WARNING

BEFORE PLUGGING IN THE UNIT FOR THE FIRST TIME, READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY.

The voltage of the available power supply differs according to country or region. Be sure that the power supply voltage of the area where this unit will be used meets the required voltage (e.g., AC 230 V, 50 Hz or AC 120 V, 60 Hz) written on the rear panel.

3. Do not touch this unit with wet hands

Do not handle this unit or power cord when your hands are wet or damp. If water or any other liquid enters the case, take this unit to an authorized service center for inspection.

4. Location of this unit

Place this unit in a well-ventilated location.

Take special care to provide plenty of ventilation on all sides of this unit especially when it is placed in an audio rack. If ventilation is blocked, this unit may overheat and malfunction.

Do not expose this unit to direct sunlight or heating units as this unit’s internal temperature may rise and shorten the life of the pickup.

Avoid damp and dusty places and places directly affected by vibra- tions from the speakers. In particular, avoid placing the unit on or above one of the speakers.

Be sure this unit is placed in a horizontal position. Never place it on its side or on a slanted surface as it may malfunction.

Do not place near tuners or TV sets.

If placed next to a TV or tuner, it may cause reception interference resulting in some noise in the TV or tuner output.

5. Care

From time to time you should wipe the front and rear panels and the cabinet with a soft cloth. For heavier dirt, dampen a soft cloth in a weak solution of mild detergent and water, wring it out dry, and wipe off the dirt. Following this, dry immediately with a clean cloth.

Do not use rough material, thinners, alcohol or other chemical sol- vents or cloths since these could damage the ﬁnish or remove the panel lettering.

6. Points to remember

If this unit is brought from a cold environment to a warm one or is in a cold room that is quickly heated, condensation may form on the pickup, preventing proper operation. In this case, remove the disc and leave the power ON for about one hour to remove the con- densation.

When transporting this unit, be careful not to bump it.

Always close the disc tray when not loading or unloading discs to protect delicate internal parts from dust.

Memory Preservation

This unit does not require memory preservation batteries. A built-in memory power back-up system preserves the contents of memory during power failures and even when the POWER switch is set to OFF.

The POWER switch must be set to ON in order to charge the back-up system. The memory preservation period after the unit has been turned off varies depending on climate and placement of the unit. On average, memory contents are protected over a period of a few weeks after the time the unit has been turned off. This period is shorter when the unit is exposed to a very humid climate.
