Safety instructions

To ensure your personal safety and to maximize the full operating potential of your unit, read and follow these safety instructions.

Read & Retain Instructions - Read all operating and user information provided with this drive.

Cleaning - Use a damp cloth to clean the exterior housing. Avoid using any fluids including liquid, aerosol or alcohol-based cleaning products.

Water or Moisture - Avoid operating or locating this drive near water or other sources of fluid.

Accessories - Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand, or table. The product may fall and be seriously damaged.

Ventilation - Slots and openings in the chassis are for cooling and proper operation of the unit. Do NOT block or cover the openings. Do NOT place this unit on a bed, rug, etc. as this can block the openings. This unit should not be placed in a built-in installation unless properly ventilated.

Operation - Avoid moving, lifting or reorienting this drive while a disc is rotating inside.

Environment - Avoid installing this drive in a location with exposure to large quantities of dust, high temperatures, high humidity, or subject to excessive vibrations or shocks.

Power Sources - Operate this drive only from the recommended power sources. If you are unsure of the power source, consult an authorized Pioneer representative.

Power-Cord Protection - When unplugging the unit, pull on the plug - not on the cord. Do not handle the cord or plug with wet hands; doing so could cause an electric short or shock. Do not allow anything to pinch or rest on the power cord and do not place in a walkway.

Object & Liquid Entry - Never push inappropriate objects into the device. Avoid spilling any liquids into or on the outside of the drive.

Condensation - Moisture can form in the operating section of the product if the drive is taken from cool surroundings to a room with a warmer temperature. Let the drive stand for one to two hours in the new location before turning it ON.

Servicing - Opening or removing the cover exposes you to possible electrical shock or other danger. Contact a Pioneer authorized service representative for repairing this drive (refer to the enclosed Service & Support Card).

Damage Requiring Service – Unplug the unit and refer servicing to qualified service personnel in the following situations:

• When the power cord, plug, or chassis is damaged.
  If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the video product.
• If the product has been exposed to rain or water.
• If the product does not operate normally when the operating instructions are followed. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions. Improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and can require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the unit to its normal operation.
• When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance – this indicates a need for service.

About DualDisc Playback - DualDisc is a two-sided disc with one side containing DVD video/audio/etc. content and the opposite side containing non-DVD content such as digital audio material. The non-DVD audio side is not compliant with the CD Audio Specification; therefore, may not play. The DVD side of DualDisc media plays in this unit. For more details about the DualDisc specification, please refer to the disc manufacturer or your retailer.

• Avoid touching or scratching the signal surface (shiny side) of the disc.
• Hold the disc by the edges or by the center hold and one edge.
• Do not affix paper or labels to the disc.
• Discard warped or cracked discs as they may cause damage to the drive.
• Avoid specially shaped discs such as hearts or polygons.
• Remove dust or lint from the disc with a soft cloth by wiping from the inside to the outside edge rather than in a circular motion.
• Do not use record-cleaning or anti-static agents as the solutions may cause damage to a disc.

Always be sure to store your discs in proper disc storage cases when not in use, and always be sure to check for dirt or dust on discs (especially on the recording side) before use.

Note

Some discs may not be playable due to different recording formats or the physical condition of the disc at the time of recording or playback.
