LISTENING

For A Lifetime

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.

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.

We Want You Listening For A Lifetime

Used wisely, your new sound equipment will provide a lifetime of fun and enjoyment. 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

THE FOLLOWING NOISES CAN BE DANGEROUS UNDER CONSTANT EXPOSURE

90 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

CAUTIONS REGARDING HANDLING

Location

Install the player in a well-ventilated location where it will not be exposed to high temperatures or humidity. Do not install the player in a location which is exposed to direct sunlight, or near stoves or radiators. Excessive heat can adversely affect the cabinet and internal components. Installation of the player in a damp or dusty environment may aiso result in a malfunction and can be hazardous. Avoid installation near cookers etc., where the player may be exposed to oily smoke, steam or heat.

Installation guidelines

÷ Placing and using the compact disc player for long periods on

heat-generating sources such as amplifiers or near spotlights, etc. will affect product performance. Avoid placing the player on heat-generating sources.

÷ Install this compact disc player as far as possible away from

tuners and TV sets. A compact disc player installed in close proximity to such equipment may cause noise or degradation of the picture.

÷ Noise may be noticeable when an indoor antenna is used. In

such cases, make use of an outdoor antenna or turn off power to the compact disc player.

÷ When the unit is used in a loud-sound environment, e.g., near

a speaker, sound skip may occur. Install the unit away from the speaker or reduce the listening volume.

÷ Place this unit on a level surface and a stable platform. ÷ Be sure the player, including its audio and power supply

cords, does not touch vibrating materials. Any cause of vibration other than the insulators may cause the disc to skip. Take special care when using the player while it is installed in a carrying case.

Installing the CMX-5000 in an EIA rack

The screw holes on the front panel o the CMX-5000 are designed for use in attaching the unit to a 19-inch EIA rack. ÷ Remove the four legs on the unit before installing the unit in

the rack.

÷ Use four 3/16-inch-diameter, 3/8-inch-length screws to attach

to rack. (Screws not included with CMX-5000 CD player.)

Note

÷ Never place this CD player directly above a power amplifier,

as the heat given off by the amplifier might result in damage to the unit. Placing the CD player directly above a power amplifier might also result in ham radio signals being picked up or in other types of interference.

÷ Always be sure to remove the CD player from its rack before

shipping.

÷ When moving the CD player while still installed in its rack,

exercise caution to avoid subjecting the player to shocks or vibration.

Cleaning the player

To clean the PLAYER wipe with a polishing or a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, moisten a soft cloth with a weak solution of neutral detergent (diluted in five to six parts water), wring the cloth well, and wipe away the dirt. Use a dry cloth to wipe the surface dry. Do not use volatile liquids such as benzene or thinner which will damage to the unit.

CD lens cleaner

The player’s pickup lens should not become dirty in normal use. If for some reason, the lens becomes soiled and malfunctions, contact your nearest PIONEER authorized service center. Lens cleaners for CD players are commercially available, but special care should be exercised in their use as some may cause damage to the lens.

4 <DRB1254>

Do not place on or against vibrating materials!

Storing discs

÷ Discs are made of the same kinds of plastic used for

conventional analog audio records. Be careful not to allow discs to warp. Always store discs in their cases vertically, avoiding locations with high heat, humidity, or extremely low temperatures. Avoid leaving discs in cars; the interior of a car in direct sunlight can become extremely hot.

÷ Always read and abide by the precautionary notes listed on

disc labels.

Condensation

When this unit is brought into a warm room from previously cold surroundings or when the room temperature rises sharply, condensation may form inside the unit and impair its performance. In such cases, allow the unit to stand for about an hour or raise the room temperature gradually.

Read before use

Cleaning and handling compact discs

÷ The presence of fingerprints or smudges on the surface of

the disc will not directly affect the recorded signals, but, depending on the degree of contamination, the brightness of the light reflected from the signal surfaces may be reduced causing degradation of sound quality. Always keep your discs clean by wiping them gently with a soft cloth from the inner edge toward the outer edge.

÷ If a disc becomes very dirty, dampen a soft cloth with water,

(be sure to wring it out well) and wipe the away dirt gently. Remove any water drops with another soft, dry cloth.

÷ Do not use record cleaning sprays or anti-static agents on

discs. Never clean discs with benzene, thinner, or other volatile solvents or damage to the disc surface may result.

÷ With this player, use only those discs

which display the mark shown right (Optical audio digital discs).

FORCED DISC EJECTION

If the EJECT button fails to work and it becomes impossible to eject a disc, the disc may be ejected by inserting the disc ejection pin in the manual disc ejection hole located on the front panel of the player. Always be sure to observe the following points when manually ejecting discs. 1 Be sure to turn off the power to the CD player and wait

for 1 minute or more before ejecting the disc.

Manually ejecting a disc immediately after the power to the unit has been turned off may result in one of the following problems from occurring, and care should accordingly be taken never to eject discs immediately after the power has been turned off.

÷ The disc will still be spinning when it is ejected, thus

resulting in cuts to the fingers or other forms of bodily injury.

÷ The disc clamps will spin in an unstable state, thus

resulting in scratching of discs.

2 Be sure to use only the disc ejection pin included with

your CMX-5000 (i.e., never use a paper clip or any other object). Inserting the disc ejection pin into the hole until it encounters resistance will cause the disc to be ejected some 5 to 10 millimeters from the insertion slot. The disc may then be removed by grasping it by hand and pulling.

÷ When holding discs, do not touch their signal surfaces. Hold

by the edges, or by one edge and the center hole.

÷ Do not affix gummed labels or tape to the disc surface. Also,

do not scratch or damage the label.

÷ Discs rotate at high speeds inside the player. Do not use

damaged, cracked or warped discs.

Do not play a CD with a special shape

Do not play a CD having other shape than a circular disc, such as heart shaped disc. Otherwise malfunction may occur.
