HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

FOR SAFETY

Do not install the unit on any unsteady platform or desk,
etc., as the unit is tall and heavy.

Do not stack the units or do not place a heavy object on
the unit. It is extremely dangerous to do this, because the
objects may fall off or the unit may topple over. (Any
damage or injury suffered as a result of such installation is
the sole responsibility of the user. )

Attach the placement fixtures first after unpacking the
changer.

If it is moved before they are attached, there

is a danger of it toppling over or of the cables on the
rear being damaged.

Always be sure not to insert your hand into the 20-
disc hyper magazine bay or not to touch any parts
inside of the bay when the power has been turned on,
otherwise it may result in bodily injury.

The Changer can accommodate only the discs with a
diameter of 12cm (5in). As the Changer detects the
presence of disc with optical detection of the position at
about 5mm (3/16in) inside the external periphery of the
12cm (5in) disc, the use of a disc which is transparent at
the corresponding position or a 8cm (3in) disc may lead to
disc detection error and to the disc damage in the worst
case. Also, the use of a 8cm disc adapter is strictly
prohibited.

For safety reasons, the DRM-7000/DRM-3000 is designed
so that the access doors cannot be opened while the
changer mechanism or internal drives are in operation.

The high speed rotation of discs or the operation of the
high speed disc transport mechanism in the DRM-7000/
DRM-3000 causes slight vibrations and noise, but this does
not indicate a problem. And it does not effect the
performance of the changer.

CONDENSATION

If the temperature difference between the changer and
environment is too large, water will condense in the changer
and the system may not provide proper performance. For
example, if you bring the changer into a warm room from
outside in cold weather, or if you increase room temperature
abruptly, condensation may result. If condensation occurs,
leave the changer for one hour in the room, or increase room
temperature gradually before using it.

CLEANING THE CHANGER

To clean the panel and the cover, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe
off dust and dirt. If the cabinet is heavily soiled, wipe off the
dirt using a soft cloth soaked with neutral detergent diluted 5
to 6 times. Then wipe the water off with a dry cloth. Do not
use benzine, thinner, insecticide or similar volatile chemicals,
as they may dissolve or discolor the cabinet surface. If you
use a chemical polishing cloth, carefully read the instructions
supplied with it.

INSTALLATION

Select an installation site with a flat, solid surface.
Do not install the system where it will suffer any of the
following:

Exposure to direct sunlight or a heater

High humidity or dust

Proximity to bathroom or kitchen

Exposure to spotlight

Proximity to any large electric apparatus such as a
refrigerator, air conditioner, dimmer, etc.

Uneven or unsteady installation surface.
(If the surface is not flat, first put down a hard plate or
similar support so that the system is installed level.)

Difficulty of service and maintenance.

If the changer is to be installed next to a wall, a minimum of
at least 50 cm of space must be provided between the back
of the changer and the wall.
Avoid placing objects directly on the changer.

HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

Be careful not to stain, scratch or leave fingerprint, etc.,
on the signal surface, or recording surface of the discs.
The specified playback performance or recording
performance may not be obtained with such discs.

Do not insert more than one disc in a mailslot, otherwise
malfunction will result.

The Changer does not manage the disc contents. The data
should be managed by involving the host.

Use only recording discs recommended by Pioneer. The
specified recording performance or playback performance
may not be obtained if a non-recommended disc is used.
Please note that the data recorded on discs is not covered
by our warranty.

Pioneer may not be held liable for the loss of any data or
any other direct or indirect damage suffered as the result
of the use or breakdown of this product. It is strongly
recommended that regular backups be taken of all critical
data.

Please be careful not to lose the lock release keys provided
with your DRM-7000/DRM-3000, otherwise you could not
manage your changer any more. The lock release key
certifies you as a system administrator and gives you a
privilege to open access doors, to eject a hyper magazine
and to use a mailslot.

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.
