Features

1. High durability and reliability

The durability and longevity of this player have been enhanced by sealing the drive components, thus protecting optical parts from dust. Reliability has been enhanced by the adoption of a brushless spindle motor for the disc drive, and a stepping motor for the optical drive.

2. Designed for high image quality

High-quality image playback is assured through the use of 12 bit / 216 MHz video DAC, digital filters, and digital noise-reduction technology.

In addition to support for conventional analog video input/output, DVI-D digital video connectors (compliant with HDCP Ver. 1.0) are provided to allow the output of high-definition digital images.

3. Frame search function

The player is equipped with a frame search function to allow the user to cue playback points in more precise units than allowed for by chapter and time searches.

The use of frame-segment playback allows the user to define playback between two specific points, followed by automatic stop.

- Frame search cannot be used with multi-PGC discs (discs that do not provide for OSD of time data), or Video CDs.

4. Weekly Timer / Power On Start functions

The timer function allows the user to set the player for POWER ON and STANDBY/OFF and disc playback at designated times or on designated days of the week. Programmed playback is also supported by using this function in conjunction with the command stack.

The WEEKLY TIMER function can be set for up to 24 POWER ON/OFF times on any single day (pages 57, 60).

5. Command Stack

By presetting segment commands to control playback, automatic switching can be performed between images as desired, providing a convenient tool for demonstrations and display presentations (page 64).

6. External interface

[RS-232C]

The player is equipped with two RS-232C connectors (15-pin (*1) and 9-pin). RS-232C commands can be used to control playback of DVD video, Video CD, and audio CD. The protocol for these commands adopts the same format as used for LaserDiscs, and migrating commands from LaserDisc is simple (page 84).

[Extend Terminal]

Terminal pins other than the RS-232C pins of the Extend Terminal (15-pin) are allocated for use as optional external switch functions. By connecting switches to these pins, DVD-Video menus can be selected and command stacks loaded, and operations performed similarly to the remote control unit (page 89).

7. External sync

Video signal output can be synchronized to an input sync signal (page 80).

8. USB interface

The player is equipped with a USB interface allowing the use of a standard USB mouse (page 23). Additionally, a commercial USB memory device can be connected to store and load player settings and command stack information (page 71). This allows previous settings to be reloaded in the event of a malfunction, and shortens the time necessary for setting up multiple players for demonstrations and displays. Further, USB pen tablet input devices (*2) can be connected directly and used with simple configuration for DVD playback control and onscreen drawing by hand (page 76).

9. Monitor output

A video output is provided with functions allowing On-Screen Display (OSD). In this way, composite, component, S-Video, and DVI-D connectors can be used to output the main video without OSD data, while the monitor connector can be used to connect a control monitor that displays the main image with superimposed control data (page 26).

10. Pass Through function

This unit is equipped with input connectors for composite video and analog audio inputs. Switching between the DVD images and video/audio signals input from exterior sources can be performed easily by means of the front panel buttons, RS-232C commands, or Command Stack (page 77).

11. Player control and video blackboard using mouse or pen tablet input device

In place of the standard remote control unit, the player can be controlled if desired by a standard USB computer mouse or pen tablet (touch panel) device (*2). In addition, when playing DVD images, a pen tablet can be used to draw images and superimpose them on the output (pages 74 to 75).

12. NTSC / PAL dual system support

Supports playback of discs complying with either NTSC or PAL (*3) TV system standards.

13. Rack mount size

Optimally designed for standard rack mounting (2U size, 88 mm (H) x 420 mm (W)). Can also be mounted in EIA 19" racks by using the optional mounting kit.

(*1) The 15-pin connector is used for both the RS-232C interface and Extend Terminal functions.
(*2) Limited to manufacturers or models whose compatibility with this unit has been confirmed.
(*3) When playing PAL discs, the output device (monitor) must be PAL compliant.

Precautions and Warnings

Regarding installation

• Use this component in a level and steady location. Avoid using in wobbly or unstable locations, or places subject to vibration.
• Do not interrupt the ventilation functions of the component. Do not use when set on shaggy or long-pile carpets, or covered with cloths or other coverings, since the ventilation functions may be impaired, resulting in malfunction.
• Do not set other objects on top of this unit.
• Do not install this component in locations exposed to heat. Avoid installing this component above amplifiers or other heat-generating devices. When using in an audio rack or other vertical installation, install in a well-ventilated location below amplifiers or other heat-generating components, to avoid adverse effects from heat.
• When multiple players are simultaneously turned ON/OFF from an external controller, a large surge current is produced. Consult your Pioneer dealer regarding power switch ratings for such uses. Consult the "Specifications" (page 99) for details regarding the current values for each unit.

Important

When mounting this unit on an EIA rack, the rack mount kit CB-A802 (sold separately) must be used. See the instructions accompanying the kit for details on how to install the kit. Attempting to use other installation methods may result in damage to the unit or personal injury.

● The rack mount size for this unit is 2U.

Regarding copyrights

This product incorporates copyright protection technology that is protected by method claims of certain U.S. patents and other intellectual property rights owned by Macrovision Corporation and other rights owners. Use of this copyright protection technology must be authorized by Macrovision Corporation, and is intended for home and other limited viewing uses only unless otherwise authorized by Macrovision Corporation. Reverse engineering or disassembly is prohibited.

Transporting the player

When transporting this unit, always use the original packaging and avoid exposing the unit to vibrations, impacts, or dropping. During transport, do not allow the unit to be exposed to heat or moisture.

