Before Use

Read This Before Operating

... Choose the installation location of your unit carefully. Avoid
placing it in direct sunlight or close to a source of heat. Also
avoid locations subject to vibrations and excessive dust,
heat, cold or moisture. Keep away from such sources that
hum, such as transformers or motors.
... Do not open the cabinet as this might result in damage to the
circuitry or electrical shock. If a foreign object should get into
the set, contact your dealer.
... When removing the power plug from the wall outlet, always
pull directly on the plug, never yank the cord.
... Be sure not to handle discs with dirty fingers. Never insert a
disc which has a crack on the surface.
... To keep the laser-pickup clean, do not touch it, and do not
forget to close the disc tray.
... Do not attempt to clean the unit with chemical solvents as
this might damage the finish. Use a clean, dry cloth.
... Keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.
Beware of condensation
When the player (or a compact disc) is moved from a cold to
a warm place or used after a sudden temperature change,
there is the danger of condensation. Water vapor in the air
could condense on the mechanism or the laser pickup. If
droplets of water form on these parts, correct playback will
be impossible because the laser cannot read the information
from the disc correctly. To prevent this, if you are going to
use the player in a condition where condensation could
occur, you should leave the player for 1 or 2 hours after
plugging it into an AC outlet depending on the amount of
condensation. If this is done, the player will stabilize at the
temperature of its surroundings.
CAUTIONS :
... Do not force the tray by hand during opening and closing
operations.
... Do not leave the disc tray open when the player is not in
use to prevent dirt and dust from entering the mechanism.

Handling the Discs
This unit has been designed specifically for reproduction of
compact discs bearing the "˛" mark. No other discs can be
reproduced.
... Always place the compact disc in the disc tray with the label
facing upward. (Compact discs can be played 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.
How to remove the disc
How to hold the disc
... Fingermarks and dust should be carefully wiped off the disc's
recorded surface with a soft cloth.
Wipe radially
... Never use such chemicals as record sprays, antistatic sprays
or fluid, benzine or thinner to clean compact discs. Such
chemicals will do irreparable damage to the disc's plastic
surface.
... Discs should be returned to their cases after use to avoid
serious 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 can warp the disc.
... Do not stick paper or write anything with a ballpoint pen on
the surface of the label side.
... Do not use irregular shape CDs (octagonal, heart-shape,
etc.). CDs of the sort can damage the unit.
