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
40
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
80
Average city traffic, garbage disposals, alarm clock
at two feet.
THE FOLLOWING NOISES CAN BE DANGEROUS
UNDER CONSTANT EXPOSURE
90
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.

Features
Experience the super high-quality audio perfor-
mance of DVD-Audio and Super Audio CD
(SACD).
This player supports the IEC’s Super VCD stan-
dard. Compared to the Video CD standard,
Super VCD offers superior picture quality, and
allows two stereo soundtracks to be recorded.
Super VCD also supports the widescreen size.
The on-board 24-bit/192kHz DAC means that
this player is fully compatible with high
sampling-rate discs, capable of delivering
exceptional sound quality in terms of dynamic
range, low-level resolution and high-frequency
detail.
This player features multichannel analog
outputs for connection to an AV amplifier to
give you stunning surround sound from Dolby
Digital, DTS and multichannel DVD-Audio
discs.
When connected to a progressive scan-
compatible TV or monitor using the
component video outputs, you can enjoy
extremely stable, flicker free images, with the
same frame refresh rate as the original movie.
The new Disc Navigator enables you play the
first few seconds of each title or chapter in a
thumbnail image on screen.
See Audio Settings and Video Adjust menus on
page 33.

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 36.
When the player is set to output progressive
scan video, the
PRGSVE indicator lights in the
front panel display.
Important
• 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 11), then switch back
to
Interlace (see below).
Switching the video output to interlace
using the front panel controls
Switch the player to standby then, using the
front panel controls, press
STANDBY/ON
while pressing
to switch the player back to
Interlace .
Compatibility of this player with
progressive-scan and high-definition TVs
This player is compatible with progressive
video Macro Vision System Copy Guard.
Consumers should note that not all high-
definition television sets are fully compatible
with this product and may cause artifacts to be
displayed in the picture. In case of 525
progressive scan picture problems, it is
recommended that the user switch the
connection to the ‘standard definition’ output
(Interlace). If there are questions regarding our
TV set compatibility with this model, please
contact our customer service center.

Audio DRC
• Settings: High , Medium , Low , Off
(default)
When watching Dolby Digital DVDs at low
volume, it’s easy to lose the quieter sounds
completely—including some of the dialog.
Switching Audio DRC (Dynamic Range
Control) to on can help by bringing up the
quieter sounds, while controlling loud peaks.
How much of a difference you hear depends on
the material you’re listening to. If the material
doesn’t have wide variations in volume, you
may not notice much change.
Note
• Audio DRC is only effective with Dolby
Digital audio sources.
• Audio DRC is only effective through the
digital output when
Digital Out is set to
On , and Dolby Digital Out is set to Dolby
Digital > PCM
(see Digital Audio Out
settings
on page 35).
• The effect of Audio DRC also depends on
your speakers and AV receiver settings.
Virtual Surround
• Settings: On , Off (default)
Switch on Virtual Surround to enjoy realistic
surround sound effects from just two speakers.
Tip
• You can also use the SURROUND button
on the remote control to switch Virtual
Surround on.
Note
• 96kHz Linear PCM audio is automatically
downsampled to 48kHz if Virtual Surround
is switched on.
• The

The new Country code is set and you will return
to the Options menu screen. Note that the new
Country code doesn’t take effect until the next
disc is loaded (or the current disc is reloaded).
DTS Downmix
• Default setting: Stereo
If you’ve selected DTS > PCM in DTS Out on
page 35 or
2 Channel in Audio Output Mode on
page 41, you can choose the way the signal is
downmixed to PCM audio.
Stereo will
downmix the DTS signal to 2-channel stereo,
whereas
Lt/Rt will downmix to a 2-channel
signal compatible with Dolby surround matrix
decoders. (This allows you to hear surround
sound if your AV receiver or amplifier has Dolby
Pro Logic capability.)
Audio Output Mode
• Default setting: 2 Channel
If you connected this player to your amplifier
using the 5.1 channel analog outputs (front,
surround, center and subwoofer outs), set this
to
5.1 Channel ; if you connected only the
stereo outs, set to
2 Channel .
Note
•Even if you set Audio Output Mode to 5.1
Channel
, you’ll only get sound from all
speakers when playing a 5.1 channel multi-
channel disc.
• When set to
5.1 Channel , only the front
left/right channels are output from the
AUDIO OUT (2ch) jacks. Change to 2
Channel
if you want to listen to downmixed
stereo audio (for example, because you are
listening through the TV’s built-in
speakers).
•When set to
5.1 Channel there is no digital
output when playing DVD-Audio.
•If you set to
2 Channel , Dolby Digital, DTS
and MPEG audio is mixed down to two
channels so you still hear all the audio
recorded on the disc. With DTS encoded
audio, you can choose how the signal is
downmixed to PCM audio. See
DTS
Downmix
above to change the downmix
setting.
• Some DVD-Audio discs don’t allow down-
mixing of audio. These discs always output
multi-channel audio regardless of the
setting made here.

