SERVICE PERSONNEL.
D3-4-2-1-1_B1_En
CAUTION
The 1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).
D3-4-2-2-2a*_A1_En
This product is for general household purposes. Any
failure due to use for other than household purposes
(such as long-term use for business purposes in a
restaurant or use in a car or ship) and which requires
repair will be charged for even during the warranty
period.
K041_A1_En
WARNING
To prevent a fire hazard, do not place any naked flame
sources (such as a lighted candle) on the equipment.
D3-4-2-1-7a_A1_En
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.

Notes on Copyrights
 Because AACS (Advanced Access Content
System) is approved as content protection
system for Blu-ray Disc format, similar to use
of CSS (Content Scramble System) for DVD
format, certain restrictions are imposed on
playback, analog signal output, etc., of AACS
protected contents. The operation of this
product and restrictions on this product may
vary depending on your time of purchase
as those restrictions may be adopted and/
or changed by AACS after the production of
this product.
 Furthermore, BD-ROM Mark and BD+ are
additionally used as content protection
systems for Blu-ray Disc format, which
imposes certain restrictions including
playback restrictions for BD-ROM Mark
and/or BD+ protected contents. To obtain
additional information on AACS, BD-ROM
Mark, BD+, or this product, please contact
an authorized Customer Service Center.
 Many BD-ROM/DVD discs are encoded with
copy protection. Because of this, you should
only connect your player directly to your TV,
not to a VCR. Connecting to a VCR results
in a distorted picture from copy-protected
discs.
 Under the U.S. Copyright laws and Copyright
laws of other countries, unauthorized
recording, use, display, distribution, or
revision of television programs, videotapes,
BD-ROM discs, DVDs, CDs and other
materials may subject you to civil and/or
criminal liability.
Important Notice for TV colour
system
The colour system of this player differs
according to currently playing discs.
For example, when the player plays the disc
recorded in the NTSC colour system, the image
is output as an NTSC signal.
Only the multi system colour TV can receive all
signals output from the player.
 If you have a PAL colour system TV, you will
see just distorted images when using discs
or video contents recorded in NTSC.
 The multi system colour TV changes the
colour system automatically according to
input signals. In case that the colour system
is not changed automatically, turn it off and
then on to see normal images on screen.
 Even if the disc recorded in NTSC colour
system are well displayed on your TV, these
may not be recorded correctly on your
recorder.
