be met regarding attachment of the unit. Please consult
your nearest Pioneer dealer for details before installing.

Condensation

Moisture will form in the operating section of the player if the
player is brought from cool surroundings into a warm room or if
the temperature of the room rises suddenly. When this happens,
the player’s performance may be impaired.
To prevent this, let the player stand in its new surroundings for
about an hour before switching it on, or make sure that the room
temperature rises gradually.
Condensation may also form during the summer if the player is
exposed to the breeze from an air conditioner. In such cases,
change the location of the player.

÷ When multiple players are connected in parallel, a high surge

current will be passed through the units when the power is
