Before Operating (Handling Precautions) Handling Precautions Installation location ¶ Placing and using the player for long periods on heat-generating sources such as amplifiers or near spotlights, etc. will affect product performance. Avoid placing the player on heatgenerating sources. ¶ Install this player as far as possible away from tuners and TV sets. The player installed in close proximity to such equipment may cause noise or degradation of the picture. Noise may be noticeable when an indoor antenna is used. In such cases, make use of an outdoor antenna or turn off power to the player. ¶ When the unit is used in a loud-sound environment, e.g., near a speaker, sound skip may occur. Install the unit away from the speaker or reduce the listening volume. ¶ Place this unit on a level surface and a stable platform. Take adequate note of the following precautions when preparing a place for installation: Be sure the player, including its video, audio and power supply cords, does not touch vibrating materials. Any vibration other than that transmitted through the insulators may cause the disc to skip. Take special care when using the player while it is installed in a carrying case. Do not place on or against vibrating materials! About the carrying case The upper surface of the jog dial is equipped with a touch-sensitive switch. When placing the player in its carrying case, avoid placing any pressure on the jog dial. Condensation When this unit is brought into a warm room from previously cold surroundings or when the room temperature rises sharply, condensation may form inside the unit and impair its performance. In such cases, disconnect the power cord and allow the unit to set for 1 to 2 hours, or raise the room temperature gradually before playing. Cleaning the player To clean the player wipe with a polishing or a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, moisten a soft cloth with a weak solution of neutral detergent (diluted in five to six parts water), wring the cloth well, and wipe away the dirt. Use a dry cloth to wipe the surface dry. Do not use volatile liquids such as benzene or thinner which will damage the unit. About the lens cleaner The player's pickup lens should not become dirty in normal use. If for some reason, the lens becomes soiled and malfunctions, contact your nearest PIONEER authorized service center. Lens cleaners for DVD (CD) players are commercially available, but special care should be exercised in their use as some may cause damage to the lens. Leave space to allow for heat dissipation. Leave space to allow for heat dissipation. CUE DVJ-1000 Leave space to allow for heat dissipation. Moving the unit Never move the unit during playback! During playback, a disc rotates at very high speed; moving the player during playback may result in scratches or other damage to the disc. When moving the unit is necessary Before moving the unit, remove any disc and disconnect the power. Malfunctions or damage may result if the unit is moved with a disc loaded. Also take care to prevent exposing the unit to heat or moisture during transport. 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 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 while. When you find it damaged, ask your near- est PIONEER authorized service center or your dealer for a re- placement.
