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.

Cleaning the unit

• Use a polishing cloth or dry cloth to wipe

off dust and dirt.

• When the surface is dirty, wipe with a soft

cloth dipped in some neutral cleanser

diluted five or six times with water, and

wrung out well, and then wipe again with a

dry cloth. Do not use furniture wax or

cleansers.

• Never use thinners, benzine, insecticide

sprays or other chemicals on or near this

unit, since these will corrode the surface.

S001_En

Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit

you’ve just purchased is only the start of your

musical enjoyment. Now it’s time to consider how

you can maximize the fun and excitement your

equipment offers. This manufacturer and the

Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer

Electronics Group want you to get the most out of

your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that

lets the sound come through loud and clear without

annoying blaring or distortion-and, most importantly,

without affecting your sensitive hearing.

Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing

“comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of sound.

So what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and

harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by

setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your

hearing adapts.

To establish a safe level:

• Start your volume control at a low setting.

• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it

comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.

Once you have established a comfortable sound

level:

• Set the dial and leave it there.

Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent

hearing damage or loss in the future. After all, we

want you listening for a lifetime.

We Want You Listening For A Lifetime

Used wisely, your new sound equipment will

provide a lifetime of fun and enjoyment. Since

hearing damage from loud noise is often

undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer

and the Electronic Industries Association’s

Consumer Electronics Group recommend you avoid

prolonged exposure to excessive noise. This list of

sound levels is included for your protection.
