09Additional information

This player is designed for use with conven- tional, fully circular discs only. Use of shaped discs is not recommended for this product. Pioneer disclaims all liability arising in connection with the use of shaped discs.

Cleaning the pickup lens

The DVD 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 CD players are commercially available, we do not recommend using them since some may damage the lens.

Problems with condensation

Condensation may form inside the player if it is brought into a warm room from outside, or if the temperature of the room rises quickly. Although the condensation won’t damage the player, it may temporarily impair its perfor- mance. For this reason you should leave it to adjust to the warmer temperature for about an hour before switching on and using.

Hints on installation

We want you to enjoy using this product for years to come, so please bear in mind the following points when choosing a suitable location for it:

Do...

•Use in a well-ventilated room.

•Place on a window sill or other place where the player will be exposed to direct sunlight.

•Use in an excessively dusty or damp envi- ronment.

•Place directly on top of an amplifier, or other component in your stereo system that becomes hot in use.

•Use near a television or monitor as you may experience interference—especially if the television uses an indoor antenna.

•Use in a kitchen or other room where the player may be exposed to smoke or steam.

•Use on a thick rug or carpet, or cover with cloth—this may prevent proper cooling of the unit.

•Place on an unstable surface, or one that is not large enough to support all four of the unit’s feet.

Moving the player

If you need to move the player, first press POWER on the front panel to turn the player off. Wait for --OFF--to disappear from the display, then unplug the power cable.

Never lift or move the unit during playback— discs rotate at a high speed and may be damaged.

Power cable caution

Handle the power cable by the plug part. Do not pull out the plug by tugging the cable, and never touch the power cable when your hands are wet, as this could cause a short circuit or electric shock. Do not place the unit, a piece of furniture, or other object on the power cable or pinch the cable in any other way. Never make a knot in the cable or tie it with other cables. The power cables should be routed so that they are not likely to be stepped on. A damaged power cable can cause a fire
