Cleaning external surfaces
To clean the compact disc recorder, wipe with a soft, dry
cloth. For stubborn dirt, wet a soft cloth with a mild
detergent solution made by diluting one part detergent to
5 or 6 parts water, wring well, then wipe off the dirt. Use a
dry cloth to wipe the surface dry. Do not use volatile
liquids such as benzene and thinner which may damage
the surfaces.
Moving the unit
If you need to move the unit, first switch it off and unplug
from the wall outlet. Never lift or move the unit during
playback or recording — the disc rotates at a high speed
and may be damaged.
Maintaining Your CD Recorder
CD lens cleaner
The compact disc recorder's pickup lens should
not become dirty in normal use, but if for some reason it
should malfunction due to dirt or dust, consult your
nearest Pioneer authorized service center. Although lens
cleaners for compact disc recorders are commercially
available, we do not recommend using them since some
may damage the lens.
Storing Optical Cable
When storing optical cable, coil loosly as shown below.
The cable may be damaged if bent around sharp corners.

Hints on Installation
We want you to enjoy using the PDR–509 for years to come, so please bear in mind the following points when choosing a
suitable location for it:
DO...
❖ Use in a well-ventilated room.
❖ Place on a solid, flat, level surface, such as a table, shelf
or stereo rack.
DON’T...
❖ Use in a place exposed to high temperatures or
humidity, including near radiators and other heat-
generating appliances.
❖ Place on a window sill or other place where the player
will be exposed to direct sunlight.
❖ Use in an excessively dusty or damp environment.
❖ Place directly on top of an amplifier, or other component
in your stereo system that becomes hot in use.
❖ Use near a television or monitor as you may experience
interference — especially if the television uses an indoor
antenna.
❖ Use in a kitchen or other room where the player may be
exposed to smoke or steam.
❖ Place on an unstable surface, or one that is not large
enough to support all four of the unit’s feet.
Avoiding condensation
problems
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 tempo-
rarily impair its performance. For this
reason you should leave it to adjust to the
warmer temperature for about an hour
before switching on and using.

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 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.
