Cautions
• Since the unit is very heavy, be careful when
installing the unit.
• You need two people to install the unit.
• Be careful with the tools you use when installing
the unit.
• Be sure that the cabinet is sturdy enough to support
the weight of the unit.
• To reduce the risk of fire, do not place any heating
or cooking appliance beneath this unit.
• Install the unit so that its AC power cord can be
connected directly to a wall outlet. Do not use a
converter or extension cord.
• Be sure that the AC power cord has no slack when
using the unit, since the cord acts as an FM wire
antenna. If the AC power cord has some slack,
wind it up to the cord hook until the cord has no
slack.
• The unit has a built-in ferrite bar antenna for AM
radio reception. Check the condition of AM
reception before fixing in position.
• Install the unit as far as possible from a source of
noise. (for example, refrigerator, microwave oven,
fluorescent lamp, etc.)
• This unit is not waterproof. The unit should be
installed where it will not be exposed to splashing
water, which could damage the unit.
• To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not
touch the AC power cord with wet hands.
• Never place objects between the top of the unit and
the bottom of the cabinet. This could cause the unit
to fall.

Note on DualDiscs
A DualDisc is a two sided disc product which mates
DVD recorded material on one side with digital audio
material on the other side. However, since the audio
material side does not conform to the Compact Disc
(CD) standard, playback on this product is not
guaranteed.

copyright protection
technologies
This product is designed to play back discs that
conform to the Compact Disc (CD) standard.
Recently, various music discs encoded with copyright
protection technologies are marketed by some record
companies. Please be aware that among those discs,
there are some that do not conform to the CD standard
and may not be playable by this product.
To handle compact discs

Do not stick paper or
tape nor write
anything on the
