Using RDS (UK model only)
Radio Data System, or RDS as it's usually known, is a system used by FM radio stations to provide listeners with various informationthe name of the station and the kind of show they're broadcasting, for example. This information shows up as text on the display, and you can switch between the kind of information shown. Although you don't get RDS information from all FM radio stations, you do with most. Probably the most useful feature of RDS is that you can search automatically by type of program. So, if you felt like listening to jazz, you could have the MT search for a station that's broadcasting a show with the program type, "JAZZ." There are around 30 such program types, including various genres of music, news, sport, talk shows, financial information, and so on. This unit let's you display three different kinds of RDS information: Radio Text, Program Service Name, and Program Type. Radio Text (RT) is a message sent by the radio station. It can be anything the broadcaster choosesa talk radio station might give out its telephone number as RT, for example. Program Service Name (PS) is the name of the radio station. Program Type (PTY) indicates the kind of program currently being broadcast.

Recording CDs

This feature makes recording a CD as simple as possible by automatically starting and stopping the CD and tape together. There are two modes: 1 track synchro records just a single track, then stops; all tracks synchro records the whole disc.
Load a cassette into the tape deck. In order to follow these instructions more easily, load the cassette with side A facing you. Check the recording direction. If the tape direction indicator shows 3 , then recording will start from side A. If it shows 2 , then recording will start from side B. If you need to change the direction, press TAPE twice, then 7. Set the auto-reverse mode. If you set this to one-way, then recording will stop after reaching the end of the current side. If it's set to endless, then recording will continue onto the other side of the tape. However, if you start recording in the reverse direction, (2) only that side of the tape will be recorded. For detailed instructions on setting the reverse mode, see page 27.
Turn Dolby NR on or off as required. Using Dolby NR improves the sound quality of tape recordings that are going to be played on Dolby NR equipped players. If the tape is not going to be played on a Dolby NR equipped player (or if you're not sure), you should leave Dolby NR off. See page 27 for detailed instructions on switching Dolby NR on/off.
Press CD to switch to the CD. Load the CD you want to record. See page 15 for detailed instructions on loading discs. If the disc has started playing, press 7. If you want to record just one track, select the track using the 4 and buttons. Press 8 (top panel only). The tape deck goes into record-pause mode, waiting for you to start the CD.

Recording other sources

Usually, when recording a CD or MD, the synchro-recording feature is the easiest way to do it. However, if you want to record from the tuner or from a component connected to the auxiliary inputs, you'll need to start and stop the recording manually.
Press CD to start the CD playing. Recording starts automatically with the CD. Once the track or disc has finished, the tape deck goes back into record-pause mode press 7 to fully stop recording. Should you want to stop recording before the track/disc has finished playing, simply press 7 any time during the recording. Note: If the recorder has to switch the side of the tape half way through a track, recording will start again on the other side from the beginning of the same track. This means you don't get a single track spread over two sides of a tape. 1

Setting the wake up timer
Once set, the wake-up timer will remain active (i.e., it will switch on the system every day) until you cancel it (see Cancelling the wake up timer below). You can wake up to the sound of any component in the system, but not a component connected to the auxiliary inputs. To set the wake up timer, you'll need to tell it which component to start playing, what time to start, and also what time to stop.

TIMER CD TUNER AUX

CD-R MD TAPE
Set the system to switch on and start playing at a certain time (for example, at the same time as your alarm clock goes in the morning).

WAKE UP

Set the optional tape deck, MD or CD-Recorder to record from the auxiliary inputs or a radio program at a certain time.
TIMER REC SLEEP TIMER Set the system to switch off at a certain time (for example, half an hour after you go to bed). CLOCK ADJUST Set the clock to the correct time (see page 14). Remember, the timer functions won't work properly unless you've set the clock!

Tip The AUTO setting will not be available if a CD, CD-R or MD is playing in repeat mode (see page 19), or if a tape is playing in endless mode (see page 27). If you select AUTO, then subsequently start playing something in repeat or endless mode, the sleep timer will change automatically to the 90 minute setting.
Remember: switch between timer menu options using the 4 and buttons; select the option by pressing SET. 2 Use 4 and to select TIMER OFF, then press SET. After pressing SET, the timer indicator in the display disappears. To switch the timer back on, repeat step 1, then select TIMER ON in step 2. Tips Although you cant directly edit the wake-up settings once theyre made, if you cancel the wake-up timer then set it again, the previous settings will show up in the display. You can set both the wake-up timer and the record timer independently. However, make sure that the times do not overlap. See page 31 for more on this.

Care information

Handling discs
When holding CDs, take care not to leave fingerprints, dirt or scratches on the disc surface. Hold the disc by its edge or by the center hole and edge. Damaged or dirty discs can affect playback performance. Take care also not to scratch the label side of the disc. Although not as fragile as the recorded side, scratches can still result in a disc becoming unusable.

Discs you should avoid

CDs spin at high speed inside the player during playback. If you can see that a disc is cracked, chipped, warped, or otherwise damaged, don't risk using it in your CD player you could end up damaging the unit. This system is designed for use with conventional, fully circular CDs only. Use of shaped CDs is not recommended. Pioneer disclaims all liability arising in connection with the use of shaped CDs.
Should a disc become marked with fingerprints, dust, etc., clean using a soft, dry cloth, wiping the disc lightly from the center to the outside edge as shown below. If necessary, use a cloth soaked in alcohol, or a commercially available CD cleaning kit to clean a disc more thoroughly. Never use benzine, thinner or other cleaning agents, including products designed for cleaning vinyl records. Wipe lightly from the center of the disc using straight strokes.