Also, before moving the unit, be sure to remove any disc and disconnect all cables and wires. Transporting the player with a disc loaded may result in damage to the disc or internal parts of the player. Moving the unit with cables attached may result in damage to connectors.

Special Precautions

Never move the player when it is operating. During play, discs rotate at very high speeds; lifting or moving the player at such times will result in damage to the disc. Likewise, subjecting the player to strong vibration or impact when a disc is loaded may result in damage to the player or disc. Whenever moving the player, stop playback and remove the disc first. Likewise stop playback and remove the disc before lifting or carrying the player.

This player is equipped with precision optical parts. Take adequate precautions to control temperature and dust in the room where it is installed.

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. Although lens cleaners for CD players are commercially available, we do not recommend using them since some may damage the lens.

Condensation

Condensation may form on internal parts of the player (mechanical parts and optical lenses) if it is brought into a warm room from a cool outdoors, or if the temperature of the room is raised too quickly. If condensation is left as is, the player will not operate properly, thus preventing playback. If internal condensation occurs, turn on the power and leave the player unused for 1 to 2 hours to allow it to acclimatize to the room temperature. This will allow the internal parts to rise to the same temperature as the room, thus evaporating any condensation and allowing it to be played once again.

Condensation may also occur in summer, if the outlet from an air cooler is allowed to direct its flow directly onto the player. In this event, change the installation location to avoid the flow from the air cooler.

Care of discs

■ Handling discs

- Do not apply seals or adhesive labels to the surface of a disc. Glue leaking from label edges can cause damage to the player.

• Discs with labels should not be used until confirming that no glue can leak from the edges.
• Do not touch the signal surface of a disc.

- Do not use cracked or broken discs.

Diagram showing a crossed-out circle with a diagonal line and a crossed-out rectangular shape, indicating prohibition or exclusion.

- Handle discs carefully to avoid scratching or soiling the surfaces.

■ Storing discs

• Always replace discs in their plastic jewel cases or sleeves, and store vertically in a location not exposed to direct sunlight, avoiding high temperatures or humidity, or very cold temperatures.
• Read all manufacturers' warnings supplied with discs.

Cleaning Care of the Unit

• Normal cleaning should consist of dry wiping the unit with a soft cloth. In the event of severe soiling, make a dilution of 1 part neutral deutergent in 5 or 6 parts water. Dip a soft cloth in the solution and wring well, then wipe away the dirt, followed by a gentle wiping with a soft dry cloth.
• Avoid contact of the unit with alcohol, thinner, benzene, insecticides or other similar chemicals, since they may cause the unit's labeling or finish to peel.
• Avoid long term contact of the unit with rubber or vinyl objects, since damage to the cabinet finish may result.
• When using a chemically impregnated cleaning cloth, read the instructions accompanying the cloth and follow all cautionary notes.
• Disconnect the power cord from its outlet before performing cleaning.

■ Care of discs

- Damaged or dirty discs can affect playback performance. Should a disc become marked with fingerprints, dust, etc., clean using a soft, dry cloth, wiping the disc lightly from center to outside edge as shown in the illustration. Wipe lightly from the center of the disc, using straight strokes. Do not wipe the disc surface using circular motions.

Personal computer-created disc compatibility

- If you record a disc using a personal computer, even if it is recorded in a “compatible format” as listed above, there will be cases in which the disc may not be playable in this machine due to the setting of the application software used to create the disc. In these particular instances, check with the software publisher for more detailed information.

Due to the unique construction of DVD-R/RW and CD-R/RW discs, leaving them for extended periods of time in the pause/still mode at a single place on the disc, or displaying a single menu page may result in the discs' becoming difficult to play at that location on the disc. When playing discs containing important data, users are recommended to construct backup archive discs.

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. Discs marked ALL will play in any player.

Copy controlled CDs

This player is designed to comply with music CD standards. Operation and playback of CDs that do not comply with music CD standards cannot be guaranteed.

Playback of "DualDisc" media

"DualDisc" media are discs with video or audio data complying with DVD standards recorded on one side, and with audio data recorded on the other side intended for playback on CD players.
The audio side opposite to the DVD side of these discs do not meet the physical standards of normal CDs, and may not play properly on this unit. The playback of the DVD side of "DualDisc" media is supported, but DVD-audio media cannot be played.

Important

• The DVD-V8000 is provided with video and audio input connectors, and supports the use of 1 Vp-p composite video signals and 2 Vrms (0 dBfs) analog audio signals. If signals are input with levels greatly exceeding these values, the through output signals may generate video noise and audio distortion.
• The range of adjustment possible with the external audio input level dial is from - to +6 dB. However, it should be used only to the degree that the through audio output signal level is 2 Vrms (0 dBfs) or less. Allowing signal levels greater than 2 Vrms may cause sound distortion.

Monitor out functions

■ Monitor OSD (On Screen Display)

The disc information listed on page 26 is superimposed on all image outputs. However the DVD-V8000 is also equipped with a composite video output connector for the connection of a data monitor in addition to the normal video output, thus allowing disc information to be superimposed on the monitor video output signals alone if desired.

For purposes of this player, the disc information displayed only on the data monitor is called "Monitor OSD".

(See page 83 for connection instructions.)

The ADV. SETUP menu allows the "Monitor OSD" to be set for display at the top of the screen, bottom of screen, or for display OFF. The default is for the Monitor OSD to be displayed at the bottom of the screen (page 56).

About PureCinema

DVD video signals originate from two types of media:

• Video material: Media recorded at 30 frames-per-second (fps)
  ● Film material: Media recorded at 24 fps.

