Maintenance Of External Surfaces - Pioneer M-AX10 Operating Instruction

Dear Customer:
Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you've just purchased is only
the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it's time to consider how you can
maximize the fun and excitement your equipment offers. This manufacturer and
the Electronic Industries Association's Consumer Electronics Group want you to
get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the
sound come through loud and clear without annoying blaring ordistortion-and,
most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing "comfort level" adapts to
higher volumes of sound. So what sounds "normal" can actually be loud and
harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe
level BEFORE your hearing adapts.
To establish a safe level:
• Start your volume control at a low setting.
• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and
without distortion.
Once you have established a comfortable sound level:
• Set the dial and leave it there.
Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss in
the future. After all, we want you listening for a lifetime.
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 such 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.

Maintenance of External Surfaces

• Use a polishing cloth or dry cloth to wipe
off dust and dirt.
• When the surfaces are dirty, wipe with a
soft cloth dipped in some neutral cleanser
diluted five or six times with water, and
wrung out well, and then wipe again with
a dry cloth. Do not use furniture wax or
cleaners.
• Never use thinners, benzine, insecticide
sprays or other chemicals on or near this
unit, since these will corrode the surfaces.
