Cautions Regarding Handling - Pioneer PD-M407 Manual De Instrucciones

CAUTIONS REGARDING HANDLING

LOCATION
Install the player in a well-ventilated location where it will not be
exposed to high temperatures or humidity.
Do not install the player in a location which is exposed to direct rays
of the sun, or near stoves or radiators. Excessive heat can adversely
affect the cabinet and internal components. Installation of the player
in a damp or dusty environment may also result in a malfunction or an
accident. (Avoid installation near cookers etc., where the player may
be exposed to oily smoke, steam or heat.)
Do not install the player on a tottered stand nor in an unstable or
inclined place.
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.
CLEANING THE PLAYER AND THE MAGAZINE
To clean the PLAYER and the MAGAZINE, 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.
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.
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
÷ 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.
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 (the side
reflecting a "rainbow" pattern, opposite the label side). 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.
CAUTION RE: USE OF SHAPED CD's
This product is designed for use with conventional, fully circular CD's
only. Use of shaped CD's is not recommended for this product.
Pioneer disclaims all liability arising in connection with the use of
shaped CD's.

NOTES:
÷ In order to play an 8-cm (3-inch) CD you will need a special
Multi CD Magazine (JD-M108, JD-M308) which is sold separately.
Be sure to thoroughly read the Operating Instructions before using
it.
÷ 8-cm (3-inch) CD Adapters
It is possible that even an adapter which meets recommended
standard CD specifications will not be usable with the CD player.
It is recommended that the special Multi CD Magazine (JD-M108,
JD-M308) be used.
÷ Never load an 8-cm (3-inch) CD or its adapter into a standard 12-
cm (5-inch) magazine. This may seriously damage the CD player.
÷ Do not insert only an 8-cm (3-inch) disc and adapter into the
supplied magazine.
