VENTILATION CAUTION

When installing this unit, make sure to leave space around the unit for ventilation to improve heat radiation (at least 10cm at top, 10cm at rear, and 10cm at each side).

WARNING

Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation to ensure reliable operation of the product, and to protect it from overheating.

D3-4-2-1-7b_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). D3-4-2-2-1a_A_En

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 STANDBY/ON switch on this unit will not completely shut off all power from the AC outlet. Since the power cord serves as the main disconnect device for the unit, you will need to unplug it from the AC outlet to shut down all power. Therefore, make sure the unit has been installed so that the power cord can be easily unplugged from the AC outlet in case of an accident. To avoid fire hazard, the power cord should also be unplugged from the AC outlet when left unused for a long period of time (for example, when on vacation). D3-4-2-2a_A_En

Connections

Easy connections

PIONEER DV-600 AV - Easy connections - 1

Important

  • Before making or changing any connections, switch off the power and disconnect the power cable from the AC outlet.
  • 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.
  • 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.)

PIONEER DV-600 AV - Important - 1

1 Connect the VIDEO OUT and AUDIO OUT (5.1ch)/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 (DV-600AV only) or SCART cable for the video connection.

2 Connect the supplied AC power cable to the AC IN inlet, then plug into a power outlet.

PIONEER DV-600 AV - Connect the supplied AC power cable to the AC IN inlet, then plug into a power outlet. - 1

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 (DV-600AV only) and RGB. See AV Connector Out on page 40 for how to set it.

The SCART AV connector also outputs analog audio, so there is no need to also connect the AUDIO OUT (5.1ch)/AUDIO OUT L/R jacks.

PIONEER DV-600 AV - Connecting using a SCART AV cable - 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

(DV-600AV only)

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.

PIONEER DV-600 AV - - 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). - 1

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.

PIONEER DV-600 AV - Connecting using the component video output - 1

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 Video Output settings on page 40. When the player is set to output progressive scan video, the PRGSVE indicator lights in the front panel display.

PIONEER DV-600 AV - Watching progressive scan video from the component video outputs - 1

Important

  • 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, switch everything off and reconnect using the supplied video cable (see Easy connections on page 11), then switch back to Interlace (see below).

Switching the video output to interlace using the front panel controls

Switch the player to standby then, using the front panel controls, press STANDBY/ON while pressing to switch the player back to Interlace.

  • If the player is connected using HDMI, disconnect the HDMI cable before resetting the player to interlace output. (If left connected, the HDMI output resolution will be reset to its default—see Resetting the output resolution to the default setting with HDMI connection on page 16.)

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 (5.1ch)/AUDIO OUT L/R and VIDEO OUT jacks on this player to a set of analog audio and video inputs on your AV receiver.

PIONEER DV-600 AV - Connect the analog AUDIO OUT (5.1ch)/AUDIO OUT L/R and VIDEO OUT jacks on this player to a set of analog audio and video inputs on your AV receiver. - 1

2 Connect the AV receiver's video output to a video input on your TV.

You can also use the SCART AV connector, the S-video (DV-600AV only) or component video jacks to connect to the AV receiver if you prefer.

PIONEER DV-600 AV - Connect the AV receiver's video output to a video input on your TV. - 1

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 the multichannel analog outputs

(DV-600AV only)

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 multi-channel 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.

PIONEER DV-600 AV - - Connect the multi-channel audio outputs on this player to the multi-channel audio inputs on your AV receiver. - 1

You can also use the SCART AV connector, the S-video (DV-600AV only) or component video jacks to connect to the AV receiver if you prefer.

PIONEER DV-600 AV - - Connect the multi-channel audio outputs on this player to the multi-channel audio inputs on your AV receiver. - 2

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 to 5.1 Channel. See also Audio Output Mode on page 45.

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 on page 39 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.

PIONEER DV-600 AV - Connecting the digital output - 1

DV-600AV only: 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.

Connecting using HDMI

If you have a HDMI 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 almost every kind of digital audio that the player is compatible with, including DVD-Video, DVD-Audio (see below for limitations), SACD, Video CD/Super VCD, CD, WMA, MP3, MPEG-4, AAC, Divx video and WMV.

  • Use an HDMI cable to connect the HDMI OUT interconnect on this player to an HDMI interconnect on a HDMI-compatible monitor.

  • 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 39, HDMI Resolution on page 40 and HDMI Color on page 40 to do this). However, the settings for each component are then stored in memory (for up to 2 components).
  • DV-600AV: The HDMI connection is compatible with 2 channel linear PCM signals (44.1 kHz to 192 kHz, 16 bit/20 bit/24 bit), and Dolby Digital, DTS, MPEG audio bitstream, multi channel DSD, and multi channel linear PCM signals, (5.1 channel signals up to 96 kHz, 16 bit/20 bit/24 bit).
  • DV-400V: 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.

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.

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 five 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.

FAQ

After I load a DVD disc, it ejects automatically 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 53.

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 51.

  • 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 undamaged. See Taking care of your player and discs on page 51 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 (for DV-400V) or DVD-ROM. See Disc/content format playback compatibility on page 7 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.

