Additional information

Handling discs

When holding discs of any type, 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 and recording 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. 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 in the diagram below.

If necessary, use a cloth soaked in alcohol, or a commercially available CD/DVD cleaning kit to clean a disc more thoroughly. Never use benzine, thinner or other cleaning agents, including products designed for cleaning vinyl records.

Storing discs

Although CDs and DVD discs 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 onto the disc, or use a pencil, ball-point pen or other sharp-tipped writing instrument. These could all damage the disc.

For more detailed care information see the instructions that come with discs. Do not load more than one disc into the recorder.

Damaged discs

Discs spin at high speed inside the recorder. If you can see that a disc is cracked, chipped, warped, or otherwise damaged, don't risk using it; you could end up damaging the recorder. This recorder is designed for use with conventional, fully circular discs only. Use of shaped discs is not recommended for this product. Pioneer disclaims all liability arising in connection with the use of shaped discs.

Cleaning the pickup lens

The DVD recorder'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 CD players are commercially available, we do not recommend using them since some may damage the lens.

Handling video tapes

Please do not use the following kinds of video tape:

- Dusty or mouldy tape

- Tape on which liquid has been spilled

- Tape which has been broken and then repaired

- Tape which has become unwound from the spools in the cassette

• Dirty heads and very long length, thin video tape can cause problems such as uneven playback.

• When using a new video tape, fast-forward to the end, then rewind it back to the start before using.

• Avoid dropping video tapes or exposing them to severe vibration.

2G00201A_En_81_92 2/12/05, 3:27 PM88

Storing video tapes

• After using a video tape, rewind it back to the beginning and return to its case.

• Do not store tapes:

- in excessively dusty places

- in excessively hot or humid places

- in direct sunlight

- near air-conditioners or heaters

- near strong magnetic fields

Additional information

Video head cleaning

Video head clogging

The video heads are the means by which the DVD/VCR reads the picture from the tape during playback. In the unlikely event that the heads become dirty enough to be clogged, no picture will be played back. This can easily be determined if, during playback of a known good tape, there is good sound, but no picture (picture is extremely snowy). If this is the case, have the DVD/VCR checked by qualified service personnel.

Normal When head is dirty

Note

• DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE VIDEO HEADS OR SERVICE THE UNIT BY REMOVING THE TOP COVER.

• Video heads may eventually wear out and should be replaced when they fail to produce clear pictures.

• To help prevent video head clogging, use only good quality VHS tapes. Discard worn out tapes.

• We do not recommend using wet-type headcleaning cassettes as they may damage the unit.

Moving the recorder

If you need to move the recorder, first remove the disc and the cassette, if they are loaded, and close the disc tray. Next press STANDBY/ON to switch the power to standby. Lastly, disconnect the power cord.

Hints on installation

We want you to enjoy using this unit for years to come, so please bear in mind the following points when choosing a suitable location for it:

Do...

 Use in a well-ventilated room.  Place on a solid, flat, level surface, such as a table,

shelf or stereo rack.

Don't...

 Use in a place exposed to high temperatures or

humidity, including near radiators and other heatgenerating appliances.

 Place on a window sill or other place where the

recorder will be exposed to direct sunlight.

 Use in a dusty or damp environment or in a room where

it will be exposed to excessive cigarette smoke.

 Place directly on top of an amplifier, or other component

in your stereo system that becomes hot in use.

 Use near a television or monitor as you may

experience interference-especially if the television uses an indoor antenna.

 Use in a kitchen or other room where the recorder

may be exposed to smoke or steam.

 Use on a thick rug or carpet, or cover with cloth-

this may prevent proper cooling of the unit.

 Place on an unstable surface, or one that is not

large enough to support all four of the unit's feet.

Resetting the recorder

If you need to, you can reset the recorder to all its factory settings.

1 Make sure that the record is on.

2 Press and hold  STOP and press ON.

The recorder turns off with all settings reset.
