Do not connect this player to your TV via a VCR using AV 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 Component Out setting (page 52) to Progressive . 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. 2 Connect the supplied AC power cable to the AC IN inlet, then plug into a power outlet. ⢠Before unplugging the player from the power outlet, make sure you first switch it into standby using either the front panel î STANDBY/ON button, or the remote control, and wait of the -OFF- message to disappear from the playerâÂÂs display. ⢠For the above reasons, do not plug this player into a switched power supply found on some amplifiers and AV receivers. ⢠When TV System is set to AUTO or NTSC , and playing an NTSC disc only: When Component Out (page 52) is set to Progressive , there is no video output from the VIDEO OUT (composite) and S (S-video) jacks. If you want to display video on more than one monitor simulta- neously, make sure that it is set to Inter- lace . Switch the player to standby then, using the front panel controls, press î STANDBY/ON while pressing îÂÂî to switch the player back to Interlace . Connecting using the S-video output If your TV (or other equipment) has an S-video input, you can use this instead of the stan- dard (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 up 02 14 En 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 equip- ment). 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. ⢠To set up the player for use with a progres- sive scan TV, see Component Out on page 52. Taiwanese model only: Connecting using the D1/D2 video output If your TV is equipped with a D type video input, you can use a D video cable to connect this player to your TV. ⢠Use a D video cable (not supplied) to connect the VIDEO OUT D1/D2 jacks to a D type video input on your TV, monitor or AV receiver. ⢠The D video output on this player outputs only NTSC video.

Connecting up 02 15 En Connecting to an AV receiver To enjoy multichannel surround sound you need to connect this player to an AV receiver using a digital output. This player has both coaxial and optical digital jacks; use which- ever is convenient. In addition to a digital connection, we recom- mend also connecting using the stereo analog connection. YouâÂÂll 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 one of DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jacks on this player to a digital input on your AV receiver. This enables you to listen to multichannel surround sound. For an optical connection, use an optical cable (not supplied) to connect the OPTICAL DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack to an optical input on your AV receiver. For a coaxial connection, use a coaxial cable (similar to the supplied video cable) to connect the COAXIAL DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack to a coaxial input on your AV receiver. 2 Connect the analog AUDIO OUT L/R and VIDEO OUT jacks on this player to a set of analog audio and video inputs on your AV receiver. The diagram shows standard video connec- tions, but you can alternatively use the S-video or component video connections if theyâÂÂre available. 3 Connect the AV receiverâÂÂs video output to a video input on your TV. ⢠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. ⢠My TV doesnâÂÂt have any inputs to connect the DVD player. How can I watch DVDs? If your TV has no inputs you canâÂÂt use this player with it.

Connecting up 02 16 En ⢠My VCR is already connected to my TV, so there arenâÂÂt any spare inputs. What should I do? If all your TVâÂÂs inputs are already in use, you can buy a video input selector from an electronics store, which effectively gives you more inputs. ⢠My TV only has one input for the sound. What should I plug it into? If you donâÂÂt mind mono sound, you can buy a stereo RCA-to-mono RCA cable from an electronics store. Connect the stereo end to this player and the mono end to your TV. If you want stereo sound, connect this player to your amplifier or stereo system using a stereo audio cable. â¢I connected the DVD player to my AV receiver, and although the sound is fine, thereâÂÂs no picture. What did I do wrong? Make sure that the correct video input is selected on your TV. Also make sure that the type of video connection from the DVD player to your AV receiver is the same as that from the receiver to your TV. Most AV receivers wonâÂÂt convert from one kind of connection to another. DV260.book 16 ãÂÂã¼ã¸ ï¼Âï¼Âï¼Âï¼Âå¹´ï¼ÂæÂÂï¼Âï¼ÂæÂ¥ãÂÂç«æÂÂæÂ¥ãÂÂÃ¥ÂÂå¾Âï¼ÂæÂÂï¼Âï¼ÂÃ¥ÂÂ

