1 Before You Start
Maintaining your CD recorder
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
Before moving this unit, remove all discs, switch the unit off once,
then back on again. When all three disc marks have disappeared
from the left side of the display, switch off again and unplug from
the wall outlet. This procedure returns the unit to its shipping
position.
Never lift or move the unit during playback or recording — discs
rotate at a high speed and may be damaged.
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.
Power cord caution
Handle the power cord by the plug part. 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, or other object on the power
cord or pinch the cord in any other way. Never make a knot in the
cord or tie it with other cords. The power cords should be routed so
that they are not likely to be stepped on. A damaged power cord can
cause a fire or give you an electric shock. Check the power cord
once in a while. If you find it damaged, ask your nearest Pioneer
authorized service center or your dealer for a replacement.
About CD, CD–R and CD–RW Discs
This unit is compatible with three different types of compact disc:
Playback-only CDs
This unit will playback any ordinary audio CDs
carrying the Compact Disc Digital Audio mark
shown right.
CD-Recordable discs
Recordable CDs, or CD-R, carry the mark shown
right, and are 'write once'. This means that once
something is recorded on the disc it is perma-
nent — it can't be re-recorded or erased.
CD-Rewritable discs
Rewritable CDs, or CD-RW, carry the mark shown
right. As the name indicates, you can erase and re-
record material on these discs so that they can be
used over and over again.
Consumer-use discs
This recorder is only compatible with special consumer-use CD-R
and CD-RW discs. These are clearly marked
For Music Use
Only, For Consumer, or For Consumer Use. Other types
of CD-R or CD-RW discs, such as those available for computer-
based CD recorders, will not work with this recorder.