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 36) 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 36) of this player should be set to
4:3 (Letter Box) or 4:3 (Pan&Scan) ,
depending on which you prefer.
Set to
4:3 (Letter Box) , widescreen discs are
shown with black bars top and bottom.
Set to
4:3 (Pan&Scan) , widescreen discs are
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 36.
When the player is set to output progressive
scan video, the
PRGSVE indicator lights in the
front panel display.
Important
• 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 11), then switch back
to
Interlace (see below).
Switching the video output to interlace
using the front panel controls
Switch the player to standby then, using the
front panel controls, press
 STANDBY/ON
while pressing
 to switch the player back to
Interlace .
Compatibility of this player with
progressive-scan and high-definition TVs
This player is compatible with progressive
video Macro Vision System Copy Guard.
Consumers should note that not all high-
definition television sets are fully compatible
with this product and may cause artifacts to be
displayed in the picture. In case of 525
progressive scan picture problems, it is
recommended that the user switch the
connection to the ‘standard definition’ output
(Interlace). If there are questions regarding our
TV set compatibility with this model, please
contact our customer service center.

Audio DRC
• Settings: High , Medium , Low , Off
(default)
When watching Dolby Digital DVDs at low
volume, it’s easy to lose the quieter sounds
completely—including some of the dialog.
Switching Audio DRC (Dynamic Range
Control) to on can help by bringing up the
quieter sounds, while controlling loud peaks.
How much of a difference you hear depends on
the material you’re listening to. If the material
doesn’t have wide variations in volume, you
may not notice much change.
Note
• Audio DRC is only effective with Dolby
Digital audio sources.
• Audio DRC is only effective through the
digital output when
Digital Out is set to
On , and Dolby Digital Out is set to Dolby
Digital > PCM
(see Digital Audio Out
settings
on page 35).
• The effect of Audio DRC also depends on
your speakers and AV receiver settings.
Virtual Surround
• Settings: On , Off (default)
Switch on Virtual Surround to enjoy realistic
surround sound effects from just two speakers.
Tip
• You can also use the SURROUND button
on the remote control to switch Virtual
Surround on.
Note
• 96kHz Linear PCM audio is automatically
downsampled to 48kHz if Virtual Surround
is switched on.
• The
Audio Output Mode (see page 41)
must be set to
2 Channel in order to be
able to use Virtual Surround.

The new Country code is set and you will return
to the Options menu screen. Note that the new
Country code doesn’t take effect until the next
disc is loaded (or the current disc is reloaded).
DTS Downmix
• Default setting: Stereo
If you’ve selected DTS > PCM in DTS Out on
page 35 or
2 Channel in Audio Output Mode on
page 41, you can choose the way the signal is
downmixed to PCM audio.
Stereo will
downmix the DTS signal to 2-channel stereo,
whereas
Lt/Rt will downmix to a 2-channel
signal compatible with Dolby surround matrix
decoders. (This allows you to hear surround
sound if your AV receiver or amplifier has Dolby
Pro Logic capability.)
Audio Output Mode
• Default setting: 2 Channel
If you connected this player to your amplifier
using the 5.1 channel analog outputs (front,
surround, center and subwoofer outs), set this
to
5.1 Channel ; if you connected only the
stereo outs, set to
2 Channel .
Note
•Even if you set Audio Output Mode to 5.1
Channel
, you’ll only get sound from all
speakers when playing a 5.1 channel multi-
channel disc.
• When set to
5.1 Channel , only the front
left/right channels are output from the
AUDIO OUT (2ch) jacks. Change to 2
Channel
if you want to listen to downmixed
stereo audio (for example, because you are
listening through the TV’s built-in
speakers).
•When set to
5.1 Channel there is no digital
output when playing DVD-Audio.
•If you set to
2 Channel , Dolby Digital, DTS
and MPEG audio is mixed down to two
channels so you still hear all the audio
recorded on the disc. With DTS encoded
audio, you can choose how the signal is
downmixed to PCM audio. See
DTS
Downmix
above to change the downmix
setting.
• Some DVD-Audio discs don’t allow down-
mixing of audio. These discs always output
multi-channel audio regardless of the
setting made here.

