Safety cautions

CAUTION

TO PREVENT THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER
(OR BACK). NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVICING
TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL. D3-4-2-1-1_B1_En

CAUTION

The u 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

WARNING

To prevent a fire hazard, do not place any naked flame sources (such as a
lighted candle) on the equipment. D3-4-2-1-7a_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

Cautions on use

When moving the player

When moving the player, check first that there is no
disc loaded and that the disc tray is closed. Then
press u STANDBY/ON on the player (or u STANDBY/
ON on the remote control), wait for the OFF indicator
on the front panel display to turn off, then unplug the
power cord. Moving the player with a disc inside it
could result in damage.

Place of installation

• Choose a stable place near the TV or stereo system
being used with the player.

• Do not place the player on top of a TV or color
monitor. Also install it away from cassette decks
and other devices easily affected by magnetic
forces.

Avoid the following types of places:

• Places exposed to direct sunlight

• Humid or poorly ventilated places

• Extremely hot places

• Places exposed to vibrations

• Places in which there is much dust or cigarette

smoke

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

Do not place objects on the player.

Do not place any objects on top of the player.

Do not obstruct the ventilation holes.

Do not use the player on shaggy rugs, beds, sofas,
etc., or wrapped in cloth, etc. Doing so will prevent the
heat from dispersing, leading to damage.

Do not expose to heat.

Do not place the player on top of an amplifier or other
component that generates heat. When placing it in
a rack, to avoid the heat given off by the amplifier or
other audio component, place it on a shelf below the
amplifier.

Turn off the player’s power when not
using it.

Depending on signal conditions, striped patterns may
appear on a TV screen and noise may enter the sound
of radio broadcasts when the player’s power is on. If
this happens, turn the player’s power off.

About 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.

Cleaning the product

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

• Clean the player using 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 soft, dry cloth.

• Alcohol, thinner, benzene, insecticides, etc., could
cause the print or paint to peel off. Also, leaving
rubber or vinyl products in contact with the player
for long periods of time could mar the cabinet.

• When using chemical-impregnated wipes, etc.,
read the cautions included with the wipes carefully.

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

Do not press  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 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.

Handling discs

Storing

• Always place discs in their cases and store them
vertically, avoiding places hot, humid, exposed to
direct sunlight and extremely cold.

• Be sure to read the cautions included with the disc.

Cleaning discs

• Discs may not play if there are fingerprints or dust
on them. In this case, use a cleaning cloth, etc.,
to gently wipe the disc from the inside towards the
outside. Do not use dirty cleaning cloths.

• 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.

• Do not use damaged (cracked or warped) discs.

• Do not let the signal surface of discs get scratched

or dirty.

• Do not place two discs in the disc tray, one on top
of the other.

• Do not attach pieces of paper or stickers to discs.
Doing so could warp discs, making it impossible
to play them. Also note that rental discs often have
labels attached to them, and the label’s glue may
have oozed out. Check that there is no glue around
the edges of such labels before using rented discs.

About specially shaped discs

Specially shaped discs
(heartshaped, hexagonal,
etc.) cannot be played on
this player. Do not attempt
to play such discs, as
they could damage the
player.

About condensation on discs

Water droplets (condensation) may form on the
surface of discs if they are moved from a cold place
(particularly in winter) into a warm room. Discs may
not play normally if there is condensation on them.
Carefully wipe the water droplets off the surface of the
disc before loading it.
