D58-5-2-2a_A1_En

WARNING

This equipment is not waterproof. To prevent a fire or shock hazard, do not place any container filled with liquid near this equipment (such as a vase or flower pot) or expose it to dripping, splashing, rain or moisture.

D3-4-2-1-3_A1_En

WARNING

Before plugging in for the first time, read the following section carefully.

The voltage of the available power supply differs according to country or region. Be sure that the power supply voltage of the area where this unit will be used meets the required voltage (e.g., 230 V or 120 V) written on the rear panel.

D3-4-2-1-4*_A1_En

VENTILATION CAUTION

When installing this unit, make sure to leave space around the unit for ventilation to improve heat radiation (at least 10 cm at top, 10 cm at rear, and 10 cm at each side).

WARNING

Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation to ensure reliable operation of the product, and to protect it from overheating. To prevent fire hazard, the openings should never be blocked or covered with items (such as newspapers, table-cloths, curtains) or by operating the equipment on thick carpet or a bed. D3-4-2-1-7b*_A1_En

If the AC plug of this unit does not match the AC outlet you want to use, the plug must be removed and appropriate one fitted. Replacement and mounting of an AC plug on the power supply cord of this unit should be performed only by qualified service personnel. If connected to an AC outlet, the cut-off plug can cause severe electrical shock. Make sure it is properly disposed of after removal. The equipment should be disconnected by removing the mains plug from the wall socket when left unused for a long period of time (for example, when on vacation).

D3-4-2-2-1a_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

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.

NOTE

Operation and functions of BD/DVD-Video discs may differ from the explanations in this manual. Furthermore, some functions

• may not be usable, at the disc manufacturer’s discretion. “Finalize” refers to a recorder processing a recorded disc so that it will play in other players/recorders as well as this player.

• Only finalized discs will play back in this player. (This player does not have a function to finalize discs.) Pioneer cannot guarantee playback compatibility for all self-recorded BD-discs because Blu-ray is a new and evolving format.

• The playback compatibility will be affected by your choice of BD-recorder, BD-disc and BD-burning software. Please always ensure you are using the latest software versions on all units and contact the individual manufacturers for further help if required. To avoid inconveniences, please check the playback compatibility of your self-recorded disc before you purchase this BD-player. For maximum playback compatibility of self-recorded BD-discs Pioneer recommends that the BDMV/BDAV standards are used. If a playback issue occurs after purchase, please download the latest software version for your BD-player from the Pioneer internet page or ask your Pioneer-Dealer. This BD-player uses the latest technology available at the time of development and cannot guarantee support for future enhancements or changes to the standard.

About Discs

Disc Precautions

Be Careful of Scratches and Dust

•

BD, DVD and CD discs are sensitive to dust, fingerprints and especially scratches. A scratched disc may not be able to be played back. Handle discs with care and store them in a safe place.

Proper Disc Storage

Place the disc in the center of the disc case and store the case and disc upright.

Avoid storing discs in locations subject to direct sunlight, close to heating appliances or in locations of high humidity.

Do not drop discs or subject them to strong vibrations or impacts.

Avoid storing discs in locations where there are large amounts of dust or moisture.

Handling Precautions

•

If the surface is soiled, wipe gently with a soft, damp (water only) cloth. When wiping discs, always move the cloth from the center hole toward the outer edge.

Do not use record cleaning sprays, benzene, thinner, static

• electricity prevention liquids or any other solvent. Do not touch the surface.

• Do not stick paper or adhesive labels to the disc.

• If the playing surface of a disc is soiled or scratched, the

• Player may decide that the disc is incompatible and eject the disc tray, or it may fail to play the disc correctly.

Cleaning the Pick Up Lens

Never use commercially available cleaning discs. The use

• of these discs can damage the lens. Request the nearest service center approved by Pioneer to

• clean the lens.

Warnings about dew formation

Condensation may form on pick up lens or disc in the

• following conditions:

Immediately after a heater has been turned on.

−

In a steamy or very humid room.

−

When the Player is suddenly moved from a cold

−

environment to a warm one.

When condensation forms:

It becomes difficult for the Player to read the signals

• on the disc and prevents the Player from operating properly.
