letter Box)

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

shown with the left and right sides cropped.

Although the picture 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 letter box format regardless of the

setting.

Connecting up 02

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

Video Output settings

on page 31.

When the player is set to output progressive

scan video, the

PRGSVE

indicator lights in the

front panel display.

Important

• When

Component Out

(page 31) is set to

Progressive

, there is no video output from

the

VIDEO OUT

(composite) and

(S-

video) jacks.

• If you want to display video on more than

one monitor simultaneously, make sure

the player is set to

Interlace

• 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

Easy

connections

on page 9), then switch back

Interlace

(see below).

Video CD PBC menus

Some Video CDs have menus from which you

can choose what you want to watch. These are

called PBC (Playback control) menus.

You can play a PBC Video CD without having to

navigate the PBC menu by starting playback

using a number button to select a track, rather

than the



FAQ

• 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

DVD-Video

regions

on page 36.

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

Taking care of your player and discs

page 34.

• 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 undamaged. See

Taking care of

your player and discs

on page 34 for

information on cleaning discs.

If a disc loaded correctly won’t play, it’s

•Ihave 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.

•Ihave a standard (4:3) TV and set the 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 letter box format.

This is not a malfunction.

Additional information

If you use a chemical-impregnated cleaning

cloth, read the instructions carefully before

use. These cloths may leave smear marks on

half-mirror finish surfaces; if this happens,

finish with a dry cloth.

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. We

do not recommend using commercially

available lens cleaners for CD players.

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. Leave it to adjust to the warmer

temperature for about an hour before

switching on.

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 cable. Never lift

or move the unit during playback—discs rotate

at a high speed and may be damaged.

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 31) 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

‘letter box’ 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 31) of this player should be set to

4:3 (Letter Box)

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

shown with the left and right sides cropped.

Although the picture 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 letter box format regardless of the

setting.
