LINE VOLTAGE SELECTOR SWITCH
Only multi-voltage models are provided with this switch.
U.S., Canadian, European, U.K., and Australian models
are not provided with this switch.
The line voltage selector switch is located on the rear panel of
this player. Before your player is shipped from the factory, the
switch is set to the power requirements of the player's
destination. Check that it is set properly before plugging the
power cord into the outlet. If the voltage is not properly set or
if you move to an area where the voltage requirements differ,
adjust the selector switch as follows:
Use a medium-sized (flat blade) screwdriver. Insert the tip of
the screwdriver into the groove of the selector switch and turn
it to set the player to the power voltage of your area.
VOLTAGE
SELECTOR
Set the selector so that arrow
points to power voltage of your
area (Figure shows arrow pointing
to 220 - 240 volts.)

PRECAUTIONS |
|
r
If it becomes necessary to transport or ship this unit
in the future, be sure to first remove the disc (if
loaded), and retract the disc table to its closed position.
Then turn the power off, and, after the “OFF” display
goes out on the display, disconnect the power cord.
INSTALLING THE PLAYER
@ Place the player ona stable platform next to the television
and stereo system to be used with the player.
@ Do not place heavy objects such as a television or TV
monitor on tap of the player.
@ Do not place the player on top of your TV set or TV
monitor. Also, keep the player away from devices such
as cassette decks which are sensitive to magnetic fields.
DO NOT INSTALL THE PLAYER IN THE FOLLOWING
LOCATIONS
In a place subject to direct sunlight.
In humid or poorly ventilated places.
In extremely hot or cold places.
In a place subject to vibrations.
In a dusty place.
In a place subject to soot, steam or heat {in a kitchen, etc.)
@#eeee¢6
AVOID SOURCES OF HEAT
Do not put the player on sources of heat, such as an
amplifier. When installing with audio components on a rack,
avoid components that generate heat, by placing the player
below such components where there is adequate ventilation
and not.much dust. Avoid placing the player on surfaces
such as shaggy carpets, beds, and sofas which may block
ventilation under the player and cause damage.
CAUTION
Even when the player is in the pause mode, the disc-drive
motoris still revolving. Since leaving the player in this condition
can shorten the lifetime of the motor, do not leave the player
in the pause mode for long periods of time. Also, to prevent
the damage to the screen, do not use the unit for long periods
of time under conditions in which the screen display (monitor)
has been displayed characters (for example, power-ON made,
CD PLAY, PAUSE or DEMO mode (see back cover).
With LD discs, if playback is paused for about 20 minutes, the
player will automatically enter stop mode.
STRIPE PATTERNS APPEARING ON A TV
PROGRAM
Stripe patterns may appear during a TV program if the player
unit is turned on, depending on the quality of reception of
the TV station. This is neither a malfunction of the television
nor the player. If stripes appear while watching the TV, or
when watching the TV for long periods of time, turn the
player off.
When FM or AM stations are being received, signal noise
may be generated if the player is turned on. Turn off the
player when not in use. Also, if there is signal noise when
teceiving radio stations with an indoor antenna, adjust the
position or direction of the antenna.
CONDENSATION -
Moisture will 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, 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.
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 such a way that they are not likely to be
stepped on. A damaged power cord can cause fire or give you an
electrical shock. Check the power cord regularly. When you find it
damaged, ask your nearest PIONEER authorized service center or
your dealer for a replacement.
CLEANING CARE
Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning. For stubborn dirt, soak the
cloth in a weak detergent solution; wring well first and wipe.
Use a dry cloth to wipe it dry. Do not use any volatile agents
such as benzine or paint thinner, as they may damage the
surface of the player.
LD/CD lens cleaner
The player's pickup lens should not become dirty in normal
use, but is for some reason it should malfunction due to
soiling, ask your nearest PIONEER authorized service center.
Lens cleaners for LD/CD players are commercially available,
but special care should be exercised in their use since some
may cause damage to the lens.
Abnormal functioning of this unit may be caused by
lightning, static electricity, or other external inter-
ference. To restore normal operation, unplug the AC
power cord and then plug it in again.
Only one disc can be loaded at any one time. Loading a
LaserDisc, a Compact Disc, a 8 cm Compact Disc or a
Compact Disc with Video on top of one another may
result in a breakdown, or in scratching of the discs. Please
only load one disc at a time.
This player is to be used exclusively with the NTSC color
system. Please use NTSC LaserDisc only. PAL and SECAM
system discs cannot be used with this player. 5

videodisc).
LaserDisc players and discs which bear this symbol and use the
same television system, are mutually compatible.
** & Digital Sound with Multi Audio Disc (CD VIDEO LD) and a CDV
{CD Video CDV) are referred to as CD Video discs. CD Videodises
are recorded with subcodes, which are the non-audio recordings
of TOC (Table of Contents) data such as track numbers, index
numbers, etc. However, there are some discs without these
marks.
