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 commer-
cially 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.
Handling video tapes
Please do not use the following kinds of video tape:
- Dusty or mouldy tape
- Tape on which liquid has been spilled
- Tape which has been broken and then repaired
- Tape which has become unwound from the
spools in the cassette
•Dirty heads and very long length, thin video tape
can cause problems such as uneven playback.
•When using a new video tape, fast-forward to the
end, then rewind it back to the start before using.
• Avoid dropping video tapes or exposing them to
severe vibration.
Storing video tapes
•After using a video tape, rewind it back to the
beginning and return to its case.
•Do not store tapes:
- in excessively dusty places
- in excessively hot or humid places
- in direct sunlight
- near air-conditioners or heaters
- near strong magnetic fields

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.
Normal When head is dirty
Note
•DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE VIDEO HEADS OR
SERVICE THE UNIT BY REMOVING THE TOP 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.
•We do not recommend using wet-type head-
cleaning cassettes as they may damage the unit.
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.
Resetting the recorder
If you need to, you can reset the recorder to all its
factory settings.
1Make sure that the recorder is on and remove
the disc.
2Press and hold STOP and press ww
ww
w STANDBY/
ON.
The recorder turns off with all settings reset.
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.
