ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
For Proper and Long Use of
This Unit
Do not move the unit during playback
During playback, the disc rotates at high speed. Do NOT
lift or move the unit during playback. Doing so may
damage the disc.
When moving the unit
When changing places of installation or packing the unit
for moving, be sure to remove the disc and return the
disc table to its original position in the player. Then,
press STANDBY/ON and switch the power to
standby. Check that the “–OFF–” indication on the
display goes off, then disconnect the power cord.
Moving this unit with the disc loaded may result in
damage to this unit.
Installation
Select a stable place to the side of a TV set or stereo
system to be connected to the unit.
When using the unit with a stereo system, install the
speakers a little bit away from the TV.
Do NOT install the unit on top of a TV or color monitor.
Install the unit away from equipment that may be
affected by magnetism, such as a cassette deck.
Do NOT place objects on top of the unit.
Avoid installing in a place that is:
Exposed to direct sunlight
Exposed to humidity or where ventilation is poor
Extremely hot or cold
Exposed to vibration
Exposed to dust
Exposed to oily smoke, steam or heat (for example, a
kitchen)
Do not block vents
Do NOT use the player on top of a long-fibered carpet,
bed or sofa, and do not cover it with a cloth, etc. This
will prevent heat radiation and could result in damage.
Avoid heat
Do NOT place the unit on equipment which generates
heat, such as an amplifier.
When installing the unit in a rack, place it on the lowest
shelf possible (however, not where it is exposed to dust)
and separated from the amplifier to avoid the heat
generated by the amplifier or other audio equipment.
CAUTION: WHEN PLACING THE UNIT IN A
STEREO RACK WITH GLASS DOORS
Be sure there is ample space between the unit and
the glass doors when opening the disc table using
the remote control. If the disc table opens against
strong resistance, such as a closed glass door,
damage to the unit may result.
Lens cleaner
The player's pickup lens should not become dirty in
normal use, but if for some reason it should malfunction
due to soiling, contact your nearest PIONEER authorized
service center. Lens cleaners are commercially available,
but special care should be exercised in their use since
some may cause damage to the lens.
Condensation
Moisture may form in the operating section of the player
if the player is brought from cool surroundings into a
warm room or if the temperature of the room rises
suddenly. When this happens, the player’s performance
will be impaired.
To prevent this, let the player stand in its new
surroundings for about an hour before switching it on, or
make sure that the room temperature rises gradually.
Condensation may also form during the summer if the
player is exposed to
the breeze from an
air conditioner. In
such cases, change
the location of the
player.
Switch POWER to STANDBY when not using
the unit
Depending on the strength of the TV
or radio broadcast signal, having the
TV or radio on while power to the
unit is on may result in stripes on the
TV screen or noise. However, this is
not a malfunction of this unit or the
TV or radio. In such a case, switch the power of the unit
to standby.
Power-cord caution
Handle the power cord by the plug. Do not pull out the
plug by tugging the cord and never touch the power cord
when your hands are wet as this could cause a short
circuit or electric shock. Do not place the unit, a piece of
furniture, etc., on the power cord, or pinch the cord.
Never make a knot in the cord or tie it with other cords.
The power cords should be routed in such a way that
they are not likely to be stepped on. A damaged power
cord can cause a fire or give you an electrical shock.
Check the power cord once in a while. When you find it
damaged, ask your nearest PIONEER authorized service
center or your dealer for a replacement.
Notes on using optical cables
Do not route cords around sharp
angles. When storing, wind the cords
so that they have a diameter of at least
15 cm (6 in.).
When connecting, push all the way
into the terminal.
Do not use cords with a length of over
3 m.
If moisture or dust has collected on
the plug, wipe it with a soft cloth
before connecting.
Cleaning the player
To clean the PLAYER, wipe with a soft, dry cloth. For
stubborn dirt, wet a soft cloth with a mild detergent
solution made by diluting one part detergent to 5 or 6
parts water, wring well, then wipe off the dirt. Also use a
dry cloth to wipe the surface dry. Do not use volatile
liquids such as benzene and thinner which are harmful to
the unit.
