(See markings on the back of the unit)
CAUTION:
To prevent electric shock, match wide blade of plug to wide slot, fully insert.
Before Use
Choose unit installation location carefully. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight or close to a source of heat.
Also avoid locations subject to vibrations and excessive dust, cold or moisture. Keep away from
sources that hum, such as transformers or motors.
Do not open the cabinet as this might result in damage to the circuitry or electrical shock, if a foreign
object should get into the set, contact your dealer.
Be sure not to handle discs with dirty fingers. Never insert a disc that has a crack on the surface.
When removing the power plug from the wall outlet, always pull directly on the plug, never pull the cord.
To keep the laser pickup clean, do not touch it, and do not forget to close the disc tray.
Do not attempt to clean the unit with chemical solvents as this might damage the finish. Use a clean,
dry cloth.
In order to shut off the power to this product completely, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. Be
sure to unplug the unit if you do not intend to use it for an extended period of time, such as a vacation.
Keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.
Beware of Condensation
When the player (or a compact disc) is moved from a cold to a warm place or is used after a sudden
temperature change, there is a danger of condensation. Water vapor in the air could condense on the
mechanism or the laser pickup. If droplets of water form on these parts, correct playback will be
impossible because the laser cannot read the information from the disc correctly. To prevent this, if you
are going to use the player in a condition where condensation could occur, you should leave the player
for 1 or 2 hours after plugging it into an AC outlet depending on the amount of condensation. If this is
done, the player will stabilize at the temperature of its surroundings.
