Taking care of your player and discs

General

Hold discs by the edge or by the center hole and edge.

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 on to discs. Do not use a pencil, ball-point pen or other sharp- tipped writing instrument to write on the disc.

Don’t use self-adhesive disc labels on discs as these can cause the disc to warp slightly during playback causing distortion in the picture and/or sound.

This player is designed to be used only with conventional, fully circular discs. Do not use shaped discs. Pioneer disclaims all liability arising in connection with the use of shaped discs.

Cleaning discs

Fingerprints and dust on discs can affect playback performance. Clean using a soft, dry cloth, wiping the disc lightly from the center to the outside edge as shown 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.

Damaged and shaped discs

Do not use cracked, chipped, warped, or otherwise damaged discs as they may damage the player.
