1 – Introduction—Some notes and precautions

Rack-mounting the unit

Use the rack-mounting kit to mount the unit in a stan- dard 19-inch equipment rack, as shown below. Remove the feet of the unit before mounting it.

See “Environmental considerations” on page 7 below for details of ventilation, etc.

Environmental considerations

The CC-222MKII may be used in most areas, but to maintain top performance, and prolong operating life, observe the following environmental conditions:

The nominal temperature should be between 5°C and 35°C (41°F and 95°F). The CC-222MKII is more sensitive to extremes of temperature than ordinary CD players.

Relative humidity should be 30 to 90 degrees non- condensing.

As the unit may become hot during operation, always leave sufficient space above the unit for ventilation. If you are mounting the unit in a rack, leave 1U of space above it. Allow at least 10 cm (4 in) at the rear of the unit for ventilation.

You should not place the unit on a piece of equip- ment generating heat, e.g. an amplifier, to avoid pos- sible problems with overheating.

Make sure that the unit is mounted in a level position for correct operation. Do not mount the unit in a rack tilted 5° or more from the vertical position.

NOTE

If the mounting surface is more than 5 degrees away from the horizontal, the tray will not open or close.

The voltage supplied to the unit should match the voltage as printed on the rear panel. If you are in any doubt regarding this matter, consult an electrician.

NOTE

When transporting the unit, always use the original packing materials. For this reason, we strongly recom- mend that you save all the packing materials that came with the CC-222MKII, in case you need to transport it in the future.

In addition, when transporting the unit, you should tape the disc tray closed, using an adhesive tape that will not spoil the finish of the unit.

Beware of condensation

If the unit (or a compact 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 player for one or two hours with the power turned on, then turn the power off and on again.
