CAUTION
The STANDBY/ON switch on this unit will not completely shut off all power from the AC outlet. Since the power cord serves as the main disconnect device for the unit, you will need to unplug it from the AC outlet to shut down all power. Therefore, make sure the unit has been installed so that the power cord can be easily unplugged from the AC outlet in case of an accident. To avoid fire hazard, the power cord should also be unplugged from the AC outlet when left unused for a long period of time (for example, when on vacation).

Wash hands after handling
This product is for general household purposes. Any failure due to use for other than household purposes (such as long-term use for business purposes in a restaurant or use in a car or ship) and which requires repair will be charged for even during the warranty period.
K041_En
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. If you find it damaged, contact the Pioneer service center on the back cover, or your dealer for a replacement.

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 or distortion-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.
We Want You Listening For A Lifetime
Since hearing damage from loud noise is often undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group recommend you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise. This list of sound levels is included for your protection.
Decibel Level Example
30 Quiet library, soft whispers 40
Living room, refrigerator, bedroom away from traffic 50 Light traffic, normal conversation, quiet office 60 Air conditioner at 20 feet, sewing machine 70 Vacuum cleaner, hair dryer, noisy restaurant 80
Average city traffic, garbage disposals, alarm clock
at two feet.
THE FOLLOWING NOISES CAN BE DANGEROUS UNDER CONSTANT EXPOSURE
90
Subway, motorcycle, truck traffic, lawn mower
100 Garbage truck, chain saw, pneumatic drill 120 Rock band concert in front of speakers,
thunderclap
140 Gunshot blast, jet plane 180 Rocket launching pad
Information courtesy of the Deafness Research Foundation.
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.

About the HDMI High Speed Transmission
This player outputs 1080/60p and Deep Color video signals. If your TV supports 1080/60p or Deep Color signals, use a High Speed HDMI™ cable in order to take advantage of the maximum performance the player and TV can offer. Also set HDMI High Speed Transmission to On (page 39).
High Speed HDMI™ cables are tested to carry signals up to 1080p. 1080/24p, 1080/60i, 1080/60p and 720/60p video signals that are capable of Deep Color can also be carried.
Note
•Set HDMI High Speed Transmission to Off when using an HDMI cable other than a High Speed HDMI™ cable (a Standard HDMI™ cable).
• The following restrictions apply when HDMI High Speed Transmission is set to Off:
–Deep Color signals are not output. –If the output video resolution is set to Auto, the
signals are output with a resolution of 1080/60i when TV’s preferred resolution is 1080/60p.
– When the output video resolution is set to 480i or
480p, Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio audio signals are output as Dolby Digital, DTS Digital Surround or linear PCM signals. 96 kHz or 192 kHz multi-channel audio signals are output as linear PCM 2-channel audio signals (page 47).
• When an HDMI cable with a built-in equalizer is connected, it may not operate properly.
When connected to a DVI device
• It is not possible to connect DVI devices (computer displays, for example) that are not compatible with HDCP. HDCP is a specification to
protect audiovisual content across the DVI/HDMI interface.
• No audio signals are output. Connect using an audio cable, etc.
•This player is designed for connection with HDMI- compatible devices. When connected to a DVI device, it may not operate properly depending on the DVI device.
