Environmental considerations

The CD-RW900 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).

≠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. Do not install this unit in a confined space such as a book case or similar product, and do not put any material goods on the unit.

≠Avoid installing this apparatus on top of any heat- generating electrical device such as a power ampli- fier.

≠Make sure that the unit is mounted in a level position for correct operation.

NOTE

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

Handling of compact discs

The CD-RW900 has been designed for the playback of CD-DA format discs and MP3 files recorded in ISO9660 format: In addition to ordinary 5-inch and 3-inch CDs, it can also play properly recorded CD-R and CD-RW discs.

≠Always place the compact discs in the trays with their label facing upward.

≠To remove a disc from its case, press down on the center of the disc holder, then lift the disc out, hold- ing it carefully by the edges.

≠Avoid getting fingerprints on the signal side (opposite the label side). Grime and dust may cause skipping, so keep discs clean and store them in their cases when not being played. To clean the signal side of a disc, wipe gently with a soft dry cloth from the center towards the outside edge.

≠Do not use any record spray, anti-static solutions, benzene, paint thinner or other chemical agents to clean CDs as they could damage the delicate playing surface. It may cause CDs unplayable.

≠Discs should be returned to their cases after use to avoid serious scratches that could cause the laser pickup to “skip”.

≠Keep discs away from direct sunlight, and places of high heat and humidity. If left in such places, warping could result.

≠Do not affix any labels or stickers to the label side of the disc. Do not write on the disc with a ballpoint pen.

≠Do not insert discs that have adhesive remaining from tape or stickers that have been removed. If they are inserted into the player, they could stick to the internal mechanism, requiring removal by a techni- cian.

≠Do not use cracked discs.

≠Only use circular compact discs. Avoid using non- circular promotional, etc. discs.

≠The CD-RW900 cannot play unfinalized CD-R/RW discs.

≠Music discs with copy control, a compact disc copy- protection system, have been released form several record companies aiming to protect the copyright. Since some of these discs do not comply with the CD specifications, they may not be playable on the CD-RW900.
