Precautions

Features

Thank you for purchasing the XL-R2010BK CD/CDR Multiple Compact Disc Recorder. Please read these instructions thoroughly and carefully before using the unit to ensure that you will obtain optimum performance and a long service life.

Safeguarding against electric shock, fire hazards and damage

1)A very low electrical current continues to flow when the

STANDBY/ON (power) button is in the standby mode. To save power and ensure safety when the unit is not going to be used for an extended period of time, disconnect the power cord from the wall socket.

2)Do not handle the power cord with wet hands.

3)To unplug the power cord from the wall socket, always take hold of the molded plug part and pull the plug rather than pull- ing on the cord.

4)If the power cord is damaged or a disconnected wire or worn contact is found, consult the nearest JVC dealership.

5)Do not bend the cord at a sharp angle or pull or twist it.

6)Do not modify the power cord in any way.

7)Do not attempt to disassemble the unit. Do not remove casing screws or touch any of the parts inside the unit.

8)Do not insert metallic objects into the unit.

9)Unplug the power cord from the wall socket during electrical storms.

10)If water should find its way inside the unit, unplug the power cord from the wall socket and consult the nearest JVC dealership.

11)Do not install the unit in a poorly ventilated location.

Installation

1)Do not place the unit on or next to an amplifier. This is to pre- vent the humming caused by the unit’s proximity to some types of amplifiers. Be sure to place the unit where operation will not be affected by other electrical equipment.

2)Do not place the unit in a location where the ambient temperature will exceed 35°C (95°F) (namely, in direct sunlight, near a heating appliance, etc.) or fall below 5°C (41°F), where it is very humid or dusty, or where the unit will be subject to vibration.

3)The unit may not function properly if it is moved suddenly from a cold place (0°C, 32°F) to a warm place since condensation may form inside. In such a case, leave the unit in standby mode for about 2 hours, after which time it should function normally.

Disc care

•Storing CDs

•Always be sure to store each CD in its own case.

•Do not place CDs in direct sunlight, near a heating appliance or any other location that is susceptible to high temperatures.

•If cellophane tape, a sticker or some other form of adhesive is found on the label side of the disc, clean it off before loading the disc in the unit.

•Do not stick adhesive labels or write anything on a CD.

•Do not bend CDs.

•Do not insert shaped CDs, such as CDs in heart, flower or other shapes, as the shape does not match that of the CD tray, and using such a CD will cause the unit to malfunction.

Cleaning the cabinet

Never use benzine or paint thinners to clean the cabinet as they may mar the unit’s surface finish.
