Marantz SA-12S1 manual Compact discs, Placement, Always keep the disc surface clean, English

Compact discs

The glossy side shining like a rainbow is the front side of the disc, and the side on which the label is printed is the back.

Unlike conventional turntables for playing analog discs, the SA-12S1 reads the information recorded on the disc from underneath without contacting it using a beam of laser light. Therefore, the performance of a compact disc will not degrade like conventional analog records.

Handle discs carefully so as not to damage or scratch the front side.

To protect the disc, avoid placing it in the following locations:

-In direct sunlight or near a source of heat like a heater.

-In a place which is damp or dirty.

-In a place which could be exposed to rain, such as near a window.

Always keep the disc surface clean.

Up to six billion data units are recorded on the front side of the disc. When cleaning the disc surface, always be sure to use a special compact disc cleaner and wipe as shown below.

•Do not use conventional record cleaner for analog records, as this will adversely affect the disc surface. Store discs properly by placing them in their disc cases.

•Do not attach a piece of paper or sticker on the label side of disc. When a disc has a piece of plastic tape or rental CD label with paste protruded from the edge or when a disc has a trace of such a sticky object, do not attempt to play the disc. If such a disc is played on the CD player, impossibility of taking out the disc or other malfunction may result.

•Write only on the printed side of a CD-R or CD- RW, and only with a soft felt-tipped pen.

•Do not use a disc with a special shape.

Do not attempt to play a disc with a special shape such as a heart-shaped disc or octagonal disc. Otherwise the equipment malfunction may result

Placement

English

●Place the player on a firm, flat surface.

●Keep away from domestic heating equipment and direct sunlight.

●In a cabinet, allow about 2 inches of free space all around the player for adequate ventilation.

●If the SACD player cannot read SACDs/CDs/DVDs correctly, use a commonly-available cleaning CD/DVD to clean the lens before taking the SACD- player to be repaired. Other cleaning methods may destroy the lens. Always keep the tray closed to avoid dust on the lens.

●When it is moved from a cold to a warm environment, allow the SACD player to acclimatize for at least 2 hours in order to avoid damage. When suddenly placed in a warm environment, the lens may cloud over. Playing an SACD/CD/DVD will not be possible then. Wait until the moisture evaporates.
