Cautions on use
Moving the player
If you need to move this unit, first remove the disc if there’s one
loaded, and close the disc tray. Next, press STANDBY/ON to
switch the power to standby, checking that the POWER OFF
indication on the front panel display goes off. Wait at least 10
seconds. Lastly, disconnect the power cord.
Never lift or move the unit during playback — discs rotate at a high
speed and may be damaged.
Place of installation
Select a stable place near the TV and AV system to which the unit is
connected.
Do not place the player on top of a TV or color monitor. Keep it away
from cassette decks or other components easily affected by
magnetism.
Avoid the following types of places:
• Places exposed to direct sunlight
• Humid or poorly ventilated places
• Extremely hot or cold places
• Places subject to vibration
•Dusty places
• Places exposed to soot, steam or heat (in kitchens, etc.)
Do not place objects on top
Do not place objects on top of the player.
Do not obstruct the ventilation holes
Do not use the player on a shaggy rug, bed, or sofa, and do not cover
the player with a cloth, etc. Doing so will prevent heat dissipation
and could lead to damage.
Keep away from heat
Do not place the player on top of an amplifier or other device
generating heat. When installing in a rack, to avoid the heat
generated by the amplifier and other devices, place it on a shelf
below the amplifier whenever possible.
Turn the power off when not
using the player
Depending on the conditions of the TV broadcast signals, striped
patterns may appear on the screen when the TV is turned on while
the player’s power is turned on. This is not a malfunction with the
player or TV. If this happens, turn the player’s power off. In the same
way, noise may be heard in the sound of a radio.
Condensation
If the player is moved suddenly from a cold place into a warm room
(in winter, for example) or if the temperature in the room in which
the player is installed rises suddenly due to a heater, etc., water
droplets (condensation) may form inside (on operating parts and the
lens). When condensation is present, the player will not operate
properly and playback is not possible. Let the player stand at room
temperature for 1 or 2 hours with the power turned on (the time
depends on the extent of condensation). The water droplets will
dissipate and playback will become possible.
Condensation can also occur in the summer if the player is exposed
to the direct wind from an air-conditioner. If this happens, move the
player to a different place.
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.
Unplug the power cord from the power outlet when cleaning the
player.
Caution for when the unit is
installed in a rack with a glass
door
Do not press the OPEN/CLOSE on the remote control to open the
disc tray while the glass door is closed. The door will hamper the
movement of the disc tray, and the unit could be damaged.
Cleaning the pickup lens
The player’s lens should not become dirty in normal use, but if for
some reason it should malfunction due to dust or dirt, consult your
nearest Pioneer-authorized service center. Although lens cleaners
for players are commercially available, we advise against using
them since some may damage the lens.
