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
fire or give you an electrical shock. Check the power cord regu-
lary. When you find it damaged, ask your nearest PIONEER auth-
orized service center or your dealer for a replacement.
