Before using

Pay attention to the following before using this unit:

•Moving the unit.

First eject the disc and turn off the power, wait 3 minutes after turning off the power, then unplug the power cord from the power outlet.

Disconnect the connection cables between the different components before doing this.

•Cautions on using mobile phones.

Using a mobile phone near this unit may result in noise. If so, move the mobile phone away from this unit when it is in use.

•Condensation (dew).

Water droplets may condense on internal operation parts if the set is brought into a heated room from the cold outdoors or when the room is heated rapidly. If this happens, the set may not operate properly.

•Should condensation occur.

The condensation will evaporate in one hour or less, at which time the system will function normally.

•Before turning the power operation switch on.

Check once again that all connections are correct and that there are not problems with the connection cables. Always set the power operation switch to the standby position before connecting and disconnecting connection cables.

•Sufficiently ventilate the place of installation.

If the unit is left in a room full of the smoke from cigarettes, etc., for long periods of time, the surface of the optical pickup could get dirty, in which case it will not be able to read the signals properly.

•Store the operating instructions in a safe place.

After reading the operating instructions, store them in a safe place as they could come in handy in the future.

•Power is supplied to some of the circuitry even when the power is set to the standby mode using the power operation switch. When traveling or leaving home for long periods of time, be sure to unplug the power supply cord from the power outlet.

•Note that the illustrations in these instructions may differ from the actual unit for explanation purposes.

NOTE:

•This CD/HDD music system uses a semiconductor laser. To ensure stable operation, it is recommended to use the set indoors at a temperature of 5°C (41°F) ~ 35°C (95°F).

Cautions on handling the hard disk (also referred

 

 

 

to as hard disk drive or “HDD”)

 

Started

The HDD is a recording medium with many fragile elements. Be

 

careful of the following when handling it.

 

¢Cautions on the installation environment

•Do not obstruct the cooling fan’s ventilation holes on the rear panel.

•Set on a flat surface that is not subject to vibrations or shocks.

•Do not place on receivers (amplifiers) or other components that get hot during operation.

•Place in a room that does not fill with smoke. (Cigarette smoke, the smoke from the food smoking process, insecticides and the like can damage the HDD.)

¢Cautions during operation

To avoid partial damage to the HDD’s recording surface or malfunction of the HDD, heed the following during operation:

•Do not subject to vibrations or shocks.

•Do not unplug the power cord. (Note that the sound being recorded or played could be lost if there is a power failure during operation.)

¢Backing up the HDD

By way of precaution against HDD breakdown, it is recommended that you periodically back up the recorded data onto a computer

( page 34).
