Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you've just
purchased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now its
time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement
your equipment offers, This manufacturer and the Electronic
Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group want you
to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe
level. One that lets the sound come through loud and clear
without annoying blaring or distortion—and, most importantly,
without affecting your sensitive hearing,
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort
level” adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds
“normal” can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing,
Guard apainst this by setting your equipment at a safe level
BEFORE your hearing adapts.
To establish a safe level:
® Start your volume contol at a low setting,
® Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably
and clearly, and without distortion.
Once you have established a comfortable sound level:
@ Set the dial and leave it there,
Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing
damage or toss in the future, After all, we want you listening for
a lifetime.
We Want You Listening For A Lifetime

CAUTIONS ON INSTALLATION
|
CARE OF DISCS |
Select a horizontal and stabie place. Avoid the
following:
@Expose to direct sunlight
@installation near a toilet or kitchen
@Expose to a spotlight
@lnstallation near a refrigerator, dimmer, air-conditioning
equipment or other large electrical appliances
Installation near neon signs
® installation on a non-horizontal place with a weak floor
Where the floor is not horizontal, insert a hard plate or
something similar beneath the casters,
@nstallation in a place where it is difficult to carry out
coin/bill collection, servicing or maintenance,
Condensation
In winter, if this system is brought from outdoors into
a heated room or the temperature of the room where
this system is installed is raised quickly, the operation
unit or lens wil] be covered by condensation.
When covered by condensation, this system cannot
read and play laser beam signals.
Keep this system at room temperature for one to two
hours depending on the degree of condensation and
the condensation will evaporate, making this system
ready for playing.
Other symptoms similar to condensation may also oc-
cur at places exposed directly to a cooler or air-con-
ditioner in summer. In such a case, move this system
to another location.
Special cautions on setting
(DPower capacity
Supply power from a wall outlet that allows a safe
supply of power equal to or more'than the total pow-
er consumption of all equipment you will use,
@Connection cord
Prevent the weight or tensile force of the cord from
being applied to the plug of the connection cord.
@®Grounding
Where no earth leakage breaker is available, con-
nect the grounding conductor to the earth.
@Confirmation after setting
Be sure to confirm the following:
* Casters are locked.
* The menu sheet matches the discs.
© The external speaker phase is properly set and the
tight and left speakers are positioned properly.
Our company will not be responsibie for any accident
or other damage due to an improper fixing condition,
fixing with insufficient strength, accident, or other
similar circumstances.
*® With this unit, use discs which display the mark shown

COMPACT
aise
DIGITAL AUDIO.
* When holding discs, do not touch their signal surfaces.
.
Hold the edges, or one edge and the center hole.
Do not affix labels or adhesive tape to the label sur-
faces. Also, do not scratch or damage the label.
Dises rotate at high speed inside the player. Do not use
damaged (cracked or warped) discs.
CLEANING DISCS
.
.
The presence of fingerprints or smudge on the surface
of the disc will not directly affect the recorded signals;
but depending on the degree of contamination, the
brightness of the light reflected from the signal surfaces
may be reduced, causing degradation of sound quality.
Always keep your discs clean by wiping them gently
with a soft cloth from the inner edge toward the outer
perimeter.
es
If a disc becomes very dirty, wet a soft cloth in water.
After wringing it out well, wipe the dirt away gently,
and then remove any water drops with another soft dry
cloth,
Do not use record cleaning sprays of anti-static agents
‘on discs. Also, never clean discs with benzene, thinner,
or other volatile solvents which may cause damage to
the disc surface.
STORING DISCS

Discs are made of the same kinds of plastic used for con-
ventional analog audio records. Be careful not to allow
discs to warp; always store discs in their cases vertical-
ly, avoiding locations with heat or humidity, or extreme-
ly low temperatures. Avoid leaving discs in cars and on
the seats being exposed to direct. sunlight. This can be
harmful to your discs.
Always read and abide by the precautionary notes list-
ed on the disc labels.
