Install this player as far as possible away from tuners and TV sets. The player installed in close proximity to such equip- ment may cause noise or degradation of the picture.

Noise may be noticeable when an indoor antenna is used. In such cases, make use of an outdoor antenna or turn off power to the player.

Moving the unit

Never move the unit during playback!

During playback, a disc rotates at very high speed; moving the player during playback may result in scratches or other damage to the disc.

When moving the unit is necessary

Before moving the unit, remove any disc and disconnect the power. Malfunctions or damage may result if the unit is moved with a disc loaded.

About the carrying case

The upper surface of the jog dial is equipped with a touch-sensi- tive switch. When placing the player in its carrying case, avoid placing any pressure on the jog dial.

Condensation

When this unit is brought into a warm room from previously cold surroundings or when the room temperature rises sharply, con- densation 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 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 neu- tral 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 the unit.

About the lens cleaner

The player’s pickup lens should not become dirty in normal use. If for some reason, the lens becomes soiled and malfunctions, contact your nearest PIONEER authorized service center. Lens cleaners for CD players are commercially available, but special care should be exercised in their use as some may cause dam- age to the lens.
