• Always place discs in their cases and store them vertically, avoiding hot, humid places, places exposed to direct sunlight and extremely cold places.
• Be sure to read the cautions included with the disc. Cleaning discs
• Discs may not play if there are fingerprints or dust on them. In this case, use a cleaning cloth, etc., to gently wipe the disc from the inside towards the outside. Do not use dirty cleaning cloths. About condensation If this unit is moved suddenly from a cold place into a warm room (in winter, for example) or if the temperature in the room in which this unit is installed rises suddenly due to heater operation, etc., water droplets (condensation) may form inside (on operating parts and the lens). When condensation is present, this unit will not operate properly and playback is not possible. Let this unit stand at room temperature for 1 or 2 hours with the power turned on (the time depends on the extent of condensation). The water droplets will dissipate and playback will become possible. Condensation can also occur in the summer if this unit is directly exposed to the air flow from an air-conditioner. If this happens, move this unit to a different place. Cleaning the product
• Unplug the power cord from the power outlet when cleaning this unit.
• Clean this unit using a soft cloth. For tough dirt, apply some neutral detergent diluted in 5 to 6 parts water to a soft cloth, wring out thoroughly, wipe off the dirt, then wipe again with a soft, dry cloth.
• Alcohol, thinner, benzene, insecticides, etc., could cause the print or paint to peel off. Also, leaving rubber or vinyl products in contact with this unit for long periods of time could mar the cabinet.
• When using chemical-impregnated wipes, etc., read the cautions included with the wipes carefully. Cleaning the lens
• This unit’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. Although lens cleaners for players are commercially available, we advise against using them since some may damage the lens.

• Do not use benzene, thinner or other volatile chemicals. Also do not use record spray or antistatic agents.
• For tough dirt, apply some water to a soft cloth, wring out thoroughly, wipe off the dirt, then wipe off the moisture with a dry cloth.
• Do not use damaged (cracked or warped) discs.
• Do not let the signal surface of discs get scratched or dirty.
• Do not attach pieces of paper or stickers to discs. Doing so could warp discs, making it impossible to play them.
