Condensation
If the player is moved suddenly from a cold place into a
warm room (in winter, for example) or if the
temperature in the room in which the player is installed
rises suddenly due to a heater, etc., water droplets
(condensation) may form inside (on operating parts and
the lens). When condensation is present, the player will
not operate properly and playback is not possible. Let
the player stand at room temperature for 1 or 2 hours
with the power turned on (the time depends on the
extent of condensation). The water droplets will
dissipate and playback will 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 player to a
different place.
S005_A1_En
If the ACplug of this unit does not match the AC
outlet you want to use, the plug must be removed
and appropriate one fitted. Replacement and
mounting of an ACplug on the power supply cord of
this unit should be performed only by qualified
service personnel. If connected to an ACoutlet, the
cut-off plug can cause severe electrical shock. Make
sure it is properly disposed of after removal.
The equipment should be disconnected by removing
the mains plug from the wall socket when left unused
for along period of time (for example, when on
vacation).
D3-4-2-2-1a_A1_En
CAUTION
The STANDBY/ON switch on this unit will not
completely shut off all power from the ACoutlet.
Since the power cord serves as the main disconnect
device for the unit, you will need to unplug it from the
ACoutlet to shut down all power. Therefore, make
sure the unit has been installed so that the power
cord can be easily unplugged from the ACoutlet in
case of an accident. To avoid fire hazard, the power
cord should also be unplugged from the ACoutlet
when leftunused for along period of time (for
example, when on vacation).

Precautions
lUse the unit on a firm, level surface free from vibration.
lPlace the speakers at least 30 cm away from any CRT TV
to avoid colour variations across the TV screen. If the
variations persist, move the speakers further away from
the TV. LCD TV is not prone to such variation.
lKeep the unit away from direct sunlight, strong
magnetic fields, excessive dust, humidity and
electronic/electrical equipment (home computers,
facsimiles, etc.) which generate electrical noise.
lDo not place anything on top of the unit.
lDo not expose the unit to moisture, to temperatures
higher than 60°C (140°F) or to extremely low
temperatures.
lIf your system does not work properly, disconnect the
AC power lead from the wall socket. Plug the AC power
lead back in, and then turn on your system.
lIn case of an electrical storm, unplug the unit for safety.
lHold the AC power plug by the head when removing it
from the wall socket, as pulling the lead can damage
internal wires.
lThe AC power plug is used as a disconnect device and
shall always remain readily operable.
l Do not remove the outer cover, as this may result in
electric shock. Refer internal service to your local
PIONEER service facility.
lThe ventilation should not be impeded by covering the
ventilation openings with items, such as newspapers,
tablecloths, curtains, etc.
lNo naked flame sources, such as lighted candles,
should be placed on the apparatus.
lAttention should be drawn to the environmental aspects
of battery disposal.
lThe apparatus is designed for use in moderate climates.
Warning:
The voltage used must be the same as that specified on this
unit. Using this product with a higher voltage other than
that which is specified is dangerous and may result in a fire
or other type of accident causing damage. PIONEER will
not be held responsible for any damage resulting from use
of this unit with a voltage other than that which is specified.
lThe sound level at a given volume setting depends on
speaker efficiency, location and various other factors. It
is advisable to avoid exposure to high volume levels,
which occurs whilst turning the unit on with the volume
control setting up high, or whilst continually listening at
high volumes. Excessive sound pressure from
earphones and headphones can cause hearing loss.

System connections
Supplied FM aerial:
Connect the FM aerial wire to the FM 75 OHMS socket and
position the FM aerial wire in the direction where the
strongest signal can be received.
External FM aerial:
Use an external FM aerial (75 ohms coaxial cable) for better
reception. When an external FM aerial is used, disconnect
the supplied FM aerial wire.
Supplied AM loop aerial:
Connect the AM loop aerial to the AM terminal. Position the
AM loop aerial for optimum reception. Place the AM loop
aerial on a shelf, etc., or attach it to a stand or a wall with
screws (not supplied).
Note:
Placing the aerial on the unit or near the AC power lead may
cause noise pickup. Place the aerial away from the unit for
better reception.
The iPod with photo and video can be viewed by connecting
to a TV/monitor.
If the TV/monitor has a video input, connect it to the VIDEO
OUT socket on the rear of the unit.
Note:
Please make sure to set iPod unit to either NTSC or PAL to
match your TV signal. Please visit Apple’s home page for
further information.
After checking all the connections have been made
correctly, plug the AC power lead of this unit into the wall
socket. If you plug in the unit first, the unit will enter the
stand-by mode.
Note:
Unplug the AC power lead from the wall socket if the unit
will not be in use for a prolonged period of time.
CAUTION
Handle the power cord by the plug part. 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,
or other object on the power cord or pinch the cord in any
other way. Never make a knot in the cord or tie it with other
cables. The power cords should be routed so that they are
not likely to be stepped on. A damaged power cord can
cause a fire or give you an electric shock. Check the power
cord once in a while. If you find it damaged, ask your
nearest Pioneer authorized independent service company
for a replacement.
Before making or changing the connections, switch off the power and disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet.

WARNNIG:
lDo not use or store batteries in direct sunlight or other
excessively hot place, such as inside a car or near a
heater. This can cause batteries to leak, overheat,
explode or catch fire. It can also reduce the life or
performance of batteries.
Caution:
lWhen inserting the batteries, make sure not to damage
the springs on the battery’s (
– ) terminals.
l Replace all old batteries with new ones at the same time.
lDo not mix old and new batteries.
lRemove the batteries if the unit will not be used for a
long period of time. This will prevent potential damage
due to battery leakage.
lDo not use rechargeable batteries (nickel-cadmium
battery, etc.).
lInstalling the batteries incorrectly may cause the unit to
malfunction.
Notes concerning use:
l Replace the batteries if the operating distance is reduced
or if the operation becomes erratic. Purchase 2 “AAA”
size batteries (UM/SUM-3, R6, HP-7 or similar).
lPeriodically clean the transmitter on the remote control
and the sensor on the unit with a soft cloth.
lExposing the sensor on the unit to strong light may
interfere with operation. Change the lighting or the
direction of the unit if this occurs.
lKeep the remote control away from moisture, heat,