Using cassette tapes

The tape of a cassette is quite easily damaged and loose tape can jam in the tape deck mechanism. If the tape has become unwound, use a pen or pencil to wind it back on to the spool.
Dont wipe the disc surface using circular strokes. When not using cassettes, always store in the case. Store cassettes away from magnetic fields, excessive heat, humidity, dust or oil.

Storing discs

Although CDs are more durable than vinyl records, you should still take care to handle and store discs correctly. When you're not using a disc, return it to its case and store upright. Avoid leaving discs in excessively cold, humid, or hot environments (including under direct sunlight). Don't glue paper or put stickers on discs, or write on them using a pencil, ball-point pen or other sharp-tipped writing instrument.
Before recording on a tape, wind the tape on past the leader tape (about the first 3 or 4 seconds of each side).

Tapes you should avoid

Since tapes longer than 90 minutes are so thin, they are more susceptible to jamming in the tape deck mechanism and other trouble such as irregular winding. Avoid using cassette tapes longer than 90 minutes.

Erase protection

You can protect an important recording against accidental erasure by breaking the erase-protect tab(s) with a small screwdriver.

Erase-protect tab

Be careful: Some cassette head cleaners are not designed to work with auto-reverse decks and may become jammed in the mechanism ask your Pioneer authorized service centre for details. After using the head cleaner, leave the unit for 23 minutes before playing a tape. This will give any excess cleaning fluid a chance to dry.
Demagnetizing the tape head
The recording/playback head in the tape deck gradually becomes magnetized after long periods of use. Playback and recording quality will suffer as a result, with a lack of treble and increased noise. To avoid the problem, we recommend using a head demagnetizer at regular intervals. These are available from any good audio dealer. When using a head demagnetizer, be sure to turn the volume right down and unplug any headphones to avoid damaging the unit or the speakers. For further details, refer to the instructions that came with the head demagnetizer.
If you want to re-record on an erase-protected cassette, cover the space left by the broken tab with self-adhesive tape.

Tape-type hole

Note: If you're using Type II (High/CrO2) tapes, make sure you don't also cover the tape-type detection holes.
Magnetic shielding of speakers
The satellite speakers are magnetically shielded. This means that they can safely be placed near a TV or monitor without distorting the picture. The subwoofer is not magnetically shielded. If it is placed very near a TV or monitor, you may see color distortion in the picture. Switch off the TV for about 30 minutes and move the subwoofer further away from the television to solve the problem.
Cleaning external surfaces
To clean this unit, wipe with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, wet a soft cloth with a mild detergent solution made by diluting one part detergent to 5 or 6 parts water, wring well, then wipe off the dirt. Use a dry cloth to wipe the surface dry. Do not use volatile liquids such as benzene and thinner which may damage the surfaces.

Moving the unit

If you need to move the unit, first switch it off and unplug from the wall outlet. Avoid lifting or moving the unit during playback or recording.
Removing/replacing the satellite speaker grilles
You can use the satellite speakers with or without the grilles. To remove: Gently pull the bottom half of the grille away from the speaker. Pull away the top half to completely remove the grille. To put back on: Line up the grille with the holes in each corner of the speaker Push the grille back on.

CD lens cleaner

The CD pickup lens should not become dirty in normal use, but if for some reason it should malfunction due to dirt or dust, consult your nearest Pioneer authorized service center. Although lens cleaners for CD players are commercially available, we do not recommend using them since some may damage the lens.

Tape head cleaner

To maintain the recording/playback quality of the tape deck, use a commercially available wet-type cassette head cleaner. Avoid using dry-type cassette head cleaners.
Switching the door open sensor on/off
The door open sensor on the front of the CD tuner has two operating modes, as well as an off setting. Switch the unit into standby. Press SYSTEM MENU and select SENSOR MODE.
Switching the auxiliary attenuator on/off
Depending on the component that you connect to the auxiliary inputs, its possible that the signal level will be too high for this system to play properly without the sound distorting. If you notice distortion when listening to the auxiliary component, try switching the attenuator on. Switch the unit into standby. Press SYSTEM MENU and select AUX ATT.
Remember: switch between menu options using 4 and ; select the option by pressing SET. 3 Use 4 or to select MODE 1, MODE 2 or OFF as required. SNSR MODE 1 (default) the door will open automatically, even if a disc is currently playing. SNSR MODE 2 the door will only open automatically if no disc is playing. SNSR OFF switches off the automatic door feature 4 Press SET. The system goes back into standby. Remember: switch between menu options using 4 and ; select the option by pressing SET. 3 Use 4 or to select ATT ON or ATT OFF as required. The default setting is ATT OFF (attenuate off). Press SET. The system goes back into standby. If you selected ATT ON, the level of the input signal is reduced to prevent distortion.
Switching the open/close beep on/off
By default, when you press OPEN/CLOSE to open or close the disc compartment, youll hear a beep. If you would prefer not to, heres how to switch it off: Switch the unit into standby. Press SYSTEM MENU and select BEEP MODE. 1
Setting the display brightness
You can adjust the brightness of the display to suit the lighting conditions of the room. For example, in a brightly lit room you'd probably want the display brighter than in a room with low lighting. Press SYSTEM MENU and select DIMMER SEL.
