only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your product dealer or local power company.

LOCATION – The appliance should be installed in a

stable location.

NONUSE PERIODS – The power cord of the appliance

should be unplugged from the outlet when left unused for a long period of time.

GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION

÷ If this product is equipped with a polarized alternating

current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other), it will fit into the outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

÷ If this product is equipped with a three-wire

grounding type plug, a plug having a third (grounding) pin, it will only fit into a grounding type power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding type plug.

POWER-CORD PROTECTION — Power-supply cords

should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the product.

OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING — If an outside

antenna or cable system is connected to the product, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with regard to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode. See Figure A.

LIGHTNING — For added protection for this product

during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the product due to lightning and power-line surges.

POWER LINES — An outside antenna system should

not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.

OVERLOADING — Do not overload wall outlets,

extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

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.

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.

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

90 Subway, motorcycle, truck traffic, lawn mower 100 Garbage truck, chain saw, pneumatic drill 120 Rock band concert in front of speakers, thunderclap

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.

140 Gunshot blast, jet plane 180 Rocket launching pad

Information courtesy of the Deafness Research Foundation.

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.

Before Using

Caution Before Using

CARE OF DISCS

7How to hold discs

¶ Be sure to store discs in their cases, away from high

temperatures and humidity, direct sunlight, and extremely low temperatures.

¶ Be sure to read disc instructions.

7Cleaning

¶ Fingerprints or other dirt on the

disc may affect sound and picture quality. Gently wipe from the inside toward the outer edge.

¶ Discs must not be cleaned with record cleaning sprays,

or static prevention sprays, etc. Also do not use volatile liquids such as benzine, or thinner, etc.

¶ You are recommended to use the separately sold JV-

D11 Cleaning Set to clean discs.

¶ For stubborn dirt, soak the cloth in a weak detergent

solution; wring well first and wipe. Use a dry cloth to wipe it dry.

¶ Never play cracked or warped discs. ¶ Do not scratch or stick paper or seals on the label side of

a disc. Glue may seep out, preventing ejection of a disc or causing other problems. Rental discs often have

labels, so check that no glue is seeping out before playing to avoid such problems.

Do not play a CD with a special shape

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

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 will 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.

Notes on using the optional optical cable

¶ Do not route the cable around sharp objects. When

storing, wind the cable so that it has a diameter of at least 15 cm.

¶ When connecting, push the plug all the way into the

terminal.

¶ Please don’t use cables with a length of over 3 m. ¶ If moisture or dust has collected on the plug, wipe it

with a soft cloth before connecting.

LD/CD lens cleaner

The player’s pickup lens should not get dirty in normal use, but if for some reason it should malfunction due to soiling, consult your nearest PIONEER authorized service center. Special care should be exercised as some lens cleaning discs may damage the lens. Ejecting some cleaning discs may also be impossible after use.
