Some notes, precautions and environmental considerations
The CC-222
MK
IV may be used in most areas, but to main-
tain top performance, and prolong operating life, observe
the following notes, precautions and environmental condi-
tions:
•
Avoid exposing it to extremes of temperature and
humidity and avoid mechanical shocks and vibration.
•
Keep the unit away from strong magnetic fields (TV
sets, computer monitors, large electric motors, etc.).
•
The nominal temperature should be between 5°C and
35°C (41°F and 95°F).
•
Relative humidity should be 30 to 90 degrees non-
condensing.
•
As the unit may become hot during operation, always
leave sufficient space above the unit for ventilation. Do
not install this unit in a confined space such as a book
case or similar product, and do not put any material
goods on the unit.
•
Avoid installing this unit on top of any heat-generating
electrical device such as a power amplifier.
•
Make sure that the unit is mounted in a level position for
correct operation.
•
The voltage selector on the rear panel is only available
on units for the North American market. Please set this
to match your local supply. If you are in any doubt in
this matter, consult an electrician.
NOTE
When transporting the unit, always use the original
packing materials. For this reason, we strongly recom-
mend that you save all the packing materials that came
with the CC-222
MK
IV, in case you need to transport it
in the future.
Beware of condensation
If the unit (or a compact disc) is moved from a cold to a
warm place, or used after a sudden temperature change,
there is a danger of condensation; vapor in the air could
condense on the internal mechanism, making correct oper-
ation impossible. To prevent this, or if this occurs, let the
player sit for one or two hours
at the new room temperature
before using.
Never use a stabilizer or printable discs
Using commercially available CD stabilizers or printable
recordable discs with this player will damage the mecha-
nism and cause it to malfunction.
NOTE
Never use a disc that has had a stabilizer mounted to
it. The residual adhesive may cause the disc to stick to
the turntable of the CC-222
MK
IV. If it sticks to the turn-
table, you will need a technician to get it out.