Getting started 04 27 En Playing discs The basic playback controls for playing DVD, CD, Video CD/Super VCD and WMA/MP3 discs are covered here. Further functions are detailed in the next chapter. 1 If the player isnâÂÂt already on, press î STANDBY/ON to switch it on. If youâÂÂre playing a DVD or Video CD/Super VCD, also turn on your TV and make sure that it is set to the correct video input. 2 Press î OPEN/CLOSE to open the disc tray. 3 Load a disc. Load a disc with the label side facing up, using the disc tray guide to align the disc (if youâÂÂre loading a double-sided DVD disc, load it with the side you want to play face down). 4 Press î (play) to start playback. If youâÂÂre playing a DVD or Video CD/Super VCD, a menu may appear. See DVD-Video disc menus on page 30 and Video CD/Super VCD PBC menus on page 31 for more on how to navigate these. If youâÂÂre playing an WMA/MP3 disc, it may take a few seconds before playback starts, depending on the complexity of the file struc- ture on the disc. If you loaded a CD/CD-R/RW containing JPEGs, a slideshow will start. See Viewing JPEG discs on page 44 for more on playing these discs. ⢠See also PhotoViewer on page 59 if the disc contains both WMA/MP3 audio files and JPEG picture files (by default, you will not be able to play the WMA/MP3 files). 0 1 23 4 56 789 STANDBY/ON OPEN/CLOSE ENTER ENTER î î î îÂÂ/î îÂÂ/î î î î î î î DV260.book 27 ãÂÂã¼ã¸ ï¼Âï¼Âï¼Âï¼Âå¹´ï¼ÂæÂÂï¼Âï¼ÂæÂ¥ãÂÂç«æÂÂæÂ¥ãÂÂÃ¥ÂÂå¾Âï¼ÂæÂÂï¼Âï¼ÂÃ¥ÂÂ
Getting started 04 28 En ⢠After I load a DVD disc, it ejects automati- cally 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 64. 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 on page 60. ⢠Why wonâÂÂt the disc I loaded play? First check that you loaded the disc the right way up (label side up), and that itâÂÂs clean and not damaged. See Taking care of your player and discs on page 60 for information on cleaning discs. If a disc loaded correctly wonâÂÂt play, itâÂÂs probably an incompatible format or disc type, such as DVD-Audio or DVD-ROM. See Disc / content format playback compatibility on page 8 for more on disc compatibility. â¢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 are necessary at the top and bottom of the screen. This is not a malfunction. â¢I have 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 prefer- ences 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. ⢠My AV receiver is definitely compatible with 96kHz Linear PCM audio, but it doesnâÂÂt seem to work with this player. WhatâÂÂs wrong? For digital copy-protection purposes, some 96kHz DVD discs are automatically downsampled to 48kHz. This is not a malfunction. With these kinds of discs, if you want to enjoy high-quality analog audio, set Digital Out to Off (see Digital Out on page 50), and 96kHz PCM Out to 96kHz (see 96kHz PCM Out on page 51).

Getting started 04 30 En Resume and Last Memory When you stop playback of a DVD or Video CD/Super VCD disc, RESUME is shown in the display indicating that you can resume play- back 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. For DVD discs only: If you take the disc out of the player, the play position is stored in memory. When you load the disc next time, the display shows LAST MEM and you can resume playback (this works for up to five discs). If you want to clear the resume/last memory point, press î (stop) while RESUME or LAST MEM is displayed. ⢠When a Video CD/Super VCD is loaded, the Resume point is lost if the player is switched off. ⢠For the Last Memory function to work, you must press î (stop) to stop playback before opening the disc tray. ⢠The Last Memory function doesnâÂÂt work with VR format DVD-RW discs.

For an expla- nation of how to navigate these, see Using the on-screen displays on page 24. Many of the functions covered in this chapter apply to DVD discs, Video CD/Super VCDs, CDs and WMA/MP3/JPEG discs, although the exact operation of some varies slightly with the kind of disc loaded. Some DVD discs restrict the use of some functions (random or repeat, for example). This is not a malfunction. When playing Video CD/Super VCDs, some of the functions are not available during PBC playback. If you want to use them, start the disc playing using a number button to select a track.

