care not to give it a shock or shake when
carrying.
Do not use volatile liquids, such as insect
•
spray, near the unit. Do not leave rubber or
plastic products in contact with this unit for
a long time. They will leave marks on the
finish.
The top and rear panels of the unit may

become warm after a long period of use.
This is not a malfunction.
When the unit is not in use, be sure to
•
remove the disc and turn off the power.
If you do not use the unit for a long period,
•
the unit may not function properly in the
future. Turn on and use the unit occasionally.
Notes on locating
Place the unit on a level surface. Do not use
it on a shaky or unstable surface such as a
wobbling table or inclined stand. The loaded
disc may come off the proper position and
cause damage to the unit.
When you place this unit near a TV, radio, or
VCR, the playback picture may become poor
and the sound may be distorted. In this case,
place the unit away from the TV, radio, or
VCR.
Do not use this unit in places which are
extremely hot, cold, dusty or humid.

bedding or carpeting.
Be sure to remove the disc and unplug the AC
power cord from the outlet before carrying the
unit.
Notes on cleaning
Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.
For stubborn dirt, soak the cloth in a weak
•
detergent solution, wring well and wipe.
Use a dry cloth to wipe it dry. Do not use
any type of solvent, such as thinners and
benzene, as they may damage the surface of
the unit.
• If you use a chemical saturated cloth
to clean the unit, follow that product's
instructions.
Inspection and Maintenance
