The Safety
of
Your
Ears
is
in
Your Hands
Get
the most
out
of your equipment
by
playing it at a
safe
level-
a level that lets the sound come through
clearly 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 highervolumes of sound, so
what sounds "norma
l"
can actually
be
loud and
harmful to your hearing. Guard against this
by
setting
yo
ur
equipment at a safe
level
BEFORE
your hearing
adapts.
ESTABLISH
A
SAFE
LEVEL:
• Set your
vo
lume control at a low setting.
• Slowly
incr
ease t
he
sound until
you
can hear it
comfortably and clearly, without distortion.
• Once
you
have established a comfortable sound
level,
set the dial and leave it there.
BE
SURE
TO
OBSERVE
THE
FOLLOWING
GUIDELINES:
•
Do
not turn up the
vo
lume
so
high that you ca
n't
hear what's around you.
•
Use
caution
or
temporarily discontinue use
in
potentially hazardous situations.
•
Do
not use headphones while operating a motorized
vehicl
e;
the use of h
ea
dphones may create a
tr
affic
hazard and is illegal
in
many areas.

POWER-CORD
CAUTION
Hand
le
the power cord
by
the plug. Do not pu
ll
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 shoc
k.
Do not place the unit, a
piece offurniture, etc., on the power cord, or pinch the
cord. Never make a knot
in
the cord ortie 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 w
hi
l
e.
When
yo
u find it
damaged, ask your nearest PIONEER authori
zed
service center or your dealer for a replacement.

Condensation
If the pla
ye
r
is
moved suddenly from a cold place into a
warm room (in winter, forexample) or if the
temperature
in
the room
in
which the player is installed
ri
ses suddenly due to a h
ea
t
er,
etc., water droplets
(condensation) may form inside
(on
operating parts and
the lens
).
When condensation
is
present, the player will
not operate properly and pla
yb
ack
is
not possibl
e.
Let
the player stand at room tem
pe
rature for 1
or
2 hou
rs
with the power turned on (the time depends on the
extent of condensation).
The
wa
ter
droplets will
dissipate and
pl
ayback wi
ll
become possible.
Condensation can also occur in the summer if the
player
is
exposed to the direct wind from an
air-conditioner. If this happens, move the pla
ye
r to a
different place.
