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.

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 24 and 49).

• 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.
