  If the sound from your Pioneer CD Player is distorted or noisy, ensure that you're connected to the audio mixer's LINE INPUT terminals and not the MIC terminals. Clean any dirt from the pin plugs and amplifier terminals. Also, try switching off any nearby TV sets, moving the player away from them, or plugging the player into a separate outlet to avoid interference.

  If the back cue function cannot be carried out even though the CUE button is pressed in playback mode on your Pioneer CD Player, you may not have set the cue point yet. Also, if you are playing MP3s, back cue is only possible within the same folder.

  If pressing the OUT/OUT ADJUST button doesn't start loop play on your Pioneer CD Player, it's likely that no cue points (loop-in points) have been set. Set a cue point. Also, looping is only possible within the same track that has a cue point set when playing MP3s.
