Condensation
If the player is moved suddenly from a 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
(condensation) may form inside (on operating parts and
the lens). When condensation is present, 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 possible.
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.

Cautions on 3D Viewing
• If you should experience any fatigue or discomfort while viewing 3D images, stop viewing them.
• Children, particularly those under 6, may be more prone to sensitivity, so guardians should watch for
any signs of fatigue or discomfort.
• When viewing 3D images, rest periodically.
Extended viewing of 3D images without rest periods could cause fatigue or discomfort.
The batteries included with the player have been provided
to allow you to check product operation and may not last
long. We recommend using alkaline batteries that have a
longer life.
WARNING
• Do not use or store batteries in direct sunlight or
other excessively hot place, such as inside a car or
near a heater. This can cause batteries to leak,
overheat, explode or catch fire. It can also reduce the
life or performance of batteries.
• To prevent leakage of battery fluid, remove the
batteries if you do not plan to use the remote control
for a long period of time (1 month or more). If the fluid
should leak, wipe it carefully off the inside of the case,
then insert new batteries. If a battery should leak and
the fluid should get on your skin, flush it off with large
quantities of water.
• When disposing of used batteries, please comply with
governmental regulations or environmental public
institution’s rules that apply in your country/area.
1Open the rear cover.
2Insert (2 x AAA 700 size) batteries that are

immediately.
Caution
• The remote control setting may be restored to the
default after the batteries are replaced. If this
happens, reset it (pages 24 and 49).
• Do not use a new battery together with an old one.
• When loading the batteries into the remote control,
set them in the proper direction, as indicated by the
polarity marks ( and ).
• When inserting the batteries, make sure not to
damage the springs on the battery’s terminals.
This can cause batteries to leak or overheat.
• Do not heat batteries, disassemble them, or throw
them into flames or water.

About the PQLS function
PQLS (Precision Quartz Lock System) is a digital audio
transfer control technology using the HDMI control
function. The player’s output signals are controlled from
the AV receiver to achieve high sound quality playback
using the receiver’s quartz oscillator. This eliminates the
influence of the jitter generated during signal transfer
which can adversely affect the sound quality.
• This player supports the functions below.
– The “PQLS 2ch Audio” function that is activated
when playing music CDs (CD-DAs)
– The “PQLS Multi Surround” function that is
activated when playing all discs (BDs, DVDs, etc.)

Additional information
Cautions on use
Moving the player
If you need to move this unit, first remove the disc if
there’s one loaded, and close the disc tray. Next, press
STANDBY/ON to switch the power to standby,
checking that the POWER OFF indication on the front
panel display goes off. Wait at least 10 seconds. Lastly,
disconnect the power cord.
Never lift or move the unit during playback — discs rotate
at a high speed and may be damaged.
Place of installation
Select a stable place near the TV and AV system to which
the unit is connected.
Do not place the player on top of a TV or color monitor.
Keep it away from cassette decks or other components
easily affected by magnetism.
Avoid the following types of places:
• Places exposed to direct sunlight
• Humid or poorly ventilated places
• Extremely hot or cold places
• Places subject to vibration
• Places in which there is much dust or cigarette
smoke
• Places exposed to soot, steam or heat (in kitchens,
etc.)
Do not place objects on top
Do not place objects on top of the player.
Do not obstruct the ventilation
holes
Do not use the player on a shaggy rug, bed, or sofa, and
do not cover the player with a cloth, etc. Doing so will
prevent heat dissipation and could lead to damage.
Keep away from heat
Do not place the player on top of an amplifier or other
device generating heat. When installing in a rack, to avoid
the heat generated by the amplifier and other devices,
place it on a shelf below the amplifier whenever possible.
Turn the power off when not
using the player
Depending on the conditions of the TV broadcast signals,
striped patterns may appear on the screen when the TV is
turned on while the player’s power is turned on. This is not
a malfunction with the player or TV. If this happens, turn
the player’s power off. In the same way, noise may be
heard in the sound of a radio.
Condensation
If the player is moved suddenly from a 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 (condensation) may
form inside (on operating parts and the lens). When
condensation is present, 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 possible.
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.
Cleaning the player
Normally, wipe the player with 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 dry cloth.
Note that getting alcohol, thinner, benzene or insecticide
on the player could cause the print and coating to peel off.
Also, avoid leaving rubber or vinyl products in contact
with the player for long periods of time, as this could
damage the cabinet.
When using chemical-impregnated wipes, etc., read the
wipe’s cautions carefully.
Unplug the power cord from the power outlet when
cleaning the player.
Caution for when the unit is
installed in a rack with a glass
door
Do not press the 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.
52

Page 53
Cleaning the pickup lens
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
commercially available, we advise against using them
since some may damage the lens.
Handling discs
Do not use damaged (cracked or warped) discs.
Do not scratch the disc’s signal surface or let it get dirty.
Do not load more than one disc into the player at a time.
Do not 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.
Storing discs
Always store discs in their cases, and place the cases
vertically, avoiding places exposed to high temperatures
or humidity, direct sunlight or extremely low
temperatures.
Be sure to read the cautions included with the disc.
Condensation on discs
If the disc is moved suddenly from a cold place into a
warm room (in winter, for example), water droplets
(condensation) may form on the disc surface. Discs will
not play properly if there is condensation on them.
Carefully wipe off the water droplets from the disc surface
before using the disc.
09
Cleaning discs
It may not be possible to play the disc if there are
fingerprints or dust on it. In this case, using a cleaning
cloth, etc., to wipe the disc gently from the center toward
the outer edge. Do not use a dirty cleaning cloth.
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.
Specially shaped discs
Specially shaped discs (heart-shaped, hexagonal, etc.)
cannot be used on this player. Never use such discs, as
they will damage the player.
