Troubleshooting
Incorrect operation is often mistaken for trouble or malfunction. If you think that there is
something wrong with this component, check the points below. Sometimes the trouble may
lie in another component. Inspect the other components and electrical appliances being
used. If the trouble cannot be rectified after checking the items below, ask your nearest
Pioneer authorized service center or your dealer to carry out repair work.
The player may not operate properly due to static electricity or other external influences. In
such cases, normal operation may be restored by unplugging the power cord then plugging
it back in.

Settings you have made have

Was the power cord unplugged
forcibly while the player’s power
was on?
The settings may be cleared if the power
cord is unplugged or if there is a power fail-

off before unplugging the power cord. Be
particularly careful when the player’s power
cord is plugged into the AC outlet of another
component, since the supply of power to the
player turns off together with the power sup-
ply of the other component. We recommend
plugging the power cord directly into a wall
outlet, etc., whenever possible.

Cautions on use
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.
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.
The factory default setting is AUTO.

Turn off the player’s power
when not using it.
Depending on signal conditions, striped pat-
terns may appear on a TV screen and noise
may enter the sound of radio broadcasts
when the player’s power is on. If this hap-
pens, turn the player’s power off.
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.
About condensation
If the player is moved suddenly from a
Cleaning the lens
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 (conden-
sation) may form inside (on operating parts
and the lens). When condensation is pres-
ent, 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 pos-
sible. 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.
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 com-
mercially available, we advise against using
them since some may damage the lens.

lectual property rights owned by Macrovision

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.
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.
When using chemical-impregnated
wipes, etc., read the cautions included
with the wipes carefully.

Cleaning discs
About condensation on discs
Discs may not play if there are finger-
prints 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.
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.
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 stick-
ers 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
Specially shaped discs (heart-shaped, hexag-
onal, etc.) cannot be played on this player. Do
not attempt to play such discs, as they could
damage the player.
