Cautions on Handling

Before turning the power switch on

Check once again that all connections are correct and that there are no problems with the connection cables.

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

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.

About condensation

If there is a major difference in temperature between the inside of the unit and the surroundings, condensation (dew) may form on the operating parts inside the unit, causing the unit not to operate properly.

If this happens, let the unit sit for an hour or two with the power turned off and wait until there is little difference in temperature before using the unit.

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.

Moving the unit
