operating the unit. Be sure to keep the Operating Instructions

for future reference. All warnings and cautions in the Operating

Instructions and on the unit should be strictly followed, as well

as the safety suggestions below.

Installation

1 Water and moisture — Do not use this unit near water, such

as near a bathtub, washbowl, swimming pool, or the like.

2 Heat — Do not use this unit near sources of heat, including

heating vents, stoves, or other appliances that generate heat.

It also should not be placed in temperatures less than 5°C

(41‘F) or greater than 35°C (95”F).

Mounting surface — Place the unit on a flat, even surface.

Ventilation — The unit should be situated with adequate

space around it so that proper heat ventilation is assured.

Allow 10 cm (4 in.) clearance from the rear and the top of the

unit, and 5 cm (2 in.) from each side.

- Do not place the unit on a bed, rug, or similar surface that

may block the ventilation openings.

- Do not install the unit in a bookcase, cabinet, or airtight rack

where ventilation may be impeded.

Objects and liquid entry — Take care that objects or liquid

do not get inside the unit through the ventilation openings.

Carts and stands — When placed or

mounted on a stand or cart, the unit should

be moved with care.

Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven

surfaces may cause the unit or cart to

m

Y

A~s

overturn or fall.

Condensation — Moisture may form on the CD pickup lens

when:

- The unit is moved from a cold spot to a warm spot

- The heating system has just been turned on

- The unit is used in a very humid room

- The unit is cooled by an air conditioner

When this unit has condensation inside, it may not function

normally. Should this occur, leave the unit for a few hours,

then try to operate again.

Wall or ceiling mounting — The unit should not be mounted

on a wall or-ceiling, u;less specified in the Operating

Instructions.

Power sources — Connect this unit only to power sources

specified in the Operating Instructions, and as marked on the

unit.

Polarization —As a safety feature, some units are equipped

with polarized AC power plugs which can only be inserted

one way into a power outlet. If it is difficult or impossible to

insert the AC power plug into an outlet, turn the plug over and

try again. If it is not still inserted easily into the outlet, please

call a qualified service technician to service or replace the

outlet. To avoid defeating the safety feature of the polarized

plug, do not force it into a power outlet.

AC power cord

- When disconnecting the AC power cord, pull it out by the

AC power plug. Do not pull the cord itself.

- Never handle the AC power plug with wet hands, as this

could result in fire or shock.

- Power cords should be firmly secured to avoid being severely

bent, pinched, or walked upon. Pay particular attention to

the cord from the unit to the power socket.

- Avoid overloading AC power plugs and extension cords

beyond their capacity, as this could result in fire or shock.

Extension cord — To help prevent electric shock, do not use

a polarized AC power plug with an extension cord, receptacle,

or other outlet unless the polarized plug can be completely

inserted to prevent exposure of the blades of the plug.

When not in use — Unplug the AC power cord from the power

outlet if the unit will not be used for several months or more.

When the cord is plugged in, a small amount of current

continues to flow to the unit, even when the power is turned

off.

Qutdoor Antenna

1 Power lines ——When connecting an outdoor antenna, make

sure it is located away from power lines.

2 Outdoor antenna grounding — Be sure the antenna system

is properly grounded to provide protection against unexpected

voltage surges or static electricity build-up. Article 810 of the

National Electrical Code, ANSJNFPA 70, provides information

on proper grounding of the mast, supporting structure, and

the lead-in wire to the antenna discharge unit, as well as the

size of tinegrounding unit, connection to grounding terminals,
