Before Operating (Handling Precautions)
Handling Precautions
Installation location
¶ Placing and using the player for long periods on heat-generat-
ing sources such as amplifiers or near spotlights, etc. will af-
fect product performance. Avoid placing the player on heat-
generating sources.
¶ Install this player as far as possible away from tuners and TV
sets. The player installed in close proximity to such equip-
ment may cause noise or degradation of the picture.
Noise may be noticeable when an indoor antenna is used. In
such cases, make use of an outdoor antenna or turn off power
to the player.
¶ When the unit is used in a loud-sound environment, e.g., near
a speaker, sound skip may occur. Install the unit away from
the speaker or reduce the listening volume.
¶ Place this unit on a level surface and a stable platform.
Take adequate note of the following precautions when pre-
paring a place for installation:
Be sure the player, including its video, audio and power supply
cords, does not touch vibrating materials. Any vibration other
than that transmitted through the insulators may cause the disc
to skip. Take special care when using the player while it is in-
stalled in a carrying case.
Leave space to allow for heat
dissipation.

Moving the unit
I Never move the unit during playback!
During playback, a disc rotates at very high speed; moving the
player during playback may result in scratches or other damage
to the disc.
I When moving the unit is necessary
Before moving the unit, remove any disc and disconnect the
power. Malfunctions or damage may result if the unit is moved
with a disc loaded. Also take care to prevent exposing the unit to
heat or moisture during transport.

About the carrying case
The upper surface of the jog dial is equipped with a touch-sensi-
tive switch. When placing the player in its carrying case, avoid
placing any pressure on the jog dial.
Condensation
When this unit is brought into a warm room from previously cold
surroundings or when the room temperature rises sharply, con-
densation may form inside the unit and impair its performance.
In such cases, disconnect the power cord and allow the unit to
set for 1 to 2 hours, or raise the room temperature gradually
before playing.
Cleaning the player
To clean the player wipe with a polishing or a soft, dry cloth. For
stubborn dirt, moisten a soft cloth with a weak solution of neu-
tral detergent (diluted in five to six parts water), wring the cloth
well, and wipe away the dirt. Use a dry cloth to wipe the surface
dry. Do not use volatile liquids such as benzene or thinner which
will damage the unit.
About the lens cleaner
The player's pickup lens should not become dirty in normal use.
If for some reason, the lens becomes soiled and malfunctions,
contact your nearest PIONEER authorized service center. Lens
cleaners for DVD (CD) players are commercially available, but
special care should be exercised in their use as some may cause
damage to the lens.
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 near-
est PIONEER authorized service center or your dealer for a re-
placement.
Regarding data recorded on memory cards
It is the users responsibility to make regular backups of important
memory card data. Pioneer disclaims any responsibility for damage
to or loss of memory card data, or other incidental damages arising
from incompatibilities of the player and memory card, static electric-
ity or other external causes.
