Condensation
Moisture may form in the operating section of the player
if the player is brought from cool surroundings into a
warm room or if the temperature of the room rises
suddenly. When this happens, the player’s performance
will be impaired.
To prevent this, let the player stand in its new
surroundings for about an hour before switching it on, or
make sure that the room temperature rises gradually.
Condensation may also form during the summer if the
player is exposed to
the breeze from an air
conditioner. In such
cases, change the
location of the player.
Switch POWER to STANDBY when not using
the unit
Depending on the strength of the TV or radio broadcast
signal, having the TV or radio on while
power to the unit is on may result in
stripes on the TV screen or noise.
However, this is not a malfunction of
this unit or the TV or radio. In such a
case, switch the power of the unit to
standby.
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 in such a way 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 player
To clean the PLAYER, wipe with a soft, dry cloth. For
stubborn dirt, wet a soft cloth with a mild detergent
solution made by diluting one part detergent to 5 or 6
parts water, wring well, then wipe off the dirt. Also use a
dry cloth to wipe the surface dry. Do not use volatile
liquids such as benzene and thinner which are harmful to
the unit.
Notes on using optical cables
• Do not route cords around sharp angles. When storing,
wind the cords so that they have a
diameter of at least 15 cm.
• When connecting, push all the way
into the terminal.
• Do not use cords with a length of
over 3 m.
• If moisture or dust has collected on
the plug, wipe it with a soft cloth
before connecting.
