F. When the appliance exhibits a distinct
change in performance –this indicates a
need for service.
19. Replacement Parts – When replacement parts
are required, be sure the service technician has
used replacement parts specified by the
manufacturer or have the same characteristics
as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions
may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.
20. Safety Check – Upon completion of any service
or repairs to the appliance, ask the service
technician to perform safety checks to determine
that the appliance is in proper operation condition.
21. Wall or Ceiling Mounting – The appliance
should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as

from heat sources such as radiators, heat
registers, stoves, or other appliances (including
amplifiers) that produce heat.
10.
Ventilation – Slots and openings in the cabinet
are provided for ventilation and to ensure
reliable operation of the appliance and to
protect it from overheating, and these openings
must not be blocked or covered. The openings
should never be blocked by placing the
appliance on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar

Notes on discs
■Cautions when using rented compact
discs
Do not use discs that have cellophane tape attached
to them or rental compact discs that have rental
labels attached. If the tape is sticking out or peeling
off, the disc may not be able to be ejected and the
DV-S205TX may become damaged.
■Do not use 8-cm CD adapters.
Condensation
When moving the DV-S205TX from a cold
location to a hot location, when quickly heating a
cold location with a furnace, or other similar
situation, condensation may occur. This may not
only cause improper operation of the device, but
may also damage the discs and components.
If condensation has occurred, turn on the
DV-S205TX and leave it running for 1 to 2 hours.
If you will not use the DV-S205TX, then eject any
disc inside.
If the dirt is excessive, soak the cloth in water, wring
it out, and then wipe the disc surface clean. Next,
using a soft dry cloth, wipe the moisture from the
disc surface.
Do not use conventional record cleaners or antistatic
agents. Also, never use benzene, thinners, or other
volatile agents as they may damage the disc surface.
■Cautions for disc storage
Do not store discs in locations exposed to direct
sunlight, near heat emitting devices, and other
locations of excessive heat, or locations of extremely
low temperatures. Also, always store discs properly
in their protective cases.
■Cleaning
Dirt and contaminants on discs can obstruct the
pickup of the signals and lead to deterioration the
sound. When dirty, clean the data side with a soft
dry cloth, wiping from the inside of the disc toward
the outside.
Never place labels or stickers on the data side or
label side of the discs. Also, do not write on the discs
or allow them to become scratched.
Do not play CD-ROMs intended for computer use or
non-audio compact discs. Doing so may cause high-
pitched noises or other unpredictable results that
may damage speakers, amplifiers, and other
connected components.
