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

CAUTION  
The STANDBY/ON switch on this unit will not  
completely shut off all power from the AC outlet.  
Since the power cord serves as the main disconnect  
device for the unit, you will need to unplug it from  
the AC outlet to shut down all power. Therefore,  
make sure the unit has been installed so that the  
power cord can be easily unplugged from the AC  
outlet in case of an accident. To avoid fire hazard,  
the power cord should also be unplugged from the  
AC outlet when left unused for a long period of time  
damaged, ask your nearest PIONEER authorized

Troubleshooting  
Incorrect operation is often mistaken for trouble or malfunction. If you think that there is  
something wrong with this component, check the points below. Sometimes the trouble may  
lie in another component. Inspect the other components and electrical appliances being  
used. If the trouble cannot be rectified after checking the items below, ask your nearest  
Pioneer authorized service center or your dealer to carry out repair work.  
The player may not operate properly due to static electricity or other external influences. In  
such cases, normal operation may be restored by unplugging the power cord then plugging  
it back in.  
General problems

Remedy  
Settings you have made have  
been cleared.  
Was the power cord unplugged  
forcibly while the player’s power  
was on?  
The settings may be cleared if the power  
cord is unplugged or if there is a power fail‑  
ure while the player’s power is on. Be sure  
to press STANDBY/ON on the player’s  
front panel or press STANDBY/ON on  
the remote control and wait for the - OFF  
- indicator on the front panel display to turn  
off before unplugging the power cord. Be  
particularly careful when the player’s power  
cord is plugged into the AC outlet of another  
component, since the supply of power to the  
player turns off together with the power sup‑  
ply of the other component. We recommend  
plugging the power cord directly into a wall  
outlet, etc., whenever possible.

Cautions on use  
If the picture of the disc being played is  
distorted, switch the TV system to the one  
used in your country or region.  
When the TV system is switched, the  
types of discs that can be played are  
limited.  
When moving the player  
When moving the player, check first that  
there is no disc loaded and that the disc tray  
is closed. Then press STANDBY/ON on  
the player (or STANDBY/ON on the remote  
control), wait for the - OFF - indicator on the  
front panel display to turn off, then unplug  
the power cord. Moving the player with a disc  
inside it could result in damage.  
The factory default setting is AUTO.

Place of installation  
Choose a stable place near the TV or ste‑

Do not place the player on top of a TV or  
color monitor. Also install it away from  
cassette decks and other devices easily  
affected by magnetic forces.  
Use the buttons on the player’s front panel.  
The power turns on and the TV system  
switches as shown below.

Turn off the player’s power  
when not using it.  
Depending on signal conditions, striped pat‑  
terns may appear on a TV screen and noise  
may enter the sound of radio broadcasts  
when the player’s power is on. If this hap‑  
pens, turn the player’s power off.  
Caution for when the unit is  
installed in a rack with a glass  
door  
Do not press 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.  
About condensation  
If the player is moved suddenly from a  
Cleaning the lens  
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 (conden‑  
sation) may form inside (on operating parts  
and the lens). When condensation is pres‑  
ent, 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 pos‑  
sible. 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.  
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 com‑  
mercially available, we advise against using  
them since some may damage the lens.

Cleaning the product  
Unplug the power cord from the power  
outlet when cleaning the player.  
Clean the player 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 the player for long periods  
of time could mar the cabinet.  
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.  
When using chemical‑impregnated  
wipes, etc., read the cautions included  
with the wipes carefully.

Cleaning discs  
About condensation on discs  
Discs may not play if there are finger‑  
prints 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.  
Water droplets (condensation) may form on  
the surface of discs if they are moved from  
a cold place (particularly in winter) into a  
warm room. Discs may not play normally if  
there is condensation on them. Carefully wipe  
the water droplets off the surface of the disc  
before loading it.  
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 place two discs in the disc tray,  
one on top of the other.  
Do not attach pieces of paper or stick‑  
ers 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, hexag‑  
onal, etc.) cannot be played on this player. Do  
not attempt to play such discs, as they could  
damage the player.
