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.
