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 record- ing 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 unus- able.
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, in- cluding products designed for clean-
ing 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, re- turn it to its case and store upright. Avoid leaving discs in excessively cold, humid, or hot environments (includ- ing under direct sunlight).
Don't glue paper or put stickers onto the disc, or use a pencil,
pen or other
the disc.
For more detailed care information see the instructions that come with discs.
Do not load more than one disc into the recorder.
Damaged discs Discs spin at high speed inside the recorder. If you can see that a
disc is cracked, chipped, warped, or otherwise damaged, don't risk using it; you could end up dam- aging the recorder.
This recorder is designed for use with conventional, fully circular discs only. Use of shaped discs is not recom- mended for this product. Pioneer disclaims all liability arising in connection with the use of shaped discs.
Cleaning the pickup lens
The DVD recorder's lens should not become dirty in normal use, but if for some reason it should malfunc- tion due to dust or dirt, consult your nearest Pioneer- authorized service center. Although lens cleaners for CD players are commercially available, we do not rec-
88ommend using them since some may damage the lens.
