General Safety Instructions (Cont.)

Moisture condensation

The unit may suffer from condensation in the following situations:
• When you take the unit directly from a cold to a warm place, and vice versa.
• When you use the unit in a room where you just turned on a heater, or where cold
air from an air conditioner is directed on to the unit.
• When you use the unit in hot and humid surrounds just after having moved it
from an air conditioned room.
• When the room is steamy or damp.
If condensation exists, the unit will not operate properly. Remove any disc,
plug the power cord into the wall socket, turn on the unit and leave it for two
to three hours. After that time, the unit will have warmed up and any moisture
will have evaporated. Keeping the unit connected to the wall socket will keep
moisture condensation problems to a minimum.

Disc protection

• Do not touch the playback side of the disc.
• Do not attach tape or paper to the disc.
• Fingerprints and dust on the disc cause picture and sound deterioration.
Always keep the disc clean.
• Wipe the disc from the centre outwards with a soft cloth. If you cannot
wipe off the dust with a soft cloth, wipe the disc lightly with a slightly
moistened soft cloth and finish with a dry cloth. Do not use any type of
solvent, commercially available benzene or antistatic spray for vinyl LPs, as
these may damage the discs.
• Do not store discs in a place subject to direct sunlight or near heat source.
• Do not store discs in a place subject to moisture, such as a bathroom or
near a humidifier.
• Store discs vertically in a case. Stacking discs or placing objects on discs
outside their case may cause warping.
