Checking what's in the
box
Thank you for buying this Pioneer product.
Before starting to set up your new CD recorder,
please check that you have received the
following supplied accessories:
· Stand A (mounting bracket)
· Stand B (table-top stand)
· Optical cord
· Warranty card
· These operating instructions
Using this manual
This manual is for the PDR-F10 CD Recorder.
It is split into two sections; the first covers
setting up, and the second, using the recorder.
Set up, which starts here, shows you how to
install and connect up the recorder to the rest
of your system.
In the second section of the manual, starting
on page 11, you'll learn how to use every
feature of the recorder, from basic playback to
finalizing a recordable CD. The final part of
the manual provides a list of display
messages, a troubleshooting page, and
technical specifications.
Using the remote control
The PDR-F10 is designed for use with the XC-
F10 CD tuner, and can be controlled directly
using the remote control supplied with the
main unit. Since there is no sensor on the
recorder, the remote must be used within the
operating range of the remote sensor on the
XC-F10. See Using the remote control in the
main operating instructions for more on this.
Hints on installation
We want you to enjoy using this unit for years
to come, so please bear in mind the following
points when choosing a suitable location for
it:
Do...
Use in a well-ventilated room.
Place on a solid, flat, level surface, such as
a table, shelf or stereo rack.
Don't...
# Use in a place exposed to high tempera-
tures or humidity, including near
radiators and other heat-generating
appliances.
# Place on a window sill or other place
where the player will be exposed to direct
sunlight.
# Use in an excessively dusty or damp
environment.
# Place directly on top of an amplifier, or
other component in your stereo system
that becomes hot in use.
# Use near a television or monitor as you
may experience interference--especially
if the television uses an indoor antenna.
# Use in a kitchen or other room where the
player may be exposed to smoke or steam.
# Use on a thick rug or carpet, or cover with
cloth--this may prevent proper cooling of
the unit.
# Place on an unstable surface, or one that
is not large enough to support all four of
the unit's feet.

Avoiding condensation
problems
Condensation may form inside the player if it
is brought into a warm room from outside, or
if the temperature of the room rises quickly.
Although the condensation won't damage the
player, it may temporarily impair its
performance. For this reason you should leave
it to adjust to the warmer temperature for
about an hour before switching on and using.

Maintaining your CD
recorder
To clean your CD recorder, wipe with a soft,
dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, wet a soft cloth
with a mild detergent solution made by
diluting 1 part detergent to 5 or 6 parts water,
wring well, then wipe off the dirt. Use a dry
cloth to wipe the surface dry. Do not use
volatile liquids such as benzene and thinner
which may damage the surfaces.
Moving the unit
If you need to move the unit, first switch it off
and unplug from the wall outlet. Never lift or
move the unit during playback or
recording -- the disc rotates at a high speed
and may be damaged.
CD lens cleaner
The CD recorder's pickup lens should not
become dirty in normal use, but if for some
reason it should malfunction due to dirt or
dust, consult your nearest Pioneer authorized
service center. Although lens cleaners for CD
recorders are commercially available, we do
not recommend using them since some may
damage the lens.
Storing optical cable
When storing optical cable,
coil loosely as shown at
right. The cable may be
damaged if bent sharply
around corners.
