Unpacking
Carefully unpack your CD player and remove all the enclosed accessories: CD clamper, remote control, AC cord. Be sure to inspect the unit for any possible shipping damage. If you see any, contact your Parasound Dealer immediately. Save all the packing material in case you need to ship the unit for repair. Before you proceed, find the serial number located on the rear panel of your amplifier and record it here for reference:

Installation
Your C/DP-2000 Ultra 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.
Located your CD player away from your speakers to minimize vibrations that could interfere with the optical laser. This could cause the error correction circuits to operate excessively for other than defects in the CDs themselves. The unit should not be placed near any component that generates heat or a strong magnetic field, such as a power amplifier.
Do not place your C/DP-2000 Ultra near your radio or TV tuner since digital circuitry uses very high frequency signals that could cause interference with clear broadcast reception. Additionally, RF radiation from radio or TV tuners could interfere with the clarity of CD reproduction.
A Note on Condensation and Dew
If your C/DP-2000 Ultra is brought directly from a cold location to a warm room or if it is placed in a very damp room, moisture may condense on the laser lens within the unit and the player may not operate. If this occurs, remove the disc and leave the player in a warm, dry place for about an hour so the moisture can evaporate.
