Notes About the
Discs
• To keep the disc clean, handle
the disc by its edge. Do not touch
the surface.
• Do not expose the disc to direct
sunlight or heat sources such as
hot air ducts, or leave it in a car
parked in direct sunlight as the
temperature may rise
considerably inside the car.
• After playing, store the disc in its
case.
• Clean the disc with a cleaning
cloth. Wipe the disc from the
centre out.
• Do not use solvents such as
benzine, thinner, disc/lens
cleaners, or anti-static spray
intended for vinyl LPs.
• If you have printed the disc’s
label, dry the label before
playing.
Precautions
Road safety
Do not use the monitor unit and
headphones while driving, cycling,
or operating any motorized
vehicle. Doing so may create a
traffic hazard and is illegal in some
areas. It can also be potentially
dangerous to play your headsets at
high volume while walking,
especially at pedestrian crossings.
You should exercise extreme
caution or discontinue use in
potentially hazardous situations.
On safety
Should any solid object or liquid
fall into the cabinet, unplug the
player and have it checked by
qualified personnel before
operating it any further.
On power sources
• The player is not disconnected
from the AC power source
(mains) as long as it is connected
to the wall outlet, even if the
player itself has been turned off.
• If you are not going to use the
player for a long time, be sure to
disconnect the player from the
wall outlet. To disconnect the
AC power cord (mains lead),
grasp the plug itself; never pull
the cord.
• Do not touch the mains lead or
the AC adaptor with wet hands.
Doing so may cause shock
hazard.
On temperature increases
Heat may build up inside the player
during charging or if it is being
used for a long time. This is not a
malfunction.
On placement
• Place the player in a location
with adequate ventilation to
prevent heat build-up in the
player.
• Do not place the player on a soft
surface such as a rug that might
block the ventilation holes.
• Do not place the player in a
confined space such as a
bookshelf or similar unit.
• To reduce the risk of fire, do not
cover the ventilation of the
apparatus with newspapers,
tablecloths, curtains, etc.
• Do not place the player in a
location near heat sources, or in a
place subject to direct sunlight,
excessive dust, sand, moisture,
rain, or mechanical shock, or in a
car with its windows closed.
On operation
• If the player is brought directly
from a cold to a warm location,
or is placed in a very damp room,
moisture may condense on the
lenses inside the player. Should
this occur, the player may not
operate properly. In this case,
remove the disc and leave the
player turned on for about half an
hour until the moisture
evaporates.
• When you move the player, take
out any discs. If you do not, the
disc may be damaged.
• Keep the lens on the player clean
and do not touch it. Touching the
lens may damage the lens and
cause the player to malfunction.
Leave the disc lid closed except
when you insert or remove discs.
On Liquid Crystal Display
• Although manufactured with
high precision technology, the
LCD may occasionally display
dots of various colours. That is
not a malfunction.
• Do not wipe the LCD surface
with wet cloth. If water enters, a
malfunction may result.
• Do not place or drop any object
onto the LCD surface. Also, do
not apply pressure from hands or
elbows.
• If the player is brought directly
from a cold to a warm location,
moisture may condense over the
LCD surface. In which case,
wipe out the moisture with tissue
paper, etc., before use.
However, moisture condensation
will continue if the LCD surface
is cold. Wait until the surface
warms to room temperature.
On AC adaptor
• Use the supplied AC adaptor for
this player, as other adaptors
may cause a malfunction.
• Do not confine the AC adaptor in
a closed place such as a
bookshelf or an AV cabinet.
Install this system so that the
mains lead can be unplugged
from the wall socket
immediately in the event of
trouble.
