CAUTIONS REGARDING HANDLING

Location

Install the unit in a well-ventilated location where it will not be
exposed to high temperatures or humidity.

Do not install the unit in a location which is exposed to direct rays
of the sun, or near hot appliances or radiators. Excessive heat can
adversely affect the cabinet and internal components. Installation
of the unit in a damp or dusty environment may also result in a
malfunction or an accident. (Avoid installation near cookers etc.,
where the unit may be exposed to oily smoke, steam or heat.)
Do not install the unit on a tottered stand, nor in an unstable or
inclined surface.

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.

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, and the unit may not be able to
attain its full performance. If this occurs, allow the unit to stand for
about an hour or raise the room temperature gradually.

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.

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

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.

With this unit, use a Compact Disc carrying the mark shown
below. Do not use other disc, for this may result in malfunction
or damage.

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.

Re-transporting

When re-transporting this unit in the future, remove all discs from the

rack. Turn off the STANDBY/ON switch, waitfor "OFF"to go out from

the display, and unplug the power cord.

En

PUT BATTERIES INTO THE REMOTE CONTROL UNIT

i

Open the lid of the battery compartment on the rear of the remote
control unit, and insert the batteries, taking care to align the 0 and
0 polarities correctly.

NOTES:

• In order to prevent battery leakage, remove the batteries when
not using the remote control unit for an extended period (one
month or more). If leakage occurs, carefully wipe away any
battery fluid inside the compartment, and replace the batteries
with new ones.

• Do not allow books or other objects to rest on top of the remote
control unit, since the buttons may be depressed, causing faster
exhaustion of the batteries.

Incorrect use of batteries may cause leakage or rupture.
Always be sure to follow these guidelines:
A. Always insert batteries into the battery compartment

correctly matching the positive 0 and negative 0
polarities, as shown by the display inside the

compartment.
B. Never mix new and used batteries.
C. Batteries of the same size may have different voltages,

depending on brand. Do not mix different brands of

batteries.
