Disc Precautions
Be Careful of Scratches and Dust
BD, DVD and CD discs are sensitive to dust, fingerprints •
and especially scratches. A scratched disc may not be able
to be played back. Handle discs with care and store them
in a safe place.
Proper Disc Storage
Place the disc in the center of the
disc case and store the case and
disc upright.
Avoid storing discs in locations
subject to direct sunlight, close to
heating appliances or in locations of
high humidity.
Do not drop discs or subject them to
strong vibrations or impacts.
Avoid storing discs in locations
where there are large amounts of
dust or moisture.
Handling Precautions
If the surface is soiled, wipe gently with a soft, damp (water •
only) cloth. When wiping discs, always move the cloth from
the center hole toward the outer edge.
Do not use record cleaning sprays, benzene, thinner, static •
electricity prevention liquids or any other solvent.
Do not touch the surface.•
Do not stick paper or adhesive labels to the disc. •
If the playing surface of a disc is soiled or scratched, the •
Player may decide that the disc is incompatible and eject
the disc tray, or it may fail to play the disc correctly.
Cleaning the Pick Up Lens
Never use commercially available cleaning discs. The use •
of these discs can damage the lens.
Request the nearest service center approved by Pioneer to •
clean the lens.
Warnings about dew formation
Condensation may form on pick up lens or disc in the •
following conditions:
Immediately after a heater has been turned on. –
In a steamy or very humid room. –
When the Player is suddenly moved from a cold –
environment to a warm one.
When condensation forms:
It becomes difficult for the Player to read the signals •
on the disc and prevents the Player from operating
properly.
To remove condensation:
Take out the disc and leave the Player with the power •
off until the condensation disappears. Using the Player
when there is condensation may cause malfunction.
