AC adapter caution

• Make sure to grasp the body of the AC adapter
when removing it from the power outlet. If you pull
the power cord, it may become damaged which
could lead to fire and/or electrocution.

• Do not attempt to plug in or remove the AC
adapter with wet hands. This may result in
electrocution.

• Insert the prongs of the AC adapter all the way into
the power outlet. If the connection is incomplete,
heat may be generated which could lead to fire.
Furthermore, contact with the connected prongs
of the adapter may result in electrocution.

• Do not insert the AC adapter into a power outlet
where the connection remains loose despite
inserting the prongs all the way into the outlet.
Heat may be generated which could lead to fire.
Consult with the retailer or an electrician
regarding replacement of the power outlet.

• Do not place the unit, a piece of furniture, etc., on
the power cord, or pinch the cord. Never make a
knot in the cord or tie it with other cords. The
power cords should be routed such that they are
not likely to be stepped on. A damaged AC adapter
and power cord can cause a fire or give you an
electrical shock. Check the AC adapter and the
power cord once in a while. When you find it
damaged, ask your nearest PIONEER authorized
service center or your dealer for a replacement.

POWER-CORD CAUTION

Handle the power cord by the plug. Do not pull out the
plug by tugging the cord and never touch the power
cord when your hands are wet as this could cause a
short circuit or electric shock. Do not place the unit, a
piece of furniture, etc., on the power cord, or pinch the
cord. Never make a knot in the cord or tie it with other
cords. The power cords should be routed such that they
are not likely to be stepped on. A damaged power cord
can cause a fire or give you an electrical shock. Check
the power cord once in a while. When you find it

Chapter 6:

Disc playback

This system can play back a standard CD, CD-R/RW in the CD
format and CD-R/RW with MP3 or WMA files, but cannot
record on them. Some audio CD-R and CD-RW discs may not
be playable due to the state of the disc or the device that was
used for recording.

MP3:

MP3 is a form of compression. It is an acronym which stands
for MPEG Audio Layer 3. MP3 is a type of audio code which is
processed by significant compression from the original audio
source with very little loss in sound quality.

• This system supports MPEG-1/2 Audio Layer 3 (Sampling
rates: 8 kHz to 48 kHz; Bit rates: 32 kbps to 320 kbps).

• During VBR file playback, time counter in the display
may differ from its actual playback time.

WMA:

WMA (Windows Media Audio) files are Advanced System
Format files that include audio files which are compressed
with Windows Media Audio codec. WMA is developed by
Microsoft as an audio format file for Windows Media Player.

• This system supports WMA (Sampling rates: 32 kHz/44.1
kHz/48 kHz; Bit rates: 64 kbps to 320 kbps).

• During VBR file playback, time counter in the display
may differ from its actual playback time.

About DAB+ (Digital Audio
Broadcasting)

Digital Audio Broadcasting is a digital transmission system
where audio signals are converted to digital signals for
broadcasting. DAB+ is broadcast as a group of data called
multiplex (ensemble) which may contain one or more stations
(services). Each station contains a primary service and there
may be one or more secondary services. This allows several
programmes or services to be transmitted on a single
frequency.

Auto Scan

When turned on for the first time, the unit scans radio
stations automatically to create a station list. You can make
the auto scan again when you move the unit to other areas or
add multiplex channels to the station list.

Additional information10

Do not place objects on this unit

Do not place any objects on top of this unit.

Do not obstruct the ventilation holes.

Do not use this unit on shaggy rugs, beds, sofas, etc., or
wrapped in cloth, etc. Doing so will prevent the heat from
dispersing, leading to damage.

Do not expose to heat.

Do not place this unit on top of an amplifier or other
component that generates heat. When rack mounting it, to
avoid the heat given off by the amplifier or other audio
component, place it on a shelf below the amplifier.

• Turn off the unit’s power when not using it.

• Depending on signal conditions, striped patterns may
appear on a TV screen and noise may enter the sound of
radio broadcasts when the unit’s power is on. If this
happens, turn the unit’s power off.

About condensation

If this unit is moved suddenly from a cold place into a warm
room (in winter, for example) or if the temperature in the room
in which this unit is installed rises suddenly due to heater
operation, etc., water droplets (condensation) may form
inside (on operating parts and the lens). When condensation
is present, this unit will not operate properly and playback is
not possible. Let this unit 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 this unit is directly exposed to the air flow
from an air-conditioner. If this happens, move this unit to a
different place.

Cleaning the product

• Unplug the power cord from the power outlet when
cleaning this unit.

• Clean this unit using 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 soft, dry cloth.

• Alcohol, thinner, benzene, insecticides, etc., could cause
the print or paint to peel off. Also, leaving rubber or vinyl
products in contact with this unit for long periods of time
could mar the cabinet.

• When using chemical-impregnated wipes, etc., read the
cautions included with the wipes carefully.

Cleaning the lens

• This unit’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

Storing

• Always place discs in their cases and store them
vertically, avoiding hot, humid places, places exposed to
direct sunlight and extremely cold places.

• Be sure to read the cautions included with the disc.

Cleaning discs

• Discs may not play if there are fingerprints or dust on
them. In this case, use a cleaning cloth, etc., to gently
wipe the disc from the inside towards the outside. Do not
use dirty cleaning cloths.

• 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.

• Do not use damaged (cracked or warped) discs.

• Do not let the signal surface of discs get scratched or
dirty.

• Do not attach pieces of paper or stickers to discs. Doing
so could warp discs, making it impossible to play them.
Also note that rental discs often have labels attached to
them, and the label’s glue may have oozed out. Check
that there is no glue around the edges of such labels
before using rented discs.

About specially shaped discs

Specially shaped discs (heart-shaped, hexagonal, etc.)
cannot be played on this unit. Do not attempt to play such
discs, as they could damage this unit.
