Pioneer DRM-3000, DRM-7000 Handling Precautions, POWER-CORD Caution, For Safety, Condensation

HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

INSTALLATION

Select an installation site with a flat, solid surface.

Do not install the system where it will suffer any of the following:

1Exposure to direct sunlight or a heater

2 High humidity or dust

3 Proximity to bathroom or kitchen

4 Exposure to spotlight

5 Proximity to any large electric apparatus such as a refrigerator, air conditioner, dimmer, etc.

6 Uneven or unsteady installation surface.

(If the surface is not flat, first put down a hard plate or similar support so that the system is installed level.)

7 Difficulty of service and maintenance.

If the changer is to be installed next to a wall, a minimum of at least 50 cm of space must be provided between the back of the changer and the wall.

Avoid placing objects directly on the changer.

HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

÷Be careful not to stain, scratch or leave fingerprint, etc., on the signal surface, or recording surface of the discs. The specified playback performance or recording performance may not be obtained with such discs.

÷Do not insert more than one disc in a mailslot, otherwise malfunction will result.

÷The Changer does not manage the disc contents. The data should be managed by involving the host.

÷Use only recording discs recommended by Pioneer. The specified recording performance or playback performance may not be obtained if a non-recommended disc is used. Please note that the data recorded on discs is not covered by our warranty.

÷Pioneer may not be held liable for the loss of any data or any other direct or indirect damage suffered as the result of the use or breakdown of this product. It is strongly recommended that regular backups be taken of all critical data.

÷Please be careful not to lose the lock release keys provided with your DRM-7000/DRM-3000, otherwise you could not manage your changer any more. The lock release key certifies you as a system administrator and gives you a privilege to open access doors, to eject a hyper magazine and to use a mailslot.

POWER-CORD CAUTION

Handle the power cord by the plug. 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 an electric shock. Do not place the unit, a piece of furniture, etc., on the power cord, or pinch the cord. Never make a knot in the cord or tie it with other cords. The power cords should be routed such that they are not likely to be stepped on. A damaged power cord can cause a fire or give you an electrical shock. Check the power cord once in a while. When you find it damaged, ask your nearest PIONEER authorized service center or your dealer for a replacement.

FOR SAFETY

÷Do not install the unit on any unsteady platform or desk, etc., as the unit is tall and heavy.

÷Do not stack the units or do not place a heavy object on the unit. It is extremely dangerous to do this, because the objects may fall off or the unit may topple over. (Any damage or injury suffered as a result of such installation is the sole responsibility of the user. )

÷Attach the placement fixtures first after unpacking the changer. If it is moved before they are attached, there is a danger of it toppling over or of the cables on the rear being damaged.

÷Always be sure not to insert your hand into the 20- disc hyper magazine bay or not to touch any parts inside of the bay when the power has been turned on, otherwise it may result in bodily injury.

÷The Changer can accommodate only the discs with a diameter of 12cm (5in). As the Changer detects the presence of disc with optical detection of the position at about 5mm (3/16in) inside the external periphery of the 12cm (5in) disc, the use of a disc which is transparent at the corresponding position or a 8cm (3in) disc may lead to disc detection error and to the disc damage in the worst case. Also, the use of a 8cm disc adapter is strictly prohibited.

÷For safety reasons, the DRM-7000/DRM-3000 is designed so that the access doors cannot be opened while the changer mechanism or internal drives are in operation.

÷The high speed rotation of discs or the operation of the high speed disc transport mechanism in the DRM-7000/ DRM-3000 causes slight vibrations and noise, but this does not indicate a problem. And it does not effect the performance of the changer.

CONDENSATION

If the temperature difference between the changer and environment is too large, water will condense in the changer and the system may not provide proper performance. For example, if you bring the changer into a warm room from outside in cold weather, or if you increase room temperature abruptly, condensation may result. If condensation occurs, leave the changer for one hour in the room, or increase room temperature gradually before using it.

CLEANING THE CHANGER

To clean the panel and the cover, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe off dust and dirt. If the cabinet is heavily soiled, wipe off the dirt using a soft cloth soaked with neutral detergent diluted 5 to 6 times. Then wipe the water off with a dry cloth. Do not use benzine, thinner, insecticide or similar volatile chemicals, as they may dissolve or discolor the cabinet surface. If you use a chemical polishing cloth, carefully read the instructions supplied with it.
