Description
his Pioneer Operating Instructions manual is the definitive user guide for the Pioneer ELITE CLD-79 CD CDV LD Player. As part of Pioneer’s prestigious ELITE series, the CLD-79 is a premium, high-fidelity, and high-performance multi-format player capable of handling Compact Disc (CD), Compact Disc Video (CDV), and LaserDisc (LD) media. The player is NTSC standard, designed for the American and Canadian markets, and is positioned as a top-tier component for serious home theater enthusiasts. The manual itself is not a technical service guide, but a set of instructions designed for the general consumer to properly set up, operate, and troubleshoot the device, as indicated by the note: “This player is not suitable for commercial use.” The document underscores the critical importance of safety from the outset, featuring a prominent WARNING: TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE. This commitment to user safety is further detailed with specific instructions for the Canadian model, which includes a caution about using the player with an extension cord, explicitly warning against using a non-polarized plug or one where the blade exposure is not fully prevented, ensuring the integrity of the player’s polarized plug. The manual is structured logically, starting with the necessary preparations—accessories, connections, and basic operation—before delving into the player’s many advanced features. This structure ensures that even novice users can achieve basic operation quickly, while providing the detail required for advanced users to exploit the CLD-79’s full capabilities. The inclusion of sections on remote control system connection, basic connections, and a list of the types of discs that can be played with the unit (Page 7) confirms its role as a complete operational reference. The comprehensive nature of this document makes it an indispensable resource for any owner of the ELITE CLD-79, enabling them to safely install, correctly operate, and fully appreciate the player’s premium video and audio output quality.
