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.

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

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.

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.

Easy connections
Important
• Before making or changing any connections, switch off the power and disconnect the power
cable from the AC outlet.
• 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.
• 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.)
1 Connect the VIDEO OUT and AUDIO
OUT (5.1ch)/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.
2 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.

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 on page 40.
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
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.
• If the player is connected using HDMI,
disconnect the HDMI cable before
resetting the player to interlace output. (If
left connected, the HDMI output
resolution will be reset to its default — see
on
page 16.)
Connecting to an AV receiver
You can connect this player to your AV receiver
using the multichannel analog outputs or one
of the digital outputs.
In addition to these connections, you should
also connect the 2 channel analog outputs for
compatibility with all discs.
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 the analog AUDIO OUT
(5.1ch)/AUDIO OUT L/R and VIDEO OUT
jacks on this player to a set of analog audio
and video inputs on your AV receiver.
2 Connect the AV receiver’s video output
to a video input on your TV.
You can also use the S-video or component
video jacks to connect to the AV receiver if you
prefer.
Tip
• 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.

Basic playback controls
The table below shows the basic controls on
the remote for playing discs. The following
chapter covers other playback features in
more detail.
Resume and Last Memory
With the exception of DVD-Audio and SACD
discs, when you stop playback of a DVD, CD, or
Video CD or DivX video/WMV discs, RESUME
is shown in the display indicating that you can
resume playback again from that point.
If the disc tray is not opened, the next time you
start playback the display shows RESUME and
playback resumes from the resume point. (If
you want to clear the resume point, press
(stop) while RESUME is displayed.)
With DVDs and Video CDs, if you take the disc
out of the player after stopping playback, the
last play position is stored in memory. If the
next disc you load is the same one, the display
shows LAST MEM and playback will resume.
For DVD-Video discs, the player stores the play
position of the last five discs. When one of
these discs is next loaded, you can resume
playback.
Note
• The Last Memory function doesn’t work
with VR format DVD-R/-RW, DVD-Audio or
SACD discs.
• If you don’t need the Last Memory function
when you stop a disc, you can press
OPEN/CLOSE to stop playback and
open the disc tray.
Button What it does
Starts playback.
If the display shows RESUME or
LAST MEM playback starts from the
resume or last memory point (see
also
below.)
Pauses a disc that’s playing, or
restarts a paused disc.
Stops playback.
See also
below.

number. Press ENTER to select.
• If the disc is stopped, playback
starts from the selected title (for
DVD), group (for DVD-Audio) or
track (for CD/SACD/Video CD).

jumps to the start of the selected
title (VR mode DVD-RW), chapter
(DVD-Video) or track (DVD-Audio*/

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
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
on page 53.
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
on
page 51.
First check that you loaded the disc the
right way up (label side up), and that it’s
clean and undamaged. See
on page 51 for
information on cleaning discs.
If a disc loaded correctly won’t play, it’s
probably an incompatible format or disc
type, such as DVD-ROM. See
on page 8 for
more on disc compatibility.
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.
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.
Button What it does
RETURN Displays the PBC menu.
Numbers
(remote
only)
Use to enter a numbered menu
option. Press ENTER to select.
Displays the previous menu page (if
there is one).

there is one).

About the HDMI audio output settings
The table below shows how the audio settings you make in the HDMI Out (see on
page 39) and Audio Output Mode screens ( on page 45) affect the HDMI
output with various types of disc.
*1These formats include DVD-RW discs.
*2If the connected component is not DVD-Audio (CPPM) compatible, it is not possible to output
CPPM copy-controlled DVD-Audio sources from the HDMI connection (see
on page 48 for more on this).
*3If the discs prohibit downmixing, output Front L/R.
*4If the HDMI device you are using is not compatible with Multi-ch formats, the output signal is
the same as LPCM (2CH) setting.
*5If the HDMI device you are using is not compatible with these compressed formats, the signal
is output as linear PCM.
*6If the connected HDMI device is not compatible with protected audio contents (such as
DVD-Audio or SACD), SACD audio is not output from the HDMI terminal.
*7 Analog SACD audio is not output when you have set to Auto (DSD).

Additional information
Taking care of your player and
discs
General
Hold discs by the edge or by the center hole
and edge.
When you’re not using a disc, return it to its
case and store upright. Avoid leaving discs in
excessively cold, humid, or hot environments
(including under direct sunlight).
Don’t glue paper or put stickers on to discs. Do
not use a pencil, ball-point pen or other sharp-
tipped writing instrument to write on the disc.
Don’t use self-adhesive disc labels on discs as
these can cause the disc to warp slightly
during playback causing distortion in the
picture and/or sound.
Damaged and shaped discs
Do not use cracked, chipped, warped, or
otherwise damaged discs as they may damage
the player.
This player is designed to be used only with
conventional, fully circular discs. Do not use
shaped discs. Pioneer disclaims all liability
arising in connection with the use of shaped
discs.
Cleaning discs
Fingerprints and dust on discs can affect
playback performance. Clean using a soft, dry
cloth, wiping the disc lightly from the center to
the outside edge as shown below.
If necessary, use a cloth soaked in alcohol, or
a commercially available CD/DVD cleaning kit
to clean a disc more thoroughly. Never use
benzine, thinner or other cleaning agents,
including products designed for cleaning vinyl
records.
Cleaning the unit’s exterior
Unplug the unit before cleaning.
Use a 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.
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.
