heating appliance.
 This unit may pick up interference from a
radio if there is one nearby.
Keep the unit as far as possible from a radio.
 Do not install the unit on a heat source.

Avoid a place with large temperature variations.
 Avoid a place with frequent condensation.
 Avoid an unstable place.

Do not put an object on the unit.
 Do not install the unit in a confined space
such as a book shelf.

Install the unit at a position well away from


Note that the unit may be damaged by
cigarette smoke or moisture from an
ultrasonic humidifier.


Condensation
Think of taking out a cold bottle from a
refrigerator. If you leave it in a room for a while,
dewdrops will form on the bottle surface.
This phenomenon is called “condensation“.
 Conditions causing condensation
 Rapid temperature change (caused by
moving from a warm place to a cold place or
vice versa, rapid cooling or heating, or direct
exposure to cooled air)

High humidity in a room with much steam,
etc.
 Rainy season
 Condensation may damage the unit. If it
has occurred, turn the unit off and leave it
until it adapts to the ambient temperature
(approximately 2 to 3 hours).
Fit the dust cover
1
While holding the dust cover
from both sides, put it in place by
aligning its four corners with the
four corners of the unit.

When removing, lift the dust cover
straight up.
Attention
 Return the tone arm to the arm rest and fix
it with the arm clamp before you attach or
detach the dust cover.
 Remove the dust cover while playing.

Be sure the stylus light (  19) is pressed down
when attaching the dust cover. If the dust
cover is attached with the stylus light raised, it
may touch the dust cover.
Install the unit on a horizontal surface
protected from vibrations.
Keep this unit as far as possible from speakers.