Film material: Movies are recorded at 24 fps (24 Hz); when this “PureCinema” mode is used to convert the original 24 fps recording to 60 fps progressive scan, the processing information recorded in the disc is used to produce the same scanning rate as the original movie, thus allowing you to enjoy extremely stable, flicker free images.

The default setting is [Auto1], but if the picture appears to flicker or to produce rough contours, change the setting to [Auto2], [Off] or [On] as appropriate.

When playing back DVD movie software originally recorded as 24 fps "film material," you can see whether the disc is film or video material by displaying the video transmission rate on the disc information screen; if a hash mark (#) appears next to the transmission rate display [Tr.Rate], it is film material.

To display the disc's information screen, press the DISPLAY button (for details, see page 26).

Also, when playing “video material” DVDs, selecting [On] will produce a single composite of odd fields and even fields for progressive scan conversion. This setting is suitable for “video materials” with relatively little movement, or for “video materials” recorded in 30P (Progressive scan) mode. If contours appear with jagged edges or flickering, select [Auto1], [Auto2], or [Off].

This unit has been designed to allow connection to a DVI device. Proper operation may not be possible when connected to some HDMI devices.

By changing the weekday setting, it is possible to cycle the power ON/OFF multiple times in a single day. With the [ON] time input flashing, press the button to make the weekday flash. Then use the , buttons to change the weekday setting.

When the following kind of setting is made, the power turns ON at 7:30 on Sunday, playback starts from chapter 1 of title 1, and then power turns OFF at 12:00. Then at 13:00 power turns ON again, and chapter 1 of next title 2 is played, after which the power turns OFF at 17:30.

Using this kind of procedure, it is possible to set up to 24 ON/OFF times in a single weekday.

Setting the same ON/OFF times everyday

Setting the weekday to [ALL] results in the same ON/OFF times being allocated for every day of the week.

In the case shown below, the power is set to turn ON each day at 7:30, play chapter 1 of title 1, then turn off at 17:30.

In addition, given the above settings, if you wish for the power to remain off only on Sunday, set the Sunday [OFF] time to the same time as the [ON] time set under [ALL]. In this case, do not set any value in the Sunday [ON] time.

As an example, with the following settings, the power remains OFF on Sundays, while on other weekdays it turns ON at 7:30 and playback starts from chapter 1 of title 1, then power turns OFF at 17:30.

Date change with ON and OFF times

With the following settings, power turns on at 23:00 on Mon-day night, and turns OFF at 2:00 AM on Tuesday morning.

With these settings, the remote control unit and front panel buttons are disabled. [TRAY] is [Enable], but since commands are not accepted from the remote control unit and front panel buttons, they cannot be used to open the tray. However, the RS-232C's OP command can be used to open the tray.

Note

KEY LOCK can be set by using either the remote control unit or the mouse.

• When the mouse cursor (hand pointer 👍) appears over an item, clicking the left mouse button selects the item.
• When an item is selected, clicking the right or left mouse buttons allows the item's values to be changed.

5.3. Temporary KEY LOCK release

KEY LOCK settings are stored in the player's Flash Memory, so operation statuses are preserved even when power is switched from OFF to ON. However, the KEY LOCK settings can be temporarily released if necessary to change discs or to change other settings.

To temporarily release the unit from KEY LOCK settings, simultaneously hold the main unit's RETURN, ↓, and SCAN/SKIP ◀◀◀◀◀◀ buttons depressed for 2 seconds (this KEY LOCK release operation can be performed during playback if desired).

This releases all KEY LOCK and TRAY LOCK settings, allowing commands and buttons to be used normally. Note that this operation is only a temporary release of the KEY LOCK settings, however, and the settings themselves remain unchanged in the Flash Memory. As a result, if power is turned OFF and then ON again, the previously input KEY LOCK settings will be restored.

From the temporary KEY LOCK release condition, the KEY LOCK settings can also be restored by once again holding the main unit's RETURN, ↓, and SCAN/SKIP ◀◀◀◀◀ buttons depressed simultaneously for 2 seconds.

Important

During the temporary KEY LOCK release condition, if the ADV. SETUP menu is opened and the KEY LOCK settings are changed, the temporary KEY LOCK release status will be restored when the ADV. SETUP menu is closed. To enable the new settings, you must exit the temporary KEY LOCK release status.

5.4. KEY LOCK exceptions

The main unit's LCD button is not affected by the KEY LOCK settings. As a result, even if [FRONT KEY] is set to [Disable], the LCD button will continue to operate normally, allowing switching of the LCD display.

Loading/Saving Files Using USB Memory

The DVD-V8000 is equipped with the ability to use USB memory to preserve (save) player setting and other files, and to call up (load) those files from USB memory. These functions are convenient, for example, when you wish to use multiple DVD-V8000 with the same settings.

1. File types

■ DVD-8000 Setting files

Settings made on the SETUP menu and ADV.SETUP menu can be saved in USB memory. They can be also loaded to a player from USB memory. The settings include WEEKLY TIMER settings. Setting files saved in USB memory are given the file extension "set".

■ Command Stack files

Command Stack data can be saved in USB memory. They can be also loaded to a player from USB memory. Command Stack files saved in USB memory are given the file extension "cmd".

■ Weekly Timer files

Weekly Timer settings can be saved in USB memory. They can be also loaded to a player from USB memory. Weekly Timer files saved in USB memory are given the file extension "wtd".

■ Error log files (SAVE only)

Error logs stored within the DVD-V8000 can be saved in USB memory. Error log files saved in USB memory are given the file extension "err".

2. File names for saved files

Files saved to USB memory are given names with the format "DVD-V8000-serial-number.ext", where "DVD-V8000-serial-number" is the serial number of your player, and "ext" is the file extension (described in the previous section).

