o Apply the included felt pads to the bottoms of the foot-stands to

avoid scratching the surface where the unit is placed.

Maintenance

Use a soft dry cloth to wipe the surface of the unit clean.

For stubborn smudges, use a damp cloth that has been thoroughly

wrung out to remove excess moisture.

o Never spray liquid directly on this unit.

o Do not wipe with chemical cleaning cloths, thinner or other

chemical agents. Doing so could damage the surface.

o Avoid allowing rubber or plastic materials to touch the unit for

long periods of time because they could damage the cabinet.

For your safety, disconnect the power cord from

the outlet before cleaning.

o Do not place anything on top of the unit.

o Do not install this unit in a location that could become hot. This

includes places that are exposed to direct sunlight or near a radia-

tor, heater, stove or other heating equipment. Moreover, do not

place it on top of an amplifier or other equipment that generates

heat. Doing so could cause discoloration or deformation.

o In order to enable good heat dissipation, leave at least 20 cm (8")

between this unit and walls and other equipment when installing

it. If you put it in a rack, take precautions to prevent overheating

by leaving at least 5 cm (2") open above the top of the unit and

at least 10 cm (4") open behind the unit. Failure to provide these

gaps could cause heat to build up inside and result in fire.

o If installing in a rack with a glass door, do not use the remote con-

trol tray OPEN/CLOSE (-) button to open the disc tray when the

door is closed. If the disc tray is forcibly prevented from moving,

damage could result.

o Place the unit in a stable location.

o Do not lift or move the unit during playback because the disc

rotates at high speed. Doing so could damage the disc.

o Always remove any loaded disc before moving this unit or pack-

ing it for installation in a different location, for example. Moving

the unit with a disc inside could cause damage.

o Supply voltage to the unit that matches the voltage indicated on

the rear panel. If you are in any doubt regarding this matter, con-

sult an electrician.

o Do not open the body of the unit as this might result in damage

to the circuitry or cause electric shock. If a foreign object should

get into the unit, contact your dealer.

o When removing the power plug from an outlet, always pull

directly on the plug. Never pull on the cord itself.

Precaution when recording with a connected

device

Some discs include signals to prevent copying. You cannot record the

digital audio signal as is from a disc that has such copy-protection.

(You can record the audio as an analog signal.)

Precautions for use

Handling discs

o Load discs with their labeled sides up.

(CDs only have one playable side.)

o To remove a disc from its case, always press down on the center of

the case first and then hold the disc by its edges.

Removal from case Holding by edges

o Be careful when handling discs. If the side that contains the data

(unlabeled side) is scratched, smudged with fingerprints or other-

wise dirty or marred, errors could occur during playback.

o If the side of the disc that has the data encoded on it (unlabeled

side) becomes dirty with fingerprints or dust, use a soft cloth to

wipe the surface from the center directly toward the edge.

Always clean discs before storing them. Leaving a disc in an

unclean state might degrade its sound quality.

o Never use record cleaners, antistatic treatments, thinners or similar

chemicals to clean discs. Such chemicals could harm the surface

of the disc.

o Do not leave discs in places that are exposed to direct sunlight or

that are very humid or hot.

o When writing something on the label side of a disc, use a felt-tip

permanent marker. The use of a ballpoint pen or other pen with a

hard tip could damage the disc, making it unplayable.

o After you finish playing a disc, always put it back into its case for

storage. Failure to do so could result in warping or scratches.

o Do not apply labels or other materials to discs. Do not use a disc

that has sticky residue left on its surface after removing tape or a

sticker, for example. If such a disc is loaded, it might become stuck

in the unit or damage the unit.

o Never use commercially-available CD stabilizers. Doing so could

make the disc unplayable or damage the unit.

o Do not use cracked discs because they could damage the unit.
