IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT NOTICE
The serial number for the equipment is located
on the rear of the product. Please write this
serial number on the warranty sheet and keep
it in a secure area for future reference.
VENTILATION CAUTION
When installing this unit, make sure to leave
space around the unit for ventilation to improve
heat radiation (at least 25 cm at top, 15 cm at
rear, and 10 cm at each side)
.
WARNING
Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided
for ventilation to ensure reliable operation of
the product, and to protect it from overheating.
To prevent fire hazard, the openings should
never be blocked or covered with items (such
as newspapers, table-cloths, curtains) or by
operating the equipment on thick carpet or
a bed.
WARNING
To prevent a fire hazard, do not place any
naked flame sources (such as a lighted candle)
on the equipment.
WARNING
This equipment is not waterproof. To prevent a
fire or shock hazard, do not place any container
filled with liquid near this equipment (such as
a vase or flower pot) or expose it to dripping,
splashing, rain or moisture.
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.
WARNING
Before plugging in for the first time, read the
following section carefully.
The voltage of the available power supply
differs according to country or region. Be
sure that the power supply voltage of the area
where this unit will be used meets the required
voltage (e.g., 230 V or 120 V) written on the
rear panel.
If the AC plug of this unit does not match
the AC outlet you want to use, the plug must
be removed and appropriate one fitted.
Replacement and mounting of an AC plug on
the power supply cord of this unit should be
performed only by qualified service personnel.
If connected to an AC outlet, the cut-off plug
can cause severe electrical shock. Make
sure it is properly disposed of after removal.
The equipment should be disconnected by
removing the mains plug from the wall socket
when left unused for a long period of time (for
example, when on vacation).
CAUTION
The POWER 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).
This product is for general household purposes.
Any failure due to use for other than household
purposes (such as long-term use for business
purposes in a restaurant or use in a car or ship)
and which requires repair will be charged for
even during the warranty period.
WARNING:
Handling the cord on this product
or cords associated with accessories sold
with the product may expose you to chemicals
listed on proposition 65 known to the State
of California and other governmental entities
to cause cancer and birth defect or other
reproductive harm.
