• When Component Out (page 35) is set to  
Progressive, there is no video output from  
the VIDEO OUT (composite) jack.  
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.  
• If you want to display video on more than  
one monitor simultaneously, make sure  
the player is set to Interlace.  
• If you connect a TV that is not compatible  
with a progressive scan signal and switch  
the player to progressive, you will not be  
able to see any picture at all. In this case,

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.  
Note  
HDMI has the capability to support standard,  
enhanced, or high-definition video plus  
standard to multi-channel 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.  
• 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.  
• When you change the component  
connected to the HDMI output, you will  
also need to change the HDMI settings to  
match the new component (see HDMI Out  
on page 35, HDMI Resolution on page 36  
and HDMI Color on page 36 to do this).  
However, the settings for each component  
are then stored in memory (for up to 2  
components).  
HDMI, the HDMI logo and High-Definition  
Multimedia Interface are trademarks or  
registered trademarks of HDMI licensing LLC.  
Resetting the output resolution to the  
default setting with HDMI connection  
Switch the player to standby then, using the  
front panel controls, press STANDBY/ON  
while pressing to switch the player back to  
576P/480P.  
• The HDMI connection is compatible with  
44.1 kHz/48 kHz, 16 bit/20 bit/24 bit 2  
channel linear PCM signals, as well as  
Doldy Digital, DTS and MPEG audio  
bitstream.

• I’ve connected to a HDMI compatible  
component but I can’t get any signal and  
the front panel HDMI indicator won’t light!  
FAQ  
• After I load a DVD disc, it ejects  
automatically after a few seconds!  
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. See Connecting  
using HDMI (DV-490V only) on page 14 for  
more on HDMI compatibility.  
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 42.  
• There’s no picture from the HDMI output!  
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 40.  
This player cannot display pictures from  
DVI compatible sources. See Connecting  
using HDMI (DV-490V only) on page 14 for  
more on HDMI compatibility.  
• Why won’t the disc I loaded play?  
Make sure the resolution on this player  
matches that of the component you have  
connected using HDMI. See HDMI  
Resolution on page 36 to change the HDMI  
resolution.  
First check that you loaded the disc the  
right way up (label side up), and that it’s  
clean and undamaged. See Taking care of  
your player and discs on page 40 for  
information on cleaning discs.  
If a disc loaded correctly won’t play, it’s  
probably an incompatible format or disc  
type, such as DVD-Audio or DVD-ROM. See  
Disc / content format playback compatibility  
on page 8 for 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.

Playing DivX VOD content  
Important  
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 is  
displayed.  
• 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 on page 42) will not  
cause you to lose your registration code.  
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.

Additional information  
This player is designed to be used only with  
Taking care of your player and  
discs  
conventional, fully circular discs. Do not use  
shaped discs. Pioneer disclaims all liability  
arising in connection with the use of shaped  
discs.  
General  
Hold discs by the edge or by the center hole  
and edge.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.

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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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) 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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
Televisions, too, come in different aspect  
ratios; ‘standard’ 4:3 and widescreen 16:9.