Additional information 10 60 En Chapter 10 Additional information 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 finger- prints, 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. DonâÂÂt wipe the disc surface using circular strokes. 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. Storing discs Although CDs 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.

Additional information 10 61 En Discs to avoid 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 playerâÂÂyou could end up damaging it. This player is designed for use with conven- tional, 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. Cleaning the unitâÂÂs exterior ⢠Use a polishing cloth or 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 since they will corrode the surfaces. ⢠If you use a chemical-impregnated cleaning cloth, read the instructions care- fully before use. These cloths may leave smear marks on half-mirror finish surfaces; if this happens, finish with a dry cloth. ⢠Unplug the unit when cleaning. Cleaning the pickup lens The DVD playerâÂÂs 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 CD players are commercially available, we do not recommend using them since some may damage the lens. 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 wonâÂÂt damage the player, it may temporarily impair its perfor- mance. For this reason you should leave it to adjust to the warmer temperature for about an hour before switching on and using. Hints on installation We want you to enjoy using this product for years to come, so please bear in mind the following points when choosing a suitable location for it: Do... ⢠Use in a well-ventilated room. ⢠Place on a solid, flat, level surface, such as a table, shelf or stereo rack.

Moving the player If you need to move the player, first press î 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 play- backâÂÂdiscs rotate at a high speed and may be damaged. Power cable caution Handle the power cable by the plug part. Do not pull out the plug by tugging the cable, and never touch the power cable when your hands are wet, as this could cause a short circuit or electric shock. Do not place the unit, a piece of furniture, or other object on the power cable or pinch the cable in any other way. Never make a knot in the cable or tie it with other cables. The power cables should be routed so that they are not likely to be stepped on. A damaged power cable can cause a fire or give you an electric shock. Check the power cable once in a while. If you find it damaged, ask your nearest Pioneer authorized service center or your dealer for a replacement. 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 Cinema- Scope widescreen movies, with an aspect ratio of up to about 7:3. Televisions, too, come in different aspect ratios; âÂÂstandardâ 4:3 and widescreen 16:9. Widescreen TV users If you have a widescreen TV, the TV Screen setting (page 52) 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 âÂÂletter boxâ 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 52) 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. DV260.book 62 ãÂÂã¼ã¸ ï¼Âï¼Âï¼Âï¼Âå¹´ï¼ÂæÂÂï¼Âï¼ÂæÂ¥ãÂÂç«æÂÂæÂ¥ãÂÂÃ¥ÂÂå¾Âï¼ÂæÂÂï¼Âï¼ÂÃ¥ÂÂ
Additional information 10 63 En Set to 4:3 (Pan&Scan) , widescreen discs are shown with the left and right sides cropped. Although the picture looks larger, you donâÂÂt actually see the whole picture. Please note that many widescreen discs over- ride the playerâÂÂs settings so that the disc is shown in letter box format regardless of the setting. ⢠Using the 16:9 (Wide) setting with a stan- dard 4:3 TV, or either of the 4:3 settings with a widescreen TV, will result in a distorted picture. Resetting the player Use this procedure to reset all the playerâÂÂs settings to the factory default. 1 Switch the player into standby. 2 Using the front panel buttons, hold down the î (stop) button and press î STANDBY/ON to switch the player back on.

