PUT BATTERIES INTO THE REMOTE

CONTROL UNIT

Open the lid of the battery compartment on the rear of the remote control unit, and insert the batteries, taking care to align the ?? and ?? polarities correctly.

Notes!!

??In order to prevent battery leakage, remove the batteries when not using the remote control unit for an extended period (one month or more). If leakage occurs, carefully wipe away any battery fluid inside the compartment, and replace the batteries with new ones.

??Do not allow books or other objects to rest on top of the re- mote control unit, since the buttons may be depressed, causing faster exhaustion of the batteries.

Incorrect use of batteries may cause leakage or rupture. Always be sure to follow these guidelines:

A.Always insert batteries into the battery compartment cor- rectly matching the positive ?? and negative ?? polarities, as shown by the display inside the compartment.

B.Never mix new and used batteries.

C.Batteries of the same size may have different voltages, depending on brand. Do not mix different brands of batter- ies.

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.

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, 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.

Precautions regarding installation

??Placing and using the compact disc player for long periods on heat-generating sources such as amplifiers will affect perfor- mance. 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 pic- ture.

??Such noise may be particularly noticeable when an indoor an- tenna 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

To clean the PLAYER, wipe with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, wet a soft cloth with a mild detergent solution made by dilut- ing 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 conven- tional analog audio records. Be careful not to allow discs to warp; always store discs in their cases vertically, avoiding loca- tions with high heat or humidity, or extremely low tempera- tures. 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 exer- cised in their use since some may cause damage to the lens.

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 to- ward 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.

Record cleaning

sprays Thinner Benzene

With this unit, use a Compact Disc carrying the mark shown below. Do not use other disc, for this may result in malfunc- tion or damage.

??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 dam- aged (cracked or warped) discs.

??Do not play a CD with a special shape (having other shape than a circular disc, such as a heart shaped disc). Otherwise mal- function may occur.

Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you???ve just purchased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it???s time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your equipment offers. This manufac- turer and the Electronic Industries Association???s Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the sound come through loud and clear without annoying blaring or distortion-and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing.

Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing ???comfort level??? adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds ???normal??? can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.

To establish a safe level:

??Start your volume control at a low setting.

??Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.

Once you have established a comfortable sound level:

?? Set the dial and leave it there.

Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss in the future. After all, we want you listening for a lifetime.

We Want You Listening For A Lifetime

Used wisely, your new sound equipment will provide a lifetime of fun and enjoyment. Since hearing damage from loud noise is often undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association???s Consumer Electronics Group recommend you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise. This list of sound levels is included for your protection.
