Cautions on use
About condensation
Water droplets (condensation) may form inside the unit (on operating
parts and lenses) in the winter, for example, if the unit is moved from a
cold place into a warm room or if the temperature in the room in which
the unit is installed rises suddenly (through heating, etc.). The unit will
not operate properly and will not be playable with condensation inside.
Let the unit stand for 1 to 2 hours at room temperature (though this
time depends on the conditions of the condensation) without turning on
the power. The water droplets will evaporate and the unit will become
playable. Condensation can occur in the summer as well if the unit is
exposed to the direct wind from an air-conditioner, etc. If this happens,
move the unit to a different location.
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.
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
Irregularly shaped discs other than standard 12 cm discs cannot be
played on this unit (doing so will lead to damage or accidents).
Specially shaped discs (heart-shaped, hexagonal, etc.) cannot be played
on this unit. Do not attempt to play such discs, as they could damage
the unit.
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.
