where they exit from the unit.
Never pull or stretch
the cord,
Grounding or polarization ~ Precautions that
should be taken so that the grounding or polari-
zation means of this unit is not defeated.
Ventilation - The unit should be situated so
that its location or position does not interfere
with its proper ventilation.
To maintain good ventilation, do not put records

Before operation
Beware of condensation
Water
vapor
in
the
air
may
condense
on
cold
parts,
forming
"dew" on its surface.
For
example,
when
a
bottle
taken
out
of
the
refrigerator
and
brought
into
a
warm
room,
dropets
of
water
will
form
on
the
bottle
surface.
This
phenomenon
is
called
“conden-
sation”.
If
this
occurs
of
the
unit
internally,
the
player
may
operate
incorrectly
or
may
not
function
at
ali.
This
is
not
a
malfunction,
however,
the
player
should
be
left
until
it
is
dry.
(Turn
the
power
of
this
unit
ON
and
leave
the
player
for
a
while.
After
several
hours,
even
in
the
worse
case,
the
player
will
stabilize
and
correct
playback
will
be
possible).
Be
especially
careful
in
the
following
cases:
@
When
the
unit
is
suddenly
brought
from
a
cold
place
to
a
warm
place
(causing
rapid
temperature
change).
@®
When
the
temperature
of
the
room
is
raised
suddenly
using
a
heater,
etc.
®
When
the
unit
is
brought
from
a
well-cooled
(aircondi-
tioned)
room
to
a
damp
and
hot
room.
®
In
conditions
where
the
temperature
difference
be-
tween
the
surroundings
and
this
unit
might
cause
condensation.
