Precautions—Continued

5.Never Touch this Unit with Wet Hands

Never handle this unit or its power cord while your hands are wet or damp. If water or any other liquid gets inside this unit, have it checked by your Onkyo dealer.

6.Installing this Unit

•Install this unit in a well-ventilated location. Ensure that there’s adequate ventilation all around this unit, especially if it’s installed in an audio rack. If the ventilation is inadequate, the unit may overheat, leading to malfunction.

•Do not expose this unit to direct sunlight or heat sources, because its internal temperature may rise, shortening the life of the optical pickup.

•Avoid damp and dusty places, and places subject to vibrations from loudspeakers. Never put the unit on top of, or directly above a loudspeaker.

•Install this unit horizontally. Never use it on its side or on a sloping surface, because it may cause a malfunc- tion.

•If you install this unit near a TV, radio, or VCR, the picture and sound quality may be affected. If this occurs, move this unit away from the TV, radio, or VCR.

7. Care

Occasionally, you should dust this unit all over with a soft cloth. For stubborn stains, use a soft cloth damp- ened with a weak solution of mild detergent and water. Dry the unit immediately afterwards with a clean cloth. Do not use abrasive cloths, thinners, alcohol, or other chemical solvents, because they may damage the finish or remove the panel lettering.

8. Handling Notes

•If you need to transport this unit, use the original packaging to pack it how it was when you originally bought it.

•Do not use volatile liquids, such as insect sprays, near this unit. Do not leave rubber or plastic items on this unit for a long time, because they may leave marks on the case.

•This unit’s top and rear panels may get warm after prolonged use. This is normal.

•When you’ve finished using this unit, remove all discs and turn off the power.

•If you do not use this unit for a long time, it may not work properly the next time you turn it on, so be sure to use it occasionally.

9. To Obtain a Clear Picture

This unit is a high-tech, precision device. If the lens on the optical pickup, or the disc drive mechanism becomes dirty or worn, the picture quality may be affected. To maintain the best picture quality, we recom- mend regular inspection and maintenance (cleaning or worn part replacement) every 1,000 hours of use depending on the operating environment. Contact your Onkyo dealer for details.

10. Moisture Condensation

Moisture condensation may damage this unit.

Read the following carefully:

When you take a glass containing a cold drink outside on a summer’s day, drops of water, called condensation, form on the outside of the glass. Similarly, moisture may condense on the lens of the optical pickup, one of the most important parts inside this unit.

•Moisture condensation can occur in the following sit- uations:

—The unit is moved from a cold place to a warm place.

—A heater is turned on, or cold air from an air con- ditioner is hitting the unit.

—In the summer, when this unit is moved from an air conditioned room to a hot and humid place.

—The unit is used in a humid place.

•Do not use this unit when there’s the possibility of moisture condensation occurring. Doing so may dam- age your discs and certain parts inside this unit.

If condensation does occur, remove all discs and leave this unit turned on for two to three hours. By this time, the unit will have warmed up and any con- densation will have evaporated. To reduce the risk of condensation, keep this unit connected to a wall out- let.
