NOTE:

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15
of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed
and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However,
there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause
harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on,
the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

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. When you find it
damaged, ask your nearest PIONEER authorized
service center or your dealer for a replacement.

Condensation

If the player is moved suddenly from a cold place into a
warm room (in winter, for example) or if the
temperature in the room in which the player is installed
rises suddenly due to a heater, etc., water droplets
(condensation) may form inside (on operating parts and
the lens). When condensation is present, the player will
not operate properly and playback is not possible. Let
the player stand at room temperature for 1 or 2 hours
with the power turned on (the time depends on the
extent of condensation). The water droplets will
dissipate and playback will become possible.
Condensation can also occur in the summer if the
player is exposed to the direct wind from an
air conditioner. If this happens, move the player to a
different place.

S005_A1_En

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).

D3 4 2 2 2a*_A1_En

This product is for general household purposes. Any
failure due to use for other than household purposes

Cautions on 3D Viewing

• If you should experience any fatigue or discomfort while viewing 3D images, stop viewing them.

• Children, particularly those under 6, may be more prone to sensitivity, so guardians should watch for

any signs of fatigue or discomfort.

• When viewing 3D images, rest periodically.
Extended viewing of 3D images without rest periods could cause fatigue or discomfort.

WARNING: Handling the cord on this product or
cords associated with accessories sold with the
product may expose you to chemicals listed on
proposition 65 known to the State of California and
other governmental entities to cause cancer and
birth defect or other reproductive harm.

The Safety of Your Ears is in Your Hands

Get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a
safe level a level that lets the sound come through
clearly 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.

ESTABLISH A SAFE LEVEL:

• Set your volume control at a low setting.

• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it
comfortably and clearly, without distortion.

• Once you have established a comfortable sound
level, set the dial and leave it there.

BE SURE TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING
GUIDELINES:

• Do not turn up the volume so high that you can’t
hear what’s around you.

• Use caution or temporarily discontinue use in
potentially hazardous situations.

• Do not use headphones while operating a motorized
vehicle; the use of headphones may create a traffic
hazard and is illegal in many areas.

•Power cord

•Warranty card

• Software license notice

Putting the batteries in the
remote control

The batteries included with the player have been provided
to allow you to check product operation and may not last
long. We recommend using alkaline batteries that have a
longer life.

WARNING

• Do not use or store batteries in direct sunlight or
other excessively hot place, such as inside a car or
near a heater. This can cause batteries to leak,
overheat, explode or catch fire. It can also reduce the
life or performance of batteries.

Caution

• Do not use a new battery together with an old one.

• When loading the batteries into the remote control,
set them in the proper direction, as indicated by the
polarity marks ( and ).

• When inserting the batteries, make sure not to
damage the springs on the battery’s  terminals.
This can cause batteries to leak or overheat.

• Do not heat batteries, disassemble them, or throw
them into flames or water.

• Batteries may have different voltages, even if they look
similar. Do not use different kinds of batteries
together.

• To prevent leakage of battery fluid, remove the
batteries if you do not plan to use the remote control
for a long period of time (1 month or more). If the fluid
should leak, wipe it carefully off the inside of the case,
then insert new batteries. If a battery should leak and
the fluid should get on your skin, flush it off with large
quantities of water.

• When disposing of used batteries, please comply with
governmental regulations or environmental public
institution’s rules that apply in your country/area.

1 Open the rear cover.

2 Insert (2 x AAA 700 size) batteries that are
supplied.

Insert first from the  side.
