Connecting up
Easy connections
• 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.
• The following illustrations show the DV-393, but connections for the DV-490V are the same
except where indicated.
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.)
• When connecting to your TV as shown above, do not set the Component Out setting (See
on page 35) to
Progressive
.

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
on page 35.
When the player is set to output progressive
scan video, the
PRGSVE indicator lights in the
front panel display.
Important
• When Component Out (page 35) is set to
Progressive , there is no video output from
the VIDEO OUT (composite) and S (S-
video) jacks.
• If you want to display video on more than
one monitor 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,
switch everything off and reconnect using
the supplied video cable (see
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
on
page 15.)
Connecting to an AV receiver
To enjoy multichannel surround sound you
need to connect this player to an AV receiver
using the digital audio output.
In addition to a digital connection, we
recommend also connecting using the stereo
analog connection.
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).

• The arrow on the cable connector body
should be face up for correct alignment
with the connector on the player.
Note
• 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
on page 35, on page 36
and on page 36 to do this).
However, the settings for each component
are then stored in memory (for up to 2
components).
• 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 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.
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
480P .

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.

FAQ
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
on page 42.
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
on
page 40.
First check that you loaded the disc the
right way up (label side up), and that it’s
clean and undamaged. See
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
on page 8 for more on disc compatibility.
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.
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.
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
on page 14 for
more on HDMI compatibility.
This player cannot display pictures from
DVI compatible sources. See
on page 14 for
more on HDMI compatibility.
Make sure the resolution on this player
matches that of the component you have
connected using HDMI. See
on page 36 to change the HDMI
resolution.

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.
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.

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)
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.
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.
