DO NOT move this unit during playback.
During playback, the disc is rotating at high
speed. Do not try to lift or move this unit as the
disc may be damaged.
When moving this unit
You must remove the disc and close the disc tray
when moving this unit.
Then, press the OPERATION switch, and after
“-STANDBY-” disappears from the display, unplug
the power cord from the AC outlet.
If the unit is moved with a disc remaining inside,
this can cause a malfunction.
Location for installation
• Choose a stable place near the stereo system
that is to be used in combination with this unit.
• Do not install this unit near a television or color
monitor. Keep this unit away from such devices as
cassette decks that are subject to magnetism.
• Install this unit onto a level place when possible.
Avoid the following locations for
installation.
• Locations exposed to direct sunlight
• Places subject to humidity and with less ventila-
tion
• Places where are extremely hot or cold
• Places subject to strong vibration
• Places subject to dust
• Places subject to oil, steam, and heat (such as
kitchens)
Do not put articles.
Do not put articles on this unit.
To avoid heat emission
Do not place this unit on such device as an ampli-
fier that may emit heat. If the unit is installed on a
rack, install the unit below the rack where the
amplifier is installed so as to avoid heat emission
from the amplifier and other audio devices.
Notice when this unit is installed in a
rack with glass doors
While the glass doors are closed, do not open the
disc tray by pressing the open/close (u) button of
the remote control. Disc tray performance will be
blocked, and that may result in a malfunction.
Power off this unit when it is not used.
Depending on the condition of radio waves emit-
ted during television broadcasting, interference
fringes may appear on the television monitor, but
that is not a malfunction. In such a case, power
off the unit. There may also be a case where
noises are heard on the radio due to radio wave
interference.
Dew condensation
In winter, be careful when carrying this unit from
a cold place to a warm place or if the room tem-
perature is suddenly raised by a heater or the
like where this unit is installed. The unit interior
(operating blocks and lens) will have dew conden-
sation on it. In such a condition, this unit cannot
work normally and playback is impossible. This
depends on the state of dew condensation, but
you will be able to enjoy the music if the unit is
left untouched for one to two hours after it has
been turned on and the temperature of this unit is
maintained at room temperature until the conden-
sation dries.
Even in summer, dew condensation can occur if

this unit is directly exposed to cool air from an air
conditioner. In such a case, the installation place
should be changed.
Batteries
Caution:
Batteries used for remote controller shall not be
exposed to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire
or the like.
How to handle discs
• Do not use any deficient disc (with cracks, warp,
etc.).
• Do not damage the signal surface of the disc or
make it dirty.
• Do not place paper or a sticker on the disc. Such
awkward handling can warp the disc and play-
back may become impossible. In many cases,
rental discs carry labels and paste may protrude
from under the label. Before use, check that the
disc is free from protruding paste or the like.
• Do not play with two discs in a stack.
How to store discs
• Always put your discs in a case. Store them ver-
tically where high temperature, high humidity,
and direct exposure to sunlight are not prevalent.
Places with extremely low temperature should
also be avoided.
• Read the caution notes carefully that are at-
tached to discs.
Disc cleaning
• If a disc is dirty from fingerprints or dusty, the
sound quality may be lowered. Lightly wipe the
disc with soft cloth, from the inside to outer pe-
riphery. (Don’t wipe it along the circumference.)
• Do not use a volatile chemical such as benzine
or thinner. Record spray, anti-static agents, and
other such materials cannot be used either.
• Where the disc seems to be very dirty, dip soft
cloth in water, wring it well, and remove contami-
nants. Lastly, remove the moisture with dry cloth.
Disc in a specific shape
This unit cannot accept discs in specific shapes
(heart-shaped, hexagonal, etc.) for playback. Never
use such discs as they can cause malfunctions.
Notice when handling optical digital cables
• Do not fold the cables. For storage, wind each ca-
ble to make a coil whose diameter is approx.15
cm or larger.
• For connection, insert the cable connectors
firmly into the terminals of this unit and the other
device.
• Use the cables whose each length is 3 m or less.
• When the cable connectors get dusty, wipe the
dust away with a dry soft cloth before inserting
into the terminals.
Cleaning
• Usually, wipe the unit with a dry soft cloth. When
the dirt is hard to remove, dip soft cloth in deter-
gent diluted 5 or 6 times with water, wring it
well, and remove contaminants. Then, remove
the moisture with dry cloth.
• Do not use a solvent like alcohol, benzine, thinner,
or pesticide because such a substance can dam-
age the exterior. In addition, do not let this unit
contact a rubber or plastic form for a long time.
That may damage the cabinet surface of the unit.
• When using a chemical cloth for cleaning, read
the caution provided with the chemical cloth
product.
• Before cleaning, unplug the power cord from the
AC outlet.
