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).
Operating Environment
Operating environment temperature and humidity: +5 °C to +35 °C (+41 °F to +95 °F); less than 85 %RH (cooling vents not blocked)

D3-4-2-1-7c*_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
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 (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_A1_En
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
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.
•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.
01
•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.

About the PQLS function
PQLS (Precision Quartz Lock System) is a digital audio transfer control technology using the HDMI control function. The player’s output signals are controlled from the AV receiver to achieve high sound quality playback using the receiver’s quartz oscillator. This eliminates the influence of the jitter generated during signal transfer which can adversely affect the sound quality.
•This player supports the functions below.
–The “PQLS 2ch Audio” function that is activated when playing music CDs (CD-DAs)
–The “PQLS Multi Surround” function that is activated when playing all discs (BDs, DVDs, etc.) with linear PCM audio output
–The “PQLS Bitstream” function that is activated when playing with bitstream audio output
•The various PQLS functions are activated when a Pioneer AV receiver supporting the PQLS functions is connected directly to the HDMI OUT terminal with an HDMI cable and the player’s settings are set as shown below (page 43).
Control: On
Precision Audio: AUTO or HDMI (PQLS) (BDP-LX88 only)
•Also refer to the AV receiver’s operating instructions.
•See the Pioneer website for AV receivers supporting the PQLS function.
Caution
•The PQLS function may stop working when the video output resolution is switched. The PQLS function will start working again once playback is stopped then restarted.
•Turn on the power of the AV receiver connected to the HDMI OUT terminal, then start playback of the disc.