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 36) 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 36) of this player should be set to
4:3 (Letter Box) or 4:3 (Pan&Scan) ,
depending on which you prefer.
Set to
4:3 (Letter Box) , widescreen discs are
shown with black bars top and bottom.
Set to
4:3 (Pan&Scan) , widescreen discs are
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 36.
When the player is set to output progressive
scan video, the
PRGSVE indicator lights in the
front panel display.
Important
• 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 11), then switch back
to
Interlace (see below).
Switching the video output to interlace
using the front panel controls
Switch the player to standby then, using the
front panel controls, press
STANDBY/ON
while pressing
to switch the player back to
Interlace .
Compatibility of this player with
progressive-scan and high-definition TVs
This player is compatible with progressive
video Macro Vision System Copy Guard.
Consumers should note that not all high-
definition television sets are fully compatible
with this product and may cause artifacts to be
displayed in the picture. In case of 525
progressive scan picture problems, it is
recommended that the user switch the
connection to the ‘standard definition’ output
(Interlace). If there are questions regarding our
TV set compatibility with this model, please
contact our customer service center.

• Settings: High , Medium , Low , Off
(default)
When watching Dolby Digital DVDs at low
volume, it’s easy to lose the quieter sounds
completely—including some of the dialog.
Switching Audio DRC (Dynamic Range
Control) to on can help by bringing up the
quieter sounds, while controlling loud peaks.
How much of a difference you hear depends on
the material you’re listening to. If the material
doesn’t have wide variations in volume, you
may not notice much change.
Note
• Audio DRC is only effective with Dolby
Digital audio sources.
• Audio DRC is only effective through the
digital output when
Digital Out is set to
On , and Dolby Digital Out is set to Dolby
Digital > PCM
(see Digital Audio Out
settings
on page 35).
• The effect of Audio DRC also depends on
your speakers and AV receiver settings.
Virtual Surround
• Settings: On , Off (default)
Switch on Virtual Surround to enjoy realistic
surround sound effects from just two speakers.
Tip
• You can also use the SURROUND button
on the remote control to switch Virtual
Surround on.
Note
• 96kHz Linear PCM audio is automatically
downsampled to 48kHz if Virtual Surround
is switched on.
• The
Audio Output Mode (see page 41)
must be set to
2 Channel in order to be
able to use Virtual Surround.

The new Country code is set and you will return
to the Options menu screen. Note that the new
Country code doesn’t take effect until the next
disc is loaded (or the current disc is reloaded).
DTS Downmix
• Default setting: Stereo
If you’ve selected DTS > PCM in DTS Out on
page 35 or
2 Channel in Audio Output Mode on
page 41, you can choose the way the signal is
downmixed to PCM audio.
Stereo will
downmix the DTS signal to 2-channel stereo,
whereas
Lt/Rt will downmix to a 2-channel
signal compatible with Dolby surround matrix
decoders. (This allows you to hear surround
sound if your AV receiver or amplifier has Dolby
Pro Logic capability.)
Audio Output Mode
• Default setting: 2 Channel
If you connected this player to your amplifier
using the 5.1 channel analog outputs (front,
surround, center and subwoofer outs), set this
to
5.1 Channel ; if you connected only the
stereo outs, set to
2 Channel .
Note
•Even if you set Audio Output Mode to 5.1
Channel
, you’ll only get sound from all
speakers when playing a 5.1 channel multi-
channel disc.
• When set to
5.1 Channel , only the front
left/right channels are output from the
AUDIO OUT (2ch) jacks. Change to 2
Channel
if you want to listen to downmixed
stereo audio (for example, because you are
listening through the TV’s built-in
speakers).
•When set to
5.1 Channel there is no digital
output when playing DVD-Audio.
•If you set to
2 Channel , Dolby Digital, DTS
and MPEG audio is mixed down to two
channels so you still hear all the audio
recorded on the disc. With DTS encoded
audio, you can choose how the signal is
downmixed to PCM audio. See
DTS
Downmix
above to change the downmix
setting.
• Some DVD-Audio discs don’t allow down-
mixing of audio. These discs always output
multi-channel audio regardless of the
setting made here.

