Installing the Batteries Aiming the Remote Controller

To open the battery compartment, press the

1

small hollow and slide open the cover.

Insert two batteries (R03/AAA) into the

2

compartment.

Carefully follow the polarity diagram (positive
(+) and negative (–) symbols) inside the

3

When you operate the remote controller, point it at the
CD Player’s remote control sensor, as shown below.

Notes:

• The remote controller may not work reliably if the
CD Player is subjected to bright light, such as
direct sunlight or inverter-type fluorescent lights.
Keep this in mind when installing.

• If another remote controller of the same type is
used in the same room, or the CD Player is
installed close to equipment that uses infrared
rays, the remote controller may not work reliably.

• Don’t put anything, such as a book, on the remote
controller because the buttons may be pressed
inadvertently, thereby draining the batteries.

• The remote controller may not work reliably if the
CD Player is installed in a rack behind colored
glass doors. Keep this in mind when installing.

• The remote controller will not work if there’s an
obstacle between it and CD Player’s remote con­trol sensor.

Notes:

• If the remote controller doesn’t work reliably, try
replacing the batteries.

• Don’t mix new and old batteries or different types
of batteries.

• If you intend not to use the remote controller for a
long time, remove the batteries to prevent dam­age from leakage or corrosion.

• Expired batteries should be removed as soon as
possible to prevent damage from leakage or cor­rosion.

Disc Notes

Label surface
(printed surface)

Playback surface

Precautions for Playback

Compact discs (CDs) with the following logo on the
label surface can be used.
Do not use discs designed for purposes other than
audio, such as CD-ROMs for PC use. Abnormal
noise could damage the speakers or amplifier.

* This CD player supports CD-R and CD-RW discs.

Never use discs which have an unusual shape
(such as hearts or octagons). These types of discs
could jam and damage the CD player.

CD Playback with Copy-control Function

Some audio CDs with copy-control functionality do
not comply with official CD standards. These are
special discs and cannot be played with this CD
player.

Playback of MP3 Discs

MP3 files recorded on a CD-R/CD-RW can be
played with this CD player.

• Use discs which have been recorded following the
ISO9660 Level 2 file system. (The supported
directory depth is eight levels, the same as
ISO9660 Level 1)

• Discs recorded with the hierarchical file system
(HFS) cannot be played.

• Up to 99 folders (including the root folder), and up
to 499 files (including root) and files can be rec­ognized and played.

Notes:

• A disc recorded with a recorder or personal com­puter may not play in some cases. (Cause: Disc’s
characteristics, damaged or dirty disc, dirt on
player’s lens, dew condensation, etc.)

• A disc recorded on a personal computer may not
play because of the application settings or envi­ronment. Record the disc with the proper format.
(Contact the application maker for details.)

• A disc with insufficient storage capacity may not
play back properly.

Note that some discs may not play back because of the
disc characteristics, scratches, contamination or the
recording state. A disc recorded with an audio CD
recorder will not play back unless it is finalized.

Playback of MP3 Discs

• Only MP3 files with the extension “.MP3” or “.
mp3” are supported.

• This CD player supports files recorded in MPEG
1 Audio Layer 3 (32-320kbps), with a sampling
frequency of 32/44.1/48 kHz.

• Variable bitrates (VBR) between 32kbps and
320kbps are supported. The time information
during VBR playback may not display correctly.

Handling Discs

Hold discs by the edge, or by the center hole and
edge. Avoid touching the playback surface (surface
with nothing printed on it).

Do not attach paper or stickers, or write on the play­back or label surface of the disc. Take care not to
scratch or damage the disc.

Precautions for Rental Discs

Do not use discs with residue from cellophane tape,
rental discs with labels which are peeling off, or discs with
decorative labels. This type of disc could get stuck in the
CD player, or could damage the CD player.

Precautions for Inkjet Printable Discs

Do not leave a CD-R/CR-RW having a label printed
with an inkjet printer in the CD player for a long
time. The disc could get stuck in the CD player, or
could damage the CD player.
Remove the disc from the CD player when not being
played, and store it in a case. A freshly printed disc will
stick easily, and should not be played immediately.

