•Do not allow books or other objects to rest on top of the remote control unit, since the buttons may be depressed, causing faster exhaustion of the batteries.

Incorrect use of batteries may cause leakage or rupture. Always be sure to follow these guidelines:

A.Always insert batteries into the battery compartment correctly matching the positive ªand negative ·polarities, as shown by the display inside the compartment.

B.Never mix new and used batteries.

C.Batteries of the same size may have different voltages, depending on brand. Do not mix different brands of batteries.

CAUTIONS REGARDING HANDLING

Precautions regarding installation

•Placing and using the compact disc player for long periods on heat-generating sources such as amplifiers will affect performance. Avoid placing the player on heat-generating sources.

•Install this compact disc player as far as possible from tuners and TV sets. A compact disc player installed in close proximity to such equipment may cause noise or degrada-

tion of the picture.

•Such noise may be particularly noticeable when

an indoor antenna is used. In such cases, make use of an outdoor antenna, or turn off power to the compact disc player.

• Please place this unit on a level surface.

Cleaning the player

To clean the PLAYER, 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. Also use a dry cloth to wipe the surface dry. Do not use volatile liquids such as benzene and thinner which are harmful to the unit.

Storing discs

•Discs are made of the same kinds of plastic used for conventional analog audio records. Be careful not to allow discs to warp; always store discs in their cases vertically, avoiding locations with high heat or humidity, or extremely low temperatures. Avoid leaving discs in cars, since the seat of a car in direct sunlight can become unbelievably hot.

•Always read and abide by the precautionary notes listed on disc labels.

CD lens cleaner

The player's pickup lens should not become dirty in normal use, but if for some reason it should malfunction due to soiling, consult your nearest PIONEER authorized service center. Lens cleaners for CD players are commercially available, but special care should be exercised in their use since some may cause damage to the lens.

Cleaning and handling compact discs

•The presence of fingerprints or smudges on the surface of the disc will not directly affect the recorded signals, but depending on the degree of contamination, the brightness of the light reflected from the signal surfaces may be reduced, causing degradation of sound quality. Always keep your discs clean by wiping them gently with a soft cloth from the inner edge toward the outer periphery.

•If a disc becomes very dirty, dip a soft cloth in water, and after wringing it out well, wipe the dirt away gently, and then remove any water drops with another soft, dry cloth.

•Do not use record cleaning sprays or anti-static agents on discs. Also, never clean discs with benzene, thinner, or other volatile solvents, since damage to the disc surface may result.

Record cleaning

sprays Thinner Benzene

You can use any disc displaying one of the marks shown below. Other discs (such as CD-ROMs) will not play in this unit.

Note that this unit cannot record onto recordable discs.

•When holding discs, do not touch their signal surfaces. Hold by the edges, or by one edge and the center hole.

•Do not affix gummed labels or tape to the label surfaces. Also, do not scratch or damage the label.

•Discs rotate at high speed inside the player. Do not use damaged (cracked or warped) discs.

•Do not play a CD with a special shape (having other shape than a circular disc, such as a heart shaped disc). Otherwise malfunction may occur.

•The CD accessories (stabilizer protection sheet, protection ring, etc.) which are marketed for improving the sound quality or protecting discs as well as the disc cleaner should not be used with this system because they may cause malfunction.

Playing CD-R and CD-RW discs in this CD changer

•This unit can play music-use CD-R and CD-RW discs. However, depending on the condition of the player and the disc, you may find that not all discs will play successfully. (For example, if the disc is scratched or dirty, or if the player’s pickup lens is dirty.)

Re-transporting

When transporting this unit in the future, remove all discs from the rack. Turn off the STANDBY/ON switch, wait for “OFF” to go out from the display. Then unplug the power cord.

Precautions concerning use of optical fiber cables

•Fully insert the optical fiber cable plugs all the way into the jacks.

•Be careful not to fold or crimp the cable. When coiling an optical fiber cable for storage, make sure the diameter of the coil is 15 cm (5-15/16 in.) or larger.

•Use an optical fiber cable with a length of 3 m (10 ft.) or less.

•Protect the optical fiber cable plugs from scratches and dust.

•When the unit is not connected using an optical fiber cable, be sure to keep the protective dust cap plugged into the optical digital output jack at all times.

When operating the remote control unit, point the unit's infrared signal transmitter at the remote control receiver (Remote Sensor) on the front panel of the player. The remote control unit can be used within a range of about 7 meters (23 feet) from the remote sensor, and within angles of up to about 30 degrees.

Notes!!

•If the remote control sensor window is in a position where it receives strong light such as sunlight or fluorescent light, control may not be possible.

•When another PD-F27 (SLAVE) is connected to create a 602disc changer, only the remote sensor on the first PD-F27 (MASTER) will work.
