Places with bad ventilation or high humidity
•
Very dusty locations
•
Make sure that the unit is mounted in a level position
•
for correct operation.
Do not place any object on the unit for heat dissipation.
•
Avoid installing this unit on top of any heat-generating
•
electrical device such as a power amplifier.
Connecting the power
Hold the power cord by the plug when connecting or
•
disconnecting it.
Insert the included power cord into the
•
connector completely.
Cleaning the unit
To clean the unit, wipe it gently with a soft dry cloth. Do
not wipe with chemical cleaning cloths, benzene, paint
thinner, ethyl alcohol or other chemical agents to clean
the unit as they could damage the surface.
Beware of condensation
If the unit is moved from a cold to a warm place, or
used immediately after a cold room has been heated or
otherwise exposed to a sudden temperature change,
condensation could occur. Should this happen, leave the
unit for one or two hours before turning the unit on.
About compact discs
In addition to audio CDs (CD-DA), the unit can play CD-R
and CD-RW discs on which audio CD, MP3, or WAV format
files are recorded. The CD player can also play 3-inch CDs.
Handling of compact discs
Always place the compact discs in the trays with their
•
label facing upward.
To remove a disc from its case, press down on the
•
center of the disc holder, then lift the disc out, holding
it carefully by the edges.
Avoid getting fingerprints on the signal side (the non-
•
label side). Grime and dust may cause skipping or
malfunction.
To clean the signal side of a disc, wipe gently with a soft
•
dry cloth from the center towards the outside edge.
Dirt on discs can lower the sound quality, so clean
them and always store them in a clean state.
Do not use any record spray, anti-static solutions,

clean CDs as they could damage the delicate playing
surface. It may cause CDs to become unplayable.
Do not affix any labels or stickers to the label side of
•
the disc and do not use any protective coating spray.
Do not insert discs that have adhesive remaining from
tape or stickers that have been removed. If they are
inserted into the player, they could stick to the internal
mechanism, requiring removal by a technician.
Never use a commercially available CD stabilizer. Using
•
stabilizers with this player will damage the mechanism
and cause it to malfunction.
Do not use cracked discs.
•
Only use circular compact discs. Avoid using non-
•
circular promotional, etc. discs.
AC IN
Music discs with copy control, a copy-protection
•
system, have been released from several record
companies in an attempt to protect the copyright.
Since some of these discs do not comply with the CD
specifications, they may not be playable on the unit.
Handling of MDs
The MD itself is mounted inside a cartridge. Soiling or
warping of the cartridge could cause malfunction.
To ensure continued enjoyment of the contents of an MD,
please observe the following precautions.
After use, always return an MD to its case.
•
Do not open the shutter and touch the disc inside.
•
Moreover, forcing the shutter open could break the
MD.
Keep discs out of direct sunlight and places of high
•
heat and humidity.
Wipe dirt and grime from the cartridge surface with a
•
dry cloth.
When applying labels to an MD, apply them correctly
•
to the indicated locations. Loose or raised labels could
cause an MD to become stuck in the unit.
Do not layer labels on top of other labels.
