INTRODUCTION

The DVD-204_BR is based upon the model DVD-204. While the DVD-204 works with standard Pioneer DVD
players such as the DVD-V7400 and DVD-V5000, the DVD-204-BR is designed specifically to work with the
Piooneer BDP-V6000 BluRay player. The principal difference is in how the discs are addressed: the standard
DVD-204 uses either Chapter Number of Frame Number to access content on the DVD, while the -BR version
uses Chapter Number or Time, time being entered as minutes seconds with no punctuation e.g. 4 minutes 16
seconds is entered as 416.

On-Screen Programming is not available. Programming is via RS-232 serial connection to a PC running
HyperTerm or a similar serial communications program.

INSTALLATION

The first step is to configure the Pioneer V6000 player. The Baud rate must be set to 9600, and Power On
Start must be enabled. In addition, the desired video and audio outputs may be selected at this point.. Refer
to the Pioneer Instruction Manual for information regarding these settings.

The Firmware of the player needs to be Version 4.17. The Manual gives instructions for checking the version.
If it is lower than 4.17, it should be updated following the Manual’s instructions.

Connect the player to the monitor using appropriate cabling, either HDMI, VGA or Composite. Do not connect
the DVD-204-BR to the player until after the player has been configured per instructions below.
