Connections Setup Playback Setting the Timer Other Functions Troubleshooting Specifications
• Before turning the power switch on
Check once again that all connections are correct and that there are
no problems with the connection cables.
• Power is supplied to some of the circuitry even when the unit is
set to the standby mode. When traveling or leaving home for long
periods of time, be sure to unplug the power cord from the power
outlet.
• Sufficiently ventilate the place of installation
If the unit is left in a room full of the smoke from cigarettes, etc., for
long periods of time, the surface of the optical pickup could get dirty,
in which case it will not be able to read the signals properly.
• About condensation
If there is a major difference in temperature between the inside of
the unit and the surroundings, condensation (dew) may form on
the operating parts inside the unit, causing the unit not to operate
properly.
If this happens, let the unit sit for an hour or two with the power
turned off and wait until there is little difference in temperature
before using the unit.
• Cautions on using mobile phones
Using a mobile phone near this unit may result in noise. If so, move
the mobile phone away from this unit when it is in use.
• Moving the unit
Turn off the power and unplug the power cord from the power
outlet.
Next, disconnect the connection cables to other system units before
moving the unit.
• Note that the illustrations in these instructions may differ from the
actual unit for explanation purposes.
Note:
For proper heat dispersal, do not install this unit in a confined
space, such as a bookcase or similar enclosure.

Cautions on Handling
• Do not get fingerprints, oil or dirt on discs.
• Take special care not to scratch discs when removing them from
their cases.
• Do not bend or heat discs.
• Do not enlarge the hole at the center.
• Do not write on the labeled (printed) surface with ball-point pens,
pencils, etc., or stick new labels on discs.
• Water droplets may form on discs if they are moved suddenly from a
cold place (outdoors for example) to a warm place, but do not try to
dry them off using a hairdryer, etc.
Cautions on Storing Discs
• Be sure to remove discs after using them.
• Be sure to store discs in their cases to protect them from dust,
scratches, warping, etc.
• Do not store discs in the following places:
1. Places exposed to direct sunlight for long periods of time
2. Dusty or humid places
3. Places exposed to heat from heating appliances, etc.
Cleaning Discs
• If there are fingerprints or dirt on discs, wipe them off before using
the disc. Fingerprints and dirt can impair sound quality and cause
interruptions in playback.
• Use a commercially available disc cleaning set or a soft cloth to clean
discs.
Gently wipe the disc from the
inside towards the outside.
Do not wipe with a circular
motion.
NOTE
Do not use record spray, antistatic agents, or benzene, thinner or other
solvents.
Cautions on Loading Discs
• Only load one disc at a time. Loading two or more discs can damage
the unit or scratch the discs.
• Do not use cracked or warped discs or discs that have been repaired
with adhesive, etc.
• Do not use discs on which the sticky part of cellophane tape or labels
is exposed or on which there are traces of where labels have been
removed. Such discs can get caught inside the player and damage
it.
Inserting the Batteries
qSlide the rear lid in the
direction of the arrow and
remove it.
wLoad the two batteries properly
as indicated by the marks in the
battery compartment.
ePut the rear cover back on.
Figure 1
• “00 Tr 00 : 00” is displayed if a disc that cannot be played is loaded.
• “00 Tr 00 : 00” is displayed if the disc is loaded upside-down or if no
disc is loaded.
Do not touch the signal surface.
Holding Discs
• Set the disc with the labeled side facing up.
• Make sure the disc tray is fully open when inserting the disc.
• Place the discs flatly, 12 cm discs in the outer tray guide (Figure 1), 8
cm discs in the inner tray guide (Figure 2).
Loading Discs
12 cm disc 8 cm disc
Outer tray guide Inner tray guide
Figure 2
• Place 8 cm discs in the inner tray guide without using an adapter.
NOTE
Do not push the disc tray in by hand when the power is turned off.
Doing so could damage the set.
Getting Started
About the Remote Control Unit
NOTE
• Discs with special shapes (heart-shaped discs, octagonal discs, etc.)
cannot be played. Do not attempt to play them, as doing so can
damage the product.
• Some discs and some recording
formats may not be playable.
• Non-finalized discs cannot be
played.
bWhat is finalization?
Finalization is the process that
makes recorded CD-R/CD-RW discs playable on compatible
players.

Connecting the Speaker Cables
1Peel off about 10 mm of the sheathing at the tip of the cable, twist the core wire and
terminate it.
2Turnthespeakerterminal counterclockwise
to loosen it.
3Insert the speaker cable’s core wire into
the base of the speaker terminal.
4Turnthespeakerterminal counterclockwise
to tighten it.
NOTE
• Use speakers with an impedance of 6 to 16 Ω/ohms. The protection
circuit may be activated if speakers with an impedance other than
specified are used.
• Connect the speaker cables in a way that they do not stick out of the
speaker terminals.The protection circuit may be activated if the core
wires touch the rear panel or screws or if the + and – sides touch.
• Never touch the speaker terminals while the power is on. Doing so
could cause electric shock.
Protector circuit
The protection circuit will be activated in the following cases:
• When the speaker cable's core wires are touching the rear
panel or screws or when the speaker cable’s + and – sides are
touching
• When the surrounding temperature is extremely high
• When the internal temperature rises due to extended use with a
high output
If this happens, unplug the power cord, then check the connections
of the speaker cables and input cables. If the set’s temperature
is extremely high, wait for it to cool off and improve surrounding
ventilation. After doing this, plug the power cord back in.
If the protection circuit is activated though there are no problems
in ventilation around the set or in connections, the set could be
damaged. Turn off the power, then contact a DENON servicing and
inquiry outlet.
