Troubleshooting
Incorrect operations can be mistaken as malfunctions. If you believe the unit is not operating correctly, consult the chart below. Sometimes incorrect
operation may be due to a malfunction in another component. If the problem is not fixed, check the other components used with the player. If the
problem still persists, contact your nearest Pioneer authorized service center or dealer for service.

¶ This component may fail to operate properly due to influence of static electricity or other external influences. In this case, try turning
off the POWER switch, and turn on the power again only when the disc has fully stopped rotating.
¶ This unit cannot play partially recorded CD-R or CD-RW discs that have not been finalized.
¶ This unit plays only standard 12 cm discs and 8 cm discs mounted in proper disc adapters; it cannot play irregularly shaped discs
(damage or malfunctions may occur).
¶ BPM values measured with this unit may differ from published values found on CD labels, or those measured on Pioneer DJ mixers.
This is a result of differences in BPM measuring methods, and is not a malfunction.
¶ When playing CD-R/RW discs, some degradation in performance may be experienced depending on the recording quality of the
individual disc.
