AC adapter caution

• Make sure to grasp the body of the AC adapter when removing it from the power outlet. If you pull the power cord, it may become damaged which could lead to fire and/or electrocution.

• Do not attempt to plug in or remove the AC adapter with wet hands. This may result in electrocution.

• Do not insert the AC adapter into a power outlet where the connection remains loose despite inserting the prongs all the way into the outlet. Heat may be generated which could lead to fire. Consult with the retailer or an electrician regarding replacement of the power outlet.

• Do not place the unit, a piece of furniture, etc., on the power cord, or pinch the cord. Never make a knot in the cord or tie it with other cords. The power cords should be routed such that they are not likely to be stepped on. A damaged AC adapter and power cord can cause a fire or give you an electrical shock. Check the AC adapter and the power cord once in a while. When you find it damaged, ask your nearest PIONEER authorized service center or your dealer for a replacement.

Disc playback

This system can play back a standard CD, CD-R/RW in the CD format and CD-R/RW with MP3 or WMA files, but cannot record on them. Some audio CD-R and CD-RW discs may not be playable due to the state of the disc or the device that was used for recording.

MP3:

MP3 is a form of compression. It is an acronym which stands for MPEG Audio Layer 3. MP3 is a type of audio code which is processed by significant compression from the original audio source with very little loss in sound quality.

• This system supports MPEG-1/2 Audio Layer 3 (Sampling rates: 8 kHz to 48 kHz; Bit rates: 32 kbps to 320 kbps).

• During VBR file playback, time counter in the display may differ from its actual playback time.

WMA:

WMA (Windows Media Audio) files are Advanced System Format files that include audio files which are compressed with Windows Media Audio codec. WMA is developed by Microsoft as an audio format file for Windows Media Player.

• This system supports WMA (Sampling rates: 32 kHz/44.1 kHz/48 kHz; Bit rates: 64 kbps to 320 kbps).

• During VBR file playback, time counter in the display may differ from its actual playback time.

About DAB+ (Digital Audio Broadcasting)

Digital Audio Broadcasting is a digital transmission system where audio signals are converted to digital signals for broadcasting. DAB+ is broadcast as a group of data called multiplex (ensemble) which may contain one or more stations (services). Each station contains a primary service and there may be one or more secondary services. This allows several programmes or services to be transmitted on a single frequency.

Auto Scan

When turned on for the first time, the unit scans radio stations automatically to create a station list. You can make the auto scan again when you move the unit to other areas or add multiplex channels to the station list.

Additional information14

Do not place objects on this unit

Do not place any objects on top of this unit.

Do not obstruct the ventilation holes.

Do not use this unit on shaggy rugs, beds, sofas, etc., or wrapped in cloth, etc. Doing so will prevent the heat from dispersing, leading to damage.

Do not expose to heat.

Do not place this unit on top of an amplifier or other component that generates heat. When rack mounting it, to avoid the heat given off by the amplifier or other audio component, place it on a shelf below the amplifier.

• Turn off the unit’s power when not using it.

• Depending on signal conditions, striped patterns may appear on a TV screen and noise may enter the sound of radio broadcasts when the unit’s power is on. If this happens, turn the unit’s power off.

About condensation

If this unit is moved suddenly from a cold place into a warm room (in winter, for example) or if the temperature in the room in which this unit is installed rises suddenly due to heater operation, etc., water droplets (condensation) may form inside (on operating parts and the lens). When condensation is present, this unit will not operate properly and playback is not possible. Let this unit stand at room temperature for 1 or 2 hours with the power turned on (the time depends on the extent of condensation). The water droplets will dissipate and playback will become possible. Condensation can also occur in the summer if this unit is directly exposed to the air flow from an air-conditioner. If this happens, move this unit to a different place.

Cleaning the product

• Unplug the power cord from the power outlet when cleaning this unit.

• Clean this unit using a soft cloth. For tough dirt, apply some neutral detergent diluted in 5 to 6 parts water to a soft cloth, wring out thoroughly, wipe off the dirt, then wipe again with a soft, dry cloth.

• Alcohol, thinner, benzene, insecticides, etc., could cause the print or paint to peel off. Also, leaving rubber or vinyl products in contact with this unit for long periods of time could mar the cabinet.

• When using chemical-impregnated wipes, etc., read the cautions included with the wipes carefully.

Cleaning the lens

• This unit’s lens should not become dirty in normal use, but if for some reason it should malfunction due to dust or dirt, consult your nearest Pioneer authorized service center. Although lens cleaners for players are commercially available, we advise against using them since some may damage the lens.

Handling discs

Storing

• Always place discs in their cases and store them vertically, avoiding hot, humid places, places exposed to direct sunlight and extremely cold places.

• Be sure to read the cautions included with the disc.

Cleaning discs

• Discs may not play if there are fingerprints or dust on them. In this case, use a cleaning cloth, etc., to gently wipe the disc from the inside towards the outside. Do not use dirty cleaning cloths.

• Do not use benzene, thinner or other volatile chemicals. Also do not use record spray or antistatic agents.

• For tough dirt, apply some water to a soft cloth, wring out thoroughly, wipe off the dirt, then wipe off the moisture with a dry cloth.

• Do not use damaged (cracked or warped) discs.

• Do not let the signal surface of discs get scratched or dirty.

• Do not attach pieces of paper or stickers to discs. Doing so could warp discs, making it impossible to play them. Also note that rental discs often have labels attached to them, and the label’s glue may have oozed out. Check that there is no glue around the edges of such labels before using rented discs.
