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.

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.

If you need to move this unit, first remove the disc if there’s one loaded, and close the disc tray. Next, press  STANDBY/ON to switch the power to standby, checking that the POWER OFF indication on the front panel display goes off. Wait at least 10 seconds. Lastly, disconnect the power cord.

Never lift or move the unit during playback — discs rotate at a high speed and may be damaged.

Place of installation

Select a stable place near the TV and AV system to which the unit is connected.

Do not place the player on top of a TV or color monitor. Keep it away from cassette decks or other components easily affected by magnetism.

Avoid the following types of places:

• Places exposed to direct sunlight

• Humid or poorly ventilated places

• Extremely hot or cold places

• Places subject to vibration

• Places in which there is much dust or cigarette smoke

• Places exposed to soot, steam or heat (in kitchens, etc.)

 Do not place objects on top

Do not place objects on top of the player.

 Do not obstruct the ventilation holes

Do not use the player on a shaggy rug, bed, or sofa, and do not cover the player with a cloth, etc. Doing so will prevent heat dissipation and could lead to damage.

 Keep away from heat

Do not place the player on top of an amplifier or other device generating heat. When installing in a rack, to avoid the heat generated by the amplifier and other devices, place it on a shelf below the amplifier whenever possible.

Turn the power off when not using the player

Depending on the conditions of the TV broadcast signals, striped patterns may appear on the screen when the TV is turned on while the player’s power is turned on. This is not a malfunction with the player or TV. If this happens, turn the player’s power off. In the same way, noise may be heard in the sound of a radio.

Condensation

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.

Cleaning the player

Normally, wipe the player with a soft cloth. For tough dirt, apply some neutral detergent diluted in 5 to 6 parts water to a soft cloth, wring out thoroughly, wipe off the dirt, then wipe again with a dry cloth.

Note that getting alcohol, thinner, benzene or insecticide on the player could cause the print and coating to peel off. Also, avoid leaving rubber or vinyl products in contact with the player for long periods of time, as this could damage the cabinet.

 Storing discs

Always store discs in their cases, and place the cases vertically, avoiding places exposed to high temperatures or humidity, direct sunlight or extremely low temperatures.

Be sure to read the cautions included with the disc.

 Condensation on discs

If the disc is moved suddenly from a cold place into a warm room (in winter, for example), water droplets (condensation) may form on the disc surface. Discs will not play properly if there is condensation on them. Carefully wipe off the water droplets from the disc surface before using the disc.

 Cleaning discs

It may not be possible to play the disc if there are fingerprints or dust on it. In this case, using a cleaning cloth, etc., to wipe the disc gently from the center toward the outer edge. Do not use a dirty cleaning cloth.

Do not use benzene, thinner or other volatile chemicals. Also do not use record spray or antistatic agents.

For tough dirt, apply some water to a soft cloth, wring out thoroughly, wipe off the dirt, then wipe off the moisture with a dry cloth.

 Specially shaped discs

Specially shaped discs (heart-shaped, hexagonal, etc.) cannot be used on this player. Never use such discs, as they will damage the player.