Additional information 10 66 En Glossary Analog audio An electrical signal that directly represents sound. Compare this to digital audio which can 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). Digital audio An indirect representation of sound by numbers. During recording, the sound is measured at discrete intervals (44,100 times a second for CD audio) 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 . Dolby Digital 1 Using a maximum of 5.1 channels of audio, this high quality surround system is used in many of the finer movie theaters around the world. The on-screen display shows which channels are active, for example showing 3/2.1. The 3 being the two front channels and the center channel; the 2 being the surround channels, and the .1 being the LFE channel. DRM DRM (digital rights management) is a type of server software developed to enable secure distribution of paid content over the web, recently incorporated by WMA (Windows Media Audio ). DTS DTS stands for Digital Theater Systems. DTS is a surround system different from Dolby Digital that has become a popular surround sound format for movies. 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, deliv- ering dramatic cinema-like effects. EXIF (Exchangeable Image File) A file format developed by Fuji Photo Film for digital still cameras. Digital cameras from various manuafcturers use this compressed file format which carries date, time and thumbnail information, as well as the picture data. File extension A tag added to the end of a filename to indi- cate the type of file. For example, âÂÂ.mp3â indi- cates an MP3 file. ISO 9660 format International standard for the volume and file structure of CD-ROM discs. DV260.book 66 ãÂÂã¼ã¸ ï¼Âï¼Âï¼Âï¼Âå¹´ï¼ÂæÂÂï¼Âï¼ÂæÂ¥ãÂÂç«æÂÂæÂ¥ãÂÂÃ¥ÂÂå¾Âï¼ÂæÂÂï¼Âï¼ÂÃ¥ÂÂ
Additional information 10 67 En JPEG A file format used for still images, such as photographs and illustrations. JPEG files are identified by the file extension âÂÂ.jpgâ or âÂÂ.JPGâÂÂ. Most digital cameras use this format. MP3 MP3 (MPEG1 audio layer 3) is a compressed audio file format. Files are recognized by their file extension âÂÂ.mp3â or âÂÂ.MP3âÂÂ. MPEG audio An audio format used on Video CD/Super VCDs and some DVD discs. This unit can convert MPEG audio to PCM format for wider compatibility with digital recorders and AV amplifiers. See also PCM (Pulse Code Modula- tion) . MPEG video The video format used for Video CD/Super VCDs and DVDs. Video CD/Super VCD uses the older MPEG-1 standard, while DVD uses the newer and much better quality MPEG-2 standard. PBC (PlayBack Control) (Video CD/Super VCD only) A system of navigating a Video CD/Super VCD through on-screen menus recorded onto the disc. Especially good for discs that you would normally not watch from beginning to end all at onceâÂÂkaraoke discs, for example. PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) The most common system of encoding digital audio, found on CDs and DAT. Excellent quality, but requires a lot of data compared to formats such as Dolby Digital and MPEG audio. For compatibility with digital audio recorders (CD, MD and DAT) and AV ampli- fiers with digital inputs, this unit can convert Dolby Digital, DTS and MPEG audio to PCM. See also Digital audio . Regions (DVD-Video only) These associate discs and players with partic- ular areas of the world. This unit will only play discs that have compatible region codes. 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). 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. Stan- dard CD audio has a sampling frequency of 44.1kHz, which means 44,100 samples (measurements) per second. See also Digital audio . WMA WMA is short for Windows Media Audio and refers to an audio compression technology developed by Microsoft Corporation. WMA data can be encoded by using Windows Media Player version 8 or Windows Media Player for Windows XP. Files are recognized by their file extension âÂÂ.wmaâ or âÂÂ.WMAâÂÂ. Microsoft, Windows Media, and the Windows logo are trademarks, or registered trade- marks of Microsoft Corporation in the United States and/or other countries.

Additional information 10 68 En Setting the TV system (Except Taiwanese model) The default setting of this player is AUTO , and unless you notice that the picture is distorted when playing some discs, you should leave it set to AUTO . If you experience picture distor- tion with some discs, set the TV system to match your country or regionâÂÂs system. Doing this, however, may restrict the kinds of disc you can watch. The table below shows what kinds of disc are compatible with each setting ( AUTO , PAL and NTSC ). 1 If the player is on, press î STANDBY/ ON to switch it to standby. 2 Using the front panel controls, hold down îÂÂî then press î STANDBY/ON to switch the TV system. The TV system changes as follows: ⢠AUTO î NTSC ⢠NTSC î PAL ⢠PAL î AUTO The playerâÂÂs display shows â Welcome Pioneer âÂÂ, then indicates the new setting. ⢠You have to switch the player into standby (press î STANDBY/ON ) before each change. Watching NTSC on a PAL TV (MOD. PAL) Most models of the newly developed count- down 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 color. 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 verti- cally, leaving black bands at the top and bottom of the screen. This is not a malfunc- tion; it is caused by the NTSC to PAL conver- sion.

