For Proper and Long Use of This Unit

DO NOT MOVE THE UNIT DURING PLAYBACK
During playback, the disc rotates at high speed. Do NOT
lift or move the unit during playback. Doing so may
damage the disc.
WHEN MOVING THE UNIT
When changing places of installation or packing the unit
for moving, be sure to remove the disc and return the
disc table to its original position in the player.
Press POWER on the front panel to turn the player off,
and then disconnect the power cord.
Moving this unit with the disc loaded may result in
damage to this unit.
INSTALLATION
• Select a stable place to the side of a TV set or stereo
system to be connected to the unit.
• When using the unit with a stereo system, install the
speakers a little bit away from the TV.
• Do NOT install the unit on top of a TV or color
monitor. Install the unit away from equipment that
may be affected by magnetism, such as a cassette
deck.
• Do NOT place objects on top of the unit.
AVOID INSTALLING IN A PLACE THAT IS:
• Exposed to direct sunlight
• Exposed to humidity or where ventilation is poor
• Extremely hot or cold
• Exposed to vibration
• Exposed to dust
• Exposed to oily smoke, steam or heat (for example, a
kitchen)
DO NOT BLOCK VENTS
Do NOT use the player on top of a long-fibered carpet,
bed or sofa, and do not cover it with a cloth, etc. This
will prevent heat radiation and could result in damage.
AVOID HEAT
Do NOT place the unit on equipment which generates
heat, such as an amplifier.
When installing the unit in a rack, place it on the lowest
shelf possible (however, not where it is exposed to dust)
and separated from the amplifier to avoid the heat
generated by the amplifier or other audio equipment.
LENS CLEANER
The player's pickup lens should not become dirty in
normal use, but if for some reason it should malfunction
due to soiling, contact your nearest PIONEER authorized
service center. Lens cleaners are commercially available,
but special care should be exercised in their use since
some may cause damage to the lens.
CAUTION: WHEN PLACING THE UNIT IN A STEREO
RACK WITH GLASS DOORS
Be sure there is ample space between the unit and the
glass doors when opening the disc table using the
remote control. If the disc table opens against strong
resistance, such as a closed glass door, damage to the
unit may result.
CONDENSATION
Moisture may form in the operating section of the player
if the player is brought from cool surroundings into a
warm room or if the temperature of the room rises
suddenly. When this happens, the player's performance
will be impaired.
To prevent this, let the player stand in its new
surroundings for about an hour before switching it on, or
make sure that the room temperature rises gradually.
Condensation may also form during the summer if the
player is exposed to the breeze from an air conditioner.
In such cases, change the location of the player.
SWITCH POWER TO STANDBY (OR OFF) WHEN NOT
USING THE UNIT
Depending on the strength of the
TV or radio broadcast signal, having
the TV or radio on while power to
the unit is on may result in stripes
on the TV screen or noise.
However, this is not a malfunction
of this unit or the TV or radio. In
such a case, switch the power of
the unit to standby (off).
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 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.
NOTES ON USING OPTICAL CABLES
• Do not route cords around sharp angles. When
storing, wind the cords so that they have a diameter
of at least 15 cm (6 in.).
• When connecting, push all the way into the terminal.
• Do not use cords with a length of over 3 m (11 ft.).
• If moisture or dust has collected on the plug, wipe it
with a soft cloth before connecting.
