Read this before operation

<As the unit may become warm during operation, always leave sufficient space around the unit for ventilation.

<The voltage supplied to the unit should match the voltage as printed on the rear panel. If you are in any doubt regarding this matter, consult an electrician.

<Choose the installation location of your unit carefully. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight or close to a source of heat. Also avoid locations subject to vibrations and excessive dust, heat, cold or moisture.

<Do not place the unit on the amplifier/receiver.

<Do not open the cabinet as this might result in damage to the circuitry or electrical shock. If a foreign object should get into the unit, contact your dealer or service company.

<When removing the power plug from the wall outlet, always pull directly on the plug, never yank the cord.

<Do not attempt to clean the unit with chemical solvents as this might damage the finish. Use a clean, dry cloth. A soft cloth moistened with a diluted amount of household or window cleaner can be used to remove more stubborn dirt.

<Keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.

Placement of the unit

High-quality hardened tool steel is used for the pin-point feet, securely attached to the bottom of the player. Although the cover feet may appear loose, as the weight of the unit is applied, they become firm and secure. This design effectively damps and reduces vibration.

<Be careful to avoid injury when moving the unit, on account of its weight. Get someone to help you if necessary.

<To protect floors, etc. you may stick the felt pads supplied with the unit to the bottom of the cover feet.
