Installation guidelines
ÖPlacing and using the compact disc player for long periods on
ÖInstall this compact disc player as far as possible away from tuners and TV sets. A compact disc player in- stalled in close proximity to such equipment may cause noise or degradation of the picture.
ÖNoise may be 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.
ÖWhen the unit is used in a
ÖPlace this unit on a level surface and a stable platform.
ÖBe sure the player, including its audio and power sup- ply cords, does not touch vibrating materials. Any cause of vibration other than the insulators may cause the disc to skip. Take special care when using the player while it is installed in a carrying case.
Do not place on or against vibrating materials!
Cleaning the player
To clean the PLAYER wipe with a polishing or a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, moisten a soft cloth with a weak solution of neutral detergent (diluted in five to six parts water), wring the cloth well, and wipe away the dirt. Use a dry cloth to wipe the surface dry. Do not use volatile liquids such as benzene or thinner which will damage to the unit.
CD lens cleaner
The player’s pickup lens should not become dirty in nor- mal use. If for some reason, the lens becomes soiled and malfunctions, contact your nearest PIONEER author- ized service center. Lens cleaners for CD players are com- mercially available, but special care should be exercised in their use as some may cause damage to the lens.
ÖDiscs 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, humid- ity, or extremely low temperatures. Avoid leaving discs in cars; the interior of a car in direct sunlight can be- come extremely hot.
ÖAlways read and abide by the precautionary notes listed on disc labels.
Condensation
When this unit is brought into a warm room from previ- ously cold surroundings or when the room temperature rises sharply, condensation may form inside the unit and impair its performance. In such cases, allow the unit to stand for about an hour or raise the room temperature gradually.
Cleaning and handling compact discs
ÖThe presence of fingerprints or smudges on the sur- face of the disc will not directly affect the recorded signals, but, depending on the degree of contamina- tion, the brightness of the light reflected from the sig- nal surfaces may be reduced causing degradation of sound quality. Always keep your discs clean by wip- ing them gently with a soft cloth from the inner edge toward the outer edge.
ÖIf a disc becomes very dirty, dampen a soft cloth with water, (be sure to wring it out well) and wipe the away dirt gently. Remove any water drops with another soft, dry cloth.
