Cleaning the unit's exterior

• Use a polishing cloth or dry cloth to wipe off
dust and dirt. If the surfaces are very dirty,
wipe with a soft cloth dipped in some
neutral cleanser diluted five or six times
with water. Wrung out the cloth well before
wiping then use a dry cloth to wipe again.
• Do not use furniture wax or cleaners. Never
use thinners, benzine or insecticide sprays
or other chemicals on or near this unit since
these chemicals can corrode the surfaces.
• If you use a chemically-treated cleaning
cloth, read the instructions carefully before
use. These cloths may leave smear marks
on half-mirror finish surfaces; if this
happens, finish with a dry cloth.
• Unplug the unit when cleaning.

Cleaning the pickup lens

The DVD 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 CD players are
commercially available, we do not recommend
using them since some may damage the lens.

Problems with condensation

Condensation may form inside the player if it is
brought into a warm room from outside, or if the
temperature of the room rises quickly. Although
the condensation won't damage the player, it
may temporarily impair its performance. For this
reason you should allow it to adjust to the
warmer/cooler temperature for approximately an
hour before switching on the unit.

Don't...
• Place where exposed to high temperatures
or humidity, including near radiators and
other heat-generating appliances.
• Place on a window sill or other place where
the player will be exposed to direct sunlight.
• Use in an excessively dusty or damp
environment.
• Place directly on top of an amplifier, or other
component in your playback system that
becomes hot in use.
• Use near a television or monitor as you may
experience interference-especially if the
television uses an indoor antenna.
• Use close to a room where the player may
be exposed to smoke or steam.
• Use on a thick rug or carpet or cover with
cloth-this may prevent proper cooling of the
unit.
• Place on an unstable surface, or one that is
not large enough to support all four of the
unit's supports.

Moving the player

If you need to move the player, first press
STANDBY/ON on the front panel to turn the
player off. Wait for POWER indicator to turn
orange, then unplug the power cable. Never lift
or move the unit when a disc is playing or is still
spinning as this shift may cause damage.

Power cable caution

Handle the power cable by the plug part. Do not
pull out the plug by tugging the cable. Never
touch the power cable when your hands are wet
as this could cause a short circuit or electrical
shock. Do not place anything on the power cord
that could pinch or damage the cable in any
other way. Never make a knot in the cable or tie it
in a bundle with other cables. Power cables
should be routed so that they are not likely to be
stepped on. A damaged power cable can cause a
fire or give an electric shock. Inspect the cord
periodically for damage or wear. If it needs to be
replaced, ask your nearest Pioneer authorized
service center or your dealer for a replacement.
