DIRECTIVES D’INSTALLATION

ÖLe fait de placer et de laisser l’appareil pendant de longues périodes de temps sur des appareils constituant une source de chaleur tels des amplificateurs ou près de projecteurs d’éclairage, etc., risque d’altérer les per- formances de l’appareil. Éviter de poser la boîte d’effets sur des appareils constituant une source de chaleur.

ÖInstaller l’appareil le plus loin possible des syntoniseurs et des récepteurs de télévision. En effet, si l’appareil se trouve à proximité, il est alors susceptible de provoquer des parasites voire entrainer une dégradation des ima- ges.

ÖCes parasites risquent d’être plus particulièrement évidents quand une antenne intérieure est utilisée. Dans ce cas, il est indispensable d’utiliser une antenne extérieure ou bien de couper l’alimentation de l’appareil.

NOTE IMPORTANTE SUR LE CABLE D’ALIMENTATION

Tenir le câble d’alimentation par la fiche. Ne pas débrancher la prise en tirant sur le câble et ne pas toucher le câble avec les mains mouillées. Cela risque de provoquer un court-circuit ou un choc électrique. Ne pas poser l’appareil ou un meuble sur le câble. Ne pas pin- cer le câble. Ne pas faire de nœud avec le câble ou l’attacher à d’autres câbles. Les câbles d’alimentation doivent être posés de façon à ne pas être écrasés. Un câble abîmé peut provoquer un risque d’incendie ou un choc électrique. Vérifier le câble d’alimentation de temps en temps. Contacter le service après-vente PIONEER le plus proche ou le revendeur pour un remplacement.

Entretien de l’appareil

L’entretien de l’appareil peut être fait avec du tissu d’entretien souple et sec. Pour les taches les plus tenaces, il suffit d’imprégner un morceau de tissu souple d’une solution diluée à base de détergent neutre (diluée dans cinq ou six parts d’eau), de bien essorer puis d’essuyer pour nettoyer. Se servir d’un morceau de tissu sec et souple pour assécher la surface nettoyée. Ne pas uti- liser les produit volatiles tels de la benzène ou un diluant chimique car ceci endommagerait la finition de l’appareil.
