Choose the installation location of your unit carefully. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight or
close to a source of heat. Also avoid locations subject to vibrations and excessive dust, heat,
cold or moisture. Keep away from such sources that hum, such as transformers or motors.
Do not open the cabinet as this might result in damage to the circuitry or electrical shock.
If a foreign object should get into the MCD7009, contact your authorized Mclntosh dealer.
Be sure not to handle discs with dirty fingers. Never insert a disc which has a crack on
the surface.
When removing the power plug from the wall outlet, always pull directly on the plug, never
yank the cord.
To keep the laser-pickup clean, do not touch it, and do not forget to close the disc tray.
Do not attempt to clean the unit with chemical solvents as this might damage the finish.
Use a clean, dry cloth.
Keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.
BEWARE OF CONDENSATION
When the player (or a compact disc) is moved from a cold to a warm place or used after
a sudden temperature change, there is the danger of condensation. Water vapor in the air
could condense on the mechanism or the laser pickup. If droplets of water form on these
parts, correct playback will be impossible because the laser cannot read the information from
the disc correctly. To prevent this, if you are going to use the player in a condition where
condensation could occur, you should leave the player for 1 or 2 hours after plugging it into
an AC outlet depending on the amount of condensation. If this is done, the player will stabilize
at the temperature of its surroundings.
HANDLING THE DISCS
Always place the compact disc in the disc tray with the label facing upward. (Compact
discs can be played only on one side.)
To remove a disc from its storage case, press down on the center of the case and lift the
disc out, holding it carefully by the edges.
