Precautions
Discs that this system CANNOT play
• Discs of non-standard shape (for example,
heart, square, star).
• Discs that have adhesive tape, paper, or
sticker attached to them.
• Rental or used discs with attached seals where
the glue extends beyond the seal.
• Discs that have labels printed using ink that
feels tacky when touched.
Notes on discs
• Before playing, wipe the disc with a cleaning
cloth from the center out to the edge.
• Do not clean discs with solvents, such as
benzine thinner, or commercially available
cleaners or anti-static spray intended for vinyl
LPs.
• Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or heat
sources such as hot air ducts, nor leave it in a
car parked in direct sunlight.
On safety
• The unit is not disconnected from the AC
power source (mains) as long as it is
connected to the wall socket, even if the unit
itself has been turned off.
• Completely disconnect the power cord (mains
lead) from the wall socket (mains) if it is not
going to be used for an extended period of
time. When unplugging the unit, always grip
the plug. Never pull the cord itself.
• Should any solid object or liquid get into the
system, unplug the system, and have it
checked by qualified personnel before
operating it again.
• The AC power cord can be changed only by a
qualified service facility.
On placement
• Do not place the system in an inclined
position or in locations that are extremely hot,
cold, dusty, dirty, or humid or lacking
adequate ventilation, or subject to vibration,
direct sunlight or a bright light.
• Be careful when placing the unit or speakers
on surfaces that have been specially treated
(for example, with wax, oil, polish) as staining
or discoloration of the surface may result.
• If the system is brought directly from a cold to
a warm location or is placed in a very damp
room, moisture may condense on the lens
inside the unit, and cause the system to
malfunction. In this situation, remove the
disc, and leave the system turned on for about
an hour until the moisture evaporates.
On heat buildup
• Heat buildup on the unit during operation is
normal and is not a cause for alarm.
• Do not touch the cabinet if it has been used
continuously at a high volume because the
cabinet may have become hot.
• Do not obstruct the ventilation holes.
On the speaker system
Although the front and center speakers are
magnetically shielded, the picture on a nearby
TV may become magnetically distorted. In this
situation, turn off the TV, wait 15 to 30 minutes,
and turn it back on. If there is no improvement,
move the speakers far away from the TV.
Cleaning the cabinet
Clean this system with a soft cloth slightly
moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do
not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring
powder, or solvent, such as thinner, benzine, or
alcohol.
To prevent a tape from being
accidentally recorded over
Break off the cassette’s overwrite protection tab
from side A or B as illustrated.
To later reuse the tape for recording, cover the
broken tab with adhesive tape.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Caution:
If you leave a still video image
or on-screen display image displayed on
your TV for an extended period of time via
this system, you risk permanent damage to
your TV screen. Projection TVs are
especially susceptible to this.
