If the AC plug of this unit does not match the AC outlet you want to use, the plug must be removed and appropriate one fitted. Replacement and mounting of an AC plug on the power supply cord of this unit should be performed only by qualified service personnel. If connected to an AC outlet, the cut-off plug can cause severe electrical shock. Make sure it is properly disposed of after removal.

POWER-CORD CAUTION

Handle the power cord by the plug. Do not pull out the plug by tugging the cord and never touch the power cord when your hands are wet as this could cause a short circuit or electric shock. Do not place the unit, a piece of furniture, etc., on the power cord, or pinch the cord. Never make a knot in the cord or tie it with other cords. The power cords should be routed such that they are not likely to be stepped on. A damaged power cord can cause a fire or give you an electrical shock. Check the power cord once in a while. When you find it damaged, ask your nearest PIONEER authorized service center or your dealer for a replacement. S002*En

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.
• The player may not operate properly due to static electricity or other external influences. In such cases, normal operation may be restored by unplugging the power cord then plugging it back in.

General problems

Problem	Check	Remedy
Settings you have made have been cleared.	Was the power cord unplugged forcibly while the player's power was on?	The settings may be cleared if the power cord is unplugged or if there is a power failure while the player's power is on. Be sure to press STANDBY/ON on the player's front panel or press STANDBY/ON on the remote control and wait for the - OFF - indicator on the front panel display to turn off before unplugging the power cord. Be particularly careful when the player's power cord is plugged into the AC outlet of another component, since the supply of power to the player turns off together with the power supply of the other component. We recommend plugging the power cord directly into a wall outlet, etc., whenever possible.
Difference in volume between DVDs and CDs.	This is not a problem with the player.	The volume may sound different due to differences in how the signals are recorded on the disc.
Player cannot be operated with the remote control.	Are you operating from far away?	Operate from within a distance of 7 meters from the remote control sensor.
	Is the remote control sensor exposed to direct sunlight or strong artificial light from a fluorescent bulb, etc.?	The remote control signals may not be received properly if the remote control sensor is exposed to direct sunlight or strong artificial light from a fluorescent bulb, etc.
	Are the batteries dead?	Replace the batteries (page 5).

Cautions on use

When moving the player

When moving the player, check first that there is no disc loaded and that the disc tray is closed. Then press STANDBY/ON on the player (or STANDBY/ON on the remote control), wait for the - OFF - indicator on the front panel display to turn off, then unplug the power cord. Moving the player with a disc inside it could result in damage.

Place of installation

• Choose a stable place near the TV or stereo system being used with the player.
• Do not place the player on top of a TV or color monitor. Also install it away from cassette decks and other devices easily affected by magnetic forces.

Avoid the following types of places:

Places exposed to direct sunlight
- Humid or poorly ventilated places
- Extremely hot places
Places exposed to vibrations
Dusty places
- Places exposed to soot, steam or heat (kitchen, etc.)

Do not place objects on the player.

Do not place any objects on top of the player.

Do not obstruct the ventilation holes.

Do not use the player on shaggy rugs, beds, sofas, etc., or wrapped in cloth, etc. Doing so will prevent the heat from dispersing, leading to damage.

Do not expose to heat.

Do not place the player on top of an amplifier or other component that generates heat. When placing it in a rack, to avoid the heat given off by the amplifier or other audio component, place it on a shelf below the amplifier.

Turn off the player's power when not using it.

Depending on signal conditions, striped patterns may appear on a TV screen and noise may enter the sound of radio broadcasts when the player's power is on. If this happens, turn the player's power off.

About condensation

If the player is moved suddenly from a cold place into a warm room (in winter, for example) or if the temperature in the room in which the player is installed rises suddenly due to a heater, etc., water droplets (condensation) may form inside (on operating parts and the lens). When condensation is present, the player will not operate properly and playback is not possible. Let the player 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 the player is exposed to the direct wind from an air-conditioner. If this happens, move the player to a different place.

Cleaning the product

• Unplug the power cord from the power outlet when cleaning the player.
• Clean the player 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 the player for long periods of time could mar the cabinet.
• When using chemical-impregnated wipes, etc., read the cautions included with the wipes carefully.

Caution for when the unit is installed in a rack with a glass door

Do not press 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.

Cleaning the 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. Although lens cleaners for players are commercially available, we advise against using them since some may damage the lens.

About copyrights

This product incorporates copyright protection technology that is protected by method claims of certain U.S. patents and other intellectual property rights owned by Macrovision Corporation and other rights owners. Use of this copyright protection technology must be authorized by Macrovision Corporation, and is intended for home and other limited viewing uses only unless otherwise authorized by Macrovision Corporation. Reverse engineering or disassembly is prohibited.

Handling discs

Storing

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.

• 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 place two discs in the disc tray, one on top of the other.
• Do not attach pieces of paper or stickers to discs. Doing so could warp discs, making it impossible to play them. Also note that rental discs often have labels attached to them, and the label's glue may have oozed out. Check that there is no glue around the edges of such labels before using rented discs.

About specially shaped discs

Specially shaped discs (heart-shaped, hexagonal, etc.) cannot be played on this player. Do not attempt to play such discs, as they could damage the player.

About condensation on discs

Water droplets (condensation) may form on the surface of discs if they are moved from a cold place (particularly in winter) into a warm room. Discs may not play normally if there is condensation on them. Carefully wipe the water droplets off the surface of the disc before loading it.
