Pioneer PD-M430 - Handling and Maintenance Cautions

CAUTIONS REGARDING HANDLING
Install the player in a well ventilated location where it will not
be exposed to high temperature or humidity.
Do not install the player in a location which is exposed to direct
rays of the sun, or near stoves or radiators. Excessive heat can
adversely affect the cabinet and internal components. Also,
installation of the player in a damp or dusty environment may
result in malfunction or accident. (Also avoid installation near
cookers etc., where the player may be exposed to smoke from
oil, steam or heat.)
Precautions regarding installation
Placing and using the compact disc player for long periods on
heat-generating sources such as amplifiers will affect
performance. Avoid placing the player on heat-generating
sources.
Install this compact disc player as far as possible from tuners
and TV sets. A compact disc player installed in close proximity
to such equipment, may cause noise or degradation of the
picture.
Such noise may be particularly noticeable when an indoor
antenna is used. In such a case, make use of an outdoor
antenna, or turn off power to the compact disc player.
Please place this unit on a level surface.
When this unit is brought into a warm room from previously cold
surroundings or when the room temperature rises sharply,
condensation may form inside, and the unit may not be able to
attain its full performance. In cases like this, allow the unit to
stand for about an hour or raise the room temperature gradually.
Cleaning discs
e@ 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 periphery.
e@ Ifa disc becomes very dirty, dip a soft cloth in water, and after
wringing it out well, wipe the dirt away gently, and then remove
any water drops with another soft, dry cloth.
e Do not use record cleaning sprays or anti-static agents on discs.
Also, never clean discs with benzene, thinner, or other volatile
solvents, since damage to the disc surface may result.
e@ Discs are made of the same kinds of plastic used for
conventional analog audio records. Be careful not to allow discs
to warp; always store discs in their cases vertically, avoiding
locations with high heat or humidity, or extremely low
temperatures. Avoid leaving discs in cars, since the seat of a
car in direct sunlight can become unbelievably hot.
e Always read and abide by the precautionary notes listed on
disc labels.
Cleaning the player and the magazine
To clean the PLAYER and the MAGAZINE wipe with a soft, dry
cloth. For stubborn dirt, wet a soft cloth with a mild detergent
solution, wring well, then wipe off the dirt. Also use a dry cloth to
wipe the surface dry. Do not use volatile liquids such as benzene
and thinner which are harmful to the unit.
