IMPORTANT NOTES
Power Supply
• Do not connect this unit to same electrical
outlet that is being used by an electrical
appliance that is controlled by an inverter
or a motor (such as a refrigerator, washing
machine, microwave oven, or air conditioner).
Depending on the way in which the electrical
appliance is used, power supply noise may
cause this unit to malfunction or may produce
audible noise. If it is not practical to use a
separate electrical outlet, connect a power
supply noise filter between this unit and the
electrical outlet.
Placement
• Using the unit near power amplifiers (or
other equipment containing large power
transformers) may induce hum. To alleviate
the problem, change the orientation of this
unit; or move it farther away from the source
of interference.
• This unit may interfere with radio and
television reception. Do not use this unit in
the vicinity of such receivers.
• Noise may be produced if wireless
communications devices, such as cell phones,
are operated in the vicinity of this unit.
Such noise could occur when receiving or
initiating a call, or while conversing. Should
you experience such problems, you should
relocate such wireless devices so they are at
a greater distance from this unit, or switch
them off.
• When moved from one location to another
where the temperature and/or humidity is
very different, water droplets (condensation)
may form inside the unit. Damage or
malfunction may result if you attempt to use
the unit in this condition. Therefore, before
using the unit, you must allow it to stand for
several hours, until the condensation has
completely evaporated.
• Depending on the material and temperature
of the surface on which you place the unit, its
rubber feet may discolor or mar the surface.
• Do not place containers or anything else
containing liquid on top of this unit. Also,
whenever any liquid has been spilled on the
surface of this unit, be sure to promptly wipe
it away using a soft, dry cloth.
Maintenance
• Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or
solvents of any kind, to avoid the possibility of
discoloration and/or deformation.
Additional Precautions
• Use a reasonable amount of care when using
the unit’s buttons, sliders, or other controls;
and when using its jacks and connectors.
Rough handling can lead to malfunctions.
• When disconnecting all cables, grasp the
connector itself—never pull on the cable. This
way you will avoid causing shorts, or damage
to the cable’s internal elements.
• A small amount of heat will radiate from the
unit during normal operation.
• To avoid disturbing others nearby, try to keep
the unit’s volume at reasonable levels.
• Please note the following points when
moving this unit.
• Remove the turntable platter, and wrap
it in packing material so that it does not
become scratched.
• Secure the tonearm to the arm clamper so
that it does not move.
• Detach the counterweight and headshell
from the tonearm, and wrap them in
packing material so that they do not
become scratched.
• Do not touch the needle while the unit
is powered-on. Doing so may cause
malfunctions.