For example, if the serial number of product is ABCD123456, a setting file would be given the name "ABCD123456.set". If a file with the same name already exists on the USB memory, the additional integer "_n" will automatically be appended to the end of the serial number (where "n" is the number 1 to 5), for example, "ABCD123456_5.set".

If file names already exist on the USB with appended integers 1 to 5, you will be prompted as to whether you wish to overwrite the appended integer 5 file name (e.g., "ABCD123456_5.set"). If you reply OK, the file will be overwritten.

As a result of the above conventions, it is possible to save a total of six files for a single product serial number (one without any additional identifying integer, plus five with additional identifying integers).

3. Supported file systems for USB memory

File format systems supported for USB memory include FAT 16, FAT 12, and FAT 32. Devices FAT formatted on a computer can be used.

4. Operation

Operations can be performed by the remote control unit or mouse.

When using the remote control unit, use the arrow buttons (↑, ↓, ←, →) to select, and the ENTER button to confirm selections, and press the RETURN button to return to the ADV. SETUP menu.

When using the mouse, selection is performed by clicking the left button when the mouse cursor appears over an item as a hand pointer ( & ).

Other Functions

Pass through function

The DVD-V8000 is equipped with input connectors for composite video and analog audio, and supports simple switching between the currently playing video/audio disc and video/audio signals input from exterior sources.

This function is useful in venues such as museums or event sites where it may be desirable to switch to an image or audio source exterior to the disc currently being played. (See page 83 for connection instructions.)

Control and display specifications

1) Operations with main unit buttons

Every time one of the three front-panel PASS THROUGH buttons (MONITOR, VIDEO, AUDIO) is pressed, switching is performed between the DVD's video (and/or audio) playback, and the exterior input image (and/or audio). The indicator turns off during output of the internal disc video/audio signal, and lights during output of exterior input image (and/or audio) signals.

MONITOR:

When the button is pressed so that the indicator lights, video signals input to the VIDEO IN connectors are output at MONITOR VIDEO OUT.

VIDEO:

When the button is pressed so that the indicator lights, video signals input to the VIDEO IN connectors are output at VIDEO OUT.

AUDIO:

When the button is pressed so that the indicator lights, audio signals input to the AUDIO IN connectors are output at AUDIO OUT after audio input level adjustment.

The through output function defaults to OFF when power is first turned ON.

Exceptions

① When no video signal is input to VIDEO IN

No switching between playback image and exterior input image will occur even if the PASS THROUGH MONITOR or VIDEO button is pressed. In this case, the MONITOR or VIDEO indicator will flash.

② When exterior image input signal is interrupted during output

The MONITOR or VIDEO indicator will flash, and automatic switching will not occur back to the playback image.

2) Switching control using Command Stack

Switching can be controlled by means of Command Stack.

3) Switching control using RS-232C commands

Switching can be controlled by means of RS-232C interface commands.

Also, the functions of the PASS THROUGH buttons can be locked by means of the KL (Key Lock) command.

4) Automatic switching

When [AUTO PASS THROUGH] is set to [ON] on the ADV. SETUP menu, switching is performed automatically to set the selector to DVD when playback is started, and to external input when playback is stopped. Note that if auto switching is set to ON, the external input is selected when playback is stopped, even if no signal is provided to the VIDEO IN connector.

Important

• OSD for Monitor OUT is not displayed when outputting an exterior input video signal.
• The through output function is enabled only for the composite and monitor output connectors. Also, only analog audio is supported.
• When displaying video from external input, the SETUP and ADV. SETUP menus cannot be displayed. In addition, the player control panel (page 74) and video blackboard (page 75) functions are also disabled.

TV SYSTEM switch

When playing a video disc, this function automatically changes the output television signal format to match the television signal format recorded on the disc. (Factory default position:

AUTO)

Video CD:

Switches NTSC→PAL or PAL→NTSC.

DVD:

Can switch NTSC→PAL, but cannot switch PAL→NTSC.

When the TV SYSTEM switch is set to AUTO, playback of a DVD or Video CD causes signal conversion to occur as shown in the accompanying table. During CD playback or when no disc is loaded, output is set to the same signal format as was used the previous time.

TV SYSTEM NTSC PAL AUTO EXT TERMINAL RS+V3NC RGB INTS SYNC IN RS OFF ON COMPONENT VIDEO OUT AUDIO OUT AUDIO R LEVEL B L A B L B L L MUSE RETURN USB +2 TV SIGNAL NTSC PAL AUTO

About MOD. PAL

Most recent PAL display sets automatically detect whether the format of input signals is PAL or NTSC, and adjust the vertical sync accordingly. When using such display sets, images will be projected properly without vertical compression.

Depending on the display, images may appear vertically compressed, and black bands may appear at the top and bottom. This phenomenon is caused when NTSC format signals are converted to PAL format (MOD. PAL), and is not a malfunction.

If your PAL display set is not equipped with a V-hold function, it may not be possible to play NTSC format discs (attempting to play NTSC format discs will result in vertical rolling of the image).

If vertical flutter appears when playing back discs, despite the fact that the display set has a V-hold function, adjust the display's vertical sync control until the image flutter is suppressed.

External sync function

The DVD-V8000 is able to accept an external sync signal (black burst), allowing the video output to be synchronized with external signals. (External sync does not operate when playing discs other than DVDs.)

By means of this function, video switching timing can be performed without the need for connecting a TBC (time base corrector), thus allowing switching between images without causing disruption (vertical roll).

