Location  
Condensation  
Install the player in a well-ventilated location where it will not be  
exposed to high temperatures or humidity.  
When this unit is brought into a warm room from previously cold  
surroundings or when the room temperature rises sharply, con-  
densation may form inside, and the unit may not be able to attain  
its full performance. If this occurs, allow the unit to stand for  
about an hour or raise the room temperature gradually.

BEFORE YOU USE THE PLAYER  
HERE’S WHAT YOU CAN DO!  
301 CD giga changer for the compact 16 inch width  
The new roulette-type mechanism allows for a capacity of 301 CDs.  
Connectable to another 301 CD player and playback 602 discs  
Another PD-F27 (301-disc CD changer) can be connected to create a 602-disc changer. Control is possible even with  
more CDs.  
One-disc jump-in playback thanks to a single loader slot  
The PD-F27 is equipped with a single loader that lets you easily play a disc that is not loaded in the rack. What's  
more, a priority key makes for excellent operability of the jump-in play function.  
Compatible with recordable CDs  
As well as regular CDs, this unit can play CD-R and CD-RW discs.  
CD Text compatibility for automatically storing and displaying disc titles  
In addition to the title input function, the PD-F27 is also CD Text compatible. Furthermore, the use of a dot matrix  
FL makes it easy to manage discs.  
Titles can be input using an IBM-compatible PC keyboard as well as with the provided  
remote control unit.  
Many handy functions for taking maximum advantage of the changer  
The PD-F27 is equipped with three listening modes (ALL, SINGLE and CUSTOM) with 10 custom files, as well as a  
direct button for even greater operability. What's more, a jog dial on the main unit makes it even easier to select  
discs, input titles and so on.  
Disc detection function  
When the hood is closed, the set automatically detects whether or not a disc is loaded.  
Energy-saving design  
This unit is designed to use 1W of energy when this player is in standby mode.  
Hi-bit Legato Link Conversion  
This results in more faithful reproduction of the original sound than ever before.

CAUTIONS REGARDING HANDLING  
Precautions regarding installation  
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.  
• Placing and using the compact disc player for long periods on  
heat-generating sources such as amplifiers will affect perfor-  
mance. 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 degrada-  
tion 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.  
• When holding discs, do not touch their signal surfaces. Hold by  
the edges, or by one edge and the center hole.  
• Please place this unit on a level surface.  
• 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.  
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 conven-  
tional 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 tempera-  
tures. 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.  
Playing CD-R and CD-RW discs in this CD changer  
CD lens cleaner  
• 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.)  
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.  
Re-transporting  
Cleaning and handling compact discs  
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.  
• 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.  
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.  
• 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.

We Want You Listening For A Lifetime

Used wisely, your new sound equipment will provide a lifetime of fun and  
enjoyment. Since hearing damage from loud noise is often undetectable until  
it is too late, this manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association’s  
Consumer Electronics Group recommend you avoid prolonged exposure to  
excessive noise. This list of sound levels is included for your protection.  
Want You  
LISTENING  
For A Lifetime  
Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you’ve just purchased is  
only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it’s time to consider how you  
can maximize the fun and excitement your equipment offers. This manufac-  
turer and the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics  
Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe  
level. One that lets the sound come through loud and clear without annoying  
blaring or distortion-and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive  
hearing.  
Decibel  
Level  
Example  
30  
40  
50  
60  
70  
80  
Quiet library, soft whispers  
Living room, refrigerator, bedroom away from traffic  
Light traffic, normal conversation, quiet office  
Air conditioner at 20 feet, sewing machine  
Vacuum cleaner, hair dryer, noisy restaurant  
Average city traffic, garbage disposals, alarm clock  
at two feet.  
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level” adapts to  
higher volumes of sound. So what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and  
harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by setting your equipment at a  
safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.  
THE FOLLOWING NOISES CAN BE DANGEROUS UNDER  
CONSTANT EXPOSURE  
90  
100  
120  
140  
180  
Subway, motorcycle, truck traffic, lawn mower  
Garbage truck, chain saw, pneumatic drill  
Rock band concert in front of speakers, thunderclap  
Gunshot blast, jet plane  
To establish a safe level:  
÷ Start your volume control at a low setting.  
÷ Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and  
clearly, and without distortion.  
Rocket launching pad  
Information courtesy of the Deafness Research Foundation.  
Once you have established a comfortable sound level:  
÷ Set the dial and leave it there.

Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss  
in the future. After all, we want you listening for a lifetime.
