File this owner's manual in a safe place so you don’t misplace it. Save the carton and packing inserts in case you ever have to ship or move your C/DP-1000. Find the serial number which is printed on the unit’s rear panel and note it here for future reference or in case of casualty loss or theft:

Placement

Your C/DP-1000 should be placed on a level and sturdy surface, out of direct sunlight. It should be in a well-ventilated area, away from heating ducts or radiators. The area must be free of dust or excessive humidity.

The location should be stable and isolated from speakers or foot steps to minimize vibrations which could interfere with the sensitive optical laser and thereby require the error correction circuits to engage for other than defects in the CDs themselves. Your unit will simply sound better.

The unit should not be placed near any component which generates a strong magnetic field, such as a power amplifier. Do not place directly on top of an amplifier which may generate excessive heat.

It is also wise not to place any CD player nearby your tuner or TV since digital circuitry uses very high frequency signals which could cause interference with clear broadcast reception, or conversely the tuner’s radiations from its local oscillator will pollute the clarity of CD reproduction.

If you have any doubts about a correct location for your C/DP-1000, call your Parasound dealer for further advice.