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 36) 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 36) of this player should be set to
4:3 (Letter Box) or 4:3 (Pan&Scan) ,
depending on which you prefer.
Set to
4:3 (Letter Box) , widescreen discs are
shown with black bars top and bottom.
Set to
4:3 (Pan&Scan) , widescreen discs are
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 36.
When the player is set to output progressive
scan video, the
PRGSVE indicator lights in the
front panel display.
Important
• 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 11), then switch back
to
Interlace (see below).
Switching the video output to interlace
using the front panel controls
Switch the player to standby then, using the
front panel controls, press
 STANDBY/ON
while pressing
 to switch the player back to
Interlace .
Compatibility of this player with
progressive-scan and high-definition TVs
This player is compatible with progressive
video Macro Vision System Copy Guard.
Consumers should note that not all high-
definition television sets are fully compatible
with this product and may cause artifacts to be
displayed in the picture. In case of 525
progressive scan picture problems, it is
recommended that the user switch the
connection to the ‘standard definition’ output
(Interlace). If there are questions regarding our
TV set compatibility with this model, please
contact our customer service center.

How much of a difference you hear depends on
the material you’re listening to. If the material
doesn’t have wide variations in volume, you
may not notice much change.
Note
• Audio DRC is only effective with Dolby
Digital audio sources.
• Audio DRC is only effective through the
digital output when
Digital Out is set to
On , and Dolby Digital Out is set to Dolby
Digital > PCM
(see Digital Audio Out
settings
on page 35).
• The effect of Audio DRC also depends on
your speakers and AV receiver settings.

The new Country code is set and you will return
to the Options menu screen. Note that the new
Country code doesn’t take effect until the next
disc is loaded (or the current disc is reloaded).
DTS Downmix
• Default setting: Stereo
If you’ve selected DTS > PCM in DTS Out on
page 35 or
2 Channel in Audio Output Mode on
page 41, you can choose the way the signal is
downmixed to PCM audio.
Stereo will
downmix the DTS signal to 2-channel stereo,
whereas
Lt/Rt will downmix to a 2-channel
signal compatible with Dolby surround matrix
decoders. (This allows you to hear surround
sound if your AV receiver or amplifier has Dolby
Pro Logic capability.)
Audio Output Mode
• Default setting: 2 Channel
If you connected this player to your amplifier
using the 5.1 channel analog outputs (front,
surround, center and subwoofer outs), set this
to
5.1 Channel ; if you connected only the
stereo outs, set to
2 Channel .
Note
•Even if you set Audio Output Mode to 5.1
Channel
, you’ll only get sound from all
speakers when playing a 5.1 channel multi-
channel disc.
• When set to
5.1 Channel , only the front
left/right channels are output from the
AUDIO OUT (2ch) jacks. Change to 2
Channel
if you want to listen to downmixed
stereo audio (for example, because you are
listening through the TV’s built-in
speakers).
•When set to
5.1 Channel there is no digital
output when playing DVD-Audio.
•If you set to
2 Channel , Dolby Digital, DTS
and MPEG audio is mixed down to two
channels so you still hear all the audio
recorded on the disc. With DTS encoded
audio, you can choose how the signal is
downmixed to PCM audio. See
DTS
Downmix
above to change the downmix
setting.
• Some DVD-Audio discs don’t allow down-
mixing of audio. These discs always output
multi-channel audio regardless of the
setting made here.

