Notes on discs
• Before playing, wipe the disc with a cleaning
cloth from the center outward to the edge.
• Do not clean discs with solvents, such as
benzine, thinner, or commercially available
cleaners or anti-static spray intended for vinyl
LPs.
• Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or heat
sources such as hot air ducts, nor leave it in a
car parked in direct sunlight.
On safety
• Completely disconnect the AC power cord
(mains lead) from the wall outlet (mains) if it
is not going to be used for an extended period
of time. When unplugging the unit, always
grip the plug. Never pull the cord itself.
• Should any solid object or liquid get into the
system, unplug the system, and have it
checked by qualified personnel before
operating it again.
• AC power cord must be changed only at the
qualified service shop.
On placement
• Do not place the system in an inclined
position or in locations that are extremely hot,
cold, dusty, dirty, or humid or lacking
adequate ventilation, or subject to vibration,
direct sunlight or a bright light.
• Be careful when placing the system on
surfaces that have been specially treated (for
example, wax, oil, polish) as staining or
discoloration of the surface may result.
GB
50
• If the system is brought directly from a cold to
a warm location or is placed in a very damp
room, moisture may condense on the lens
inside the unit, and cause the system to
malfunction. In this situation, remove the
disc, and leave the system turned on for about
an hour until the moisture evaporates.
On heat buildup
• Heat buildup on the unit during operation is
normal and is not a cause for alarm.
• Do not touch the cabinet if it has been used
continuously at a high volume because the
cabinet may have become hot.
• Do not obstruct the ventilation holes.
On the speaker system
The built-in speaker system is not magnetically
shielded, and the picture on nearby TV sets may
become magnetically distorted. In this situation,
turn off the TV, wait 15 to 30 minutes, and turn
it back on. If there is no improvement, move the
system far away from the TV.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Caution: If you leave a still video image
or on-screen display image displayed on
your TV for an extended period of time via
this system, you risk permanent damage to
your TV screen. Projection TVs are
especially susceptible to this.
Cleaning the cabinet
Clean this system with a soft cloth slightly
moistened with a mild detergent solution.
Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring
powder, or solvent, such as thinner, benzine,
or alcohol.
On Bluetooth communication
• Bluetooth devices should be used within
approximately 10 meters (unobstructed
distance) of each other. The effective
communication range may become shorter
under the following conditions.
– When a person, metal object, wall or other
obstruction is between the devices with a
Bluetooth connection.
– Locations where a wireless LAN is
installed.
– Around microwave ovens that are in use.
– Locations where other electromagnetic
waves occur.