  • I've connected to a HDMI 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. See Connecting using HDMI on page 15 for more on HDMI compatibility.
  • There's no picture from the HDMI output! This player cannot display pictures from DVI compatible sources. See Connecting using HDMI on page 15 for more on HDMI compatibility.
    Make sure the resolution on this player matches that of the component you have connected using HDMI. See HDMI Resolution on page 40 to change the HDMI resolution.
  • My AV receiver is definitely compatible with 96 kHz/88.2 kHz Linear PCM audio, but it doesn't seem to work with this player. What's wrong? (DV-600AV only) For digital copy-protection purposes, some 96 kHz/88.2 kHz DVD discs only output digital audio downsampled to 48 kHz/ 44.1 kHz. 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? (DV-600AV only) SACD digital audio is only available through the HDMI outputs when connected to an HDMI-compatible amp that can handle protected audio contents. 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? (DV-600AV only) 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! (DV-600AV only) The disc may have been illegally copied.

If you connected this player to your amplifier using the 5.1 channel analog outputs (front, surround, center and subwoofer outs), set this to 5.1 Channel; if you connected only the stereo outs, set to 2 Channel.

PIONEER DV-600 AV - Audio Output Mode - 2

Note

  • Even if you set Audio Output Mode to 5.1 Channel, you'll only get sound from all speakers when playing a 5.1 channel multi-channel disc.
  • When set to 5.1 Channel, only the front left/right channels are output from the AUDIO OUT (2ch) jacks. Change to 2 Channel if you want to listen to downmixed stereo audio (for example, because you are listening through the TV's built-in speakers).
  • When set to 5.1 Channel there is no digital output when playing DVD-Audio.

  • If you set to 2 Channel, Dolby Digital, DTS and MPEG audio is mixed down to two channels so you still hear all the audio recorded on the disc. With DTS encoded audio, you can choose how the signal is downmixed to PCM audio. See DTS Downmix on page 43 to change the downmix setting.

  • Some DVD-Audio discs don't allow downmixing of audio. These discs always output multi-channel audio regardless of the setting made here.

  • This unit checks the specification of the connected component (such sample rate/multichannel limitations and compatibility with protected audio contents) and outputs the signal accordingly. Note that 'DVD-Audio compatible' indicates compatibility with protected audio contents. 'SACD compatible' indicates compatibility with DSD signals.
    *2 If HDMI Out setting (page 39) is set to LPCM (2CH), DVD-Audio multichannel sources will be downmixed to stereo. (In cases where the source is downmix-prohibited, only the front left/right channels are output.) For SACD sources, the 2 channel (stereo) SACD audio area is selected.

If the video output resolution is 480i, 576i, 480p or 576p, audio output may be limited to 2 channel (depending to the connected component).

3 In cases where the source is downmix-prohibited, only the front left/right channels are output.
4 If CPPM shows in the front panel display, it means it is not possible to output CPPM copy-controlled DVD-Audio sources from the HDMI connection. Discs with no CPPM protection are limited to 2 channel output.

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.

PIONEER DV-600 AV - General - 1

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.

PIONEER DV-600 AV - Damaged and shaped discs - 1

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.

PIONEER DV-600 AV - Cleaning discs - 1

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.

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 widenscreen movies, with an aspect ratio of up to about 7:3.

Televisions, too, come in different aspect ratios; 'standard' 4:3 and widenscreen 16:9.

Widescreen TV users

If you have a widescreen TV, the TV Screen setting (page 40) of this player should be set to 16:9 (Wide) or 16:9 (Compressed).

When you watch discs recorded in 4:3 format with the 16:9 (Wide) setting, 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 40) 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), widenscreen discs are shown with black bars top and bottom.

PIONEER DV-600 AV - Standard TV users - 1

Set to 4:3 (Pan&Scan), widenscreen discs are shown with the left and right sides cropped. Although the picture looks larger, you don't actually see the whole picture.

PIONEER DV-600 AV - Standard TV users - 2

Please note that many widenscreen discs override the player's settings so that the disc is shown in letter box format regardless of the setting.

PIONEER DV-600 AV - Standard TV users - 3

Note

  • Using the 16:9 (Wide) or 16:9 (Compressed) 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 distortion 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 (AUTO, PAL and NTSC).

1 If the player is on, press STANDBY/ON to switch it to standby.
2 Using the front panel controls, hold down then press STANDBY/ON to switch the TV system.

The TV system changes as follows:

  • AUTO NTSC
  • NTSC PAL
  • PAL AUTO

2 Using the front panel buttons, hold down the (stop) button and press STANDBY/ON to switch the player back on.

All the player's settings are now reset.

DVD-Video regions

All DVD-Video discs carry a region mark on the case somewhere that indicates which region(s) of the world the disc is compatible with. Your DVD player also has a region mark, which you can find on the rear panel. Discs from incompatible regions will not play in this player. In this case the attention sentence Incompatible disc region number Can't play disc is displayed on screen. Discs marked ALL will play in any player. The diagram below shows the various DVD regions of the world.
