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. Also, installation of the
player in a damp or dusty environment may result in malfunction or
accident.
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 such as amplifiers.
Install this compact disc player as far as possible from tuners and
TV sets. 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.
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.
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
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.
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
playersare 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.
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 antistatic 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 (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.
