The control jack

If you have multiple Pioneer brand devices, and if they have

CONTROL IN/OUT jacks, you can centrally control them

through the remote controller sensor on the amplifier, for

example. By connecting with monaural miniplug cables

(without resistors) as shown in the diagram, then even if this

unit and other devices are put in locations where they

cannot receive the remote controller signal, you can still use

the remote controller to control this unit or other devices by

pointing the remote controller at the remote controller

sensor on the amplifier, for example.

• Also make sure to connect with the analog audio cable.

Centralized control cannot work correctly with only the

control jack connection.

• The remote controller sensor on this unit stops working if

you connect a monaural miniplug cable (without resistor)

to the CONTROL IN jack of this unit.

• The remote controller sensors on the other devices stop

working if you connect a monaural miniplug cable

(without resistor) to the CONTROL OUT jack of this unit.

• If a Pioneer brand network player and amplifier is

connected by the CONTROL IN/OUT jack, you can

perform basic operations on this unit, the network player,

and amplifier on a smart phone app over a network.

Troubleshooting

Others

Before starting the procedure

When operation is unstable, problems may be solved by

simply turning the power on or to standby or disconnecting/

connecting the power cord, rather than reviewing settings

and operations. Try the simple measures on both the unit

and the connected device. If the problem isn't fixed after

referring to "Troubleshooting", resetting the unit to the

status at the time of shipment may solve the problem.

Resetting the unit (this resets the unit settings to

the default)

• The disc tray opens if you insert a disc that this unit does

not support.

■ Audio

Sound is interrupted

• Narrowing the lock range too much with the LOCK

RANGE ADJUST setting can cause interruptions to

sound and also may cause noise. Sound interruptions

caused by adjustments to the lock range are not covered

by our guarantees of operation. Listen to some audio

while adjusting the lock range.

There is no digital sound

• Set "DIGITAL OUT" in the SETUP menu to "ON".

• The audio of SACD and DSD or input from USB DAC is

■ Discs that can be played

Precautions for Playback

• Compact discs (CDs) with the following logo on the label

surface can be used.

• Note that some discs may not play back because of the

disc characteristics, scratches, contamination or the

recording state.

Playing MQA

This unit includes the MQA (Master Quality Authenticated)

technology, which enables playback of MQA audio files and

streams, delivering the sound of the original master

recording.

This unit is a CD player that can recognise an MQA-CD.

The built-in MQA decoder will restore the high-resolution

signal heard in the studio and confirm it, using the

authentication signature.

Visit www.mqa.co.uk/customer/mqacd for more information.

‘MQA’ or ‘MQA.’ indicates that the product is decoding and

playing an MQA stream or file, and denotes provenance to

ensure that the sound is identical to that of the source

material. ‘MQA.’ indicates it is playing an MQA Studio file,

which has either been approved in the studio by the artist/

producer or has been verified by the copyright owner.

Playing hybrid SACD

Hybrid SACD consist of two layers; the SACD layer and the

CD layer. Press CD/SACD to select the layer you want to

listen to.

Playing DualDisks

"DualDisk" is a disc with video and audio conforming to the

DVD standard on one side, and audio that can be played on

a CD player on the other.

On the audio side that is not the DVD side, play may not

always be possible due to the fact that the disc does not

conform to the physical specifications of standard CDs.

Operations during play

Direct search does not work while playing discs with music

data.

Types of discs that cannot be played on this unit

DVD Video, DVD Audio, CD-G, Video CD, DTS-CD

Notes on discs

• Be careful not to catch your hand or fingers when

opening or closing the disc tray.

• Never use discs which have an unusual shape (such as

hearts or octagons). These types of discs could jam and

damage the unit.

• Some audio CDs with copy-control functionality do not

comply with official CD standards. These are special

discs and cannot be played with this unit.

• Do not use discs with residue from cellophane tape,

rental discs with labels which are peeling off, or discs with

decorative labels. This type of disc could get stuck in the

unit, or could damage the unit.

• Do not leave a disc having a label printed with an inkjet

printer in the unit for a long time. The disc could get stuck

in the unit, or could damage the unit.

■ Cleaning the player

• Normally, wipe the player with a soft cloth. For tough dirt,

apply some neutral detergent diluted in 5 to 6 parts water

to a soft cloth, wring out thoroughly, wipe off the dirt, then

wipe again with a dry cloth.

• Note that getting alcohol, thinner, benzene or insecticide

on the player could cause the print and coating to peel

off. Also, avoid leaving rubber or vinyl products in contact

with the player for long periods of time, as this could

damage the cabinet.

• When using chemical-impregnated wipes, etc., read the

wipe’s cautions carefully.

• When dust attached on the disc tray is hard to remove,

apply an adhesive tape, etc. to remove the dust.

■ Precautions when moving the unit

When moving the unit, remove any discs in it and close the

disc tray. Then press 8 STANDBY/ON on the main unit,

wait for 10 seconds after [OFF] disappears from the display,

and then unplug the power cord. Moving the unit while a

disc is still in it may cause damage.

■ Condensation

Drops of water can form inside this unit if it is taken from a

cold place to a warm room or when a cold room is rapidly

warmed by a heater. This is called condensation. This may

not only cause the unit to malfunction, but it can also

damage the disc or parts of the unit. We recommend

removing discs from the unit if it is not to be used for a

while. If there is a possibility that condensation has formed,

unplug the power cord and allow the unit to stand for at

least 3 hours at room temperature.
