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

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

80Average 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

Features

BD-ROM playback

Blu-ray Disc is a next-generation video disc format featuring far higher disc capacity than conventional DVD. The higher capacity makes a whole range of new and enhanced features possible, such as support for high-definition video up to 1920 x 1080 pixels, high quality, surround sound audio, greater interactivity and richer content.

BD-ROM discs are commercially produced discs (Video Distribution format) that can contain movie and other video content, interactive content, enhanced menu features such as pop-up menus (press POPUP MENU/MENU during playback for these), full-color, high- definition animated buttons and animated menu transition effects, button sounds (sounds are played when menu buttons are selected or activated), high-definition bitmap subtitles supporting full-color images with frame-accurate animation effects up to full video frame rate, and so on.

While BD capacity is enough for most applications, the BD-ROM standard allows for content to be spread across several discs, removing the limit of one physical disc. Follow the on-screen instructions during playback when using these special kinds of discs.

This player has standard (composite), S-Video and component video outputs, as well as an HDMI connector (for digital video/audio).

In order to be able to watch HD (high definition) BDs at their full resolution, you should connect the player to your TV using either the component video output, or (even better) the HDMI output.

An HDMI connection will additionally give you HD output when watching DVDs.

If your display has neither of these connection types, an S-Video jack is also provided, which should give slightly better video quality than using the standard video output.

Connecting up

Connecting for HDMI output

If you have an HDMI or DVI (with HDCP) equipped monitor or display, you can connect it to this player using a commercially available HDMI cable.

The HDMI connector outputs uncompressed digital video, as well as most digital audio formats.

Important

???This unit has been designed to be compliant with HDMI (High- Definition Multimedia Interface). Depending on the component you have connected, using a DVI connection may result in unreliable signal transfers.

???If you change the display connected to the HDMI output, you will also need to change the Output Video Resolution settings to match the new display (see Changing the output video resolution on page 14 to do this).

???The HDMI connection is compatible with 8-channel linear PCM signals (44.1 kHz to 192 kHz1, 16 bit/20 bit/24 bit), Dolby Digital bitstream and DTS (5.1 channel signals) bitstream.

???Depending on the HDMI cable being used, 1080p output may not appear correctly.

???If you connect a DVI device to the HDMI output of this player, ensure that it is compliant with High-bandwidth Digital Content

Protection (HDCP). If you choose to connect to a DVI connector, you will need a separate adaptor (DVI???HDMI) to do so. A DVI connection, however, does not support audio signals. Consult your local audio dealer for more information.

02

??? Use an HDMI cable (not supplied) to connect the HDMI OUT interconnect on this player to an HDMI interconnect on an HDMI-compatible display.

HDMI IN

VIDEO OUT

???The arrow on the cable connector body should be face up for correct alignment with the connector on the player.

After switching on the player you may need to set the output video resolution and HDMI color space for compatibility with your display. See Changing the output video resolution on page 14 and HDMI Color Space in Using the Initial Setup menu on page 41.

About HDMI

HDMI supports both standard and high-definition video, plus standard and multi-channel surround-sound audio. HDMI features include uncompressed digital video, one connector (instead of several cables and connectors), and communication between the AV source and AV devices such as DTVs.

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.

About HDMI Control

You can enable HDMI Control by turning the HDMI Control setting to On for all components connected via HDMI cable. Check the video output from this unit once you have completed making connections and settings for all components. You will need to check the video output each time you change connected components or remove the HDMI cable.

02 Connecting up

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).

??? 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.

Be careful to match up the colors of the three jacks for correct connection.

VIDEO OUT

Changing the output video resolution

Use the OUTPUT RESOLUTION button located on both the front panel and the remote control to switch the output video resolution for the HDMI and component video outputs.

The table below shows the output settings.

*1 Video output is 480i during copy protected DVD-Video playback.

*2 Video output during BD-ROM playback is 480i depending on the disc.

*3 Refer to 24p output below for conditions.

*4 The frame frequency for 1080/24p is still 60 Hz.

