NOTE

After replacing or changing a fuse, the fuse cover in

the plug must be replaced with a fuse cover which

corresponds to the colour of the insert in the base

of the plug or the word that is embossed on the

base of the plug, and the appliance must not be

used without a fuse cover. If lost replacement fuse

covers can be obtained from your dealer.

outlets, the plug must be cut off and a suitable plug

fitted.

IMPORTANT

FOR USE IN THE UNITED

KINGDOM

The cut-off plug should be disposed of and must

not be inserted into any 13 amp socket as this can

result in electric shock. The plug or adaptor or the

distribution panel should be provided with 5 A fuse.

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this

appliance may not correspond with coloured

markings identifying the terminals in your plug,

proceed as follows ;

The wire which is coloured blue must be connected

to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or

coloured black.

The wire which is coloured brown must be

connected to the terminal which is marked with the

letter L or coloured red.

Replacement and mounting of an AC plug on the power supply cord of this unit should be performed only by qualified

service personnel.

WARNING

The voltage of the available power supply differs

according to country or region. Be sure that the

power supply voltage of the area where this unit

will be used meets the required voltage (e.g., 230V

or 120V) written on the rear panel. D3-4-2-1-4_A_En

Before plugging in for the first time, read the following

section carefully.

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.

S002_En

CAUTION

The POWER 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).

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.

The equipment should be disconnected by removing

the mains plug from the wall socket when left

unused for a long period of time (for example, when

on vacation).

Connecting up

Easy connections

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.

Important

•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.)

Connecting up 02

1 Connect the VIDEO OUT and AUDIO

OUT (2ch) 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.

2Connect the supplied AC power cable to

the AC IN inlet, then 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.

Connecting using a SCART AV

cable

A SCART-type AV connector is provided for

connection to a TV or AV receiver. The video

output is switchable between ordinary

composite, S-video and RGB. See

AV Connector

Out

on page 35 for how to set it.

The SCART AV connector also outputs analog

audio, so there is no need to also connect the

AUDIO OUT L/R

jacks.

1 Use a SCART cable (not supplied) to

connect the AV CONNECTOR (RGB) output

to a SCART AV input on your TV (or AV

receiver).

Connecting using the S-video

output

If your TV (or other equipment) has an S-video

(S1) input, you can use the S-video output on

this player instead of the standard (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 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). 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.

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

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 2ch

and VIDEO OUTPUT jacks on this player to

a set of analog audio and video inputs on

your AV receiver.

2Connect the AV receiver’s video output

to a video input on your TV.

The diagram shows standard video connec-

tions, but you can alternatively use the S-Video

or component video connections if they’re avail-

able.

You can use the SCART AV connector, or 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.

Connecting up02

Connecting the multichannel analog

outputs

If your AV receiver has 5.1 channel analog

inputs, we recommend connecting this player

to it using the multichannel analog outputs.

Doing this will ensure that you can enjoy all

kinds of disc, including Dolby Digital and DTS

DVD-Video discs, as well as high sampling rate

and multichannel DVD-Audio and SACD discs.

• Connect the MULTICHANNEL AUDIO

outputs on this player to the multi-channel

audio inputs on your AV receiver.

It’s convenient to use three stereo audio

cables; one for the

FRONT

, one for the

SURROUND

and one for the

CENTER

and

SUBWOOFER

channels.

You can use the SCART AV connector, or the S-

video or component video jacks to connect to

the AV receiver if you prefer.

Tip

•After connecting up and switching on, you

should change the

Audio Output Mode

setting in the Initial Setup menu from the

default

2 Channel

5.1 Channel

. See

also

Audio Output Mode

on page 40.

Connecting the digital output

This player has both optical and coaxial-type

digital audio outputs for connection to an AV

receiver. Connect whichever is convenient.

Depending on the capabilities of your AV

receiver, you might have to set up this player to

output only digital audio in a compatible

format. See

Digital Audio Out settings

page 34 and refer to the operating instructions

that came with your AV receiver.

Note that SACD audio is not output through

these jacks, so this connection should be in

addition to, rather than instead of, a 5.1

channel analog connection.

•Connect one of the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT

jacks on this player to a digital input on

your AV receiver.

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.

functions are detailed in the next chapter.

For details on playing JPEG picture discs, see

Viewing a JPEG slideshow

Important

• Throughout this manual, the term ‘DVD’

means DVD-Video, DVD-Audio and DVD-R/

RW. If a function is specific to a particular

kind of DVD disc, it is specified.

1 If the player isn’t already on, press



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,

Video CD/Super VCD or DivX video 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 CD/Super VCDs, 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-RW, DVD-Audio or

SACD discs.

more on disc compatibility.

•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.

•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

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.

• My AV receiver is definitely compatible with

96/88.2kHz Linear PCM audio, but it doesn’t

seem to work with this player. What’s

wrong?

For digital copy-protection purposes, some

96/88.2kHz DVD discs only output digital

audio downsampled to 48/44.1kHz. This is

not a malfunction.