Connecting up 02 15 En Connecting to an AV receiver To enjoy multichannel surround sound you need to connect this player to an AV receiver using a digital output. This player has both coaxial and optical digital jacks; use which- ever is convenient. In addition to a digital connection, we recom- mend also connecting using the stereo analog connection. YouâÂÂll 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 one of DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jacks on this player to a digital input on your AV receiver. This enables you to listen to multichannel surround sound. For an optical connection, use an optical cable (not supplied) to connect the OPTICAL DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack to an optical input on your AV receiver. For a coaxial connection, use a coaxial cable (similar to the supplied video cable) to connect the COAXIAL DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack to a coaxial input on your AV receiver. 2 Connect the analog AUDIO OUT L/R and VIDEO OUT jacks on this player to a set of analog audio and video inputs on your AV receiver. The diagram shows standard video connec- tions, but you can alternatively use the S-video or component video connections if theyâÂÂre available. 3 Connect the AV receiverâÂÂs video output to a video input on your TV. ⢠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. ⢠My TV doesnâÂÂt have any inputs to connect the DVD player. How can I watch DVDs? If your TV has no inputs you canâÂÂt use this player with it.

Connecting up 02 16 En ⢠My VCR is already connected to my TV, so there arenâÂÂt any spare inputs. What should I do? If all your TVâÂÂs inputs are already in use, you can buy a video input selector from an electronics store, which effectively gives you more inputs. ⢠My TV only has one input for the sound. What should I plug it into? If you donâÂÂt mind mono sound, you can buy a stereo RCA-to-mono RCA cable from an electronics store. Connect the stereo end to this player and the mono end to your TV. If you want stereo sound, connect this player to your amplifier or stereo system using a stereo audio cable. â¢I connected the DVD player to my AV receiver, and although the sound is fine, thereâÂÂs no picture. What did I do wrong? Make sure that the correct video input is selected on your TV. Also make sure that the type of video connection from the DVD player to your AV receiver is the same as that from the receiver to your TV. Most AV receivers wonâÂÂt convert from one kind of connection to another. DV260.book 16 ãÂÂã¼ã¸ ï¼Âï¼Âï¼Âï¼Âå¹´ï¼ÂæÂÂï¼Âï¼ÂæÂ¥ãÂÂç«æÂÂæÂ¥ãÂÂÃ¥ÂÂå¾Âï¼ÂæÂÂï¼Âï¼ÂÃ¥ÂÂ

