Cleaning the pickup lens

The player'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 players are commercially available, we advise against using
them since some may damage the lens.

Handling discs

Do not use damaged (cracked or warped) discs.
Do not scratch the disc's signal surface or let it get dirty.
Do not load more than one disc into the player at a time.
Do not 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.
 Storing discs
Always store discs in their cases, and place the cases vertically,
avoiding places exposed to high temperature or humidity, direct
sunlight or extremely low temperatures.
Be sure to read the cautions included with the disc.
