Precautions
4
• When you use this universal multi-CD
system, the effective sensitivity of your
radio will be reduced slightly.
• When you turn the car radio off, the
system stays on. If you leave it on for a
long time, the car battery may go flat.
• You can connect this unit to a Multi-CD
controller (e.g. a head unit) with an IP-
BUS cable (sold separately). If you do
this, refer to the manual provided with
the Multi-CD controller before using it to
operate this unit.
• With this player, you can use the ITS
functions to store up to 99 tracks per
disc.
Even if the Head unit’s manual indicates
ITS memory is up to 24 tracks per disc,
this player can store up to 99 tracks per
disc.
• When driving on an uneven road, the
player may not reproduce every sound
properly.
• When this universal multi-CD system is
connected to a vehicle’s diversity anten-
na, there may be distortion if a station is
broadcasting a strong signal on the fre-
quency you’re using for the system. If
this occurs, switch to another frequency.
• During winter the inside of the vehicle
may be very cold. If the heater is turned
on and the player is used soon after, the
disc or optical parts (prism, lens, etc.)
may become misted up, and the player
will not operate correctly. If the disc is
misted up, wipe it with a soft cloth. If
the optical parts are misted up, wait for
about an hour for them to warm up.
They will return to their normal condi-
tion.
• This product conforms to the track skip
function of the CD-R disc. The tracks
containing the track skip information are
skipped over automatically.
In case of trouble
When the unit does not operate proper-
ly, contact your dealer or the nearest
authorized PIONEER Service Station.
CAUTION:
USE OF CONTROL OR ADJUSTMENT
OR PERFORMANCE OF PROCEDURES
OTHER THAN THOSE SPECIFIED
HEREIN MAY RESULT IN HAZARDOUS
RADIATION EXPOSURE.
CAUTION:
THE USE OF OPTICAL INSTRUMENTS
WITH THIS PRODUCT WILL INCREASE
EYE HAZARD.

Preparing to Use the Remote Controller Unit English
5
Remove the cover on the back of
the remote controller unit and
insert the battery with the (+) and
(–) poles pointing in the proper
direction.
• Use only lithium battery “CR2025”, 3 V.
Precautions
Loading Battery
• Keep the remote controller unit in an
area not exposed to long periods of
direct sunlight.
• The remote controller unit may not oper-
ate properly if the transmitter of the
remote controller unit is pointed towards
the floor or the seat of the vehicle.
• Since the transmitter employs an
infrared system, it may not operate
properly while car stereo unit is exposed
to direct sunlight. In such a case, block
the sunlight from the sensor and then
perform the desired operation.
• If the remote controller fails to operate
unless it is brought close to the unit, it
may indicate that battery power is low.
Replace the batteries in the remote
controller.
WARNING:
• Keep the Lithium Battery out of reach of children. Should the
Battery be swallowed, immediately consult a doctor.
CAUTION:
• Do not recharge, disassemble, heat or dispose of battery in fire.
• Use a CR2025 (3 V) Lithium Battery only. Never use other types of
battery with this unit.
• Do not handle the battery with metallic tools.
• Do not store the Lithium Battery with metallic materials.
• When disposing of used batteries, please comply with
governmental regulations or environmental public institution’s
rules that apply in your country/area.
• Always check carefully that you are loading battery with its (+) and
(–) poles facing in the proper directions.

•Be sure to remove the disc before
changing a disc tray.
•If the tray is not aligned with the right
and left grooves, it cannot be pushed to
the end. Do not bend or force the tray.
•Always load 6 trays in a magazine to
prevent loss or warping of trays.
•If you load a disc with the label general-
ly printed in black facing down, not only
will the player not be able to recognize
whether the disc is set or not, but also,
the display unit will not display an error
message to let you know about it. So
make sure all the discs in each maga-
zine have their label sides facing up.
