OPERATIONS

BEFORE

OPERATING

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 (5-15/16 in.) or larger.

• Use an optical fiber cable with a length of 3 m (10 ft.) 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.

Precautions regarding installation

• Placing and using the compact disc player for long periods on

heat-generating sources such as amplifiers will affect perfor-

mance. Avoid placing the player on heat-generating sources.

• Install this compact disc player as far as possible from tuners

and TV sets. A compact disc player installed in close proximity

to such equipment may cause noise or degrada-

tion of the picture.

• Such noise may be particularly noticeable when

an indoor antenna is used. In such cases, make

use of an outdoor antenna, or turn off power to

the compact disc player.

• Please place this unit on a level surface.

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 conven-

tional 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 tempera-

tures. 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.

With this player, use discs which display these

marks shown below. (Optical audio digital discs.)
