Handling Precautions

Do not use this unit in direct sunlight where it would be exposed to high temperatures above 40°C (104°F).

ÖWhen abnormal operation occurs

*Unplug the AC power cord from the AC wall outlet and remove all the batteries. Then reload the batteries after a few minutes, reconnect the AC power cord and switch the power ON.

1.Avoid installing in the following places

ÖWhere it could be subject to vibrations.

ÖWhere it is excessively humid, such as in a bathroom.

ÖWhere it could be magnetized by a magnet or speaker.

2.Pay attention to dust

Be sure to close the CD door so that dust does not collect on the lens.

3.Condensation

In the following cases, condensation may occur in the unit, in which case the unit may not operate correctly.

ÖIn a room where a heater has just been switched on.

ÖIn a place where there is smoke or high humidity.

ÖWhen the unit is moved directly from a cold to a warm room.

In these cases, set the button to STANDBY and wait 1 or 2 hours before use.

4.Volume setting

CDs produce very little noise compared with analog sources. If the volume level is adjusted for these sources, the speakers may be damaged by the sudden increase of output level. Therefore, lower the volume before operation and adjust it as required during play.

5.Safety mechanism

This unit incorporates a safety interlock mechanism which switches the laser beam on and off, so that when the CD door is open, the laser beam stops automatically.

6.Do not place cassette tapes, etc. near the speakers

Since there are magnets in the speakers, do not place tapes or magnetic cards on them as recorded data could be erased.
