Storing discs
÷
Discs are made of the same kinds of plastic used for conventional
analog audio records. Be careful not to allow discs to warp;
always store discs in their cases vertically, avoiding locations
with high heat or humidity, or extremely low temperatures.
Avoid leaving discs in cars, since the seat of a car in direct
sunlight can become unbelievably hot.
÷
Always read and abide by the precautionary notes listed on disc
labels.
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.
CD lens cleaner
The player's pickup lens should not become dirty in normal use, but
if for some reason it should malfunction due to soiling, consult your
nearest PIONEER authorized service center. Lens cleaners for CD
players are commercially available, but special care should be exercised
in their use since some may cause damage to the lens.
Condensation
When this unit is brought into a warm room from previously cold
surroundings or when the room temperature rises sharply,
condensation may form inside, and the unit may not be able to
attain its full performance. If this occurs, allow the unit to stand for
about an hour or raise the room temperature gradually.
Cleaning and handling compact discs
÷
The presence of fingerprints or smudges on the surface of the
disc will not directly affect the recorded signals, but depending
on the degree of contamination, the brightness of the light
reflected from the signal surfaces may be reduced, causing
degradation of sound quality. Always keep your discs clean by
wiping them gently with a soft cloth from the inner edge toward
the outer periphery.
÷
If a disc becomes very dirty, dip a soft cloth in water, and after
wringing it out well, wipe the dirt away gently, and then remove
any water drops with another soft, dry cloth.
÷
Do not use record cleaning sprays or anti-static agents on discs.
Also, never clean discs with benzene, thinner, or other volatile
solvents, since damage to the disc surface may result.
Location
Install the unit in a well-ventilated location where it will not be
exposed to high temperatures or humidity.
Do not install the unit in a location which is exposed to direct rays
of the sun, or near hot appliances or radiators. Excessive heat can
adversely affect the cabinet and internal components. Installation
of the unit in a damp or dusty environment may also result in a
malfunction or an accident. (Avoid installation near cookers etc.,
where the unit may be exposed to oily smoke, steam or heat.)
Do not install the unit on a tottered stand, nor in an unstable or
inclined surface.
Precautions regarding installation
÷
Placing and using the compact disc player for long periods on
heat-generating sources such as amplifiers will affect
performance. Avoid placing the player on heat-generating
sources.
÷
Install this compact disc player as far as possible from tuners
and TV sets. A compact disc player installed in close proximity
to such equipment may cause noise or degradation of the picture.
÷
Such noise may be particularly noticeable when an indoor
antenna is used. In such cases, make use of an outdoor antenna,
or turn off power to the compact disc player.
÷
Please place this unit on a level surface.
CAUTIONS REGARDING HANDLING
CAUTIONS REGARDING HANDLING
With this unit, use a Compact Disc carrying the mark shown
below. Do not use other disc, for this may result in malfunction
or damage.
÷
When holding discs, do not touch their signal surfaces. Hold by
the edges, or by one edge and the center hole.
÷
Do not affix gummed labels or tape to the label surfaces. Also,
do not scratch or damage the label.
÷
Discs rotate at high speed inside the player. Do not use damaged
(cracked or warped) discs.
÷
Do not play a CD with a special shape (having other shape than a
circular disc, such as a heart shaped disc). Otherwise malfunction
may occur.
Re-transporting
When re-transporting this unit in the future, remove all discs from the
rack. Turn off the STANDBY/ON switch, wait for "OFF" to go out from
the display, and unplug the power cord.