To turn this function ON, switch the ADV. SETUP menu's [EXTERNAL SYNC] setting from [OFF] (default) to match the television format of the disc being played back ([NTSC] or [PAL]). At the same time, set the rear panel TV SYSTEM switch to match the disc being played back (NTSC or PAL).

When synchronizing a single player alone, set its terminator switch to ON. (Factory default position: ON)

Synchronizing two or more players

- When a single sync generator be used to input sync signals to two or more players, set the external sync terminator switch for the terminal player to ON, and those for other connected players to OFF.

Important

• When the external sync function is set to ON, discs other than DVDs cannot be played back.
• The black burst signal's subcarrier component is not locked.
• The video signals from video output connectors will be disrupted during the approximate 5 seconds required for the external sync signal to lock.
• Input the external sync signal before beginning DVD playback, since it will not operate if it is input after playback begins.
• Depending on the sync generator and cables used, connecting numerous players may result in attenuation of the external sync signal, resulting in malfunction.(see Fig.1)

Differences between Mode 1 and Mode 2

When the ADV.SETUP menu's EXTERNAL SYNC is used to select NTSC Mode 1 and PAL Mode 1, the unit's video signal output is delayed by 1 field with respect to the external sync signal.

When NTSC Mode 2 and PAL Mode 2 are selected, no delay is produced with respect to the external sync signal, but the following functional restrictions apply:

• SETUP's Video Adjust command is not supported.
  ● DVI output is OFF.
• Component output is interlaced, and progressive output is not supported.

	NTSC Mode 1, PAL Mode 1	NTSC Mode 2, PAL Mode 2
Video output timing with respect to external sync signal	1 field delay	Sync
SETUP's Video Adjust function	Supported	Not supported
DVI output	Output	Not output
Component output	Interlaced or Progressive	Interlaced

In either Mode 1 or Mode 2, synchronized output from two DVD-V8000 units with the same settings is achieved without timing deviation.

When switching between the output of a video component other than the DVD-V8000, if the 1-field delay is problematic, select Mode 2.

Settings can be changed manually if desired, and reset data is stored for up to 5 individual devices even when power is turned off. For manual setting instructions, refer to the section "DVI connections" under Initial Settings (page 48.)

Note

- When connecting this player to a DVI device, the message [DVI] and the set resolution will appear for a few seconds in the main unit's display.

DVI:ON

1920×1080i

Important

- Copyright-protected discs cannot be displayed by DVI devices that do not support HDCP (a content protection system for digital image data).

● VGA (640 x 480 pixels) progressive image
● 720 x 480 pixel progressive/interlaced image
● 720 x 576 pixel progressive/interlaced image
● 1280 x 720 pixel progressive image
● 1920 x 1080 pixel interlaced image

Important

• If the connected display does not support any of the resolutions listed above, the video images may not be displayed properly.
• 720 x 576 pixel progressive/interlaced images are selectable only during the playback of PAL discs.
  Note that VGA, and 720 x 480 pixel progressive scan/interlaced scan video can only be selected when playing NTSC discs.
• With some displays, inputting a non-supported display mode signal may result in an inability to display images until the power has been switched off then on again.

Connecting to an AV surround amplifier

Multichannel surround sound can be enjoyed by connecting this player to an AV amplifier equipped with digital input/output connections (e.g., Dolby Digital or DTS).

Connect the AV amplifier to this player's optical digital audio output connector or coaxial digital audio output connector.

Note

- Video connections can be made using component, S-video and DVI in addition to composite format. However, the same kind of connections used between the DVD-V8000 and the AV amplifier must also be used between the AV amplifier and the display.

Important

- This player's optical digital connector uses a shutter mechanism. When connecting to the optical out connector, be sure to orient the connectors correctly and connect firmly. Forcefully inserting the connector in an incorrect direction may result in warping the shape of the terminal, preventing the shutter from closing even when the cable is disconnected.

Connections when using monitor out

The DVD-V8000 is equipped with composite output connectors for monitor use; in addition to the main video output, these connectors allow the display of disc information for use by the user in monitoring the output.

Note

- To display disc information on the monitor output, it is necessary to set [Monitor OSD] to [ON] in the ADV. SETUP menu.

Connections for using the pass through function

The DVD-V8000 is equipped with composite video inputs and analog audio input connectors, thus allowing the input of video/audio signals from other DVD players.

In addition, through the use of the PASS THROUGH button and RS-232C commands, switching can be performed between the DVD-V8000's video/audio playback and external input video/audio.

Important

- Through output of externally input video/audio signals must be in the composite video and unbalanced audio formats for proper operation of this feature.

Serial Interface Specifications

In addition to the basic operations via main unit control panel and remote control unit, the DVD-V8000 is equipped with a RS-232C serial control interface supporting connection to a computer. Two types of D-Sub serial connectors are provided (9-pin and 15-pin). The selection of one or the other of the connectors is made via the ADV. SETUP menu.

Important

- The 9-Pin and 15-Pin connectors cannot be accessed simultaneously.

Connector pin assignments are as shown.

Control Functions

(a) Serial control

TxD, RxD, DTR

Serial control interface complying with RS-232C standards.

(b) Extend Terminal

SW1, SW2, SW3, SW4, SW5, SW6, SW7, SW8

Simple control of the player can be effected by connecting switches to these terminals.

(c) External power control

The player's power control can be effected via the interface connector's POWER pin.

Control is disabled when key-lock is set. Unset the key-lock before attempting to use the external power control function.

In the standby condition, when an H signal of 100 msec or more is followed by a L signal, the power ON sequence is performed. In the power ON condition, impression of the same series of signals will produce the power OFF sequence, placing the player in the standby condition.