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 36) 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 36) of this player should be set to
4:3 (Letter Box) or 4:3 (Pan&Scan) ,
depending on which you prefer.
Set to
4:3 (Letter Box) , widescreen discs are
shown with black bars top and bottom.
Set to
4:3 (Pan&Scan) , widescreen discs are
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.

•Make sure that the plus and minus ends of
each battery match the indications in the
battery compartment.
• Remove batteries from equipment that
isn’t going to be used for a month or more.
• When disposing of used batteries, please
comply with governmental regulations or
environmental public instruction’s rules
that apply in your country or area.

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 36.
When the player is set to output progressive
scan video, the
PRGSVE indicator lights in the
front panel display.
Important
• 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 11), then switch back
to
Interlace (see below).
Switching the video output to interlace
using the front panel controls
Switch the player to standby then, using the
front panel controls, press
 STANDBY/ON
while pressing
 to switch the player back to
Interlace .
Compatibility of this player with
progressive-scan and high-definition TVs
This player is compatible with progressive
video Macro Vision System Copy Guard.
Consumers should note that not all high-
definition television sets are fully compatible
with this product and may cause artifacts to be
displayed in the picture. In case of 525
progressive scan picture problems, it is
recommended that the user switch the
connection to the ‘standard definition’ output
(Interlace). If there are questions regarding our
TV set compatibility with this model, please
contact our customer service center.

volume, it’s easy to lose the quieter sounds
completely—including some of the dialog.
Switching Audio DRC (Dynamic Range
Control) to on can help by bringing up the

How much of a difference you hear depends on
the material you’re listening to. If the material
doesn’t have wide variations in volume, you
may not notice much change.
Note
• Audio DRC is only effective with Dolby
Digital audio sources.
• Audio DRC is only effective through the
digital output when
Digital Out is set to
On , and Dolby Digital Out is set to Dolby
Digital > PCM
(see Digital Audio Out

on page 35).
• The effect of Audio DRC also depends on
your speakers and AV receiver settings.

The new Country code is set and you will return
to the Options menu screen. Note that the new
Country code doesn’t take effect until the next
disc is loaded (or the current disc is reloaded).
DTS Downmix
• Default setting: Stereo
If you’ve selected DTS > PCM in DTS Out on
page 35 or
2 Channel in Audio Output Mode on
page 41, you can choose the way the signal is
downmixed to PCM audio.
Stereo will
downmix the DTS signal to 2-channel stereo,
whereas
Lt/Rt will downmix to a 2-channel
signal compatible with Dolby surround matrix
decoders. (This allows you to hear surround
sound if your AV receiver or amplifier has Dolby
Pro Logic capability.)
Audio Output Mode
• Default setting: 2 Channel
If you connected this player to your amplifier
using the 5.1 channel analog outputs (front,
surround, center and subwoofer outs), set this
to
5.1 Channel ; if you connected only the
stereo outs, set to
2 Channel .
Note
•Even if you set Audio Output Mode to 5.1
Channel
, you’ll only get sound from all
speakers when playing a 5.1 channel multi-
channel disc.
• When set to
5.1 Channel , only the front
left/right channels are output from the
AUDIO OUT (2ch) jacks. Change to 2
Channel
if you want to listen to downmixed
stereo audio (for example, because you are
listening through the TV’s built-in
speakers).
•When set to
5.1 Channel there is no digital
output when playing DVD-Audio.
•If you set to
2 Channel , Dolby Digital, DTS
and MPEG audio is mixed down to two
channels so you still hear all the audio
recorded on the disc. With DTS encoded
audio, you can choose how the signal is
downmixed to PCM audio. See
DTS
Downmix
above to change the downmix
setting.
• Some DVD-Audio discs don’t allow down-
mixing of audio. These discs always output
multi-channel audio regardless of the
setting made here.

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 36) 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 36) of this player should be set to
4:3 (Letter Box) or 4:3 (Pan&Scan) ,
depending on which you prefer.
Set to
4:3 (Letter Box) , widescreen discs are
shown with black bars top and bottom.
Set to
4:3 (Pan&Scan) , widescreen discs are
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.
