Cleaning the unit’s exterior

Use a polishing cloth or dry cloth to wipe off dust and dirt. If the surfaces are very dirty, wipe with a soft cloth dipped in some neutral cleanser diluted five or six times with water. Wrung out the cloth well before wiping then use a dry cloth to wipe again.

Do not use furniture wax or cleaners. Never use thinners, benzine or insecticide sprays or other chemicals on or near this unit since these chemicals can corrode the surfaces.

If you use a chemically-treated cleaning cloth, read the instructions carefully before use. These cloths may leave smear marks on half-mirror finish surfaces; if this happens, finish with a dry cloth.

Unplug the unit when cleaning.

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 performance. For this reason you should allow it to adjust to the warmer/cooler temperature for approximately an hour before switching on the unit.

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 solid, flat, level surface, such as a table, shelf or stereo rack.

Don’t...

Place where exposed to high temperatures or humidity, including near radiators and other heat-generating appliances.

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

Use in an excessively dusty or damp environment.

Place directly on top of an amplifier, or other component in your playback 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 close to a 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 supports.

Moving the player

If you need to move the player, first press

￿STANDBY/ON on the front panel to turn the player off. Wait for POWER indicator to turn orange, then unplug the power cable. Never lift or move the unit when a disc is playing or is still spinning as this shift may cause damage.

Power cable caution

Handle the power cable by the plug part. Do not pull out the plug by tugging the cable. Never touch the power cable when your hands are wet as this could cause a short circuit or electrical shock. Do not place anything on the power cord that could pinch or damage the cable in any other way. Never make a knot in the cable or tie it in a bundle with other cables. Power cables should be routed so that they are not likely to be stepped on. A damaged power cable can cause a fire or give an electric shock. Inspect the cord periodically for damage or wear. If it needs to be replaced, ask your nearest Pioneer authorized service center or your dealer for a replacement.
