Handling and Care of the Disc

Some basic precautions are necessary when
handling your discs.

DVD Map Discs

• Do not use discs other than those intended for
this product. Use only discs approved by Pio-
neer.
❒ If you wish to use other DVD Map Discs,
first check that they are compatible with
this equipment and approved by Pioneer.

DVD drive and care

• Use only normal, round discs. If you insert
irregular, non-round, shaped discs they may
jam in the DVD drive or not play properly.
• Check all discs for cracks, scratches or warp-
ing before playing. Discs that have cracks,
scratches or are warped may not play properly.
Do not use such discs.
• Avoid touching the recorded (non-printed side)
surface when handling the disc.
• Store discs in their cases when not in use.
• Keep discs out of direct sunlight and do not
expose the discs to high temperatures.
• Do not attach labels, write on or apply chemi-
cals to the surface of the discs.
• To clean dirt from a disc, wipe the disc with a
soft cloth outward from the center of the disc.
• If the heater is used in cold weather, condensa-
tion may form on components inside the DVD
drive. Condensation may cause the DVD drive
to not operate properly. If you think that con-
densation is a problem turn off the DVD drive
for an hour or so to allow the DVD drive to dry
out and wipe any damp discs with a soft cloth
to remove the moisture.
• Road shocks may interrupt disc playback.
