Frequently Asked Questions - PD-D9-J PIONEER

How to connect the player to an amplifier?

Use the analog LINE OUT jacks for the main audio connection. For a digital connection, connect the OPTICAL or COAXIAL output to the corresponding input on the amplifier. Note that SACD signals are only available via analog outputs.

Why is the disc not playing or ejected immediately?

Check that the disc is clean, not damaged, and compatible (CD, SACD, CD-R/RW, MP3, WMA). Make sure it is placed with the printed side up. In case of condensation, wait about an hour before using.

How to use the Pure Audio mode?

Press the PURE AUDIO button on the remote control or the front panel. This disables the display and digital outputs for optimal analog signal listening. The PURE AUDIO indicator lights up when the mode is active.

What to do if the remote control does not work?

Check the distance (max. 7 m) and angle (30°). Make sure the sensor is not exposed to intense light. Replace the lithium battery (CR2025) if the range decreases. Also check that the POWER button on the unit is in the ON position.

What types of discs can be played?

This player plays audio CDs, SACDs (Super Audio CD), CD-R/RW (CD audio format, MP3, WMA) and data CDs. DualDiscs may not be playable on the non-DVD audio side. Refer to the compatibility table for details.

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.

- Low jitter clock

This unit provides extremely stable, low jitter clock streams through the use of an integrated circuit with a high performance oscillator.

• 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 Wolfson 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

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.

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.

This player

3 Continue the chain in the same way for as many components as you have.

Plugging in

Make sure to complete all connections before connecting to an AC outlet.

- Connect the AC power cord to the AC IN inlet on the rear panel of the player, then plug into a power outlet.

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 four circular objects with a central circle containing a crossed-out arrow (no text or labels)

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 with a cloth, showing motion arrows (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 ⏻ 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.

Troubleshooting

Incorrect operation is often mistaken for trouble or malfunction. If you think that there is something wrong with this component, check the points below. Sometimes the trouble may lie in another component. Inspect the other components and electrical appliances being used. If the trouble cannot be rectified after checking the items below, ask your nearest Pioneer authorized service center or your dealer to carry out repair work.

Problem	Remedy
The disc won’t play or is automatically ejected after loading.	Make sure the disc is free from dirt and dust and is not damaged (page 15).CheckDisc/content format playback compatibility on page 7 to confirm that the disc is compatible with this player.Make sure the disc is loaded with the label side face-up and aligned properly in the disc tray guide.Condensation inside the player: Allow time for condensation to evaporate. Avoid using the player near an air-conditioning unit.
The remote control doesn’t seem to work.	The remote control is too far from the player, or the angle with the remote sensor is too wide: Use the remote within its operating range (page 11).If you’re trying to switch on using the remote control, make sure the front panelPOWERbutton is switched on first.The battery is exhausted: Replace the lithium battery (page 6).
No audio, or audio is distorted.	Check that the disc is not damaged, and free from dust and dirt (page 15).Check that all interconnects are firmly inserted.Check that the plugs and terminals are free of dirt, oxide, etc. and clean if necessary. Also check the cable for damage.Make sure the player’s output is not connected to the amplifier’s phono (turntable) inputs.Check your amplifier/receiver’s settings (volume, input function, speaker settings, etc.).
The analog audio is OK, but there appears to be no digital audio signal.	Make sure that Pure Audio feature is switched off (page 14).SACDs do not output digital audio. The signal is heard through the player’s analog audio outputs.
Noticeable difference in SACD and CD volume.	This is due to differences in the audio format and is not a malfunction.
Cannot play multichannel audio.	This player is not compatible with multichannel audio.
Settings are erased.	If you have switched the unit off (using the front panelPOWERbutton) for more than 30 days, all settings will be erased.

Note

- Static electricity or other external influences may cause malfunctioning of this unit. In this case, unplug the power cord and then plug back in. This will usually reset the unit for proper operation. If this does not correct the problem, please consult your nearest Pioneer service center.
