FOR SAFE AND EFFICIENT OPERATION
Do not damage the power cord.
When not in use, disconnect the power cord from the
outlet, Grasp the plug, not the cord, when disconnect-
ing the unit.
If water should enter the unit, electrical shock or amal-
function may result. Use in an area where there is low
humidity and little dust.
Do not disassemble or alter the unit in any way.
Do not use the unit in area where extremes in tempera-
ture occur (below 50C or exceeding 350C), or where il
may be exposed to direct sunlight.
Because of the unit’s extremely low noise and wide
dynamic range, there may be a tendency to turn the
volume on the amplifier higher than necessary. Doing
so may produce an excessive output from the amplifier,
which can cause damage to your speakers. Use care
when playing compact discs. Wait until the music has
started before raising the volume.
Sudden changes in the surrounding temperature can
cause dew to form on the optical pickup lens inside the
unit. Under this condition the unit may not operate prop-
erly. Ifthis should occur, remove the disc and allow the
player to adjust to the surrounding temperature.
-2-

CONNECTIONS
Locate the unit horizontally on a heavy duty stand or firm
level surface and away from the speaker system, to avoid
sound feedback.
NOTE:
-Do not place the unit near asource of heat (e.g. a
radiator) or in direct sunlight.
-Do not place the unit in an area with high humidity.

straight as possible and, while listening to the sound from
the system, secure it in aposition where the best FM
reception is found.
Infringe areas, or where reception is distorted or noisy, an
FM outdoor antenna (not supplied) should be connected
instead of the FM indoor antenna lead wire. The terminals
will accept 75-ohm coaxial cable,
AM antenna

broadcasts.
Assemble the loop antenna.
Unwind the antenna wires (about 3turns), then connect
them to the AM LOOP ANT. terminals. Place the loop
antenna in aposition which yields the best AM reception,
or attach it to awall or other surface as shown.
