Chapter 1 Before you start

Features

• Quick response power supply circuit

The superior power supply circuit adopted by this unit achieves vastly improved response by employing ‘no feedback’ circuitry and low impedance parallel main capacitors characteristically used in professional audio monitoring.

• High-precision low-jitter master clock

For more accurate digital transmission, the crystal oscillator used is the same type found in commercial communications devices demanding high-precision time-keeping.

• Legato Link Conversion Pro and Hi-Bit

Pioneer's unique Legato Link Conversion system restores high-frequency dynamics lost in the digital recording process, to fully reproduce all the shading and detail of the original musical performance. This results in a minimum amount of phase shift across the entire hearable audio spectrum.

• Twin D/A converter 192 kHz/24-bit

The on-board Twin Burr Brown 192 kHz/24-bit DAC means that this player is fully capable of delivering exceptional sound quality in terms of dynamic range, low-level resolution and high-frequency detail.

• Pure Audio listening

The Pure Audio feature allows you to listen to analog audio sources with the digital outputs disabled, and the front panel display switched off.

• Fine-tuned to world-class standards

With the cooperation of the world-class studio engineers at AIR Studios, this player has been AIR Studios certified.

Connecting up

Connecting to an amplifier

You can connect this player to your amplifier or receiver using the analog outputs or one of the digital outputs.

If you connect using one of the digital outputs, you should also connect the 2 channel analog outputs for compatibility with all discs.

1 Connect the analog LINE OUT jacks on this player to a set of analog audio inputs on your amplifier.

Amplifier or receiver

To digital input (coaxial) To digital input (optical) To audio input (analog) DIGITAL OUT COXIAL OPTICAL LINE OUT CONTROL

This player

2 Connect one of the digital outputs to the corresponding digital input on your amplifier.

For an optical connection, use an optical cable (not supplied) to connect the OPTICAL

DIGITAL OUT jack to an optical input on your amplifier.

For a coaxial connection, use a coaxial cable (not supplied) to connect the COAXIAL DIGITAL OUT jack to a coaxial input on your amplifier.

- Note that SACD audio is not output through these jacks, so this connection should be in addition to, rather than instead of, an analog connection.

Using the remote sensor of another Pioneer component

Many Pioneer components have SR CONTROL jacks which can be used to link components together. This allows you to use the remote sensor of just one component, which is useful if you want to put several components out of view (for example, in a closed shelf space). When you use a remote control, the control signal is passed along the chain to the appropriate component. ^1

- Note that if you use this feature, make sure that you also have at least one set of analog audio jacks connected to another component for grounding purposes.

1 Decide which component you want to use the remote sensor of.

When you want to control any component in the chain, this is the remote sensor at which you'll point the corresponding remote control.

Note

1 If you have connected a remote control to the CONTROL IN jack (using a mini-plug cable), you won't be able to control this unit using the remote sensor.

2 Connect the CONTROL OUT jack of that component to the CONTROL IN jack of another Pioneer component.

Use a cable with a mono mini-plug on each end for the connection.

Hints on installation

We want you to enjoy using this product for years to come, so please use the following guidelines when choosing a suitable location:

Do...

• Use in a well-ventilated room.
• Place on a solid, flat, level surface, such as a table, shelf or stereo rack.

Don't...

- Use in a place exposed to high temperatures or humidity, including near radiators and other heat-generating appliances.

- Place on a window sill or a place where the player will be exposed to direct sunlight.

- Use in an excessively dusty or damp environment.

- Place directly on top of an amplifier, or other component in your stereo system that becomes hot in use.

- Use near a television or monitor as you may experience interference — especially if the television uses an indoor antenna.

- Use in a kitchen or other room where the player may be exposed to smoke or steam.

- Use on a thick rug or carpet, or cover with cloth — this may prevent proper cooling of the unit.

- Place on an unstable surface, or one that is not large enough to support all four of the unit's feet.

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 sound.

Damaged and shaped discs

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

Symbolic illustration of a crossed-out circle with a diagonal line and circular elements, no text or labels present.

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.

Illustration of hands holding a CD or DVD disc with arrows indicating motion (no text or symbols)

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 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 switch the unit into standby (press CD PLAYER ⏻ on the remote), 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 on the remote control to open the disc tray while the glass door is closed. The door will hamper the movement of the disc tray, and the unit could be damaged.
