Using discs with this unit
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 fingerprints,
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.
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 environments (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 conventional,
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.
