CAUTIONS REGARDING HANDLING

LOCATION

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

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

PRECAUTIONS REGARDING INSTALLATION

÷ Placing and using the compact disc player for long periods on heatgenerating 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

÷ 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.

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 (the side

reflecting a "rainbow" pattern, opposite the label side). 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.

CLEANING THE PLAYER AND THE MAGAZINE

To clean the PLAYER and the MAGAZINE, 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.

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.

CAUTION RE: USE OF SHAPED CD's

This product is designed for use with conventional, fully circular CD's only. Use of shaped CD's is not recommended for this product. Pioneer disclaims all liability arising in connection with the use of shaped CD's.

A pause can be programmed only when the program procedure is performed under stop mode.

A pause cannot be programmed at the beginning of a program (P–01), nor can two pauses be programmed one after the other

A pause inserted in a program is counted as one step.

If a pause is programmed as the last step of a program, the player will not enter the pause mode.