To fully take advantage of the high

sampling rate audio, connect the analog

audio outputs to your amplifier/receiver.

• Why can’t I hear SACD audio through the

digital outputs?

SACD audio is only available through the

analog outputs. This is not a malfunction.

Some DVD-Audio discs too only output

audio through the analog outputs.

• Is it better to listen to DVD-Audio discs

through the analog outputs?

Some DVD-Audio discs do not output

anything through the digital outputs, and

multichannel discs are downmixed to

stereo for the digital output. In addition,

high sampling rate DVD-Audio discs

(higher than 96kHz) automatically

downsample audio output from the digital

outputs.

Using the multichannel analog audio

outputs for DVD-Audio have none of these

limitations.

•My DVD-Audio disc starts playing, but then

suddenly stops!

The disc may have been illegally copied.

About DivX

VOD content

In order to play DivX VOD (video on demand)

content on this player, you first need to register

the player with your DivX VOD content

provider. You do this by generating a DivX VOD

registration code, which you submit to your

provider.

Important

• DivX VOD content is protected by a DRM

(Digital Rights Management) system. This

restricts playback of content to specific,

registered devices.

• If you load a disc that contains DivX VOD

content not authorized for your player, the

message

Authorization Error

is displayed

and the content will not play.

• Resetting the player (as described in

Resetting the player

in the main Operating

Instructions) will not cause you to lose your

registration code.

Displaying your DivX VOD

registration code

1 Press HOME MENU and select ‘Initial

Settings’.

2 Select ‘Options’, then ‘DivX VOD’.

3 Select ‘Display’.

Your 8-digit registration code is displayed.

Make a note of the code as you will need it

when you register with a DivX VOD provider.

Playing DivX

VOD content

Some DivX VOD content may only be playable

a fixed number of times. When you load a disc

containing this type of DivX VOD content, the

remaining number of plays is shown on-screen

and you then have the option of playing the

disc (thereby using up one of the remaining

plays), or stopping. If you load a disc that

contains expired DivX VOD content (for

example, content that has zero remaining

plays), the message

Rental Expired

displayed.

If your DivX VOD content allows an unlimited

number of plays, then you may load the disc

into your player and play the content as often

as you like, and no message will be displayed.

Chapter 8

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.

DV585A WY_Mid.book Page 44 Tuesday, April 5, 2005 6:35 PM

Additional information 08

If you use a chemical-impregnated cleaning

cloth, read the instructions carefully before

use. These cloths may leave smear marks on

half-mirror finish surfaces; if this happens,

finish with a dry cloth.

Cleaning the pickup lens

The DVD player’s lens should not become dirty

in normal use, but if for some reason it should

malfunction due to dust or dirt, consult your

nearest Pioneer-authorized service center. We

do not recommend using commercially

available lens cleaners for CD players.

Condensation

Condensation may form inside the player if it is

brought into a warm room from outside, or if

the temperature of the room rises quickly.

Although the condensation won’t damage the

player, it may temporarily impair its

performance. Leave it to adjust to the warmer

temperature for about an hour before

switching on.

Moving the player

If you need to move the player, first press



STANDBY/ON

on the front panel to turn the

player off. Wait for

-OFF-

to disappear from the

display, then unplug the power cable. Never lift

or move the unit during playback—discs rotate

at a high speed and may be damaged.

Screen sizes and disc formats

DVD-Video discs come in several different

screen aspect ratios, ranging from TV

programs, which are generally 4:3, to

CinemaScope widescreen movies, with an

aspect ratio of up to about 7:3.

Televisions, too, come in different aspect

ratios; ‘standard’ 4:3 and widescreen 16:9.

Widescreen TV users

If you have a widescreen TV, the

TV Screen

setting (page 35) of this player should be set to

16:9 (Wide)

When you watch discs recorded in 4:3 format,

you can use the TV controls to select how the

picture is presented. Your TV may offer various

zoom and stretch options; see the instructions

that came with your TV for details.

Please note that some movie aspect ratios are

wider than 16:9, so even though you have a

widescreen TV, these discs will still play in a

‘letter box’ style with black bars at the top and

bottom of the screen.

Standard TV users

If you have a standard TV, the

TV Screen

setting (page 35) of this player should be set to

4:3 (Letter Box)

4:3 (Pan&Scan)

depending on which you prefer.

Set to

4:3 (Letter Box)

, widescreen discs are

shown with black bars top and bottom.

Set to

4:3 (Pan&Scan)

, widescreen discs are

shown with the left and right sides cropped.

Although the picture looks larger, you don’t

actually see the whole picture.

Please note that many widescreen discs

override the player’s settings so that the disc is

shown in letter box format regardless of the

setting.

DV585A WY_Mid.book Page 45 Tuesday, April 5, 2005 6:35 PM

Additional information08

Note

• Using the

16:9 (Wide)

setting with a

standard 4:3 TV, or either of the 4:3 settings

with a widescreen TV, will result in a

distorted picture.

Setting the TV system

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 region’s 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