*5 The video output will be interrupted when switching the video output.

*6 For resolutions that cannot be output by component output, video is output in the following resolutions: 480/60i

Note

???Depending on your display, some of the settings may result in the picture disappearing. In this case, press OUTPUT RESOLUTION repeatedly until the picture re-appears.

???1080/60p and 1080/24p output is only compatible with HDMI displays. They are not compatible with the component video output.

???When Output Video Resolution is set to 720p, 1080i or 1080p, video is output in 16:9 format even if TV Aspect Ratio is set to 4:3 (Standard). See TV Aspect Ratio on page 41.

???If the contours of the displayed subjects look jagged or blurred, try setting the Output Video Resolution to 480i. (If you connected this player to your TV with the HDMI connection and the picture disappears when you switch the Output Video Resolution to 480i, use the component connection with the 480i Output Video Resolution or S-Video, the standard composite connection instead.)

???Note that when using a Component Video connection with a TV or other AV component (not using HDMI), 480/60i video may be output in 480/60p.

24p output

For smooth presentation of 1080/24p or 720/24p video with an HDMI-equipped display compatible with 1080/24p input, set 24p Direct Out on this player to On (see page 41).

This player will output 1080/24p video over HDMI in the following cases:

???1080/24p video: When the Output Video Resolution is set to

Auto or Source Direct.

???720/24p video: When the Output Video Resolution is set to Auto.

Note

???Even when 24p Direct Out is set to On, if a TV not compatible with 1080/24p video is connected, the actual frame frequency of the video output will be 60 Hz.

???The video output will be interrupted when switching the video output from 1080/24p or 720/24p to other output video resolutions, or when switching to 1080/24p or 720/24p from other output video resolutions.

Connecting up

Connecting using an S-Video output

You can use the S-Video output instead of the VIDEO OUT jack to connect this player to your TV (or other equipment).

??? Use an S-Video cable (not supplied) to connect the S-VIDEO OUT to an S-Video input on your TV, monitor or AV receiver.

Line up the small triangle above the jack with the same mark on the plug before plugging in.

02

Optical connection: Use an optical cable (not supplied) to connect the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT ??? OPTICAL jack to an optical input on your AV receiver.

???When inserting the plug, the protective shutter will open and you should hear the plug click into position when fully inserted. Take care not to force the plug as this may damage the shutter, the cable and/or the player.

Coaxial connection: Use a coaxial cable (not supplied) to connect the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT ??? COAXIAL jack to a coaxial input on your AV receiver.

Note

???Linear PCM audio output over the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jacks is limited to 2ch, 48 kHz.

Analog connections

??? Connect the AUDIO OUT (5.1ch) jacks on this player to the multi-channel analog inputs on your AV receiver.

Use a dedicated six-way cable (not supplied), or three sets of stereo cables (not supplied) to connect the six channels.

Check carefully that each channel is connected to its corresponding channel on the AV receiver.

After connecting, you can make settings for the number of speakers connected to your system ??? see the Speakers section of the Initial Setup menu on page 43 and Speaker Setup on page 45.

Frequently Asked Questions

???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 not damaged. See Taking care of your player and discs on page 46 for information on cleaning discs.

If a disc loaded correctly won???t play, it???s probably an incompatible format or disc type. See Disc/content format playback compatibility on page 8 for more on disc compatibility.

???There???s no picture!

Your TV is probably not compatible with the selected video output resolution. Check your TV for compatibility with progressive scan video and higher resolutions. Press the OUTPUT RESOLUTION button to switch the video output. See also Changing the output video resolution on page 14.

???I can???t see any picture, or get high definition video output when playing some BDs!

When playing some discs, there may be no composite video, S-Video and/or component video output, or high-definition content may be converted to standard-definition 480i or 480p component output. This is for content protection. To view the disc, connect the player to an HDMI-compatible display. See

Connecting for HDMI output on page 13.

???I have 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 appear at the top and bottom of the screen. This is not a malfunction.

