Location, Precautions regarding installation

CAUTIONS REGARDING HANDLING

Location

Install the player in a well-ventilated location where it will not be exposed to high temperatures or humidity. Do not install the player in a location which is exposed to direct rays of the sun, or near stoves or radiators. Excessive heat can adversely affect the cabinet and internal components. Also, installation of the player in a damp or dusty environment may result in malfunction or accident.

Precautions regarding installation

ÖPlacing and using the compact disc player for long periods on heat-generating sources such as amplifiers or near spotlights, etc. will affect performance. Avoid placing the player on heat-generating sources such as amplifiers.

ÖInstall this compact disc player as far as possible from tuners and TV sets. Noise may be particularly 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 loud-sound environment, for example near a speaker, sound skip may occur. In such a case, install the unit apart from the speaker or reduce the listening volume.

ÖPlease place this unit on a level surface and a stable flatform.

ÖBesure that the player, including its audio and power supply cords, dose not touch vibrating materials.

This player has a shock absorber incorporated in the insulators to absorb vibration. Any other cause of vibration, other than the insulators, may cause the disc to skip.

Do not place on or against vibrating materials!

Cleaning the player

To clean the PLAYER, wipe with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, wet a soft cloth with a mild detergent solution made by diluting one part detergent to 5 or 6 parts water, wring well, then wipe off the dirt. Use a dry cloth to wipe the surface dry. Do not use volatile liquids such as benzene and thinner which are harmful to the unit.

Storing discs

Be careful not to allow discs to warp; always store discs in their cases vertically, avoiding locations with high heat or humidity, or extremely low temperatures.

CD lens cleaner

The player's pickup lens should not become dirty in normal use, but if for some reason it should malfunction due to soiling, consult your nearest PIONEER authorized service center. Lens cleaners for CD players are commercially available, but special care should be exercised in their use since some may cause damage to the lens.

Condensation

When this unit is brought into a warm room from previously cold surroundings or when the room temperature rises sharply, condensation may form inside, and the unit may not be able to attain its full performance. In cases like this, allow the unit to stand for about an hour or raise the room temperature gradually.

Cleaning and handling compact discs

ÖAlways keep your discs clean by wiping them gently with a soft cloth from the inner edge toward the outer periphery.

ÖIf a disc becomes very dirty, dip a soft cloth in water, and after wringing it out well, wipe the dirt away gently, and then remove any water drops with another soft, dry cloth.

ÖDo not use record cleaning sprays or antistatic agents on discs. Also, never clean discs with benzene, thinner, or other volatile solvents, since damage to the disc surface may result.

ÖWith this player, use discs which display the mark shown below. (Optical audio digital discs.)

ÖWhen holding discs, do not touch their signal surfaces (the side reflecting a "rainbow" pattern, opposite the label side). Hold by the edges, or by one edge and the center hole.

ÖDo not affix gummed labels or tape to the label surfaces. Also, do not scratch or damage the label.

ÖDiscs rotate at high speed inside the player. Do not use damaged (cracked or warped) discs.
