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.
About specially shaped discs
Specially shaped discs (heart-shaped, hexagonal, etc.)
cannot be played on this unit. Do not attempt to play such
discs, as they could damage this unit.
