CAUTIONS REGARDING HANDLING

Precautions regarding installation

• Placing and using the compact disc player for long periods on heat-generating sources such as amplifiers will affect performance. Avoid placing the player on heat-generating sources.

• Install this compact disc player as far as possible from tuners and TV sets. A compact disc player installed in close proximity to such equipment may cause noise or degradation of the picture.

• Such noise may be particularly 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.

• Please place this unit on a level surface.

Cleaning the player

To clean the PLAYER, wipe with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, wet a soft cloth with a mild detergent solution made by diluting one part detergent to 5 or 6 parts water, wring well, then wipe off the dirt. Also use a dry cloth to wipe the surface dry. Do not use volatile liquids such as benzene and thinner which are harmful to the unit.

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 or humidity, or extremely low temperatures. Avoid leaving discs in cars, since the seat of a car in direct sunlight can become unbelievably hot.

• Always read and abide by the precautionary notes listed on disc labels.

You can use any disc displaying one of the marks shown below. Other discs (such as CD-ROMs) will not play in this unit. Note that this unit cannot record onto recordable discs.

• 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 label surfaces. Also, do not scratch or damage the label.

• Discs rotate at high speed inside the player. Do not use damaged (cracked or warped) discs.

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

• The CD accessories (stabilizer protection sheet, protection ring, etc.) which are marketed for improving the sound quality or protecting discs as well as the disc cleaner should not be used with this system because they may cause malfunction.

OPERATING

BEFORE

OPERATIONS

BASIC

CD lens cleaner

The player's pickup lens should not become dirty in normal use, but if for some reason it should malfunction due to soiling, consult your nearest PIONEER authorized service center. Lens cleaners for CD players are commercially available, but special care should be exercised in their use since some may cause damage to the lens.

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 periphery.

• If a disc becomes very dirty, dip a soft cloth in water, and after wringing it out well, wipe the dirt away gently, and then remove any water drops with another soft, dry cloth.

• Do not use record cleaning sprays or anti-static agents on discs. Also, never clean discs with benzene, thinner, or other volatile solvents, since damage to the disc surface may result.

Record cleaning sprays

Thinner

Benzene

Playing CD-R and CD-RW discs in this CD changer

• This unit can play music-use CD-R and CD-RW discs. However, depending on the condition of the player and the disc, you may find that not all discs will play successfully. (For example, if the disc is scratched or dirty, or if the player’s pickup lens is dirty.)

Re-transporting

When transporting this unit in the future, remove all discs from the rack. Turn off the STANDBY/ON switch, wait for “OFF” to go out from the display. Then unplug the power cord.

Precautions concerning use of optical fiber cables

• Fully insert the optical fiber cable plugs all the way into the jacks.

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
