If a filter cover is uneven, dust and other debris can enter the PRV-LX1. Attempting to replace the
cover when the filter is protruding from the air intake may damage the unit. Do not power on the
PRV-LX1 until both the filter and cover are seated properly.
DVD Drive Usage Check/Replacement
Periodically check the READ/WRITE HOURS on the DVD drives (DVD 1 and DVD 2). The PRV-LX1
drives are designed for reliability and high performance. However, operating environments, especially
those that are dusty or poorly ventilated, can contribute to DVD drive failure. If your recorder is in a
mission-critical installation where any downtime is unacceptable, we strongly urge you purchase
spare DVD drives for quick replacement if necessary. Please be aware that replacing a DVD drive
yourself means removing the recorder’s cover which voids the warranty.
The Pioneer Electronics part number for a replacement DVD Writer is DXX2532. This model is
designed specifically as a replacement drive for the PRV-LX1. Installing any other DVD drive in the
recorder causes operating errors. To order a replacement drive DXX2532, call Pioneer Electronics
Service Parts department at (800) 228-7221 or order on-line at:

To replace a DVD Writer, you need to remove the top cover and unplug all cables from the drive.
Take care when installing the drive so that no cables are pinched and the tray panel is mounted
properly. For more information about drive replacement, refer to the

If for any reason such as your unit is still in warranty or you are uncomfortable with this procedure,
contact an authorized Pioneer service representative before attempting to replace a drive.
Note: The DXX2532 cannot be used as a second drive if your PRV-LX1 recorder is a single-drive
model. The replacement drive does not include parts critical to a second drive installation. If
you own a single drive version PRV-LX1 and wish to add a second drive, please contact your
Pioneer representative for ordering assistance.
