CD-2 Care and Warnings

DO NOT ATTEMPT to OPERATE the CD-2 WITHOUT a CD in PLACE

If you attempt to take the CD-2 out of standby when no CD is present it will go back into standby. The CD Laser is inac- tive whenever the CD-2 is in Stop or Standby mode. The Laser will not oper- ate without a CD and the Magnetic Puck on the turntable. You can ONLY take the CD-2 output of Standby with a CD in place on the unit and the Magnetic Puck on the CD.

NEVER REMOVE the CD-2 MAG- NETIC PUCK while the CD is SPIN-

NING

NEVER PRESS DOWN on the CD-2 turntable as this will damage the turntable mechanism.

NEVER DROP the MAGNETIC PUCK or ANY OTHER OBJECT on the TURNTABLE

NEVER PACK or SHIP the CD-2 with the MAGNETIC PUCK on the

TURNTABLE

Undo pressure or shock to the turntable will damage the mechanism. Repair of the mechanism for this damage is not covered under the CD-2 warranty.

Also, NEVER TOUCH the LENS of the CD MECHANISM or clean it with anything other than specific cloth

designed for cleaning Optical Disc play- er lenses. You can use a small puff of clean air to remove minor dust buildup or just play a CD and the motion of the CD should keep the lens clear of dust. If you are concerned about dust buildup in your environment you can leave a blank CD in place to cover the mechanism when not using the CD-2.

REPAIR of the CD-2 MECHANISM DUE to MISHANDLING is NOT COVERED by the CD-2 WARRANTY

Following these guidelines will result in many years of reliable operation. The CD-2 mechanism is a professional grade device and is inherently a high reliability device.

Note that there are no user serv- iceable parts inside the CD-2 chassis.

Opening the chassis will void the war- ranty.

There are no fuses inside the CD- 2.

Use only with the supplied power sup- ply. Use with a different supply will void the warranty.

If you have a problem with the opera- tion of your CD-2 contact Bel Canto Design or your dealer/distributor for service.
