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.

WARNING: This product contains chemicals known

to the State of California and other governmental entities to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.

D36-P5_C1_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. When you find it damaged, ask your nearest PIONEER authorized service center or your dealer for a replacement.

S002*_A1_En

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.

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.

• AAA 700 size manganese batteries x 2

•Power cord

•Warranty card

• Software license notice

• Operating instructions (this document)

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.

• 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.

• Store small parts out of the reach of children and infants. If accidentally swallowed, contact a doctor immediately.

Caution

• The remote control setting may be restored to the default after the batteries are replaced. If this happens, reset it (pages 25 and 50).

• 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.

Insert first from the  side.

3 Close the rear cover.

Close securely (a click should be heard).
