CAUTIONS REGARDING COMPACT
DISC HANDLING
CARE OF DISCS
eWhen holding discs, do not touch their signal surfaces.
@Do not affix gummed labels or tape to the label surfaces. Also,
do not scratch or damage the disc.
eDiscs
rotate at high speed inside the player. Do not use
damaged (cracked or warped) discs.
STORING DISCS
e Always store discs in their cases vertically, avoiding locations
with high heat or humidity, or extremely low temperatures.
e Always read and abide by the precautionary notes listed on the
disc labels.
CLEANING DISCS
eFingerprints or smudges
on the surface of a disc will not
directly affect the recorded signals. Always keep your discs
clean by wiping them gently with a soft cloth from the inner
edge toward the outer periphery.
elf a disc becomes very dirty, dip a soft cloth in water, and after
wringing it out well, wipe the dirt away gently. Remove any
water drops with another soft, dry cloth.
eDo not use record cleaning sprays or anti-static agents on
discs. Never clean discs with benzene, thinner, or other volatile
solvents, since damage to the disc surface may result.

CD LENS CLEANER
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.

HOW TO HANDLE CASSETTE
TAPES
Is the tape loose, or is some of the tape sticking out of
the cassette?
This will damage the tape itself.
To remove the slack, insert a pencil
into the spool and gently wind it.
Safekeeping
Put the cassette tape back into its

TIPS ON USING CASSETTE TAPES
e@ Leader tape (which does not allow sound to be recorded over
it) is provided
at the beginning
of a cassette tape. Start
recording after allowing the tape to run for approx. 5 seconds
so that the leader tape clears the recording head.
e Forwarding or reversing the cassette tapes before recording
prevents shock to the unit caused by slack.
Do not use tapes of more than 90 minutes.
Since tapes of more than 90 minutes are so thin, they easily
jam in the pinch roller and capstan, and they are susceptible
to other trouble such as irregular winding. Try not to use
them with this unit.
How can you prevent accidental erasure?
When the tab on the cassette shell is broken out with the tip of
a screwdriver, it will not be possible to activate the recording
function even by pressing the @/™ button, so valuable recordings
will not be erased in error.
For side A
For side B
With TYPE I (Normal) tapes, when you want to record again on
a cassette with broken erasure
prevention tabs, cover the hole
with a double layer of adhesive tape.
Use only TYPE I (Normal) tapes with this unit; TYPE II (HIGH/
CrOz2) and TYPE IV (Metal) tapes cannot be used.
