DVD Changer. (e.g:

therefore not respond to all operating commands. Refer to
instruction notes on discs.
A “

It means that the operation is not permitted by the DVD

7. Location of this unit
• Place this unit in a well-ventilated location.
Take special care to provide plenty of ventilation on all sides
of this unit especially when it is placed in an audio rack. If
ventilation is blocked, this unit may overheat and malfunction.
• Do not expose this unit to direct sunlight or heating units as
this unit's internal temperature may rise and shorten the life of
the pickup.
• Avoid damp and dusty places and places directly affected
by vibrations from the speakers. In particular, avoid placing
the unit on or above one of the speakers.
• Be sure this unit is placed in a horizontal position. Never place
it on its side or on a slanted surface as it may malfunction.
• When you place this DVD Changer near a TV, radio, or VCR,
the playback picture may become poor and the sound may
be distorted. In this case, place the DVD Changer away from

8. Care
From time to time you should wipe the front and rear panels
and the cabinet with a soft cloth. For heavier dirt, dampen a
soft cloth in a weak solution of mild detergent and water, wring
it out dry, and wipe off the dirt. Following this, dry immediately
with a clean cloth.
Do not use rough material, thinners, alcohol or other chemical
solvents or cloths since these could damage the finish or
remove the panel lettering.
Precautions
9. Notes on Handling
• When shipping the DVD Changer, use the original shipping
carton and packing materials. For maximum protection,
repack the unit as it was originally packed at the factory.
• Do not use volatile liquids, such as insect spray, near the DVD
Changer. Do not leave rubber or plastic products in contact
with the DVD Changer for a long time. They will leave marks
on the finish.
• The top and rear panels of the DVD Changer
may become
warm after a long period of use. This is not a malfunction.
• When the DVD Changer is not in use, be sure to remove the
disc and turn off the power.
• If you do not use the DVD Changer for a long period, the unit
may not function properly in the future. Turn on and use the
DVD Changer occasionally.
10. To Obtain a Clear Picture
The DVD Changer is a high technology, precision device. If
the optical pick-up lens and disc drive parts are dirty or worn
down, the picture quality becomes poor. To obtain a clear
picture, we recommend regular inspection and maintenance
(cleaning or parts replacement) every 1,000 hours of use
depending on the operating environment. For details, contact
your nearest dealer.
11. Notes on Moisture Condensation
Moisture condensation damages the DVD Changer.
Please read the following carefully.
Moisture condensation occurs, for example, when you pour
a cold drink into a glass on a warm day. Drops of water form
on the outside of the glass. In the same way, moisture may
condense on the optical pick-up lens inside this unit, one of
the most crucial internal parts of the DVD Changer.
• Moisture condensation occurs in the following cases.
- When you bring the DVD Changer directly from a cold place
to a warm place.
- When you use the DVD Changer in a room where you just
turned on the heater, or a place where the cold wind from
the air conditioner directly hits the unit.
- In summer, when you use the DVD Changer in a hot and humid
place just after you move the unit from an air conditioned
room.
- When you use the DVD Changer in a humid place.
• Do not use the DVD Changer when moisture condensation
may occur.
If you use the DVD Changer in such a situation, it may damage
discs and internal parts. Remove the disc, connect the power
cord of the DVD Changer to the wall outlet, turn on the DVD
Changer, and leave it for two or three hours. After a few hours,
the DVD Changer will have warmed up and evaporated any
moisture. Keep the DVD Changer connected to the wall outlet
and moisture condensation will seldom occur.
