PRECAUTIONS
Always remove the disc when this unit is moved or
packed for transportation. After removing the disc,
return the disc table and turn the power OFF.
INSTALLING THE PLAYER
@ Place the player on a stable platform next to the television
and stereo system to be used with the player.
@ When using the player with a stereo system, your
speakers should be placed away from your television (or
TV monitor).
@ Do not place heavy objects such as a television or TV
monitor on top of the player.
@ Do not place the player on top of your TV set or TV
monitor, Also, keep the player away from devices such
as cassette decks which are sensitive to magnetic fields.
When FM or AM stations are being received, signal noise
may be generated if the player is turned on. Turn off the
player when not in use. Also, if there is signal noise when
receiving radio stations with an indoor antenna, adjust the
position or direction of the antenna.
INSTALL THE PLAYER IN A WELL VENTILATED
PLACE AWAY FROM HEAT AND HUMIDITY
Do not install the player in a location subject to direct
sunlight, or near a stove or radiator etc. This could adversely
affect the cabinet and internal components. Also avoid
installing the player in a humid or dusty location. This could
result in a malfunction or accident. Do not install near a
cookstove where the player could be affected by smoke,
steam, or heat.
AVOID SOURCES OF HEAT
Do not put the player on sources of heat, such as an
amplifier. When installing with audio components on a rack,
avoid components that generate heat, by placing the player
below such components where there is adequate ventilation
and not much dust. Avoid placing the player on surfaces
such as shaggy carpets, beds, and sofas which may block
ventilation under the player and cause damage.
CAUTIONS FOR AUTOMATIC LOADING
OPERATIONS
Since this player has an automatic loading construction,
use the key on the player or the remote control unit
for opening and closing of the disc table. To avoid
damage, be careful not to apply any force to the
moving disc table.

<VRB1037>
STRIPE PATTERNS APPEARING ON A TV
PROGRAM
Stripe patterns may appear during a TV program if the player
unit is turned on, depending on the quality of reception of
the TV station. This is neither a malfunction of the television
nor the player. If stripes appear while watching the TV, or
when watching the TV for long periods of time, turn the
player off.
CONDENSATION
Moisture will form in the operating section of the player
if the player is brought from coof surroundings into a
warm room or if the temperature of the room rises
suddenly. When this happens, player's performance will
be impaired.
To prevent this, let the player stand in its new
surroundings for about an hour before switching it on,
or make sure that the room temperature rises gradually.
The same, symptoms of condensation may be caused during
summer, if the player is exposed to the breeze from an air
conditioner. In such cases change the location of the player.
POWER-CORD CAUTION
Handle the power cord by the plug. Do not pull out the plug by tugging
the cord and never touch the power cord when your hands are wet as
this could cause a short circuit or electric shock, Do not place the unit,
a prece of furniture, etc., on the power cord, or pinch the cord. Never
make a knot in the cord or tie it with other cords. The power cords
should be routed such that they are not likely to be stepped on. A
damaged power cord can cause fire or give you an electrical shock
Check the power cord once ina while. When you find it damaged, ask
your nearest PIONEER authorized service center or your dealer for a
replacement.
CLEANING CARE
Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning. For stubborn dirt, soak
the cloth ina weak detergent solution; wring well first
and wipe. Use a dry cloth to wipe it dry. Do not use any
volatile agents such as benzine or paint thinner, as it may
damage the surface of the player.

Two types of standard LaserVision disc are available —
standard piay (CAV) (*5) discs and extended play (CLV) (*3)
discs —- which differ with respect to thelr signal recording
systems
CAV (*5} DISCS
The jackets and labels of these discs are marked with a
“Standard Play Disc CAV” or “Standard Play” indication.
Frames are recorded on these discs at a ratio of one frame
per disc revolution, and the discs are played at.a fixed
rotational speed (CAV = Constant Angular Velocity} of 1,800
rpm. This system is well suited to special playback modes
such as still frame playback and multi-speed playback. One
side of a CAV disc can have a playback time of up to 30
minutes (for a 72-inch disc}, which is equivalent to 54,000
frames. Each frame — from frame 1 to frame 54,000 — is
encoded with its own frame number.
* Playback time varies according to the contents of the
disc.

<VRB1i037>
CLV {*3} DISCS
The jackets and labels of these discs are marked with a
“Extended
Play
Disc
CLV“
or
“Extended
Play”
indication.
Signals
are
recorded
on
these
discs
at
a
constant
linear
velocity
(CLV},
and
the
rotational
speed
during
playback
varies
from
1,800
rpm
for
the
innermost
track
to
600
rpm
for
the
outermost
track.
As
a
result,
one
side
of
a
CLV
disc
can
have
a
playback
time
of
up
to
60
minutes
(for
a
12-inch
disc),
which
is
twice
as
long
as
a
standard
play
(CAV)
disc.
CLV
discs
are
encoded
with
time
numbers
which
correspond
to
the
elapsed
play
time
from
the
beginning
of
the
disc.
* Playback time varies according to the contents of the
disc.
LASERVISION DISCS WITH DIGITAL AUDIO (*6)
The
jackets
and
labels
of
these
discs
bear
the
following
mark,
These are LaserVision discs which contain digital audio
signals in addition to conventional enalog audio signals. This
feature allows the high image quality of LaserVision discs .
to be enjoyed together with the superior quality of digital
sound. The digital and analog audio signals are recorded on
the disc using different frequency bands.
LASERVISION DISCS WITH DIGITAL SOUND AND MULTI
AUDIO
The jackets and labels of these discs bear the following
mark.
digital AUTTAUDIO or Hilal MULT AUDIO
These are LaserVision discs in which the recorded digital
and analog audio signals differ in content. This allows the
user to enjoy two different audio soundtracks by switching
between the digital and analog sound.
CDV (COMPACT DISC WITH VIDEO)
DISCS
These are compact discs which also contain video signals.
Of the total 25-minute (max.) playback time of a CDV disc,
about 20 minutes is encoded with conventional CD digital
audio signals (the “audio part”). The remaining about 5
minutes is encoded with both video and digital audio signals
{the “video part”).
