of 4 inches or more on all sides and above so that air can flow
around the device. A room temperature of no higher than 95°F
is recommended. If installation is requiredin any other envirnoment,
ensure that the air temperature remains below 95°F when the unit

The player's pickup lens remains clean during normal use but if it
malfunctions due to soiling, contact your nearest Pioneer Authorized
Service Center. Lens cleaners are commercially available, however,
special care should be exercised in their use since some may cause
damage to the lens.
Condensation

temperature changes suddeely, moisture may gather inside of the unit.
When this happens, the player's performance becomes affected.
To prevent this, let the player stand in its new surroundings for an
hour or more before switching it on or make raise the room temperature
gradually.
Condensation may also form during the summer if the player is placed
within the breeze from an air conditioner. In such cases, move the unit
to another location.
