Discs must not be cleaned with record cleaning sprays, or static prevention sprays, etc. Also do not use volatile liquids such as benzine, or thinner, etc.

Never play cracked or warped discs

The disc revolves in the player at high speed when it is played. Never play a cracked, scratched or warped disc. This may damage the player or cause it to malfunction.

Never use discs with special shapes

CD’s with special shapes (heart-shaped CDs, octagonal CDs, etc.) cannot be played on this set.

Attempting to do so may damage the set. Do not use such CDs.

After using discs, store them upright

After playing a disc, always remove it from the player and return it to its jacket. Then store it standing upright away from heat and humidity.

Store discs carefully. If you store discs at an angle, or stacked on top of each other, discs may become warped even when in their jackets.

Do not leave discs in locations such as the seat of a car, which may become excessively hot.

ENGLISH

For Proper and Long Use of

This Unit

Do not move the unit during playback

During playback, the disc rotates at high speed. Do NOT lift or move the unit during playback. Doing so may damage the disc.

When moving the unit

When changing places of installation or packing the unit for moving, be sure to remove the disc and return the disc table to its original position in the player. Then, press Power switch to turn off, then disconnect the power cord. Moving this unit with the disc loaded may result in damage to this unit.

Installation

Select a stable place to the side of a TV set or stereo system to be connected to the unit.

When using the unit with a stereo system, install the speakers a little bit away from the TV.

Do NOT install the unit on top of a TV or color monitor. Install the unit away from equipment that may be affected by magnetism, such as a cassette deck.

Do NOT place objects on top of the unit.

Avoid installing in a place that is:

Exposed to direct sunlight

Exposed to humidity or where ventilation is poor

Extremely hot or cold

Exposed to vibration

Exposed to dust

Exposed to oily smoke, steam or heat (for example, a kitchen)

Do not block vents

Do NOT use the player on top of a long-fibered carpet, bed or sofa, and do not cover it with a cloth, etc. This will prevent heat radiation and could result in damage.

Avoid heat

Do NOT place the unit on equipment which generates heat, such as an amplifier.

When installing the unit in a rack, place it on the lowest shelf possible (however, not where it is exposed to dust) and separated from the amplifier to avoid the heat generated by the amplifier or other audio equipment.

CAUTION: WHEN PLACING THE UNIT IN A STEREO RACK WITH GLASS DOORS

Be sure there is ample space between the unit and the glass doors when opening the disc table using the remote control. If the disc table opens against strong resistance, such as a closed glass door, damage to the unit may result.

Lens cleaner

The player's pickup lens should not become dirty in normal use, but if for some reason it should malfunction due to soiling, contact your nearest MARANTZ service center. Lens cleaners are commercially available, but special care should be exercised in their use since some may cause damage to the lens.
