OPERATING PRECAUTIONS

•In the winter you may notice that condensation forms on the window of a well-heated room.

Condensation may also occur inside the SACD player in the following situations:

–When the listening room is first heated.

–When the humidity in the room is high.

–When the unit is moved from a cold environment to a warm room.

•	If condensation occurs, the number of tracks cannot be read and the	ENGLISH
	SACD player may not function properly. If this happens, leave the	ENGLISH

	power ON and wait for about 30 minutes before operating the unit.
•	The SACD player may interfere with the reception of your tuner or TV
	set. If this occurs, place the SACD player farther away from the tuner
	or TV.
•	The SACD player features very little noise compared to analog
	records, and the noise before actual playback begins is almost
	inaudible. Therefore, be careful not to set the volume control of the
	amplifier too high, otherwise other audio components such as the
	speakers may be damaged when actual playback starts.
