SAFETY INFORMATION

This service manual is intended for qualified service technicians; it is not meant for the casual do-it-yourselfer. Qualified technicians have the necessary test equipment and tools, and have been trained to properly and safely repair complex products such as those covered by this manual. Improperly performed repairs can adversely affect the safety and reliability of the product and may void the warranty. If you are not qualified to perform the repair of this product properly and safely, you should not risk trying to do so and refer the repair to a qualified service technician.
WARNING This product contains lead in solder and certain electrical parts contain chemicals which are known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Health & Safety Code Section 25249.6 Proposition 65
NOTICE Fuse symbols (fast operating fuse) and/or (slow operating fuse) on PCB indicate that replacement parts must be of identical designation. REMARQUE Les symboles de fusible (fusible de type rapide) et/ou (fusible de type lent) sur CCI indiquent que les pices de remplacement doivent avoir la mme dsignation.
(FOR USA MODEL ONLY) 1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The following check should be performed for the continued protection of the customer and service technician.

LEAKAGE CURRENT CHECK

Measure leakage current to a known earth ground (water pipe, conduit, etc.) by connecting a leakage current tester such as Simpson Model 229-2 or equivalent between the earth ground and all exposed metal parts of the appliance (input/output terminals, screwheads, metal overlays, control shaft, etc.). Plug the AC line cord of the appliance directly into a 120V AC 60 Hz outlet and turn the AC power switch on. Any current measured must not exceed 0.5 mA.
ANY MEASUREMENTS NOT WITHIN THE LIMITS OUTLINED ABOVE ARE INDICATIVE OF A POTENTIAL SHOCK HAZARD AND MUST BE CORRECTED BEFORE RETURNING THE APPLIANCE TO THE CUSTOMER. 2. PRODUCT SAFETY NOTICE
Many electrical and mechanical parts in the appliance have special safety related character istics. These are often not evident from visual inspection nor the protection afforded by them necessarily can be obtained by using replacement components rated for voltage, wattage, etc. Replacement parts which have these special safety characteristics are identified in this Service Manual. Electrical components having such features are identified by marking with a on the schematics and on the parts list in this Service Manual. The use of a substitute replacement component which does not have the same safety characteristics as the PIONEER recommended replacement one, shown in the parts list in this Service Manual, may create shock, fire, or other hazards. Product Safety is continuously under review and new instructions are issued from time to time. For the latest information, always consult the current PIONEER Service Manual. A subscription to, or additional copies of, PIONEER Service Manual may be obtained at a nominal charge from PIONEER.

LABEL CHECK

DRW2194

Additional Laser Caution

1. The ON/OFF(ON:low level,OFF:high level) status of the CLAMP signals for detecting the loading state are detected by the drive CPUs, and the design prevents laser diode oscillation when the CLAMP signal turns OFF. In normal operation, if no disc is clamped, the laser diode oscillation is disabled. However, the interlock does not always operate in the test mode. 2. When the cover is opened, close viewing of the objective lens with the naked eye will cause exposure to a Class 3A laser beam.
[Important Check Points for Good Servicing]
In this manual, procedures that must be performed during repairs are marked with the below symbol. Please be sure to confirm and follow these procedures.

1. Product safety

Editing the disc

This section explains how to edit the recorded contents on DVD-RWs. However, the items that you can edit vary with the recording formats. In VR mode, you can edit various title menus, whereas in Video mode, you can edit only a few items. Title menu For the disc in VR mode, when the content is recorded, a title name that includes the date, time, channel number and other information is created automatically. For the disc in Video mode, when you record a content first time on the disc where nothing is recorded, the recorded content is automatically set to Title 1. Then, the second recorded content is set to Title 2, and so on. Therefore, the title is numbered according to the recording order. The maximum number of titles per disc is 99. The title menu lists these titles. The title menu can be used when you playback after confirming the contents (see page 34), or when you check the contents recorded on the disc. Original title The titles explained above are called original titles; these will be added with every recording. In VR mode you can do various editing operations renaming titles, adding chapter marks, etc. In addition, you can erase the unnecessary titles to increase the disc space. Playlist You can create a playlist based on the original titles. You can combine or erase undesired scenes. If you create a playlist it will become the primary list used by the disc. If you create a playlist to customize your viewing preferences, and choose to delete it, the original titles will not be affected. It is recommended to create and edit the playlist to prevent important titles from being erased accidentally. If you create a playlist, both the original title and playlist will be displayed on the title menu. Editable items The items that can be edited are different between original title and playlist. For the disc in Video mode, only the title name can be edited. The items can be edited in each are as follows: VR mode Original Playlist Y Y Y Y Y Y Y N Y N N Y Y Y N Y Video mode Original Y N N N N Y N N
