Appendix

06Additional information

Turn off the player’s power when not using it.

Depending on signal conditions, striped patterns may appear on a TV screen and noise may enter the sound of radio broadcasts when the player’s power is on. If this happens, turn the player’s power off.

About condensation

If the player is moved suddenly from a cold place into a warm room (in winter, for example) or if the temperature in the room in which the player is installed rises suddenly due to a heater, etc., water droplets (condensation) may form inside (on operating parts and the lens). When condensation is present, the player will not operate properly and playback is not possible. Let the player stand at room temperature for 1 or 2 hours with the power turned on (the time depends on the extent of condensation). The water droplets will dissipate and playback will become possible. Condensation can also occur in the summer if the player is exposed to the direct wind from an air-conditioner. If this happens, move the player to a different place.

Cleaning the product

Unplug the power cord from the power outlet when cleaning the player.

Clean the player using a soft cloth. For tough dirt, apply some neutral detergent diluted in 5 to 6 parts water to a soft cloth, wring out thoroughly, wipe off the dirt, then wipe again with a soft, dry cloth.

Alcohol, thinner, benzene, insecticides, etc., could cause the print or paint to peel off. Also, leaving rubber or vinyl products in contact with the player for long periods of time could mar the cabinet.

When using chemical-impregnated wipes, etc., read the cautions included with the wipes carefully.

Caution for when the unit is installed in a rack with a glass door

Do not press  OPEN/CLOSE on the remote control to open the disc tray while the glass door is closed. The door will hamper the movement of the disc tray, and the unit could be damaged.

Cleaning the lens

The player’s lens should not become dirty in normal use, but if for some reason it should malfunction due to dust or dirt, consult your nearest Pioneer authorized service center.

Although lens cleaners for players are commercially available, we advise against using them since some may damage the lens.
