DO NOT MOVE THE UNIT DURING CD PLAYBACK
During playback, the disc rotates at high speed. Do NOT lift or
move the unit during playback. Doing so may damage the disc.
WHEN MOVING THIS UNIT
When changing places of installation or packing the unit for
moving, be sure to remove the disc. Then, press the power
switch to turn the power off, and disconnect the power cord.
Moving this unit with the disc loaded may result in damage to
this unit.
Beware of condensation
When the unit (or a disc) is moved from a cold to a warm place,
or used after a sudden temperature change, there is a danger
of condensation; vapor in the air could condense on the
internal mechanism, making correct operation impossible. To
prevent this, or if this occurs, leave the unit for one or two
hours with the power turned on. The unit will stabilize at the
temperature of its surroundings.
CAUTION Regarding Placement
To maintain proper ventilation, be sure to leave a space
around the unit (from the largest outer dimensions including
projections) equal to, or greater than, shown below.

ENGLISH
<Should the disc become dirty, wipe the
surface radially (from the center out
towards the edge) with a soft, dry
cloth. Do not wipe in a circular motion :
Compact Disc
Discs which can be used with this unit:
Conventional audio CDs
Properly finalized CD-R discs
Note:
Depending on the quality of the disc and/or the condition of the
recording, some CD-R discs may not be playable.
CD-RW discs cannot be played on this unit.
<Always put the disc in place with the label side facing you.
(Compact discs can be played or recorded only on one side.)
<To remove a disc from its storage case, press down on the
center of the case and lift the disc out, holding it carefully by
the edges.
<Never use such chemicals as record sprays, antistatic sprays
or fluid, benzine or thinner to clean the discs. Such chemicals
will do irreparable damage to the disc's plastic surface.
<Discs should be returned to their cases after use to avoid dust
and scratches that could cause the laser pickup to "skip."
<Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or high humidity and
temperature for extended periods. Long exposure to high
temperatures will warp the disc.
<CD-R discs are more sensitive to the effects of heat and
ultraviolet rays than ordinary CDs. It is important that they are
not stored in a location where direct sunlight will fall on them,
and which is away from sources of heat such as radiators or
heat-generating electrical devices.
<Printable CD-R discs aren't recommended, as the label side
might be sticky and damage the unit.
<Do not stick papers or protective sheets on the discs and do
not use any protective coating spray.
<Use a soft oil-based felt-tipped pen to write the information on
the label side. Never use a ball-point or hard-tipped pen, as
this may cause damage to the recorded side.
<Never use a stabilizer. Using commercially available CD
stabilizers with this unit will damage the mechanisms and
cause them to malfunction.
<Do not use irregular shape CDs (octagonal, heart-shape, etc.).
CDs of this sort can damage the unit:
How to remove the disc How to hold the disc
<If you are in any doubt as to the care and handling of a CD-R
disc, read the precautions supplied with the disc, or contact
the disc manufacturer directly.
