MAKING CABLE CONNECTIONS

Be careful not to bend cables over the top of the receiver.

If cables are placed on top of the receiver, the magnetic field prod- cued by the receiver’s transformers can cause the speakers to pro- duce a humming noise.

USING DISCS

When using discs, you must always take the following precautions:

Do not touch the playback side of the disc.

Do not attach paper or tape to discs.

Do not store discs in a place subject to direct sunlight or near heat sources.

Do not store discs in places subject to moisture and dust such as a bathroom or near a humidifier.

Store discs vertically in a case. Stacking or placing objects on discs outside of their case may cause warping.

Cleaning Discs

Fingerprints and dust on the disc cause picture and sound deteriora- tion. Wipe the disc from the center outward with a soft cloth. Always keep the disc clean.

If you cannot wipe off the dust with a soft cloth, wipe the disc lightly with a slightly moistened soft cloth and finish with a dry cloth.

Do not use any type of solvents such as thinner, benzene, commer- cially available cleaners or anti-static spray for vinyl LPs. They might damage the disc.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Careful attention is devoted to quality standards in the manufacture of your system, and safety is a major factor in its design. However, safe- ty is also your responsibility.

This section lists important information that will help you properly use and enjoy your system. Read all the included safety and operating in- structions before using your system. Follow them closely, and retain them for future reference.

1.Heed Warnings — Follow all warnings on the product and in the operating instructions.

2.Cleaning — Unplug this product from the wall outlet before cleaning. Use only a damp cloth for cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.

3.Attachments — Do not use attachments/accessories not recom- mended by the product manufacturer, as they might create a hazard.

4.Water and Moisture — Do not use this product near water (for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub; in a wet basement; or near a swimming pool).

5.Accessories — Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The product may fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the prod- uct. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recom-

mended by the manufacturer or sold with the product. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for mounting, and use a recom- mended mounting accessory.

Carts — Move the product on a cart carefully. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the product/ cart to overturn.

6.Disc Tray — Keep your fingers well clear of the disc tray as it is closing. It may cause serious personal injury.

7.Burden — Do not place a heavy object on or step on the product. The object may fall, causing serious personal injury and serious damage to the product.

8.Connecting — When you connect the product to other equip- ment, turn off the power and unplug all the equipment from the wall outlet. Failure to do so may cause an electric shock and serious personal injury. Read the owner’s manual of the other equipment carefully and follow the instructions when making any connections.

9.Sound Volume — Reduce the volume to the minimum level before you turn on the product. Otherwise, sudden high volume sound may cause hearing or speaker damage.

10.Sound Distortion — Do not allow the product to output distorted sound for a longtime. It may cause speaker overheating and fire.

11.Headphones — When you use the headphones, keep the volume at a moderate level. If you use the headphones continu- ously with high volume sound, it may cause hearing damage.

12.Laser Beam — Do not look into the opening of the disc tray or ventilation opening of the product to see the source of the laser beam. It may cause sight damage.

13.Disc — Do not use a cracked, deformed, or repaired disc. These discs are easily broken and may cause serious personal injury and product malfunction.

14.Ventilation — Slots and openings in the cabinet provide ventila- tion, ensure reliable operation, and protect from overheating. Do not block or cover these openings, and do not place the product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. Do not place the product in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless it provides proper ventilation as specified by the manufac- turer.

15.Power Sources — Operate this product using only the power source indicated on its marking label. If you are not sure of your home's power type, consult your product dealer or local power company.

16.Polarization — This product is equipped with a polarized AC line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit in the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you cannot insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug still doesn't fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug. If you need an extension, use a polarized cord.

17.Power-Cord Protection — Route power-supply cords so they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed on or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, con- venience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the product.
