Precautions for use
o These units are very heavy, so take care to avoid injury during
installation .
o Do not install these units in locations that could become hot . This
includes places that are exposed to direct sunlight or near a radia-
tor, heater, stove or other heating equipment . Moreover, do not
place them on top of an amplifier or other equipment that gener-
ates heat . Doing so could cause discoloration or deformation .
o Avoid locations that are extremely cold or exposed to vibrations,
excessive humidity or dust .
o In order to enable good heat dissipation, leave at least 20 cm (8")
between these units and walls and other equipment when install-
ing them . If you put them in a rack, take precautions to prevent
overheating by leaving at least 5 cm (2") open above the tops
of the units and at least 10 cm (4") open behind them . Failure to
provide these gaps could cause heat to build up inside and result
in fire .
o If installing in a rack with a glass door, do not use the remote con-
trol tray OPEN/CLOSE (-) button to open the disc tray when the
door is closed . If the disc tray is forcibly prevented from moving,
damage could result .
o Place the main and power supply units in stable locations .
o Do not place anything on top of the main or power supply unit .
o Do not put cloth on top of the units or place them on top of bed-
ding or thick carpet . Doing so could cause them to overheat or
damage them .
o Do not lift or move the main unit during playback because the
disc rotates at high speed . Doing so could damage the disc .
o Always remove any loaded disc before moving the main unit
or packing it for installation in a different location, for example .
Moving the main unit with a disc inside could cause damage .
o The voltage supplied to the power supply unit should match the
voltage as printed on its back . If you are in any doubt regarding
this matter, consult an electrician .
o Do not open the bodies of the units as this might result in dam-
age to the circuitry or cause electric shock . If a foreign object
should get into one of the units, contact your dealer .
o When removing the power plug from an outlet, always pull
directly on the plug . Never pull on the cord itself .
o The ES-LINK format is unique to ESOTERIC and is not compatible
with the HDMI specification . Do not connect the ES-LINK connec-
tor to an HDMI connector on a device made by another company .
