Setting the TV system

If the picture of the disc being played is distorted, switch the TV system to the one used in your country or region. When the TV system is switched, the types of discs that can be played are limited. The factory default setting is AUTO.

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.
Use the buttons on the players front panel. The power turns on and the TV system switches as shown below. AUTONTSC NTSCPAL PALAUTO Types of discs/files Format

NTSC PAL

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.

NTSC or PAL
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 players 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 players power is on. If this happens, turn the players 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 players 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.
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.

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 labels glue may have oozed out.
