Caution:
This operation will erase all data stored in memory including clock,
timer settings and tuner preset.
■ Condensation
Sudden temperature changes, storage or operation in an extremely
humid environment may cause condensation inside the cabinet (CD
pickup, tape heads, etc.) or on the transmitter on the remote control.
Condensation can cause the unit to malfunction. If this happens,
leave the power on with no disc (or cassette) in the unit until normal
playback is possible (about 1 hour). Wipe off any condensation on
the transmitter with a soft cloth before operating the unit.
■ Before transporting the unit
Remove CDs from the unit. Make sure there is no CD in the disc
spindle. Then, set the unit to the power stand-by mode. Carrying the
unit with discs left inside can damage the unit.
