Taking care of your system
To clean this unit, wipe with a soft, dry cloth. For
stubborn dirt, wet a soft cloth with a mild detergent
solution made by diluting one part detergent to 5 or 6
parts water, wring well, then wipe off the dirt. Use a dry
cloth to wipe the surface dry. Do not use volatile liquids
such as benzene and thinner which may damage the
surfaces.
Disc lens cleaner
The disc pickup lens should not become dirty in normal
use, but if for some reason it should malfunction due to
dirt or dust, 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.
Taking care of your discs
When holding discs, 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 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 on the next
page. If necessary, use a cloth soaked in alcohol, or a
commercially available CD or DVD cleaning kit to clean
a disc more thoroughly. Never use benzine, thinner or
other cleaning agents, including products designed for
cleaning vinyl records.
• Wipe lightly from the center of the disc using
straight strokes.
• Don’t wipe the disc surface using circular strokes.
Switching the AM frequency interval
As its default setting, the tuner jumps in steps of 10kHz
when tuning in AM stations. If you find that this is
unsuitable in your area (if you can’t tune into stations
successfully), you can change the tuning interval to
9kHz for AM. Here’s how to switch the setting.
1 Switch the system into standby.
2 Press SYSTEM SETUP.
3 Press the 2 or 3 button until you see AM
STEP in the display.
4 Use the 5 and ∞ buttons to select 9kHz
or 10kHz.
• When set to 9kHz, the FM tuning interval becomes
50kHz. This should not affect tuning into FM stations.
5 Press ENTER.
Setting the display brightness
You can adjust the brightness of the display to suit the
lighting conditions of the room.
• Press FL DIMMER (SHIFT & >10).
Press repeatedly to set the display brightness. There are
five levels.
Switching the time format
You can display the clock in either 12 or 24-hour
format.
1 Switch the system into standby.
2 Press SYSTEM SETUP.
3 Press the 2 or 3 button until you see
CLOCK 12 HR or CLOCK 24 HR in the
display.
4 Use the 5 and ∞ buttons to select 12 or
24.
5 Press ENTER.
