I wouldn't do any more than gently blow dust out if I were you. I suggest you research cleaning the "first surface" mirror; you can ruin it very easily. I assume the lenses have optical coatings that are easily damaged too. And by the time you buy the proper cleaning stuff, you won't be saving very much and there's much risk of damage to lens alignment and the mirror.

I assume your Pioneer is similar to the layout of my Pioneer Elite RPTV. The manual describes the process for lens focusing and shows to access the lenses (and mirror) you'd remove/loosen the front screen securing frame so the screen can slide to the side and allow access to the CRT lenses and the mirror. You work on one side, then slide the screen the other way and do the other half.
