CAUTIONS REGARDING HANDLING
Install the player in a
Do not install the player in a location which is exposed to direct sunlight, or near stoves or radiators. Excessive heat can adversely affect the cabinet and internal com- ponents. Installation of the player in a damp or dusty environment may aiso result in a malfunction and can be hazardous. Avoid installation near cookers etc., where the player may be exposed to oily smoke, steam or heat.
Installation guidelines
??Placing and using the compact disc player for long periods on
??Install this compact disc player as far as possible away from tuners and TV sets. A compact disc player in- stalled in close proximity to such equipment may cause noise or degradation of the picture.
??Noise may be noticeable when an indoor antenna is used. In such cases, make use of an outdoor antenna or turn off power to the compact disc player.
??When the unit is used in a
??Place this unit on a level surface and a stable platform.
??Be sure the player, including its audio and power sup- ply cords, does not touch vibrating materials. Any cause of vibration other than the insulators may cause the disc to skip. Take special care when using the player while it is installed in a carrying case.
Do not place on or against vibrating materials!
Cleaning the player
To clean the PLAYER wipe with a polishing or a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, moisten a soft cloth with a weak solution of neutral detergent (diluted in five to six parts water), wring the cloth well, and wipe away the dirt. Use a dry cloth to wipe the surface dry. Do not use volatile liquids such as benzene or thinner which will damage to the unit.
CD lens cleaner
The player???s pickup lens should not become dirty in nor- mal use. If for some reason, the lens becomes soiled and malfunctions, contact your nearest PIONEER author- ized service center. Lens cleaners for CD players are com- mercially available, but special care should be exercised in their use as some may cause damage to the lens.
??Discs are made of the same kinds of plastic used for conventional analog audio records. Be careful not to allow discs to warp. Always store discs in their cases vertically, avoiding locations with high heat, humid- ity, or extremely low temperatures. Avoid leaving discs in cars; the interior of a car in direct sunlight can be- come extremely hot.
??Always read and abide by the precautionary notes listed on disc labels.
Condensation
When this unit is brought into a warm room from previ- ously cold surroundings or when the room temperature rises sharply, condensation may form inside the unit and impair its performance. In such cases, allow the unit to stand for about an hour or raise the room temperature gradually.
Cleaning and handling compact discs
??The presence of fingerprints or smudges on the sur- face of the disc will not directly affect the recorded signals, but, depending on the degree of contamina- tion, the brightness of the light reflected from the sig- nal surfaces may be reduced causing degradation of sound quality. Always keep your discs clean by wip- ing them gently with a soft cloth from the inner edge toward the outer edge.
??If a disc becomes very dirty, dampen a soft cloth with water, (be sure to wring it out well) and wipe the away dirt gently. Remove any water drops with another soft, dry cloth.
??Do not use record cleaning sprays or
?? With this player, use only those discs
which display the mark shown right ' (Optical audio digital discs).
??When holding discs, do not touch their signal surfaces. Hold by the edges, or by one edge and the center hole.
??Do not affix gummed labels or tape to the disc sur- face. Also, do not scratch or damage the label.
??Discs rotate at high speeds inside the player. Do not use damaged, cracked or warped discs.
Do not play a CD with a special shape
Do not play a CD having other shape than a circular disc, such as heart shaped disc. Otherwise malfunction may occur.

FEATURES
This component is a compact disc player designed for use by DJs, combining the functions and operations re- quired for use in disco clubs with the unique features of the CD medium.
DIGITAL JOG BREAK
Each of three buttons provides a different remix assist function (JET, ZIP, WAH). By selecting the desired function and controlling the jog dial to match the track selection, you can easily create new remix sounds.
JOG DIAL
The
Merely rotating the dial with the fingertips allows you to find the precise entry point for tracks, moving in increments of
In addition, this jog dial can be used to
TEMPO CONTROL
The digital display with a 0.1% unit readout provides simplified tempo control with higher accuracy (at a variable range of ??10%).
?? Two Tempo Control Ranges
The maximum adjustable range can be set using two variable ranges or
??10% (in 0.1% steps) and +10 to
QUICK START
Pressing the button from the standby mode produces instantaneous (0.01 second or less) music start.
Normal CD players require up to 0.3 seconds from the standby mode to the production of sound. The quick start function virtually eliminates this time lag making for smoother
MASTER TEMPO
Changes music tempo without changing pitch.
With analog systems, changing track speed results in a change in pitch.
Master Tempo Control takes advantage of the unique features of digital medium enabling track speed to be changed with no deterioration of the original pitch.
PLAYING ADDRESS
Analog bar graph gives direct indication elapsed and re- maining playing time.
This bar graph provides a direct visual readout of the progress of the track playback, comparable to the moving needle position on an analog
record. The length of the bar gives the user immediate knowledge of the current location on the track, and the flashing bar display warns of the impending end of track.
SLOT IN
The new disc loading slot mechanism makes it fast and easy to play, change, and remove discs from the player.
Discs are inserted directly, without the need to open doors or trays, mak- ing operation and track selection that much faster.
CUE
Full cueing functions. ?? Back Cue Function
Pressing the CUE button after listening to sound from a cue point returns the pickup to the cue point and al- lows play to restart from there.
The back cue function allows you to return any number of times to a preselected cue point by pressing a single button.
?? Auto Cue Function

FORCED DISC EJECTION
If the eject button does not function or the disc cannot be removed, push- ing the pin provided into the forced ejection hole on the front panel will enable the disc to be removed.
When performing forced ejection, be sure to follow the precautions below.
1Be sure to turn OFF the power of the CD player, and check that the disc has stopped rotating. It takes about 30 seconds for the disc to stop rotating after the power has been turned OFF.
If forced ejection is performed while the disc is rotating;
??As the disc will be ejected outside the CD player rotating, it may hit your finger and cause injuries.
??As the disc will be rotating with the clamp unstable, it may be scratched.
For the above reasons, never attempt to eject the disc forcibly while it is rotating.
2Always use the pin provided (Do not use other objects). The acces- sory forced eject pin can be found embedded in the bottom surface of the player.
When the provided forced eject pin is inserted fully into the forced eject hole on the front panel, the loaded disc is ejected about

7 What is JET?
JET means to change the delay time by rotating the jog dial, thus mixing a short delay with the playback sound. Conventional DJ technique has been to use 2 players, starting the same track simultaneously on both players, then introducing a slight delay on one of the players, mixing the two sounds so as to produce the effect of a "jet engine." This function allows you to produce this sound effect easily using a single player.
7 What is ZIP?
The pitch of the playback sound is changed in accord- ance with the rotation of the jog dial, allowing you to radically change the tonal pitch of the playback sound. When the dial is held rotated in the decreasing direc- tion, a sound can be created virtually indistinguishable from stopping the rotation of an analog record.
7 What is WAH?
When the jog dial is rotated, a filter changing the cutoff frequency is applied to the playback sound, in accord- ance with the amount the dial is rotated. This allows the DJ to extract and play back desired parts from the play- back sound.
Using the HOLD function
Press the HOLD button while the DIGITAL JOG BREAK function is in effect; in the display, the indicator corre- sponding to the selected effect will switch from flashing to steadily lighted, and the amount of effect currently being applied to the sound will remain steady, even if the jog dial is released.