Terminal input voltage is ±12 V or less, with H signal level of 4.5 V or above, and L signal of 0.5 V or below.

graph LR
    A["Standby condition"] --> B["100 ms or more"]
    C["Power ON condition"] --> D["100 ms or more"]
    E["Power ON sequence"] --> F["Power OFF sequence"]

The interface connector's STOP_ST Pin can be used to detect the player's status (play/stop). The "H" signal is detected during player stop, and the "L" signal during playback. Since output collector output is used, pull-up should be to maximum 12 volts (50 mA).

Serial Control Specifications

(1) Signal level

RS-232C level

(2) Data format

Data length: 8 bits

Stop bit: 1 bit

Parity: None

(3) Transmission speed (Baud rate)

Baud rate is selectable from 4800, 9600, 19200 (bps), set via the ADV. SETUP menu.

Factory default setting is 4800 bps.

Computer Connections

The DVD-V8000 is designed with the ability to communicate with a computer using the RS-232C port's Pin 2 and Pin 3 for communication, and the 15-Pin D-Sub connector's Pin 1 or the 9-Pin D-Sub connector's Pin 5 as ground.

Connections between the player and computer are as follows:

graph LR
    A["Computer"] --> B["TxD"]
    A --> C["RxD"]
    A --> D["GND"]
    B --> E["RxD"]
    C --> F["TxD"]
    D --> G["GND"]
    E --> H["DVD-V8000"]
    F --> H
    G --> H

The player can accept computer commands whenever the power is turned ON. As a result, there is no need to connect control lines other than TxD and RxD. However, depending on the computer, proper control operation may not be achieved without hardware processing of CTS inputs.

In such cases, DTR output can be used. Under transmit conditions, DTR is constantly output in positive (+) potential, and should be connected to the computer's CTS input.

Important

- Immediately after turning on the player's power, wait to input commands for at least two seconds until the DTR output becomes positive (+). Commands transmitted before that interval may not be properly received, or may return errors.

Commands and Status

The basic protocol is for the computer to issue a command and the player return with a status.

Example:

Computer	DVD-V8000
(1) Search for frame 1000	→ (2) Execute search← (3) Finish
(4) Play from frame 2000	→ (5) Execute play← (6) Finish

Actual commands and statuses utilize ASCII character codes. Command mnemonics are expressed as two characters. In most cases, upper case and lower case are not discriminated but upper case characters are used by convention. In order to indicate chapter numbers and speeds, arguments may accompany commands. In this way, commands double as terminators for arguments.

In the simplest protocol, sending a single command will cause the player to immediately execute it. The code is appended as a terminator to the ends of command lines.

Example:

CH: Set address mode to chapter.

Example:

10SE: Search for chapter 10

This unit is provided with a command buffer, so up to 32 characters worth of commands can be input consecutively.

Example:

10SE 20PL: Search for chapter 10, then play until 20.

In this example, when the command is received the command line is executed beginning from the first command in the buffer.

The maximum command line is 32 characters.

Important

- If a command setting autostop (e.g., PL, MF, MR) is immediately followed by another command, the next command will be executed without waiting for the completion of the earlier command.

When all commands complete their execution, the player transmits the finish message (R). In the event of an error, an error code such as "E04" will be returned. Error codes take the form "Exx" where "xx" is a two-digit number.

Error Messages

In the event of a command error, the player will return one of the following error codes:

Error Code	Message	Contents
E00	Communication error	An error in the communication line:• Framing error• Buffer overflow
E04	Feature not available	Attempt to execute unavailable function.• Wrong command mnemonic.• Not usable in that mode.
E06	Missing argument	Incorrect parameter designated
E11	Disc not exist	Disc is not loaded.
E12	Search error	Search address not found.
E15	Picture stop	Picture has stopped• During auto play picture stop code resulted in still image
E16	Interrupt by Other device	During command execution, main unit button or remote control unit, or external control interrupt was received.
E99	Panic	Fatal error received.• Disc loading not possible.• Stopped due to mechanical error.• Stopped due to faulty play.

Usable Commands

The DVD-V8000 supports use of commands shown in the following table:

(1) Commands are expressed in two characters (ASCII code).
(2) Other than data for print command (PR), upper case and lower case characters are not discriminated.

Arguments

(1) Arguments are expressed in ASCII decimal code.
(2) Arguments are placed before their respective commands. Commands requiring arguments will return an error code if the argument is missing.
(3) Arguments may be of the following types:

1. Address

Title number, chapter number, track number, index number, frame number, time code, etc.

The decision whether the address is to be treated as frame, time, chapter, track or title is dependent on the setting value designated by the address mode.

If a value is given greater than the maximum valid value, it will not be evaluated correctly.

Title number	[DVD]N1N2 1 (min) to 99 (max)
Chapter number	[DVD]N1N2 0 (min) to 99 (max)
Frame number	[DVD](computed as 1 second = 30 frames)N1N2N3N4N5N6N7 1 (min) to 999999 (max)
Time code	[DVD]N1N2N3N4N5 0 (min) to 599:59 (max)(N1N2N3 Min N4N5 Sec)[CD/VCD]N1N2N3N4 0 (min) to 99:59 (max)(N1N2 Min N3N4 Sec)
Track number	[CD/VCD]N1N2 1 (min) to 99 (max)

2. Integers

Express parameters for commands with arguments other than addresses as noted above (SU, AG, VS, MS. . .etc.), and are described in ASCII decimals code.

