Handling discs

When holding discs of any type, take care not to leave
fingerprints, dirt or scratches on the disc surface. Hold
the disc by its edge or by the center hole and edge.

Damaged or dirty discs can affect playback and
recording 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 unusable.

Should a disc become marked with fingerprints, dust,
etc., clean using a soft, dry cloth, wiping the disc lightly
from the center to the outside edge as shown in the
diagram below.

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, thinner or
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 take care to handle and store
discs correctly. When you're not using a disc, return it to
its case and store upright. Avoid leaving discs in
excessively cold, humid, or hot environments (including
under direct sunlight).

Don't glue paper or put stickers onto the disc, or use a
pencil, ball-point pen or other sharp-tipped writing
instrument. These could all damage the disc.

For more detailed care information see the instructions
that come with discs.

Do not load more than one disc into the player.

Damaged discs

Discs spin at high speed inside the player. If you can see
that a disc is cracked, chipped, warped, or otherwise
damaged, don't risk using it in your player—you could
end up damaging the unit.

This unit is designed for use with conventional, fully
circular discs only. Use of shaped discs is not
recommended for this product. Pioneer disclaims all
liability arising in connection with the use of shaped
discs.

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. Although lens cleaners for CD players are
commercially available, we do not recommend using
them since some may damage the lens.

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. For this reason you should leave it to adjust
to the warmer temperature for about an hour before
switching on and using.

Hints on installation

We want you to enjoy using this unit 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.
