For Proper and Long Use of This Unit
Do not move the unit during playback
During playback, the disc rotates at high speed. Do NOT lift or move the unit during playback. Doing so may damage the disc.

Condensation
Moisture may form in the operating section of the player if the player is brought from cool surroundings into a warm room or if the temperature of the room rises suddenly. When this happens, the player�s performance will be impaired. To prevent this, let the player stand in its new surroundings for about an hour before switching it on, or make sure that the room temperature rises gradually. Condensation may also form during the summer if the player is exposed to the breeze from an air conditioner. In such cases, change the location of the player.

When moving the unit
When changing places of installation or packing the unit for moving, be sure to remove the disc and return the disc table to its original position in the player. Then, press STANDBY/ON and switch the power to standby. Check that the �--OFF--� indication on the display goes off, then disconnect the power cord. Moving this unit with the disc loaded may result in damage to this unit.

Switch POWER to STANDBY when not using the unit
Depending on the strength of the TV or radio broadcast signal, having the TV or radio on while power to the unit is on may result in stripes on the TV screen or noise. However, this is not a malfunction of this unit or the TV or radio. In such a case, switch the power of the unit to standby.

Installation
� Select a stable place to the side of a TV set or stereo system to be connected to the unit. � When using the unit with a stereo system, install the speakers a little bit away from the TV. � Do NOT install the unit on top of a TV or color monitor. Install the unit away from equipment that may be affected by magnetism, such as a cassette deck. � Do NOT place objects on top of the unit.

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 in such a way 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.

Avoid installing in a place that is:
� Exposed to direct sunlight � Exposed to humidity or where ventilation is poor � Extremely hot or cold � Exposed to vibration � Exposed to dust � Exposed to oily smoke, steam or heat (for example, a kitchen)

Do not block vents
Do NOT use the player on top of a long-fibered carpet, bed or sofa, and do not cover it with a cloth, etc. This will prevent heat radiation and could result in damage.

Cleaning the player
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. 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.

Avoid heat
Do NOT place the unit on equipment which generates heat, such as an amplifier. When installing the unit in a rack, place it on the lowest shelf possible (however, not where it is exposed to dust) and separated from the amplifier to avoid the heat generated by the amplifier or other audio equipment.

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 are commercially available, but special care should be exercised in their use since some may cause damage to the lens.

CAUTION: WHEN PLACING THE UNIT IN A STEREO RACK WITH GLASS DOORS
Be sure there is ample space between the unit and the glass doors when opening the disc table using the remote control. If the disc table opens against strong resistance, such as a closed glass door, damage to the unit may result.

Notes on using optical cables
� Do not route cords around sharp angles. When storing, wind the cords so that they have a diameter of at least 15 cm dia. 15 cm. or more � When connecting, push all the way into the terminal. � Do not use cords with a length of over 3 m. � If moisture or dust has collected on the plug, wipe it with a soft cloth before connecting.
