Using and taking care of discs

AII DVD Video discs carry a region mark that indicates which region(s) of the world the disc is compatible with. Your DVD system also has a region mark (on the rear panel). Discs from incompatible regions will not play in this player. Discs marked ALL play in any player.

Hold the disc by its edges when handling so as not to leave fingerprints, dirt or scratches on either side of the disc. Damaged or dirty discs can affect playback performance.

If a disc becomes marked with fingerprints dust, etc., clean using a soft, dry cloth

Wipe lightly from the center of the disc using straight strokes. Don't wipe the disc surface with circular strokes.

Hnecessary, 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 such as those designed for cleaning vinyl records

Avoid leaving discs in excessively cold, humid, or hot environments (including under direct sunlight}. Don‘ glue paper or put stickers onto the disc, or use a pencil, ball-point pen or other sharp-tipped writing instrument. These could all damage the disc

Discs spin at high speed inside the player. lf a disc is cracked, chipped, warped, or otherwise damaged, dont risk using it in your player— you could end up damaging the unit.

This unit is designed for use with conventional fully circular discs only. Pioneer disclaims all liability arising in connection with the use of shaped discs

Installation and maintenance

Hints on installation We want you to enjoy using this system for years to come, so please bear in mind the following points when choosing a location: Do... J Use in a wellventilated room Y Place on a solid, flat, level surface, such as a table, shelf or stereo rack.

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

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

Use in an excessively dusty or damp environment

Place directiy 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 wihere the system 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 system unit

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

Cleaning the pickup lens

The DVD 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. Although lens cleaners are commercially available, we do not recommend using them since some may damage the lens.

Problems with condensation Condensation may form inside the player ifitis 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 performance. Leave it to adjust to the warmer temperature for about an hour before switching on.

Moving the system unit
