Additional information

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.

Damaged and shaped discs

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

Cleaning the unit’s exterior

Unplug the unit before cleaning.
Use a dry cloth to wipe off dust and dirt. If the surfaces are very dirty,
wipe with a soft cloth dipped in some neutral cleanser diluted five or
six times with water and wrung out well, then wipe again with a dry
cloth.
Do not use furniture wax or cleaners. Never use thinners, benzine or
insecticide sprays or other chemicals on or near this unit.
If you use a chemical-impregnated cleaning cloth, read the
instructions carefully before use. These cloths may leave smear
marks on half-mirror finish surfaces; if this happens, finish with a
dry cloth.

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. We do not
recommend using commercially available lens cleaners for CD
players.

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. Leave it to adjust to the warmer
temperature for about an hour before switching on.

Moving the player

If you need to move the player, first press STANDBY/ON on the
front panel or remote control to turn the player off. Wait for “-OFF-”
to disappear from the display, then unplug the power cable. Never
lift or move the unit during playback — discs rotate at a high speed
and may be damaged.

Caution for when the unit is installed in a rack with a

glass door

Do not press the OPEN/CLOSE button on the remote control to
open the disc table while the glass door is closed. The door will
hamper movement of the disc table, and the disc table could be
damaged.
