PRECAUTIONS
Follow the advice below for safe and correct operation.
ON AC voltage
Before connectiong AC cord, check that the rated voltage shown on the rear panel matches your local voltage.
AC 120 V, 60 Hz
Positioning
•Do not use the unit in places which are extremely hot, cold, dusty or humid.
•The unit should be situated with adequate space around it so that proper heat ventilation is assured. Allow 10 cm clearance from the rear and the top of the unit, and 5 cm from the each side.
-Do not place the unit on a bed, rug, or similar surface that may block the ventilation openings.
-Do not install the unit in a bookcase, cabinet, or airtight rack where ventilation may be impeded.
Using the unit near a TV set
Although the unit is magnetically shielded, there may be cases in which the picture on some TV sets may become magnetically distorted.
•If the TV picture is distorted, turn off the power of the TV set once, and after 15 to 30 minutes turn it on again.
•If there seems to be no improvement, move the unit further away from the TV set.
•Furthermore, be sure not to place magnets or objects using magnets, such as audio racks, toys etc. near the TV set. These may cause magnetic distortion to the picture due to their interaction with the unit.
Howling or buzzing sound
A howling or buzzing sound may be heard if a turntable or a stereo system is placed near the unit. Move the unit away from the equipment or decrease the volume.
Safety
•When connecting and disconnecting the AC cord, always grasp the plug. Do not pull the cord by itself since pulling the cord may damage it and thus be hazardous.
•When you are not going to use the unit for a long period of time, disconnect the AC cord. If the cord is plugged in, a small amount of current keeps on flowing to the unit even if the power button is not ON.
Cleaning
To clean the cabinet, use a soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use strong solvents, such as alcohol, benzine or thinner.
Keep away magnetic items
Keep cassette tapes, personal credit card etc. using magnetic cording away from the unit as the recorded information may be erased or some noise may be added on cassette tapes.
Should any problem occur, disconnect the AC cord and refer servicing to qualified personnel only.
