Before You Start

Hints on Installation

We want you to enjoy using the PDR–509 for years to come, so please bear in mind the following points when choosing a suitable location for it:

✔DO...

❖ Use in a well-ventilated room.

❖ Place on a solid, flat, level surface, such as a table, shelf or stereo rack.

Avoiding condensation problems

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 tempo- rarily impair its performance. For this reason you should leave it to adjust to the warmer temperature for about an hour before switching on and using.

Maintaining Your CD Recorder

Getting Set Up

Cleaning external surfaces

To clean the compact disc recorder, 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.

CD lens cleaner

The compact disc recorder's 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 compact disc recorders are commercially available, we do not recommend using them since some may damage the lens.

Moving the unit

If you need to move the unit, first switch it off and unplug from the wall outlet. Never lift or move the unit during playback or recording—the disc rotates at a high speed and may be damaged.

POWER-CORD CAUTION

Handle the power cord by the plug. Do not pull out the plug by tugging the cord and never touch the power cord when your hands are wet as this could cause a short circuit or electric shock. Do not place the unit, a piece of furniture, etc., on the power cord, or pinch the cord. Never make a knot in the cord or tie it with other cords. The power cords should be routed such that they are not likely to be stepped on. A damaged power cord can cause fire or give you an electrical shock. Check the power cord once in a while. When you find it damaged, ask your nearest PIONEER authorized service center or your dealer for a replacement.

Storing Optical Cable

When storing optical cable, coil loosly as shown below. The cable may be damaged if bent around sharp corners.