???I???ve connected to a HDMI/DVI compatible component but I can???t get any signal and the front panel HDMI indicator won???t light!

Make sure that you???ve selected this player as the HDMI input in the settings for the component you???re using. You may need to refer to the instruction manual of the component to do this.

An HDMI connection can only be made with other HDMI components, or a High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP)-compatible DVI component. See Connecting for HDMI output on page 13 for more on HDMI compatibility.

???There???s no picture from the HDMI output!

Make sure the output resolution of this player matches that of the component you have connected using HDMI. See Changing the output video resolution on page 14.

???Why is the playback sample rate of the DVD only 48 kHz instead of 96 kHz?

Playback sample rate of the audio is downsampled to 48 kHz.

???My AV receiver is definitely compatible with 96 kHz Linear PCM audio, but it doesn???t seem to work with this player. What???s wrong?

192 kHz/96 kHz BD and 96 kHz DVD discs only output digital audio downsampled to 48 kHz through the optical and coaxial outputs.

96 kHz 7.1ch BD discs only output digital audio downsampled to 48 kHz through HDMI output when video output is 480i or 480p over HDMI. These are not malfunctions.

26

???Why is the mono audio on some discs rather quiet compared to other discs?

Taking care of your player and discs

Handling discs

When holding discs of any type, take care not to leave fingerprints, dirt or scratches on the disc surface. Hold the disc by its edge or by the center hole and edge.

Damaged or dirty discs can affect playback performance. Take care also not to scratch the label side of the disc. Although not as fragile as the recorded side, scratches can still result in a disc becoming unusable.

Should a disc become marked with fingerprints, dust, etc., clean using a soft, dry cloth, wiping the disc lightly from the center to the outside edge as shown in the diagram below.

Wipe lightly from the center of the disc using straight strokes.

Don???t wipe the disc surface using circular strokes.

Damaged and odd-shaped discs

Discs spin at high speed inside the player. If you can see that a disc is cracked, chipped, warped, or otherwise damaged, don???t risk using it in your player ??? you could end up damaging it.

This player is designed for use with conventional, fully circular discs only. Use of shaped discs is not recommended for this product. Pioneer disclaims all liability arising in connection with the use of shaped discs.

Do not use any kind of adapter when playing 8 cm DVD discs. This size disc can be played in this player without an adapter; just use the smaller disc guide in the disc tray.

Cleaning the pickup lens

The player???s lens should not become dirty in normal use, but if for some reason it should malfunction due to dust or dirt, consult your nearest Pioneer-authorized service center. Although lens cleaners for DVD players are commercially available, we advise against using them since some may damage the lens.

If necessary, use a cloth soaked in alcohol, or a commercially available DVD/BD cleaning kit to clean a disc more thoroughly. Never use benzine, thinner or other cleaning agents, including products designed for cleaning vinyl records.

Storing discs

Although BD and DVD discs are more durable than vinyl records, you should still take care to handle and store discs correctly. 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 onto the disc, or use a pencil, ball- point pen or other sharp-tipped writing instrument. These could all damage the disc.

For more detailed care information see the instructions that come with discs.

Do not load more than one disc into the player at a time.

Problems with condensation

Condensation may form inside the player if it is brought into a warm room from outside, or if the temperature of the room rises quickly. Although the condensation won???t damage the player, it may temporarily impair its performance. For this reason you should leave it to adjust to the warmer temperature for about an hour before switching on and using.

Moving the player

If you need to move this unit, first remove the disc, if there???s one loaded, and close the disc tray. Next, press ??? STANDBY/ON to switch the power to standby, checking that the power off indication in the display goes off. Wait at least 10 seconds. Lastly, disconnect the power cord.

Never lift or move the unit during playback ??? discs rotate at a high speed and may be damaged.

Screen sizes and disc formats

BD-ROM and 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 Aspect Ratio setting (page 41) of this player should be set to 16:9 (Widescreen).

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 Aspect Ratio setting (page 41) of this player should be set to 4:3 (Standard).

