DISC RACK CAUTION

CDFILE

While changing or inserting discs, be careful not to press any buttons on the main unit or the remote control. The rack may move suddenly, and then your fingers may be caught between discs in the rack.

When changing or inserting discs, make sure that the rack is stopped. Do not attempt to load a disc into the player when the rack is moving.

Never insert your hand or any object into the interior. This can cause a malfunction.

Never insert more than one disc at a time into one slot. This can scratch or damage the discs.

Do not apply force to the rack. This can cause a malfunction.

DO NOT MOVE THE UNIT WHEN DISCS ARE LOADED IN THE RACK

Moving the player when discs are loaded may damage the discs and may cause the player to malfunction.

WHEN MOVING THE UNIT

When changing places of installation or packing the unit for moving, be sure to remove all of the discs from the rack and close the player’s hood. Then, press

STANDBY/ON and switch the power to standby.

Check that the “–OFF–” indication on the display goes off, then disconnect the power cord. Moving this unit with the disc rack loaded may result in damage to this unit.

INSTALLATION

Select a stable place to the side of a TV set or stereo system to be connected to the unit.

When using the unit with a stereo system, install the speakers a little bit away from the TV.

Do NOT install the unit on top of a TV or color monitor. Install the unit away from equipment that may be affected by magnetism, such as a cassette deck.

Do NOT place objects on top of the unit.

AVOID INSTALLING IN A PLACE THAT IS:

Exposed to direct sunlight

Exposed to humidity or where ventilation is poor

Extremely hot or cold

Exposed to vibration

Exposed to dust

Exposed to oily smoke, steam or heat (for example, a

72

kitchen)

 

DO NOT BLOCK VENTS

Do NOT use the player on top of a long-fibered carpet, bed or sofa, and do not cover it with a cloth, etc. This will prevent heat radiation and could result in damage.

AVOID HEAT

Do NOT place the unit on equipment which generates heat, such as an amplifier.

When installing the unit in a rack, place it on the lowest shelf possible (however, not where it is exposed to dust) and separated from the amplifier to avoid the heat generated by the amplifier or other audio equipment.

CONDENSATION

Moisture may form in the operating section of the player if the player is brought from cool surroundings into a warm room or if the temperature of the room rises suddenly. When this happens, the player’s performance will be impaired.

To prevent this, let the player stand in its new surroundings for about an hour before switching it on, or make sure that the room temperature rises gradually.

Condensation may also form during the summer if the player is exposed to the breeze from an air conditioner. In such cases, change the location of the player.

SWITCH POWER TO STANDBY WHEN NOT USING THE UNIT

Depending on the strength of the TV or radio broadcast signal, having the TV or radio on while power to the unit is on may result in stripes on the TV screen or noise.

However, this is not a malfunction of this unit or the TV or radio. In such a case, switch the power of the unit to standby.

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 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 in such a way 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.