Getting started 04 27 En Playing discs The basic playback controls for playing DVD, CD, Video CD/Super VCD and WMA/MP3 discs are covered here. Further functions are detailed in the next chapter. 1 If the player isnâÂÂt already on, press î STANDBY/ON to switch it on. If youâÂÂre playing a DVD or Video CD/Super VCD, also turn on your TV and make sure that it is set to the correct video input. 2 Press î OPEN/CLOSE to open the disc tray. 3 Load a disc. Load a disc with the label side facing up, using the disc tray guide to align the disc (if youâÂÂre loading a double-sided DVD disc, load it with the side you want to play face down). 4 Press î (play) to start playback. If youâÂÂre playing a DVD or Video CD/Super VCD, a menu may appear. See DVD-Video disc menus on page 30 and Video CD/Super VCD PBC menus on page 31 for more on how to navigate these. If youâÂÂre playing an WMA/MP3 disc, it may take a few seconds before playback starts, depending on the complexity of the file struc- ture on the disc. If you loaded a CD/CD-R/RW containing JPEGs, a slideshow will start. See Viewing JPEG discs on page 44 for more on playing these discs. ⢠See also PhotoViewer on page 59 if the disc contains both WMA/MP3 audio files and JPEG picture files (by default, you will not be able to play the WMA/MP3 files). 0 1 23 4 56 789 STANDBY/ON OPEN/CLOSE ENTER ENTER î î î îÂÂ/î îÂÂ/î î î î î î î DV260.book 27 ãÂÂã¼ã¸ ï¼Âï¼Âï¼Âï¼Âå¹´ï¼ÂæÂÂï¼Âï¼ÂæÂ¥ãÂÂç«æÂÂæÂ¥ãÂÂÃ¥ÂÂå¾Âï¼ÂæÂÂï¼Âï¼ÂÃ¥ÂÂ
Getting started 04 28 En ⢠After I load a DVD disc, it ejects automati- cally 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 64. 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 on page 60. ⢠Why wonâÂÂt the disc I loaded play? First check that you loaded the disc the right way up (label side up), and that itâÂÂs clean and not damaged. See Taking care of your player and discs on page 60 for information on cleaning discs. If a disc loaded correctly wonâÂÂt play, itâÂÂs probably an incompatible format or disc type, such as DVD-Audio or DVD-ROM. See Disc / content format playback compatibility on page 8 for more on disc compatibility. â¢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 are necessary at the top and bottom of the screen. This is not a malfunction. â¢I have 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 prefer- ences 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. ⢠My AV receiver is definitely compatible with 96kHz Linear PCM audio, but it doesnâÂÂt seem to work with this player. WhatâÂÂs wrong? For digital copy-protection purposes, some 96kHz DVD discs are automatically downsampled to 48kHz. This is not a malfunction. With these kinds of discs, if you want to enjoy high-quality analog audio, set Digital Out to Off (see Digital Out on page 50), and 96kHz PCM Out to 96kHz (see 96kHz PCM Out on page 51).

Playing discs 05 32 En Chapter 5 Playing discs Introduction Most of the features described in this chapter make use of on-screen displays. For an expla- nation of how to navigate these, see Using the on-screen displays on page 24. Many of the functions covered in this chapter apply to DVD discs, Video CD/Super VCDs, CDs and WMA/MP3/JPEG discs, although the exact operation of some varies slightly with the kind of disc loaded. Some DVD discs restrict the use of some functions (random or repeat, for example). This is not a malfunction. When playing Video CD/Super VCDs, some of the functions are not available during PBC playback. If you want to use them, start the disc playing using a number button to select a track. Using the Disc Navigator to browse the contents of a disc Use the Disc Navigator to browse through the contents of a disc to find the part you want to play. You can use the Disc Navigator when a disc is playing or stopped. 1 Press HOME MENU and select âÂÂDisc Navigatorâ from the on-screen display. Alternatively, if a VR format DVD-RW, CD, Video CD/Super VCD or WMA/MP3/JPEG disc is loaded, you can press MENU , which takes you straight to the Disc Navigator screen. 2 Select what you want to play. Depending on the type of disc you have loaded, the Disc Navigator looks slightly different. The screen for DVD discs shows the titles on the left and the chapters on the right. Select a title, or a chapter within a title. For a VR (Video Recording) mode DVD-RW disc select beween the Playlist and Original areas of the disc, or a title. Press î (cursor right) to preview the title. ⢠ItâÂÂs not possible to switch between Orig- inal and Playlist during playback.

Additional information 10 60 En Chapter 10 Additional information 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 finger- prints, 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. DonâÂÂt wipe the disc surface using circular strokes. 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. Storing discs Although CDs 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.

Additional information 10 61 En Discs to avoid 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 playerâÂÂyou could end up damaging it. This player is designed for use with conven- tional, 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. Cleaning the unitâÂÂs exterior ⢠Use a polishing cloth or 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 since they will corrode the surfaces. ⢠If you use a chemical-impregnated cleaning cloth, read the instructions care- fully before use. These cloths may leave smear marks on half-mirror finish surfaces; if this happens, finish with a dry cloth. ⢠Unplug the unit when cleaning. Cleaning the pickup lens The DVD playerâÂÂs 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 CD players are commercially available, we do not recommend using them since some may damage the lens. 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 wonâÂÂt damage the player, it may temporarily impair its perfor- mance. For this reason you should leave it to adjust to the warmer temperature for about an hour before switching on and using. Hints on installation We want you to enjoy using this product for years to come, so please bear in mind the following points when choosing a suitable location for it: Do... ⢠Use in a well-ventilated room. ⢠Place on a solid, flat, level surface, such as a table, shelf or stereo rack. DonâÂÂt... ⢠Use in a place exposed to high tempera- tures or humidity, including near radia- tors and other heat-generating appliances. ⢠Place on a window sill or other place where the player will be exposed to direct sunlight. ⢠Use in an excessively dusty or damp envi- ronment.