Extend Terminal Specifications

1. Introduction

The terminals SW1 to SW8 for the rear panel's EXT TERMINAL connector each has +3.3 V pull-up voltage. Functions are produced as a result of the combinations possible based on whether each terminal is shorted to GND or not. (See page 84 for pin assignments).

The combination of input ports for SW1 to SW8 result in a maximum of 82 settable switches. For the combinations and their supported functions, see “Default settings” (pages 90 to 91).

Also, the relationship of SW combinations and their supported functions is not fixed; the function setting can be changed for some combinations in the ADV. SETUP menu (page 63).

2. SW and functions (commands)

The Extend Terminal functions can be divided broadly into three types:

① Functions that call command stack [GROUP]

STACK GROUP 1 to 27 are keys used to call and execute previously recorded Command Stack.

② Functions with same function as remote control unit buttons

MENU, TOP MENU, ↑, ↓, ←, →, ENTER, RETURN, PLAY, STOP, PAUSE, STEP FWD/REV, SCAN FWD/REV, SKIP FWD/REV, DISPLAY, RECALL, MEMORY, REPEAT, REPEAT A-B, AUDIO, ANGLE, SUBTITLE, SETUP, 0 to 9, CLEAR, TITLE/CHP/FRM/TIME

However, SCAN FWD/REV operates differently from the remote control unit, since it lacks the scan lock function (fast forward/reverse scan is performed even if the SW is released).

③ Expanded functions from the remote control unit

• 10 to 20 (direct numeral input to 20 during selecting search and menu item selection)
• OPEN/CLOSE

3. Connections to controller (SW interface)

The following is an example of connections with controller:

(1) Simple example without using diode matrix

In this case, the number of switches that can be allocated (usable functions) is reduced.

    H --> J

(2) Example using diode matrix (partial)

In this case, a maximum of 82 switches can be allocated.

Specifications of switches used in connection example:

Connection resistance:

1 Ω or less

Insulation resistance:

1 MΩ or more

Non-lock type

Specifications of diodes used in connection example:

0.7 V or less (IF 1 mA)

Surge current:

100 mA or less

Forward current:

10 mA or less (VR=10 V)

When synchronizing a player with frame-unit accuracy, the use of serial command control is necessary. The parallel controls and remote control unit controls noted here cannot be used for synchronized playback at frame-unit accuracy.

Troubleshooting

Incorrect operations are often mistaken for trouble and malfunctions. If you think there is something wrong with this component, check the points below. Sometimes the trouble may originate from another component. Thus, also check the other electrical appliances also in use.

If the trouble cannot be rectified even after checking the following items, contact your dealer or nearest PIONEER service center.

Disc playback related

Symptom	Cause/Remedy
Can’t play disc.	CD-R/RW or DVD-R/RW discs that have not been finalized cannot be played. DVD-R discs compliant with CPRM cannot be played. SECAM system discs cannot be played. Some CD-R/RW or DVD-R/RW discs may not be playable if recording quality is poor.
[Please disable External Sync setting] appears in display and the CD/VCD disc is ejected.	Non-DVD discs cannot be played if the external sync function is set to ON. Go to the ADV. SETUP menu and confirm that [EXTERNAL SYNC] is set to [OFF].
[TV System selector error. External sync type mismatch] appears in display and the disc is ejected.	The TV mode (NTSC/PAL) you are trying to apply external sync to does not agree with the mode of the DVD you are trying to play. Go to the ADV. SETUP menu and set [EXTERNAL SYNC] to [OFF], or adjust the proper TV mode.

DVI related

Symptom	Cause/Remedy
Playback disc images cannot be displayed as DVI.	Copyright-protected discs cannot be played on DVI displays that do not support HDCP.
When DVI resolution is changed, images are disturbed or do not display.	Your DVI display may not support the display resolution you have set. Consult the operation instructions for your display. Holding the remote control unit's [0] number button depressed for 5 or more seconds will reset the resolution to the value initially set when the display was first connected to the player. Also, depending on the display, inputting a signal of non-supported resolution may cause the unit to stop responding until the display's power is disconnected and reconnected.
Noise occurs in DVI output images.	Using an excessively long cable may result in the generation of noise; in this event, change to a shorter cable.

USB memory device related

Symptom	Cause/Remedy
[NO USB MEMORY] is displayed when performing load/save with USB memory device.	USB memory device is not detected properly.Reinsert USB memory device and try again.
[Unsupported memory device] appears in the display when connecting a USB memory device.	This memory device is not supported by the DVD-V8000. In general, commercially marketed USB memory devices are manufactured to common specifications and can be used with the DVD-V8000, but operating compatibility has not been confirmed for all devices available on the market, with the result that it is possible some such devices may not be compatible with the DVD-V8000.
When saving to USB memory device, screen displays [NO ENTRY AREA] or [NO CAPACITY].	USB memory device is full; no more files can be written.Use computer to delete unnecessary files.
No file displayed when loading from a USB memory device.	File extension may be mistaken. Files that can be displayed include LOAD SETUP files (extension "set") and LOAD COMMAND STACK files (extension "cmd").
File names are distorted/unreadable when loading from USB memory.	Were two-byte characters used in the file name?Two-byte characters cannot be displayed.
Error occurs when performing load or save from/to USB memory.	Is write-prevent enabled for the USB memory device?Try reinserting the USB memory device and try again.If error reoccurs, use the computer to reformat the memory using FAT file system.

