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 aiso result in a malfunction or accident. (Avoid installation near cookers etc., where the player may be exposed to oily smoke, steam or heat.)

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, contact 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. In cases like this, allow the unit to stand for about an hour or raise the room temperature gradually.

Precautions regarding installation

÷ Placing and using the compact disc player for long periods on heat-generating sources such as amplifiers or near spotlights, etc. 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. ÷ When the unit is used in a loud-sound environment, for example near a speaker, sound skip may occur. In such a case, install the unit apart from the speaker or reduce the listening volume. ÷ Please place this unit on a level surface and a stable flatform. ÷ Besure that the player, including its audio and power supply cords, dose not touch vibrating materials. This player has a shock absorber incorporated in the insulators to absorb vibration. Any other cause of vibration, other than the insulators, may cause the disc to skip.
Do not place on or against vibrating materials!

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. ÷ With this player, use discs which display the mark shown below. (Optical audio digital discs.) ÷ 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.

Cleaning the player
To clean the PLAYER wipe with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, moisten a soft cloth with a weak solution of neutral detergent (diluted in five to six parts water), wring the cloth well, and wipe away 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.

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.