Caring for Discs

If the disc is dirty, the PD-30AE/PD-10AE will have
a hard time reading signals, and the audio quality
may drop. If the disc is dirty, gently wipe off finger­prints and dust with a soft cloth. Lightly wipe from
the center outwards.
To remove stubborn dust or
dirt, wipe the disc with a soft
cloth dampened with water,
and then dry it with a dry
cloth. Do not use cleaning
spray for analog records or
antistatic agents, etc. Never
use volatile chemicals such
as benzine or paint thinner
as they can impregnate the disc surface.

• Before making any connections, read the manu­als supplied with your other components.

• Don’t connect the power cord until you’ve com­pleted and double-checked all connections.

• We will not accept responsibility for damage aris­ing from the connection of equipment manufac­tured by other companies.

Connection Color Coding

RCA-type audio connections are usually color­coded: red and white. Use red plugs to connect
right-channel audio inputs and outputs (typically
labeled “R”). Use white plugs to connect left-chan­nel audio inputs and outputs (typically labeled “L”).

• Push plugs in all the way to
make good connections
(loose connections can
cause noise or malfunc­tions).

• To prevent interference, keep audio cables away
from power cords and speaker cables.

Optical/Coaxial Digital Jack (PD-30AE
only)

The unit supports 16 bit, 44.1 kHz PCM signal digi­tal output.

The PD-30AE’s optical digital jack has a shutter­type cover that opens when an optical plug is
inserted and closes when it’s removed. Push the
plug in all the way.

Caution:

optical plug straight when inserting and removing.

Note:

Do not put anything on top of the PD-30AE/PD­10AE, as it may interfere with proper ventilation.

To avoid damaging the shutter, hold the

Using centralized control with other Pioneer components (PD-30AE only)

By connecting Pioneer brand components with
control jacks with monaural miniplug cables (with­out resistors), you can centralize control of the
devices using the remote controller of this unit. This
also allows remote control of components not
equipped with a remote sensor, or installed in
places where the component’s remote sensor can­not be accessed.

Note:

• When connecting the CONTROL IN/OUT jacks,
supplied analog audio cables must also be used
to make analog connections. Merely connecting
the CONTROL IN/OUT jacks alone will not allow
proper system control.

• When a monaural miniplug cable is connected to
the PD-30AE’s CONTROL IN jack, the unit can­not be controlled by pointing the remote control at
the PD-30AE (the remote sensor is automatically
disabled).

numerical order starting with file #1.
On this CD Player, there are two modes for selecting files
(MP3 files): Navigation mode and All Folder mode.
In Navigation mode, you can select files (MP3 files) by

Troubleshooting-Continued

• You’re not pointing the remote controller at the PD-30AE/PD-10AE’s remote sensor. Point the remote
controller at the PD-30AE/PD-10AE’s remote sensor (page 11).

• You’re too far away from the PD-30AE/PD-10AE. Move the remote controller closer to the PD-30AE/PD­10AE (page 11). The remote controller has a range of approximately 5 meters (16 ft.).

• A strong light source is interfering with the PD-30AE/PD-10AE’s remote sensor. Make sure that the PD­30AE/PD-10AE is not subjected to direct sunshine or inverter-type fluorescent lights. Relocate if neces­sary.

• If the PD-30AE/PD-10AE is installed in a cabinet with colored glass doors, the remote controller may not
work reliably when the doors are closed. Open the doors, or use a cabinet without colored glass.

Company is not responsible for damages (such as CD rental fees) due to unsuccessful recordings caused
by malfunctions of the unit. Before you record important data, make sure that the material will be recorded
correctly.

The PD-30AE/PD-10AE contains a microcomputer for signal processing and control functions. In very rare
situations, severe interference, noise from an external source, or static electricity may cause it to lockup.
In the unlikely event that this should happen, unplug the power cord, wait at least 10 seconds, and then
plug it again.
