Storing discs
Although CDs and DVD discs are more
durable than vinyl records, you should still
take care to handle and store discs correctly.
When you're not using a disc, return it to its
case and store upright. Avoid leaving discs
in excessively cold, humid, or hot environ-
ments (including under direct sunlight).
Don't glue paper or put stickers onto the
disc, or use a pencil, ball-point pen or other
sharp-tipped writing instrument. These could
all damage the disc.
For more detailed care information see the
instructions that come with discs.
Do not load more than one disc into the
player at a time.
Discs to avoid
Discs spin at high speed inside the player. If
you can see that a disc is cracked, chipped,
warped, or otherwise damaged, don't risk
using it in your player—you could end up
damaging the unit.
This unit is designed for use with conven-
tional, fully circular discs only. Use of shaped
discs is not recommended for this product.
Pioneer disclaims all liability arising in
connection with the use of shaped discs.
Taking care of your player
and discs
Handling discs
When holding discs of any type, take care
not to leave fingerprints, dirt or scratches on
the disc surface. Hold the disc by its edge or
by the center hole and edge.
Damaged or dirty discs can affect playback
performance. Take care also not to scratch
the label side of the disc. Although not as
fragile as the recorded side, scratches can
still result in a disc becoming unusable.
Should a disc become marked with finger-
prints, dust, etc., clean using a soft, dry
cloth, wiping the disc lightly from the center
to the outside edge as shown in the diagram
below.
Wipe lightly from the center of the
disc using straight strokes.
Don’t wipe the disc surface using
circular strokes.
If necessary, use a cloth soaked in alcohol,
or a commercially available CD/DVD
cleaning kit to clean a disc more thoroughly.
Never use benzine, thinner or other cleaning
agents, including products designed for
cleaning vinyl records.