Additional information 10 62 En ⢠Place directly on top of an amplifier, or other component in your stereo system that becomes hot in use. ⢠Use near a television or monitor as you may experience interferenceâÂÂespecially if the television uses an indoor antenna. ⢠Use in a kitchen or other room where the player may be exposed to smoke or steam. ⢠Use on a thick rug or carpet, or cover with clothâÂÂthis may prevent proper cooling of the unit. ⢠Place on an unstable surface, or one that is not large enough to support all four of the unitâÂÂs feet. Moving the player If you need to move the player, first press î 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 play- backâÂÂdiscs rotate at a high speed and may be damaged. Power cable caution Handle the power cable by the plug part. Do not pull out the plug by tugging the cable, and never touch the power cable when your hands are wet, as this could cause a short circuit or electric shock. Do not place the unit, a piece of furniture, or other object on the power cable or pinch the cable in any other way. Never make a knot in the cable or tie it with other cables. The power cables should be routed so that they are not likely to be stepped on. A damaged power cable can cause a fire or give you an electric shock. Check the power cable once in a while. If you find it damaged, ask your nearest Pioneer authorized service center or your dealer for a replacement. 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 Cinema- Scope widescreen movies, with an aspect ratio of up to about 7:3. Televisions, too, come in different aspect ratios; âÂÂstandardâ 4:3 and widescreen 16:9. Widescreen TV users If you have a widescreen TV, the TV Screen setting (page 52) 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 âÂÂletter boxâ 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 52) 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. DV260.book 62 ãÂÂã¼ã¸ ï¼Âï¼Âï¼Âï¼Âå¹´ï¼ÂæÂÂï¼Âï¼ÂæÂ¥ãÂÂç«æÂÂæÂ¥ãÂÂÃ¥ÂÂå¾Âï¼ÂæÂÂï¼Âï¼ÂÃ¥ÂÂ
Additional information 10 63 En Set to 4:3 (Pan&Scan) , widescreen discs are shown with the left and right sides cropped. Although the picture looks larger, you donâÂÂt actually see the whole picture. Please note that many widescreen discs over- ride the playerâÂÂs settings so that the disc is shown in letter box format regardless of the setting. ⢠Using the 16:9 (Wide) setting with a stan- dard 4:3 TV, or either of the 4:3 settings with a widescreen TV, will result in a distorted picture. Resetting the player Use this procedure to reset all the playerâÂÂs settings to the factory default. 1 Switch the player into standby. 2 Using the front panel buttons, hold down the î (stop) button and press î STANDBY/ON to switch the player back on.

