that this unit be connected to an Uninterruptible Power
Supply (UPS).

7 Precautions Regarding Installation and Use
∞ Do not subject the unit to vibration and impacts. Subjecting
the unit to such vibrations or impacts during operation is
particularly to be avoided, since malfunctions may result.
∞ Do not install unit in unstable locations, or locations
exposed to vibration.
∞ Always install in level horizontal position.
∞ Do not block the rear cooling fan and front lower air intakes.
Malfunctions may result from attempting to use the unit
with the fan or vents blocked.
∞ Two dust filters are installed in the air intakes on the unit’s
front lower panel (see page 14). With time, the air filters
will gradually become soiled with dust. If the unit is
subjected to continued use with dirty filters, the unit pay
not perform to its full, and malfunctions may occur. As a
result, please replace the filters at regular intervals (see
the appended “Air Filter Replacement Instructions and
Precautions”).

press the keyboard’s [ESC] key.
÷ Also, When restarting after a shutdown, the wait
several seconds after the power indicator (see page

Precautions Regarding Built-In Hard
Disk Drive (HDD)
The built-in hard disk drive (HDD) incorporates high-precision
technology, and recorded contents may be damaged or lost
under certain conditions of use. Take precautions regarding
the following:
7 Important Recordings
If the built-in hard disk drive malfunctions, contents previously
recorded on the drive may be lost. Important recordings should
not be left permanently on the HDD, but preserved as DVD-
Video discs by means of DVD-R/RW recording. Pioneer
disclaims any responsible for loss of recorded data or other
collateral damage arising from any malfunction, including
failure of the HDD at the end of its operating lifetime.
Pioneer disclaims all responsibility for the integrity
of contents recorded on hard disk drives or DVD
discs, and for any damages resulting from the loss
of such contents.
∞ Do not use the unit in environments exposed to high
temperature or humidity. Also, avoid using the unit in
locations exposed to sudden changes of temperature,
since condensation may occur on internal parts, leading
to possible damage to the hard disk drive (HDD) and other
malfunctions. Consult the section “About Condensation”
on page 5.
∞ When power is turned ON, do not turn off the rear panel’s
power switch, disconnect the power plug, or trip the power
breaker to the power outlet.
∞ Do not move the unit when the power is turned ON, or
immediately after turning the power OFF. When moving
the unit is required, follow these guidelines:
1. Turn power OFF.
Press the STANDBY/ON switch so that the power
indicator appears orange, then wait at least two
minutes.
2. Turn off the main power switch on the rear panel.
3. Disconnect the power cord from its outlet.
4. Move the unit.
¶ In the event of a malfunction, removal of the entire unit
may be necessary for repair (depending on the kind of
malfunction). In such cases, consult your service dealer
to have the unit removed by professional installation
personnel. Failure to have the unit removed by professional
installation personnel may result in refusal of repair service.
7 Usable Lifetime of the Hard Disk Drive
∞ The hard disk drive (HDD) is a high precision device, and
when subjected to severe environmental or usage
conditions, may reach the end of its operating lifetime in
only a few years.
∞ Frequent symptoms occurring when the HDD approaches
the end of its lifetime including “part or all of the playback
image will repeatedly enter pause mode,” or “block noise
(mosaic distortion) and other image distortion will occur”.
The HDD may also reach the end of its lifetime even
without these symptoms occurring.
∞ When the HDD reaches the end of its operating lifetime,
any data recorded on it may become unrecoverable. When
the HDD malfunctions at the end of its operating lifetime,
it must be replaced. Inquire your Pioneer dealer or Pioneer
Electronics (USA) Inc. Customer Support Division listed at
the end of this manual.
(In the event of HDD failure, any data recorded on the
HDD cannot be recovered.)
