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 manufacturer 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
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.
Decibel
Level Example
30 Quiet library, soft whispers
40 Living room, refrigerator, bedroom away from traffic
50 Light traffic, normal conversation, quiet office
60 Air conditioner at 20 feet, sewing machine
70 Vacuum cleaner, hair dryer, noisy restaurant
80 Average city traffic, garbage disposals, alarm clock
at two feet.
THE FOLLOWING NOISES CAN BE DANGEROUS
UNDER CONSTANT EXPOSURE
90 Subway, motorcycle, truck traffic, lawn mower
100 Garbage truck, chain saw, pneumatic drill
120 Rock band concert in front of speakers, thunderclap
140 Gunshot blast, jet plane
180 Rocket launching pad

CARE OF DISCS
7How to hold discs
¶Be sure to store discs in their cases, away from high
temperatures and humidity, direct sunlight, and
extremely low temperatures.
¶Be sure to read disc instructions.
7Cleaning
¶Fingerprints or other dirt on the
disc may affect sound and picture
quality.Gentlywipe fromtheinside
toward the outer edge.
¶Discs must not be cleaned with record cleaning sprays,
or static prevention sprays, etc. Also do not use volatile
liquids such as benzine, or thinner, etc.
¶You are recommended to use the separately sold JV-
D11 Cleaning Set to clean discs.
¶For stubborn dirt, soak the cloth in a weak detergent
solution; wring well first and wipe. Use a dry cloth to
wipe it dry.
¶Never play cracked or warped discs.
¶Donot scratch or stick paper orseals on the label side of
a disc. Glue may seep out, preventing ejection of a disc
or causing other problems. Rental discs often have
labels, so check that no glue is seeping out before
playing to avoid such problems.
Caution Before Using
Caution Before Using
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, 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
isexposed to the breezefrom an air conditioner. In such cases,
change the location of the player.
15cm dia. or more
Do not play a CD with a special shape
Do not play a CD having other shape than a circular disc,
such as a heart shaped disc. Otherwise malfunction may
occur.
LD/CD lens cleaner
The player’s pickup lens should not get dirty in normal use,
but if for some reason it should malfunction due to soiling,
consult your nearest PIONEER authorized service center.
Special care should be exercised as some lens cleaning discs
may damage the lens. Ejecting some cleaning discs may also
be impossible after use.
Notes on using the optional
optical cable

storing, wind the cable so that it has a diameter of at
least 15 cm.
¶When connecting, push the plug all the way into the