Additional information

Glossary

Analog audio

An electrical signal that directly represents sound. Compare this to digital audio which can also be an electrical signal, but is an indirect representation of sound. See also Digital audio.

Aspect ratio

The width of a TV screen relative to its height. Conventional TVs are 4:3 (in other words, the screen is almost square); widescreen models are 16:9 (the screen is almost twice as wide as it is high).

BD-J

BD-J is the Java specification for BD-ROM, allowing content providers to put interactive material linked to specific titles on the disc.

Default Gateway

Default Gateway is a node on a computer network that serves as an access point to another network. A default gateway (such as a computer and router) is used to forward all traffic that is not addressed to a station within the local subnet.

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) Server

A DHCP server is a server that allocates IP addresses to hosts (network devices). In most cases, a broadband router serves as a DHCP server in a home network.

Digital audio

An indirect representation of sound by numbers. During recording, the sound is measured at discrete intervals by an analog-to-digital converter, generating a stream of numbers. On playback, a digital- to-analog converter generates an analog signal based on these numbers. See also Sampling frequency and Analog audio.

DRM (Digital Rights Management)

DRM is one of several technologies that controls access to and use of digital data, such as music, movies and other copyrighted contents.

Dynamic range

The difference between the quietest and loudest sounds possible in an audio signal (without distorting or getting lost in noise). Dolby Digital and DTS soundtracks are capable of a very wide dynamic range, delivering dramatic cinema-like effects.

Ethernet

A frame-based computer networking technology for local area networks (LANs). This player supports 100BASE-TX and 10BASE-T.

File extension

A tag added to the end of a filename to indicate the type of file. For example, ???.jpg??? indicates an JPEG image file.

HDMI

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is a high-speed digital interface which has the capability to support standard or high- definition video plus standard to multi-channel surround-sound audio on a single digital connection.

09

Interactive audio

Interactive audio is Linear PCM (LPCM) audio activated by a BD- ROM application and mixed with the primary audio. It is typically used to provide dynamic sounds associated with interactive applications, such as button sounds.

Interlaced video

A method of displaying a picture in which odd-numbered lines are updated in one pass, then even-numbered lines updated in the next. See also Progressive scan video.

IP (Internet Protocol) address

A unique number that devices use in order to identify and communicate with each other on a network utilizing the Internet Protocol standard, such as ???192.168.0.1???. No duplicate numbers are allowed in the network.

LAN cable

A cable that has an 8-pin modular plug on each end and is different from a telephone plug which has 4 pins. A straight cable is used when connecting this player to a home network via a hub. A cross- over cable is used when connecting directly to a PC.

MAC (Media Access Control) address

An address attached to the port of any device. The MAC address cannot be changed.

PCM (Pulse Code Modulation)

A common system of encoding digital audio. Excellent quality, but requires a lot of data compared to formats such as Dolby Digital and MPEG audio. For compatibility with digital audio recorders and AV amplifiers with digital inputs, this unit can convert Dolby Digital, DTS and MPEG audio to PCM. See also Digital audio.

Pop-up menu (BD only)

A context-sensitive menu that can be used without interrupting playback of a BD.

Progressive scan video

Also called non-interlaced video, this method of displaying a picture updates all the lines in one pass, resulting in a more stable, flicker- free image than interlaced video (for a given scanning rate). See also

Interlaced video.

Regions (DVD-Video and BD-ROM)

These associate discs and players with particular areas of the world. This unit will only play discs that have a compatible region code (i.e., the same code as your player). You can find the region code of your unit by looking on the rear panel. Some discs are compatible with more than one region (or all regions).

Note that the region systems for DVD and BD are not the same.

Sampling frequency

The rate at which sound is measured to be turned into digital audio data. The higher the rate, the better the sound quality, but the more digital information is generated. For example, a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz means 44 100 samples (measurements) per second. See also Digital audio.

Subnet mask

The IP address is divided into the network address part and the host address part. The subnet mask is expressed as ???255.255.255.0???. In most cases, the subnet mask is automatically assigned by the DHCP server.
