Handling Precautions
Installation
Select an installation site with a flat, solid surface.
Do not install the system where it will suffer any of the
following:
1
Exposure to direct sunlight or a heater
2
High humidity or dust
3
Proximity to bathroom or kitchen
4
Exposure to spotlight
5
Proximity to any large electric apparatus such as a
refrigerator, air conditioner, dimmer, etc.
6
Uneven or unsteady installation surface
7
Difficulty of service and maintenance
If you install the system close to a wall, be sure to leave
a space between the wall and the system so that the
rear of the system is accessible.
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.
÷
The unit can accommodate only the discs with a
diameter of 12 cm (4.72").
÷
Since the disc rotates at a high speed in the unit,
vibrations or noise may be generated as a result.
Note that this is not a malfunction and that it will not
exert adverse effects on the performance of the unit.
Condensation
If the temperature difference between the unit and
environment is too large, water will condense in the unit
and the system may not provide proper performance.
For example, if you bring the unit into a warm room from
outside in cold weather, or if you increase room
temperature abruptly, condensation may result.
If condensation occurs, leave the unit for one hour in the room,
or increase room temperature gradually before using it.
Handling the discs
÷
Use only those discs which display
the mark shown th the right.
÷
Avoid touching the signal surface when you use a disc
÷
To hold it, place your fingers on the edge of the disc
or the edge of the center hole and the disc edge
÷
Do not attach paper or stickers to the label side of the disc
Handle discs carefully and avoid damaging the label
÷
Discs rotate at high speed in the unit. Do not use
defective discs (e.g., cracked or considerably warped)
as such discs may damage the unit
Disc care
÷
Fingerprints or dust on the disc will not directly
influence the recorded signals. However, sound
quality may decline since such contamination
diminishes the intensity of the light reflected from
the signal side.
Therefore, discs should be kept
clean. When you clean a disc,
use a soft cloth and carefully
wipe towards the outer edge
of the disc.
÷
If the disc is heavily soiled, wipe off the dirt using a
soft cloth soaked with water. Wipe excess water off
with a dry cloth.
÷
Do not use an aresol record cleaner or antistatic
agent. Do not use benzine, thinner or similar volatile
chemicals as they may damage the disc surface.
Disc storage
÷
CDs are made of plastic, like conventional audio
records. Take proper care to prevent discs from
warping. Always put them in a case and store
vertically away from humidity or extremes of
temperature.
Do not leave your discs in a car for a long periods.
÷
Read the instructions supplied with the discs.
CAUTION
7
This unit contains a hard disk drive and must
not be exposed to shock.

data is written to the disk). The front panel HDD
indicator shows hard disk operation. See page
8 for details.
7
Do not connect a CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive
other than a Pioneer drive to the SCSI terminal
on the rear panel. Do not connect this terminal
to a SCSI controller as this could cause
malfunction or breakdown.
