Cleaning the pickup lens

The DVD player’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 CD players are commercially available, we do not recommend using them since some may damage the lens.

Problems with condensation

Condensation may form inside the player if it is brought into a warm room from outside, or if the temperature of the room rises quickly.

Although the condensation won’t damage the player, it may temporarily impair its performance. For this reason you should leave it to adjust to the warmer temperature for about an hour before switching on and using.

Hints on installation

We want you to enjoy using this unit for years to come, so please bear in mind the following points when choosing a suitable location for it:

Do...

✓Use in a well-ventilated room.

✓Place on a solid, flat, level surface, such as a table, shelf or stereo rack.

Don’t...

✗Use in a place exposed to high tempera- tures or humidity, including near radiators and other heat-generating appliances.

✗Place on a window sill or other place where the player will be exposed to direct sunlight.

✗Use in an excessively dusty or damp environment.

✗Place directly on top of an amplifier, or other component in your stereo system that becomes hot in use.

✗Use near a television or monitor as you may experience interference—especially if the television uses an indoor antenna.

✗Use in a kitchen or other room where the player may be exposed to smoke or steam.

✗Use on a thick rug or carpet, or cover with cloth—this may prevent proper cooling of the unit.

✗Place on an unstable surface, or one that is not large enough to support all four of the unit’s feet.

Moving the player

If you need to move the player, first press

STANDBY/ON on the front panel to turn the player off. Wait for --OFF--to disappear

from the display, then unplug the power cord. Never lift or move the unit during playback—discs rotate at a high speed and may be damaged.

Power cord caution

Handle the power cord by the plug part. Do not pull out the plug by tugging the cord, and never touch the power cord when your hands are wet, as this could cause a short circuit or electric shock. Do not place the unit, a piece of furniture, or other object on the power cord or pinch the cord in any other way. Never make a knot in the cord or tie it with other cords. The power cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be stepped on. A damaged power cord can cause a fire or give you an electric shock. Check the power cord once in a while. If you find it damaged, ask your nearest Pioneer authorized service center or your dealer for a replacement.