Additional information 10 66 En Glossary Analog audio An electrical signal that directly represents sound. Compare this to digital audio which can 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). Digital audio An indirect representation of sound by numbers. During recording, the sound is measured at discrete intervals (44,100 times a second for CD audio) 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 . Dolby Digital 1 Using a maximum of 5.1 channels of audio, this high quality surround system is used in many of the finer movie theaters around the world. The on-screen display shows which channels are active, for example showing 3/2.1. The 3 being the two front channels and the center channel; the 2 being the surround channels, and the .1 being the LFE channel. DRM DRM (digital rights management) is a type of server software developed to enable secure distribution of paid content over the web, recently incorporated by WMA (Windows Media Audio ). DTS DTS stands for Digital Theater Systems. DTS is a surround system different from Dolby Digital that has become a popular surround sound format for movies. 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, deliv- ering dramatic cinema-like effects. EXIF (Exchangeable Image File) A file format developed by Fuji Photo Film for digital still cameras. Digital cameras from various manuafcturers use this compressed file format which carries date, time and thumbnail information, as well as the picture data. File extension A tag added to the end of a filename to indi- cate the type of file. For example, âÂÂ.mp3â indi- cates an MP3 file. ISO 9660 format International standard for the volume and file structure of CD-ROM discs. DV260.book 66 ãÂÂã¼ã¸ ï¼Âï¼Âï¼Âï¼Âå¹´ï¼ÂæÂÂï¼Âï¼ÂæÂ¥ãÂÂç«æÂÂæÂ¥ãÂÂÃ¥ÂÂå¾Âï¼ÂæÂÂï¼Âï¼ÂÃ¥ÂÂ
Additional information 10 67 En JPEG A file format used for still images, such as photographs and illustrations. JPEG files are identified by the file extension âÂÂ.jpgâ or âÂÂ.JPGâÂÂ. Most digital cameras use this format. MP3 MP3 (MPEG1 audio layer 3) is a compressed audio file format. Files are recognized by their file extension âÂÂ.mp3â or âÂÂ.MP3âÂÂ. MPEG audio An audio format used on Video CD/Super VCDs and some DVD discs. This unit can convert MPEG audio to PCM format for wider compatibility with digital recorders and AV amplifiers. See also PCM (Pulse Code Modula- tion) . MPEG video The video format used for Video CD/Super VCDs and DVDs. Video CD/Super VCD uses the older MPEG-1 standard, while DVD uses the newer and much better quality MPEG-2 standard. PBC (PlayBack Control) (Video CD/Super VCD only) A system of navigating a Video CD/Super VCD through on-screen menus recorded onto the disc. Especially good for discs that you would normally not watch from beginning to end all at onceâÂÂkaraoke discs, for example. PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) The most common system of encoding digital audio, found on CDs and DAT. Excellent quality, but requires a lot of data compared to formats such as Dolby Digital and MPEG audio. For compatibility with digital audio recorders (CD, MD and DAT) and AV ampli- fiers with digital inputs, this unit can convert Dolby Digital, DTS and MPEG audio to PCM. See also Digital audio . Regions (DVD-Video only) These associate discs and players with partic- ular areas of the world. This unit will only play discs that have compatible region codes. 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). 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. Stan- dard CD audio has a sampling frequency of 44.1kHz, which means 44,100 samples (measurements) per second. See also Digital audio . WMA WMA is short for Windows Media Audio and refers to an audio compression technology developed by Microsoft Corporation. WMA data can be encoded by using Windows Media Player version 8 or Windows Media Player for Windows XP. Files are recognized by their file extension âÂÂ.wmaâ or âÂÂ.WMAâÂÂ. Microsoft, Windows Media, and the Windows logo are trademarks, or registered trade- marks of Microsoft Corporation in the United States and/or other countries.

Additional information 10 68 En Setting the TV system (Except Taiwanese model) The default setting of this player is AUTO , and unless you notice that the picture is distorted when playing some discs, you should leave it set to AUTO . If you experience picture distor- tion with some discs, set the TV system to match your country or regionâÂÂs system. Doing this, however, may restrict the kinds of disc you can watch. The table below shows what kinds of disc are compatible with each setting ( AUTO , PAL and NTSC ). 1 If the player is on, press î STANDBY/ ON to switch it to standby. 2 Using the front panel controls, hold down îÂÂî then press î STANDBY/ON to switch the TV system. The TV system changes as follows: ⢠AUTO î NTSC ⢠NTSC î PAL ⢠PAL î AUTO The playerâÂÂs display shows â Welcome Pioneer âÂÂ, then indicates the new setting. ⢠You have to switch the player into standby (press î STANDBY/ON ) before each change. Watching NTSC on a PAL TV (MOD. PAL) Most models of the newly developed count- down 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 color. 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 verti- cally, leaving black bands at the top and bottom of the screen. This is not a malfunc- tion; it is caused by the NTSC to PAL conver- sion.
