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 and
recording 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.
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 recorder.
Damaged discs
Discs spin at high speed inside the recorder. If you can
see that a disc is cracked, chipped, warped, or
otherwise damaged, don't risk using it; you could end
up damaging the recorder.
This recorder 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.
Cleaning the pickup lens
The DVD recorder'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 CD players are commercially available, we
do not recommend using them since some may
damage the lens.
Video head cleaning
Video head clogging
The video heads are the means by which the DVD/VCR
reads the picture from the tape during playback. In the
unlikely event that the heads become dirty enough to be
clogged, no picture will be played back. This can easily
be determined if, during playback of a known good tape,
there is good sound, but no picture (picture is extremely
snowy). If this is the case, have the DVD/VCR checked
by qualified service personnel.
Note
•DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE VIDEO HEADS
OR SERVICE THE UNIT BY REMOVING THE REAR
COVER.
•Video heads may eventually wear out and should be
replaced when they fail to produce clear pictures.
•To help prevent video head clogging, use only good
quality VHS tapes. Discard worn out tapes.
Moving the recorder
If you need to move the recorder, first remove the disc
and the cassette, if they are loaded, and close the disc
tray. Next press STANDBY/ON to switch the power to
standby. Lastly, disconnect the power cord.
Hints on installation
We want you to enjoy using this unit for years to come,
so please bear in mind the following points when
choosing a suitable location for it:
Do...
Use in a well-ventilated room.
Place on a solid, flat, level surface, such as a table,
shelf or stereo rack.
Don't...
Use in a place exposed to high temperatures or
humidity, including near radiators and other heat-
generating appliances.
Place on a window sill or other place where the
recorder will be exposed to direct sunlight.
Use in a dusty or damp environment or in a room
where it will be exposed to excessive cigarette
smoke.
Place directly on top of an amplifier, or other
component in your stereo system that becomes hot
in use.
Use near a television or monitor as you may
experience interference-especially if the television
uses an indoor antenna.
Use in a kitchen or other room where the recorder
may be exposed to smoke or steam.
Use on a thick rug or carpet, or cover with cloth-
this may prevent proper cooling of the unit.
Place on an unstable surface, or one that is not
large enough to support all four of the unit's feet.
