CONTROL UNIT

Open the lid of the battery compartment on the rear of the remote
control unit, and insert the batteries, taking care to align the ª and

· polarities correctly.

Notes!!

• In order to prevent battery leakage, remove the batteries when
not using the remote control unit for an extended period (one
month or more). If leakage occurs, carefully wipe away any
battery fluid inside the compartment, and replace the batteries
with new ones.

• 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 ª and 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, de-

pending 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 degrada­tion 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.

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.

OPERATING

BEFORE

OPERATIONS

BASIC

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.

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.

REMOTE CONTROL OPERATIONS

(23 feet)

30°

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.
