BEFORE YOU USE THE PLAYER  
HERES WHAT YOU CAN DO!  
Immediately access and play your favorite tracks  
from among the 100 discs loaded in the player.  
Up to 100 CDs can be registered by classifying  
them into 3 categories (CUSTOM). [page 12]  
For example, if you register you own discs in CUSTOM I, your  
mothers discs in CUSTOM II and your fathers discs in CUSTOM  
III or if you select three kinds of music genres or artists and  
register them in the three CUSTOM banks, you can play all of the  
discs classified under one of the three CUSTOM banks. Addition  
of discs to already-registered discs is also possible. Each of the  
three CUSTOM banks can register up to 100 discs.  
[page 16]  
The Best Selection Memory function lets you store and play  
favorite tracks with the touch of a single button (up to 20 tracks).  
Easy access to the disc(s) you've listened to  
recently. [page 16]  
The Previous Disc Scan function recalls the last disc you played  
and then moves one by one through the previously played discs  
(auto-memory of last 20 discs played).  
Single Loader slot is provided. [page 11]  
If you have a disc borrowed from a friend, you can play only that  
disc by loading it in this special slot (Disc No. 0), without replacing  
discs stored in the rack.  
Disc Title input [page 19]  
The titles of up to 100 discs can be input, which is very convenient  
for disc management.  
CD TEXT compatibility [page 21]

Notes!!  
÷
In order to prevent battery leakage, remove the batteries when  
not using the remote control unit for an extended period (one  
month or more). If leakage occurs, carefully wipe away any  
battery fluid inside the compartment, and replace the batteries  
with new ones.

Do not allow books or other objects to rest on top of the re-  
mote control unit, since the buttons may be depressed, causing  
faster exhaustion of the batteries.  
Incorrect use of batteries may cause leakage or rupture.  
Always be sure to follow these guidelines:  
A. Always insert batteries into the battery compartment cor-  
rectly matching the positive ª and negative · polarities,  
as shown by the display inside the compartment.

CAUTIONS REGARDING HANDLING  
Location  
Condensation  
Install the player in a well-ventilated location where it will not be  
exposed to high temperatures or humidity.  
When this unit is brought into a warm room from previously cold  
surroundings or when the room temperature rises sharply, con-  
densation may form inside, and the unit may not be able to attain  
its full performance. If this occurs, allow the unit to stand for about  
an hour or raise the room temperature gradually.  
Do not install the player in a location which is exposed to direct  
rays of the sun, or near stoves or radiators. Excessive heat can  
adversely affect the cabinet and internal components. Installation  
of the player in a damp or dusty environment may also result in a  
malfunction or an accident. (Avoid installation near cookers etc.,  
where the player may be exposed to oily smoke, steam or heat.)  
Do not install the player on a tottered stand nor in an unstable or  
inclined place.  
Cleaning and handling compact discs  
÷
The presence of fingerprints or smudges on the surface of the  
disc will not directly affect the recorded signals, but depending  
on the degree of contamination, the brightness of the light  
reflected from the signal surfaces may be reduced, causing  
degradation of sound quality. Always keep your discs clean by  
wiping them gently with a soft cloth from the inner edge to-  
ward the outer periphery.  
Precautions regarding installation  
÷
÷
Placing and using the compact disc player for long periods on  
heat-generating sources such as amplifiers will affect perfor-  
mance. Avoid placing the player on heat-generating sources.  
Install this compact disc player as far as possible from tuners  
and TV sets. A compact disc player installed in close proximity  
to such equipment may cause noise or degradation of the pic-  
ture.  
Such noise may be particularly noticeable when an indoor an-  
tenna is used. In such cases, make use of an outdoor antenna,  
or turn off power to the compact disc player.  
÷
÷
÷
If a disc becomes very dirty, dip a soft cloth in water, and after  
wringing it out well, wipe the dirt away gently, and then remove  
any water drops with another soft, dry cloth.  
Do not use record cleaning sprays or anti-static agents on discs.  
Also, never clean discs with benzene, thinner, or other volatile  
solvents, since damage to the disc surface may result.  
÷ Please place this unit on a level surface.

Benzene  
Thinner  
Cleaning the player  
To clean the PLAYER, wipe with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn  
dirt, wet a soft cloth with a mild detergent solution made by dilut-  
ing one part detergent to 5 or 6 parts water, wring well, then wipe  
off the dirt. Also use a dry cloth to wipe the surface dry. Do not  
use volatile liquids such as benzene and thinner which are harmful  
to the unit.  
With this unit, use a Compact Disc carrying the mark shown  
below. Do not use other disc, for this may result in malfunc-  
tion or damage.  
÷
÷
÷
÷
When holding discs, do not touch their signal surfaces. Hold by  
the edges, or by one edge and the center hole.  
Do not affix gummed labels or tape to the label surfaces. Also,  
do not scratch or damage the label.  
Discs rotate at high speed inside the player. Do not use dam-  
aged (cracked or warped) discs.  
Do not play a CD with a special shape (having other shape than  
a circular disc, such as a heart shaped disc). Otherwise mal-  
function may occur.  
Storing discs  
÷
÷
Discs are made of the same kinds of plastic used for conven-  
tional analog audio records. Be careful not to allow discs to  
warp; always store discs in their cases vertically, avoiding loca-  
tions with high heat or humidity, or extremely low tempera-  
tures. Avoid leaving discs in cars, since the seat of a car in  
direct sunlight can become unbelievably hot.  
Always read and abide by the precautionary notes listed on disc  
labels.  
'
CD lens cleaner  
Re-transporting  
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 exer-  
cised in their use since some may cause damage to the lens.  
When re-transporting this unit in the future, remove all discs from the  
rack. Turn off the STANDBY/ON switch, wait for "OFF" to go out from  
the display, and unplug the power cord.

We Want You Listening For A Lifetime  
Used wisely, your new sound equipment will provide a lifetime of fun and  
enjoyment. Since hearing damage from loud noise is often undetectable until  
it is too late, this manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association’s  
Consumer Electronics Group recommend you avoid prolonged exposure to  
excessive noise. This list of sound levels is included for your protection.  
Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you’ve just purchased is  
only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it’s time to consider how you  
can maximize the fun and excitement your equipment offers. This manufac-  
turer and the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics  
Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe  
level. One that lets the sound come through loud and clear without annoying  
blaring or distortion-and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive  
hearing.  
Decibel  
Level  
Example  
30  
40  
50  
60  
70  
80  
Quiet library, soft whispers  
Living room, refrigerator, bedroom away from traffic  
Light traffic, normal conversation, quiet office  
Air conditioner at 20 feet, sewing machine  
Vacuum cleaner, hair dryer, noisy restaurant  
Average city traffic, garbage disposals, alarm clock  
at two feet.  
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level” adapts to  
higher volumes of sound. So what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and  
harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by setting your equipment at a  
safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.  
THE FOLLOWING NOISES CAN BE DANGEROUS UNDER  
CONSTANT EXPOSURE  
90  
100  
120  
140  
180  
Subway, motorcycle, truck traffic, lawn mower  
Garbage truck, chain saw, pneumatic drill  
Rock band concert in front of speakers, thunderclap  
Gunshot blast, jet plane  
To establish a safe level:  
÷ Start your volume control at a low setting.  
÷ Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and  
clearly, and without distortion.  
Rocket launching pad

Once you have established a comfortable sound level:  
÷ Set the dial and leave it there.  
Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss  
in the future. After all, we want you listening for a lifetime.
