lead to sound distortion or malfunction.
ANTENNA CONNECTIONS
Radio reception is not possible unless the antenna is properly
connected.
The strength of broadcast signals varies from one area to
another. Signal propagation is especially poor in metropolitan
areas, where there are many tall buildings and in mountainous
areas, Proper antenna installation is vital to good reception.

STORING DISCS
# Always store discs in their cases vertically, avoiding locations
with high heat or humidity, or extremely low temperatures.
@ Always read and abide by the precautionary notes listed on the
disc labels.
CLEANING DISCS
eFingerprints or smudges on the surface of a disc will not
directly affect the recorded signals. Always keep your discs
clean by wiping them gently with a soft cloth fram the inner
edge toward the outer periphery.
alfa disc becomes very dirty, dip a soft cioth in water, and after
wringing it out well, wipe the dirt away gently. Remove any
water drops with another soft, dry cioth,
#Do not use record cleaning sprays or anti-static agents on
discs. Never clean discs with benzene, thinner, or other volatile
solvents, since damage to the disc surface may result.

CD LENS CLEANER
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 exercised in their use since some may cause
damage to the lens,

TIPS ON USING CASSETTE TAPES
@ Leader tape which does not allow sound te be recorded over 't)
is provided at the beginning of a cassette tape. Start recarding
after allowing the tape to run for approx, § seconds so that the
leader tape clears the recording head.
@Forwarding or reversing the cassette tapes before recording
prevents shock to the unit caused by slack.
| Do net use tapes of mere than 90 minutes.
| Since tapes of more than 90 minutes are so thin, they easiiy |
jam in the pinch raller and capstan, and they are susceptible |
to other trouble such as irreguiar winding. Try not to use
| them with this unit. i
How can you prevent accidental erasure?
When the tab on the cassette shell is broken out with the tip of
a screwdriver, it will not be possible to activate the recording
function even by pressing the @/a button, so valuable recordings
will not be erased in error.
