Cautions Regarding Handling; Storing Discs - Pioneer CDJ-400 Manual De Instrucciones

CAUTIONS REGARDING HANDLING

Location
Install the player in a well-ventilated location where it will not be
exposed to high temperatures or humidity.
Do not install the player in a location which is exposed to direct sun-
light, or near stoves or radiators. Excessive heat can adversely affect
the cabinet and internal components. Installation of the player in a
damp or dusty environment may aiso result in a malfunction and can
be hazardous. Avoid installation near cookers etc., where the player
may be exposed to oily smoke, steam or heat.
Installation Guidelines
÷ Placing and using the compact disc player for long periods on
heat-generating sources such as amplifiers or near spotlights, etc.
will affect product performance. Avoid placing the player on heat-
generating sources.
÷ Install this compact disc player as far as possible away from tuners
and TV sets. A compact disc 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
compact disc 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 vol-
ume.
÷ Place this unit on a level surface
and a stable platform.
÷ Be sure the player, including its au-
dio and power supply cords, does
not touch vibrating materials. Any
cause of vibration other than the in-
sulators may cause the disc to skip.
Take special care when using the
player while it is installed in a carry-
ing case.
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.
CD 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
CD players are commercially available, but special care should be
exercised in their use as some may cause damage to the lens.
BEFORE OPERATING (CAUTIONS REGARDING HANDLING)
¶ Please be sure to leave
a space to allow for
heat radiation.
Do not place on or
against vibrating
materials!

Storing Discs

÷ Discs are made of the same kinds of plastic used for conventional
analog audio records. Be careful not to allow discs to warp. Al-
ways store discs in their cases vertically, avoiding locations with
high heat, humidity, or extremely low temperatures. Avoid leav-
ing discs in cars; the interior of a car in direct sunlight can become
extremely hot.
÷ Always read and abide by the precautionary notes listed on disc
labels.
Condensation
When this unit is brought into a warm room from previously cold
surroundings or when the room temperature rises sharply, conden-
sation may form inside the unit and impair its performance. In such
cases, allow the unit to stand for about an hour or raise the room
temperature gradually.
Cleaning and Handling Compact Discs
÷ The presence of fingerprints or smudges on the surface of the disc
will not directly affect the recorded signals, but, depending on the
degree of contamination, the brightness of the light reflected from
the signal surfaces may be reduced causing degradation of sound
quality. Always keep your discs clean by wiping them gently with
a soft cloth from the inner edge toward the outer edge.
÷ If a disc becomes very dirty, dampen a soft cloth with water, (be
sure to wring it out well) and wipe the away dirt gently. Remove
any water drops with another soft, dry cloth.
÷ Do not use record cleaning sprays or anti-static agents on discs.
Never clean discs with benzene, thinner, or other volatile solvents
or damage to the disc surface may result.
÷ With this player, use only those discs
which display the mark shown right
(Optical audio digital discs).
÷ SACD hybrid discs cannot be played.
÷ When holding discs, do not touch their signal surfaces. Hold by
the edges, or by one edge and the center hole.
÷ Do not affix gummed labels or tape to the disc surface. Also, do
not scratch or damage the label.
÷ Discs rotate at high speeds inside the player. Do not use damaged,
cracked or warped discs.
Do not play a CD with a special shape
Do not play a CD having other shape than a circular disc, such as
heart shaped disc. Otherwise malfunction may occur.
