Introduction
About This Manual
This manual is organized as follows:
• The manual mainly explains operations using the
buttons on the remote control.
You can use the buttons both on the remote
control and on the main unit for the same
operations if they have the same or similar names
(or marks), unless mentioned otherwise.
• Basic and common information that is the same for
many functions is grouped in one place, and is not
repeated for each procedure. For instance, we do not
repeat the information about turning on/off the unit,
setting the volume, changing the sound effects, and
others, which are explained in the section “Common
Operations” on pages 10 and 11.
• The following symbols are used in this manual:
Gives you warning and caution to
prevent damage or risk of fire/electric
shock.
Furthermore, it gives you information
about what is not good for obtaining
the best possible performance from the
unit.
Gives you information and hints you
should know.
Precautions
Installation
• Install in a place which is level, dry and neither too
hot nor too cold—between 5˚C and 35˚C.
• Install the unit in a location with adequate
ventilation to prevent internal heat buildup in the
unit.
• Leave sufficient distance between the unit and the
TV.
• Keep the speakers away from the TV to avoid
interference with TV.
DO NOT install the unit in a location near
heat sources, or in a place subject to direct
sunlight, excessive dust or vibration.

Power sources
• When unplugging the unit from the wall outlet,
always pull on the plug, not the AC power cord.
DO NOT handle the AC power cord with
wet hands.
Moisture condensation
Moisture may condense on the lens inside the unit in
the following cases:
• After starting heating in the room
• In a damp room
• If the unit is brought directly from a cold to a warm
place
Should condensation occur, the unit may malfunction.
In this case, leave the unit turned on for a few hours
until the moisture evaporates, unplug the AC power
cord, then plug it in again.
Others
• Should any metallic object or liquid fall into the unit,
unplug the power cord and consult your dealer
before operating any further.
• If you are not going to operate the unit for an
extended period of time, unplug the power cord.

Playing Back Discs
This unit has been designed to play back the following
discs—CD, CD-R, and CD-RW.
When playing a CD-R or CD-RW
User-edited CD-Rs (CD-Recordable) and CD-RWs
(CD-ReWritable) can be played only if they are
already “finalized.”
• Usually you can play back your original CD-Rs or
CD-RWs recorded in music CD format. However,
sometimes they may not play depending on their
characteristics or recording conditions.
• Before playing CD-Rs or CD-RWs, read their
instructions or cautions carefully.
• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not play on this unit
because of their disc characteristics, damage or stain
on them, or if the player’s lens is dirty.
• CD-RWs may require a longer readout time. This is
because the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than for
regular discs.
General notes
In general, you will have the best performance by
keeping your discs and the mechanism clean.
• Store discs in their cases, and keep them in cabinets
or on shelves.
• Keep the unit’s disc cover closed when
not in use.
Continued use of irregular shape discs
(heart-shape, octagonal, etc.) can damage
the unit.

RW is inserted
