INTRODUCTION
For Proper and Long Use
DO NOT MOVE THE UNIT DURING
PLAYBACK
During playback, the disc rotates at high speed. Do
NOT lift or move the unit during playback. Doing so
may damage the disc.
WHEN MOVING THIS UNIT
When changing places of installation or packing the
unit for moving, be sure to remove the disc and
return the disc table to its original position in the
player. Then, press the POWER button on the
remote control or on the front panel and then
disconnect the power cord. Moving this unit with the
disc loaded may result in damage to this unit.
INSTALLATION
Select a stable place to the side of a TV set or
stereo system to be connected to the unit.
When using the unit with a stereo system, install
the speakers a little bit away from the TV if these
are not magnetically shielded.
Do NOT install the unit on top of a TV or color
monitor. Install the unit away from equipment that
may be affected by magnetism, such as a
cassette deck.
AVOID INSTALLING IN A PLACE THAT IS:
Exposed to direct sunlight
Exposed to humidity or where ventilation is poor
Extremely hot or cold
Exposed to vibration
Exposed to dust
Exposed to oily smoke, steam or heat (for
example, a kitchen)
DO NOT PLACE AN OBJECT ON TOP
Do NOT place an object on the unit.
DO NOT BLOCK VENTS
Do NOT use the player on top of a long-fibre carpet,
bed or sofa, and do not cover it with a cloth etc. This
will prevent heat radiation and could result in
damage.
AVOID HEAT
Do NOT place the unit on equipment generating
heat, such as an amplifier.
When installing the unit in a rack, place it on the
lowest shelf possible (however, not where it is
exposed to dust) and separated from the amplifier to
avoid the heat generated by the amplifier of other
audio equipment.
CAUTION : WHEN PLACING THE UNIT
IN A STEREO RACK WITH GLASS
DOORS
Be sure there is ample space between the unit and
the glass doors when opening the disc table using
the remote control. If the disc table opens against
strong resistance, such as a closed glass door,
damage to the unit may result.
CONDENSATION
Moisture will form in the operating section of the
player if the player is brought from cool surroundings
into a warm room or if the temperature of the room
rises suddenly. When this happens, player’s
performance will be impaired. To prevent this, let the
player stand in its new surroundings for about an
hour before switching it on, or make sure that the
room temperature rises gradually.
Condensation may also form during the summer if
the player is exposed to the breeze from an air
conditioner. In such cases, change the location of the
player.
SWITCH POWER OFF WHEN NOT
USING THE UNIT
Depending on the strength of the TV or radio
broadcast signal, having the TV or radio ON while
power to the unit is ON may result in stripes on the
TV screen or noise. However, this is not a
malfunction of this unit or the TV or radio. In such a
case, switch the power of the unit OFF.
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 in such a way 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 service center or your dealer for a replacement.
