Cleaning the player
To clean the PLAYER, 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. Also use a dry cloth to wipe the surface
dry. Do not use volatile liquids such as benzene and thinner
which are harmful to the unit.
Storing discs
• Discs are made of the same kinds of plastic used for
conventional analog audio records. Be careful not to allow
discs to warp; always store discs in their cases vertically,
avoiding locations with high heat or humidity, or extremely
low temperatures. Avoid leaving discs in cars, since the seat
of a car in direct sunlight can become unbelievably hot.
• Always read and abide by the precautionary notes listed on
disc labels.
CD lens cleaner
The player's pickup lens should not become dirty in normal use,
but if for some reason it should malfunction due to soiling,
consult your nearest PIONEER authorized service center. Lens
cleaners for CD players are commercially available, but special
care should be exercised in their use since some may cause
damage to the lens.
Cleaning and handling compact discs
• The presence of fingerprints or smudges on the surface of
the disc will not directly affect the recorded signals, but
depending on the degree of contamination, the brightness of
the light reflected from the signal surfaces may be reduced,
causing degradation of sound quality. Always keep your discs
clean by wiping them gently with a soft cloth from the inner
edge toward the outer periphery.
• If a disc becomes very dirty, dip a soft cloth in water, and
after wringing it out well, wipe the dirt away gently, and then
remove any water drops with another soft, dry cloth.
• Do not use record cleaning sprays or anti-static agents on
discs. Also, never clean discs with benzene, thinner, or other
volatile solvents, since damage to the disc surface may
result.
Condensation
When this unit is brought into a warm room from previously
cold surroundings or when the room temperature rises sharp-
ly, condensation may form inside, and the unit may not be able
to attain its full performance. If this occurs, allow the unit to
stand for about an hour or raise the room temperature gradual-
ly.
With this player, use discs which display the mark
shown below. (Optical audio digital discs.)
Playing CD-R and CD-RW discs in this CD changer
• This unit can play CD-R and CD-RW discs. However, it may
not be possible to play unfinalized discs* which have very
little recording time left on them.
* What is finalization?
Finalizing a CD-R or CD-RW disc means making a recorded
disc playable on an ordinary CD player. In the case of CD-
RWs, the player must be specifically compatible with CD-RW
discs for it to play them.
• When holding discs, do not touch their signal surfaces. Hold
by the edges, or by one edge and the center hole.
• Do not affix gummed labels or tape to the label surfaces.
Also, do not scratch or damage the label.
• Discs rotate at high speed inside the player. Do not use
damaged (cracked or warped) discs.
• Do not play a CD with a special shape (having other shape
than a circular disc, such as a heart shaped disc). Otherwise
malfunction may occur.
• The CD accessories (stabilizer protection sheet, protection
ring, etc.) which are marketed for improving the sound quality
or protecting discs as well as the disc cleaner should not be
used with this system because they may cause malfunction.
Re-transporting
When transporting this unit in the future, remove all discs from
the rack. Turn off the STANDBY/ON switch, wait for “OFF” to
go out from the display. Then unplug the power cord.
Precautions concerning use of optical fiber cables
• Fully insert the optical fiber cable plugs all the way into the
jacks.
• Be careful not to fold or crimp the cable. When coiling an
optical fiber cable for storage, make sure the diameter of the
coil is 15 cm or larger.
• Use an optical fiber cable with a length of 3 m or less.
• Protect the optical fiber cable plugs from scratches and dust.
• When the unit is not connected using an optical fiber cable,
be sure to keep the protective dust cap plugged into the
optical digital output jack at all times.
