USER MANUAL DV-2242 PIONEER
The STANDBY/ON switch on this unit will not completely shut off all power from the AC outlet. Since the power cord serves as the main disconnect device for the unit, you will need to unplug it from the AC outlet to shut down all power. Therefore, make sure the unit has been installed so that the power cord can be easily unplugged from the AC outlet in case of an accident. To avoid fire hazard, the power cord should also be unplugged from the AC outlet when left unused for a long period of time (for example, when on vacation).

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. S002* A1_EN

Cautions on use
When moving the player
When moving the player, check first that there is no disc loaded and that the disc tray is closed. Then press STANDBY/ON on the player (or STANDBY/
ON on the remote control), wait for the OFF indicator on the front panel display to turn off, then unplug the power cord. Moving the player with a disc inside it could result in damage.
Place of installation
- Choose a stable place near the TV or stereo system being used with the player.
- Do not place the player on top of a TV or color monitor. Also install it away from cassette decks and other devices easily affected by magnetic forces.
Avoid the following types of places:
Places exposed to direct sunlight
- Humid or poorly ventilated places
Extremely hot places
Places exposed to vibrations
Places in which there is much dust or cigarette smoke
Places exposed to soot, steam or heat (kitchens, etc.)
Do not place objects on the player.
Do not place any objects on top of the player.
Do not obstruct the ventilation holes.
Do not use the player on shaggy rugs, beds, sofas, etc., or wrapped in cloth, etc. Doing so will prevent the heat from dispersing, leading to damage.
Do not expose to heat.
Do not place the player on top of an amplifier or other component that generates heat. When placing it in a rack, to avoid the heat given off by the amplifier or other audio component, place it on a shelf below the amplifier.
Turn off the player's power when not using it.
Depending on signal conditions, striped patterns may appear on a TV screen and noise may enter the sound of radio broadcasts when the player's power is on. If this happens, turn the player's power off.
About condensation
If the player is moved suddenly from a cold place into a warm room (in winter, for example) or if the temperature in the room in which the player is installed rises suddenly due to a heater, etc., water droplets (condensation) may form inside (on operating parts and the lens). When condensation is present, the player will not operate properly and playback is not possible. Let the player stand at room temperature for 1 or 2 hours with the power turned on (the time depends on the extent of condensation). The water droplets will dissipate and playback will become possible. Condensation can also occur in the summer if the player is exposed to the direct wind from an air-conditioner. If this happens, move the player to a different place.
Cleaning the product
- Unplug the power cord from the power outlet when cleaning the player.
- Clean the player using a soft cloth. For tough dirt, apply some neutral detergent diluted in 5 to 6 parts water to a soft cloth, wring out thoroughly, wipe off the dirt, then wipe again with a soft, dry cloth.
- Alcohol, thinner, benzene, insecticides, etc., could cause the print or paint to peel off. Also, leaving rubber or vinyl products in contact with the player for long periods of time could mar the cabinet.
- When using chemical-impregnated wipes, etc., read the cautions included with the wipes carefully.
Caution for when the unit is installed in a rack with a glass door
Do not press OPEN/CLOSE on the remote control to open the disc tray while the glass door is closed. The door will hamper the movement of the disc tray, and the unit could be damaged.
Cleaning the lens
The player's lens should not become dirty in normal use, but if for some reason it should malfunction due to dust or dirt, consult your nearest Pioneer authorized service center. Although lens cleaners for players are commercially available, we advise against using them since some may damage the lens.

Handling discs
Storing
Always place discs in their cases and store them vertically, avoiding places hot, humid, exposed to direct sunlight and extremely cold.
- Be sure to read the cautions included with the disc.
Cleaning discs
- Discs may not play if there are fingerprints or dust on them. In this case, use a cleaning cloth, etc., to gently wipe the disc from the inside towards the outside. Do not use dirty cleaning clothes.
- Do not use benzene, thinner or other volatile chemicals. Also do not use record spray or antistatic agents.
- For tough dirt, apply some water to a soft cloth, wring out thoroughly, wipe off the dirt, then wipe off the moisture with a dry cloth.
- Do not use damaged (cracked or warped) discs.
- Do not let the signal surface of discs get scratched or dirty.
- Do not place two discs in the disc tray, one on top of the other.
- Do not attach pieces of paper or stickers to discs. Doing so could warp discs, making it impossible to play them. Also note that rental discs often have labels attached to them, and the label's glue may have oozed out. Check that there is no glue around the edges of such labels before using rented discs.
About specially shaped discs

Specially shaped discs (heartshaped, hexagonal, etc.) cannot be played on this player. Do not attempt to play such discs, as they could damage the player.
About condensation on discs
Water droplets (condensation) may form on the surface of discs if they are moved from a cold place (particularly in winter) into a warm room. Discs may not play normally if there is condensation on them. Carefully wipe the water droplets off the surface of the disc before loading it.
