manufacturer, or sold with the product. Any

mounting of the product should follow the

manufacturer's instructions, and should use a

mounting accessory recommended by the

manufacturer.

CART -- A product and cart combination should be

moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force,

and uneven surfaces may cause the product

and cart combination to overturn.

VENTILATION -- Slots and openings in the cabinet

are provided for ventilation and to ensure

reliable operation of the product and to protect

it from overheating, and these openings must

not be blocked or covered. The openings should

never be blocked by placing the product on a

operated only from the type of power source

indicated on the marking label. If you are not

sure of the type of power supply to your home,

consult your product dealer or local power

company.

LOCATION The appliance should be installed in a

stable location.

NONUSE PERIODS The power cord of the

appliance should be unplugged from the outlet

when left un-used for a long period of time.

GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION

· If this product is equipped with a polarized

alternating current line plug (a plug having one

blade wider than the other), it will fit into the

outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If

you are unable to insert the plug fully into the

outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should

still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace

your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety

purpose of the polarized plug.

· If this product is equipped with a three-wire

grounding type plug, a plug having a third

(grounding) pin, it will only fit into a grounding

type power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you

are unable to insert the plug into the outlet,

contact your electrician to replace your obsolete

outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the

grounding type plug.

POWER-CORD PROTECTION -- Power-supply

cords should be routed so that they are not likely

to be walked on or pinched by items placed

upon or against them, paying particular

attention to cords at plugs, convenience

receptacles, and the point where they exit from

the product.

OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING -- If an

outside antenna or cable system is connected to

the product, be sure the antenna or cable

system is grounded so as to provide some

protection against voltage surges and built-up

static charges. Article 810 of the National

Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides

information with regard to proper grounding of

the mast and supporting structure, grounding of

the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit,

size of grounding conductors, location of

antenna-discharge unit, connection to

grounding electrodes, and requirements for the

grounding electrode. See Figure A.

LIGHTNING -- For added protection for this

product during a lightning storm, or when it is

left unattended and unused for long periods of

time, unplug it from the wall outlet and

disconnect the antenna or cable system. This

will prevent damage to the product due to

lightning and power-line surges.

POWER LINES -- An outside antenna system

should not be located in the vicinity of overhead

power lines or other electric light or power

circuits, or where it can fall into such power

lines or circuits. When installing an outside

antenna system, extreme care should be taken

to keep from touching such power lines or

circuits as contact with them might be fatal.

OVERLOADING -- Do not overload wall outlets,

extension cords, or integral convenience

receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or

electric shock.

OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY -- Never push

objects of any kind into this product through

openings as they may touch dangerous voltage

points or short-out parts that could result in a

fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any

kind on the product.

SERVICING -- Do not attempt to service this

product yourself as opening or removing covers

may expose you to dangerous voltage or other

hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service

personnel.

DAMAGE REQUIRING SERVICE -- Unplug this

product from the wall outlet and refer servicing

to qualified service personnel under the

following conditions:

· When the power-supply cord or plug is

damaged.

· If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen

into the product.

· If the product has been exposed to rain or water.

· If the product does not operate normally by

following the operating instructions. Adjust only

those controls that are covered by the operating

instructions as an improper adjustment of other

controls may result in damage and will often

require extensive work by a qualified technician

to restore the product to its normal operation.

· If the product has been dropped or damaged in

any way.

· When the product exhibits a distinct change in

performance -- this indicates a need for service.

REPLACEMENT PARTS -- When replacement parts

are required, be sure the service technician has

used replacement parts specified by the

manufacturer or have the same characteristics

as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions

may result in fire, electric shock, or other

hazards.

SAFETY CHECK -- Upon completion of any service

or repairs to this product, ask the service

technician to perform safety checks to

determine that the product is in proper

operating condition.

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 nearest PIONEER authorized

service center or your dealer for a replacement.

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

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

Quiet library, soft whispers

Living room, refrigerator, bedroom away from traffic

Light traffic, normal conversation, quiet office

Air conditioner at 20 feet, sewing machine

Vacuum cleaner, hair dryer, noisy restaurant

Average city traffic, garbage disposals, alarm clock

at two feet.

THE FOLLOWING NOISES CAN BE DANGEROUS

UNDER CONSTANT EXPOSURE

Subway, motorcycle, truck traffic, lawn mower