Other related

Symptom	Cause/Remedy
Can’t control with RS-232C.	Check the ADV. SETUP menu’s serial port assignment, Baud rate setting, and serial interface specifications.
Can’t use external sync.	Go to the ADV. SETUP menu and confirm that the [EXTERNAL SYNC] setting is [ON]. Also, consult the “Important” item regarding the external sync function on page 80.
When setup menu is displayed, it disappears after a few seconds.	Periodic resets may occur if the DVI connection has become unstable. Check and confirm that the DVI connection is secure. Also, this kind of symptom may occur if the input for a DVI-connected display is set to something other than DVI. When not using DVI output, disconnect the DVI connections.
Mouse doesn’t operate.	In general, commercially marketed USB mouse devices are manufactured to common specifications and can be used with the DVD-V8000, but operating compatibility has not been confirmed for all devices available on the market, with the result that it is possible some such devices may not be compatible with the DVD-V8000.
No sound.	Digital audio is not output unless [Digital Audio Out] is set to “ON” in the Initial Settings section (page 40). Also, analog audio is not output if DTS audio has been selected.
Internal clock displays wrong time.	The internal clock has an permissible operating deviation of about 2 minutes per month. In addition, if the power cord is disconnected for more than about 7 to 10 days, the internal clock’s time will be cleared and must be reset when the power is restored (page 78).

In the event errors appear in main unit display

In the event of a hardware error, the DVD-V8000 will display an error code and the name of the error.

Errors may also occur with non-hardware matters, due to disc scratches or soiling, or in the case of R/RW media, due to poor recording quality. The following are the main non-hardware-related errors that may occur.

However, note that these are not all the possible errors, so in the event an error appears in the main unit's display, check to be sure that the disc is not scratched or soiled.

Error Code: 1B Index 0 Error	Errors that may occur due to disc scratches or soiling, or in the case of R/RW discs, due to poor recording quality.
Error Code: 1C Wobble Detect
Error Code: 33 Focus Error

Glossary

Aspect Ratio

The height-to-width ratio of a television set's screen. Conventional televisions had aspect ratios of 4:3 but widescreen television sets have a 16:9 ratio, for richer viewing enjoyment.

Interlaced

Each frame of displayed playback is divided into two fields: the first field paints the odd-numbered scanning lines, and the persistence of vision of the eye is used to allow the next field of even-numbered scanning lines to be painted, thus completing a single complete frame. This method is used as the standard scanning system in conventional television receivers. In this unit's Operating Instructions, interlaced resolutions are indicated by the "i" following the resolution number (e.g., 525i).

Video output (composite)

A video signal transmitted in the form of a single code composed of luminance signal (Y) and color signal (C). However, the device receiving the signal must separate the luminance (Y) and color (C) components once again. The image quality is determined by the accuracy with which these two components can be divided.

Component output signal

The entire component output signal is composed of the three elements luminance Y, C_B/P_B , and C_R/P_R , with the result that connecting to a television monitor equipped with component inputs will results in the production of a more beautiful image.

Parental Lock

Some commercial DVDs with violent or mature contents are provided with parental viewer control levels (higher and lower). By setting the player's Parental Lock level to a value lower than the level of the disc, playback of these discs can be prevented unless an individually set password is input.

Optical digital output

Audio channels are normally converted to electrical signals and sent from the player to an amplifier or other device; with optical digital output, however, the signals are converted to light signals and transmitted via an optical fiber (the receiving amplifiers and other devices are equipped with optical digital inputs).

Video Recording format (VR mode)

A recording mode in which video images and audio signals are written in real time * straight to to non-specific locations on a DVD-RW disc. (*On a computer, input data is quickly written to a hard disk (or removable media), but it is first stored in the memory. Thereafter, the CPU (OS) establishes the order of the data and writes the data to the hard disk. In contrast, when data is written to the hard disk in the immediate order in which is received, it is called "real-time" recording). Pioneer's DVD recorders calls this "VR mode recording." VR mode includes the normal video quality recording mode, and other modes in which image quality and recording time can be set freely.

Playback Control (PBC)

Signals recorded on Video CDs (Version 2.0) and used to control playback. Using the menu screens recorded on Video-CDs with PBC allows simple conversational control of disc and search functions for more enjoyable playback. High- and Low-resolution still images can also be enjoyed.

Progressive Scan

Each video frame is not divided into two, but instead scanned as a single whole frame. This scanning mode produces beautiful, no-flicker playback particularly when displaying written text on still images, or pictures with numerous graphics and horizontal lines. In this player's Operating Instructions, progressive scan resolutions are followed by a "p" designator (e.g., 525p).

Multi-angle

Some commercial DVD software is recorded with images taken simultaneously from multiple camera angles. With DVD video, up to 9 angles can be recorded.

DVD Video format recording

A recording format in which data is written continuously to the DVD-R/DVD-RW disc using the same format used with commercial DVD software disc bearing the DVD or DVD logos. Pioneer DVD recorders refer to this as Video Mode recording. Video mode includes alternatives for both high-image-quality recording and long-time recording.

DVI

Digital Visual Interface. A standard for transmitting video signals to a digitally-driven display monitor. Since analog signal conversion is not required, high image quality is preserved.

GUI

Graphical User Interface. An environment in which menus are displayed on screen and provide for easy operation.

HDCP

High Definition Copy Protocol. A copy-protection scheme designed to protect copyrighted contents.

HDMI

High Definition Multimedia Interface.

A digital interface standard for next-generation television that expands on the DVI (Digital Video Interface) standard.

OSD

Abbreviation for On-Screen Display. A function that displays current operating conditions on the screen.

S-Video Output

A type of video signal in which the luminance (Y) and color (C) components are transmitted separately. Since no conversion is needed to separate the luminance and color components, it provides a higher quality image than those produced with composite signals.
