Pioneer HTZ-55DV manual Disc lens cleaner, Storing discs, Discs to avoid

Taking care of your system

To clean this unit, 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. Use a dry cloth to wipe the surface dry.

Do not use volatile liquids such as benzene and thinner which may damage the surfaces.

Disc lens cleaner

The disc pickup lens should not become dirty in normal use, but if for some reason it should malfunction due to dirt or dust, consult your nearest Pioneer authorized service center. Although lens cleaners for CD players are commercially available, we do not recommend using them since some may damage the lens.

Taking care of your discs

When holding discs, 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 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 unusable.

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 on the right. If necessary, use a cloth soaked in alcohol, or a commercially available CD or DVD cleaning kit to clean a disc more thoroughly. Never use benzine, thinner or other cleaning agents, including products designed for cleaning vinyl records.

13 Additional Information

¥Wipe lightly from the center of the disc using straight strokes.

¥DonÕt wipe the disc surface using circular strokes.

Storing discs

Although CDs and DVDs are more durable than vinyl records, you should still take care to handle and store discs correctly. 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 discs, or write on them using a pencil, ball-point pen or other sharp-tipped writing instrument.

Discs to avoid

Discs spin at high speed during playback. If you can see that a disc is cracked, chipped, warped, or otherwise damaged, don't risk using it— you could end up damaging the system.

This system is designed for use with conventional, fully circular discs only. Use of shaped discs is not recommended. Pioneer disclaims all liability arising in connection with the use of shaped CDs and DVDs.
