Safety cautions

WARNING

To prevent a fire hazard, do not place any naked flame sources (such as a 
lighted candle) on the equipment.

 D3-4-2-1-7a_A1_En

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 
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.

CAUTION

The 

 STANDBY/ON switch on this unit will not completely shut off all 

power from the AC outlet. Since the power cord serves as the main 
disconnect device for the unit, you will need to unplug it from the AC 
outlet to shut down all power. Therefore, make sure the unit has been 
installed so that the power cord can be easily unplugged from the 
AC outlet in case of an accident. To avoid fire hazard, the power cord 
should also be unplugged from the AC outlet when left unused for a 
long period of time (for example, when on vacation).
