POWER-CORD CAUTION  
CAUTION  
The STANDBY/ON switch on this unit will not  
completely shut off all power from the AC outlet.  
Since the power cord serves as the main disconnect  
device for the unit, you will need to unplug it from  
the AC outlet to shut down all power. Therefore,  
make sure the unit has been installed so that the  
power cord can be easily unplugged from the AC  
outlet in case of an accident. To avoid fire hazard,  
the power cord should also be unplugged from the  
AC outlet when left unused for a long period of time  
(for example, when on vacation).  
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. S002_En  
D3-4-2-2-2a_A_En  
If the AC plug of this unit does not match the AC  
outlet you want to use, the plug must be removed  
and appropriate one fitted. Replacement and  
mounting of an AC plug on the power supply cord of  
this unit should be performed only by qualified  
service personnel. If connected to an AC outlet, the  
cut-off plug can cause severe electrical shock. Make  
sure it is properly disposed of after removal.

provides the video and audio signals for  
connection to a compatible color TV/monitor.  
About progressive scan video  
Compared to interlace video, progressive scan  
video effectively doubles the scanning rate of  
the picture, resulting in a very stable, flicker-  
free image. Progressive scan video is available  
only from the component video output.  
Note  
1 The component video output is switchable between interlaced and progressive formats. See Video Output settings on page 26.  
2 Consumers should note that not all high-definition television sets are fully compatible with this product and may cause arti-  
facts 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.  
3 SCART cables are available in several configurations. Make sure that the one you get will work with this system and your TV/  
monitor (see SCART pin assignment above).

About HDMI  
HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface)  
supports both video and audio on a single  
digital connection for use with DVD players,  
DTV, set-top boxes, and other AV devices. HDMI  
was developed to provide the technologies of  
High Bandwidth Digital Content Protection  
(HDCP) as well as Digital Visual Interface (DVI)  
in one specification. HDCP is used to protect  
digital content transmitted and received by DVI-  
compliant displays.  
You can also adjust the HDMI settings for  
resolution and color. For more on these  
settings see Video Output settings on page 26.  
Switching the HDMI audio setting  
To listen to audio from the HDMI interconnect,  
make sure you’ve specified the HDMI audio  
output setting.  
HDMI has the capability to support standard,  
enhanced, or high-definition video plus  
standard to multichannel surround-sound  
audio. HDMI features include uncompressed  
digital video, a bandwidth of up to 2.2 gigabytes  
per second (with HDTV signals), one connector  
(instead of several cables and connectors), and  
communication between the AV source and AV  
devices such as DTVs.

Disc / content format playback  
compatibility  
A DualDisc is a new two -sided disc, one side  
of which contains DVD content video, audio,  
etc. while the other side contains non-DVD  
content such as digital audio material.  
This player is compatible with a wide range of  
disc types (media) and formats. Playable discs  
will generally feature one of the following logos  
on the disc and/or disc packaging. Note  
however that some disc types, such as  
recordable CD and DVD, may be in an  
unplayable format.  
The non-DVD, audio side of the disc is not  
compliant with the CD Audio specification and  
therefore may not play.  
The DVD side of a DualDisc plays in this  
product. DVD-Audio content will not play.  
See the Disc compatibility table below for more  
information.

DVD Video regions  
Cleaning the pickup lens  
All DVD Video discs carry a region mark that  
indicates which region(s) of the world the disc  
is compatible with. Your DVD system also has  
a region mark (on the rear panel). Discs from  
incompatible regions will not play in this  
player. Discs marked ALL play in any player.  
The DVD player’s lens should not become dirty  
in normal use, but if for some reason it should  
malfunction due to dust or dirt, consult your  
nearest Pioneer authorized service center.  
Although lens cleaners are commercially  
available, we do not recommend using them  
since some may damage the lens.  
Installation and maintenance  
Problems with condensation  
Condensation may form inside the player if it is  
brought into a warm room from outside, or if  
the temperature of the room rises quickly.  
Although the condensation won’t damage the  
player, it may temporarily impair performance.  
Leave it to adjust to the warmer temperature  
for about an hour before switching on.  
Hints on installation  
We want you to enjoy using this system for  
years to come, so please bear in mind the  
following points when choosing a location:

component in your stereo system that becomes  
hot in use.  
Use near a television or monitor as you may  
experience interference—especially if the  
television uses an indoor antenna.  
Screen sizes and disc formats  
DVD-Video discs come in different screen  
aspects, ranging from TV programs, which are  
generally 4:3, to CinemaScope widescreen

Note  
3 • Using the 16:9 (Wide) setting with a standard 4:3 TV, or one of the 4:3 settings with a widescreen TV, will result in distortion.  
• 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.  
• Some movie aspect ratios are wider than 16:9, so even with a widescreen TV, these discs will still play in a ‘letterbox’ style.  
1 Most models of the newly developed countdown PAL TV system detect 50 Hz (PAL)/60 Hz (NTSC) and automatically switch  
vertical amplitude, resulting in a display without vertical shrinkage. However, in some cases, the image may appear without col-  
or. If your PAL TV does not have a V-Hold control, you may not be able to watch NTSC discs because of picture roll. If the TV has  
a V-Hold control, adjust it until the picture stops rolling. On some TVs, the picture may shrink vertically, leaving black bands at  
the top and bottom of the screen.
