Taking care of your
player and discs
Handling discs
When holding discs of any type, take care not to
leave fingerprints, smears or scratches on the
disc surface. Hold the disc by an edge or
pinched between the center hole and an edge.
Damaged or dirty discs can affect playback
performance. Take care also not to scratch the
label side of the disc. Although not as fragile as
the recorded side, scratches can still result in a
disc becoming corrupted or unusable.
Should a disc become marked with fingerprints,
dust, etc., clean using a soft, dry cloth, wiping
the disc lightly from the center to an outside
edge as shown in the diagram below.
Wipe lightly from the center of the disc
using straight strokes.
Don't wipe the disc surface using
circular strokes.
If necessary, use a cloth soaked in alcohol, or a
commercially available CD/DVD cleaning kit to
clean a disc more thoroughly. Never use benzine
or any other cleaning agents, including products
designed for cleaning vinyl records.
Storing discs
Although CDs and DVD discs are more durable
than vinyl records, you should still handle and
store discs carefully. When not in use, return the
disc to its jewele case or jacket and store
vertically. Avoid leaving discs in excessively cold,
humid, or hot environments (including in direct
sunlight).
Do NOT place paper stickers onto the disc.
When writing on a disc, do NOT mark with a
pencil, ball-point pen, or other sharp-tipped
writing instrument that may damage a disc.
For more detailed care information see the
instructions that come with discs.
Do not load more than one disc into the player at
a time.
Discs to avoid
Discs spin at high speeds inside the player. Discs
that are cracked, chipped or warped can damage
or possibly destroy the player’s optics.
This player is designed for use with conventional,
circular discs only. Shaped discs such as
business card sized are not recommended for
this product. Pioneer disclaims all liability arising
in connection with the use of shaped discs.
