Handling the unit
When shipping the unit
Please save the original shipping carton and
packing materials. If you need to ship the unit,
for maximum protection, re-pack the unit as it
was originally packed at the factory.
Keeping the exterior surfaces clean
•
Do not use volatile liquids such as insecticide
spray near the unit.
•
Wiping with strong pressure may damage
the surface.
•
Do not leave rubber or plastic products in
contact with the unit for a long period of
time.
Place of installation
•
Do not place this unit on top of a TV or color
monitor. Also install it away from cassette
decks and other devices easily affected by
magnetic forces.
Avoid the following locations:
•
Places exposed to direct sunlight
•
Humid or poorly ventilated places
•
Extremely hot places
•
Places exposed to vibrations
•
Places in which there is much dust or
cigarette smoke
•
Places exposed to soot, steam or heat
(kitchens, etc.)
Do not place objects on this unit
Do not place any objects on top of this unit.
Do not obstruct the ventilation holes.
Do not use this unit on shaggy rugs, beds,
sofas, etc., or wrapped in cloth, etc. Doing so
will prevent the heat from dispersing, leading
to damage.
Do not expose to heat.
Do not place this unit on top of an amplifier or
other component that generates heat. When
rack mounting it, to avoid the heat given off by
the amplifier or other audio component, place
it on a shelf below the amplifier.
About condensation
If this unit is moved suddenly from a cold place
into a warm room (in winter, for example) or
if the temperature in the room in which this
unit is installed rises suddenly due to heater
operation, etc., water droplets (condensation)
may form inside (on operating parts and the
lens). When condensation is present, this
unit will not operate properly and playback
is not possible. Let this unit stand at room
temperature for 1 or 2 hours with the power
turned on (the time depends on the extent
of condensation). The water droplets will
dissipate and playback will become possible.
Condensation can also occur in the summer if
this unit is directly exposed to the air flow from
an air-conditioner. If this happens, move this
unit to a different place.
Cleaning the this unit
•
Unplug the power cord from the power outlet
when cleaning this unit.
•
Clean this unit using a soft cloth.
•
For tough dirt, apply some neutral detergent
diluted in 5 to 6 parts water to a soft cloth,
wring out thoroughly, wipe off the dirt, and
then wipe again with a soft, dry cloth.
•
Alcohol, thinner, benzene, insecticides,
etc., could cause the print or paint to peel
off. Also, leaving rubber or vinyl products in
contact with this unit for long periods of time
could mar the cabinet.
•
When using chemical-impregnated wipes,
etc., read the cautions included with the
wipes carefully.
