Safety Precautions
Handling the unit
When shipping the unit
The original shipping carton and packing materials
come in handy. For maximum protection, re-pack the
unit as it was originally packed at the factory.
To keep the surface clean
Do not use volatile liquids, such as insecticide spray,
near the unit. Do not leave rubber or plastic products in
contact with the unit for a long period of time.
They will leave marks on the surface.
Cleaning the unit
To clean the cabinet
Use a soft, dry cloth. If the surfaces are extremely dirty,
use a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild detergent
solution. Do not use strong solvents, such as alcohol,
benzine, or thinner, as these might damage the surface
of the unit.
Notes on Discs
Handling discs
Do not touch the playback side of the disc.
Hold the disc by the edges so that fingerprints will not
get on the surface.
Do not stick paper or tape on the disc.
Storing discs
After playing, store the disc in its case.
Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or sources
of heat, or leave it in a parked car exposed to direct
sunlight, as there may be a considerable temperature
increase inside the car.
Cleaning discs
Fingerprints and dust on the disc can cause poor
picture quality and sound distortion. Before playing,
clean the disc with a clean cloth. Wipe the disc from
the center out.
Do not use strong solvents such as alcohol, benzine,
thinner, commercially available cleaners, or anti-static
spray intended for analog records.
Notes on Remote Control
Remote Control Operation Range
Point the remote control at the remote sensor and press
the buttons.
Distance: About 23 ft (7 m) from the front of the
remote sensor.
Angle: About 30° in each direction of the front of the
remote sensor.
Remote control battery installation
Detach the battery cover on the rear
of the remote control, and insert two
R03 (size AAA) batteries with
and aligned correctly.
Caution
Do not mix old and new batteries. Never mix different
types of batteries (standard, alkaline, etc.).
Notes on Tapes
Preventing record
Removing the tab(s) of the cassette (with a small
screwdriver) will prevent accidental erasure.
To record again, cover the hole of the tab with adhesive
tape.
