Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you’ve just purchased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it’s time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the sound come through loud and clear 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.

To establish a safe level:

@Start your volume control at a low setting. @Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it

comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.

Once you have established a comfortable sound level:

@Set the dial and leave it there.

We Want You Listening For A Lifetime

Since hearing damage from loud noise is often undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group recommend you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise. This list of sound levels is included for your protection.

Decibel Level Example

30 Quiet library, soft whispers 40

Living room, refrigerator, bedroom away from traffic 50 Light traffic, normal conversation, quiet office 60 Air conditioner at 20 feet, sewing machine 70 Vacuum cleaner, hair dryer, noisy restaurant 80

Average city traffic, garbage disposals, alarm clock

at two feet.

THE FOLLOWING NOISES CAN BE DANGEROUS UNDER CONSTANT EXPOSURE

Subway, motorcycle, truck traffic, lawn mower

100 Garbage truck, chain saw, pneumatic drill 120 Rock band concert in front of speakers,

thunderclap

140 Gunshot blast, jet plane 180 Rocket launching pad

Information courtesy of the Deafness Research Foundation.

Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss in the future. After all, we want you listening for a lifetime.

Installation

Cautions on use

• Please note that Pioneer will accept no responsibility whatsoever for loss of business opportunities or other damages due to breakdown of the set.

• Please note that Pioneer will accept no responsibility whatsoever for problems resulting from the use of the set, regardless of the method of installation.

• Please note that Pioneer will accept no responsibility whatsoever for loss of data resulting from use or breakdown of the set, or for any direct or indirect damages incurred thereby.

Cautions on Installation

Install and use the set in a level, stable place. Do not use it on shaky, unstable surfaces or places subject to strong vibrations.

The current will surge if the power to several units of the set is turned on or off simultaneously from an external device. For the value per unit, see Specifications on page 75.

Caution

• When installing the set in an EIA rack, be sure to use the included rack mount brackets. Using anything else could cause damage to the set or injury. For details on mounting, etc., see Installation Procedure on page 16.

• When the included rack mount brackets are used, the

player can be mounted to universal pitch or wide pitch racks conforming to EIA 19" standards.

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 or strong artificial light

• Places subject to vibration

•Places exposed to strong electromagnetic or magnetic forces

• Places in which there is much electrical noise

• Places in which electrostatic noise tends to be generated

•Humid or poorly ventilated places

•Closed racks

•Extremely hot or cold places

• 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.

Caution

• When installing the player, leave a space of at least 10 cm between the player and the wall. Also, to facilitate heat radiation, leave some space between the player and other equipment. Failure to do so will cause heat to build up inside the player, leading to fire.

The player should be used within a surrounding environmental temperature of +5 to +35 of 85% or less (without obstructing the ventilation holes). Do not install in poorly ventilated places, places where the humidity is too high or in places exposed to direct sunlight (or strong artificial light).

Moving the player

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.

 Transporting the set

When transporting the set, always use the box in which it was originally packed, being sure not to drop it or subject it to vibrations or shocks.

Do not let the set be exposed to heat or water during transportation. Be sure to remove any disc before transporting. Transporting the set with a disc in it could scratch the disk or damage the inside of the set. Also, disconnect cables. Transporting with cables connected could damage the terminals.

When using chemical-impregnated wipes, etc., r ead the wipe’s cautions carefully.

Unplug the power cord from the power outlet when cleaning the player.

Caution for when the unit is installed in a rack with a glass door

Do not press the  OPEN/CLOSE on the remote control to open the disc tray while the glass door is closed. The door will hamper the movement of the disc tray, and the unit could be damaged.

Cleaning the pickup lens

The player’s lens should not become dirty in normal use, but if for some reason it should malfunction due to dust or dirt, consult your nearest Pioneer authorized service center. Although lens cleaners for players are commercially available, we advise against using them since some may damage the lens.

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

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 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.

Cleaning the player

Handling discs

Do not use damaged (cracked or warped) discs. Do not scratch the disc’s signal surface or let it get dirty. Do not load more than one disc into the player at a time. Do not glue paper or put stickers onto the disc, or use a

pencil, ball-point pen or other sharp-tipped writing instrument. These could all damage the disc.

 Storing discs

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

Be sure to read the cautions included with 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.

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.

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, wr ing out thoroughly, wipe off the dirt, then wipe off the moisture with a dry cloth.

 Specially shaped discs

Screw holes

Rack mount bracket

Screws removed from player

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

 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.

 Extended use of recording discs

Playing a specific section of a recording disc (BD-R/RE, DVD-R/RW, etc.) continuously for extended periods of time may reduce performance of the recorded surface and make the disc unplayable. To avoid this, take measures so that no single specific section is played for extended periods of time, and replace the disc periodically.
