Installation and handling precautions

(1) Opening the transport lock

•Make sure that the transport lock is released and all trans- port protective materials are removed before turning on the power. Failure to do so will result in equipment malfunction.

(2) Location of installation

•Do not install the equipment near a source of vibration such as motor, engine or loudspeaker. They may adversely af- fect the equipment performance.

•Do not install the equipment in a place that is exposed to radiation, X-rays or corrosive gases. This may cause a mal- function or failure of the equipment.

•If the equipment is to have a fixed installation, we advise you to give sufficient allowance for space so that extension and replacement of optional units and other operations such as replacement and maintenance can be easily performed. For details, please consult your dealer or nearest JVC-au- thorized service agent.

•This equipment must be installed on a level surface that is subject to minimal vibration

(3) Condensation

•If the equipment which has been left in a cold room for a long period of time and is moved to a warm room or if the temperature of the room suddenly increases, condensation may occur on a mobile part, optical pickup or a disc inside the equipment with a disabling effect. If this occurs, do not use the equipment for a few hours before starting it again.

(4) Interference with reception of other devices

•When this equipment is used near a radio receiver such as a radio, television or BS tuner, reception of radio waves on these these devices may experience interference.

(5)Use in a strong radio wave environment

The equipment may not function properly if it is used in a strong radio wave environment, for example near an illegal radio station or a broadcasting station. If this happens, please consult your dealer or nearest JVC-authorized service agent.

(6)Compatible media

Media compatible with the MC-8200U/8600U varies depend- ing on the drive in which it is accommodated. For details, refer to the instruction manual of the relevant drive.

(7) Installation environment

•This equipment has been designed with consideration for dust protection, but its structure is not dust-proof. There- fore, if it is used in an environment where cigarette smoke and/or dust are present, the lens of the drive or a disc will become dirty and stop functioning correctly. Using the equip- ment in these conditions should be avoided. If, however, you have to use it in a dusty environment, make sure to carry out ‘maintenance & regular inspection’ at an earlier interval.

•If the equipment is used outside of the suitable temperature and humidity range, the drive life may become greatly short- ened. Please make sure to use the equipment in an appro- priate environment.

(8) Backup

•JVC cannot accept responsibility for any loss of data and/or any other direct and indirect damage caused by the use or malfunctioning of this equipment. We therefore strongly ad- vise that all important data should be fully backed up in case of unexpected loss.

•When this equipment is used with a system which runs con- tinually for 24 hours or which cannot be turned off at all, we recommend a redundancy design such as [a] back-up sys- tem on the system.

(9) Never take the equipment apart.

•Fire and electric shock may result. Do not try to take apart or modify this equipment or the drive units inside.

(10) Cleaning

•Do not use solvents (paint thinner, benzene, etc.), cleaning products containing abrasives, anti-static agent, cloth soaked in detergent and silicon cloth. They can cause discolora- tion.

•Wipe-clean using a well-squeezed cloth which has been soaked in a neutral detergent.

(11) Do not place anything on the top panel.

•Do not place any objects on or step onto the top panel of this equipment as a malfunction or accident may result.

Disc handling precautions

A disc is made of plastic material which can be easily dam- aged. If the discs are damaged or become dirty, it may lead to malfunction such as incorrect data readout.To prevent this han- dle the discs with care so that they will stay free of damage, stain, dust/dirt adhesion, warping, etc.

(1)Do not touch the reflective surface (data surface) of a disc directly with your hand. Be sure to use special care when handling double-sided discs.

(2)Use commercially available cleaning kits such as a CD cleaner to remove dust and/or dirt from the disc sur- face.

•Gently wipe-clean the disc surface without scratching it. (Make sure to wipe from the centre of the disc towards the outer edge. Never use a circular motion.)

(3) Do not use chemicals for disc cleaning.

•Never use any solvents other than those included in the cleaning kits.

•Never use analogue record cleaning fluid, benzene, alcohol or anti-static agent.

(4) Do not damage the label surface

•Damage to the label surface also affects the data surface immediately underneath it.

•Do not attach pieces of paper or adhesive tape to either side of the disc.

•When you need to write on the label surface, please use a permanent ink felt-tip pen.

Writing implements with hard tips such as ball-point pens and pencils should not be used as they will damage the surface.

(5) Periodical cleaning of the discs is recommended.

•Periodical disc cleaning may be required depending on the equipment installation environment and disc handling method.

* Always from the centre to outer edge
