Precautions and notes for placement and use

Please use the CD-DJ1 only within its operating tem- perature range of 5°C to 35°C (41°F to 95°F). Please avoid use or storage in dusty or humid environments because these conditions can cause malfunction.

To maintain top performance, and prolong operating life, observe the following notes, precautions and environmental conditions:

•Avoid exposing it to extremes of temperature and humidity and avoid mechanical shocks.

•Keep the unit away from strong magnetic fields (TV sets, computer monitors, large electric motors, etc.).

•Relative humidity should be 30 to 90 percent.

•As the unit may become hot during operation, always leave sufficient space above the unit for ventilation. Do not operate this unit in a confined space such as a bookcase, and do not put anything on top of the unit.

•Avoid placing this unit on top of any heat-generat- ing electrical device such as a power amplifier.

•Always use the supplied AC adapter (PS-PS5) with the standard home electrical power out- let. Use of other AC adapters may damage the CD-DJ1.

•Use the unit on a table or rack that is level and sturdy.

•Wipe dirt from the unit with a dry cloth. Never use thinner, benzene or other solvents because they may cause acrylic parts and coated surfaces to dissolve, labels to be eroded or other damage.

Beware of condensation

If the unit (or a compact disc) is moved from a cold to a warm place, or used after a sudden temperature change, there is a danger of condensation; vapor in

the air could condense on the internal mechanism, making correct operation impossible.

Power supply

Attach the DC plug of the supplied AC adapter to the DC IN jack on the rear panel and connect the power plug to a standard electrical power outlet.

Pressing the POWER switch on the rear panel lights up the display. After a brief start-up screen, the home screen will appear.

Sleep function

If playback is paused and the unit has not been used for 30 minutes, the unit will automatically go to sleep, stopping the CD mechanism and turning off the backlight.
