1 – Introduction—Environmental considerations

Rack-mounting the unit

Use the rack-mounting kit to mount the unit in a stan- dard 19-inch equipment rack, as shown below. Remove the feet of the unit before mounting. If you are mounting the unit in a rack, leave 1U of space above it.

See "Environmental considerations" on the previous page.

Some notes and precautions

Connect the MD-CD1 only to the specified power source. When unplugging the cord, grasp the plug itself.

Clean only with a dry cloth. Do not use benzene, paint thinner or other agents that could damage the surface. Dust or grime on the top cover can be removed with a soft cloth lightly moistened with a diluted mild detergent solution.

Beware of condensation

If the unit is moved from a cold to a warm place, or used after a sudden temperature change, condensa- tion inside the unit may occur, resulting in moisture on the internal mechanism or an inserted disc, thus impairing proper operation. Should this occur, leave

the player turned on for one or two hours so that the condensation can evaporate before you begin opera- tion. Also, please remove all discs from the unit if it will be moved, or not operated for an extended period of time.

Handling of compact discs

The MD-CD1 has been designed for the playback of	• Hold the CD like this
CD-DA format discs and MP3 files recorded in
ISO9660 format. In addition to ordinary 5-inch and
3-inch CDs, it can also play properly recorded CD-R
and CD-RW discs.

When removing a CD from its case, press down on the center of the disc holder to free the CD, then lift the disc out, holding it carefully by the edges.

• Removing a disc

•Avoid getting fingerprints on the signal side (oppo- site the label side). When cleaning, wipe gently with a soft cloth from the center towards the out- side edge. Dust and grime may cause skipping, so keep discs clean and store them in their cases when not being played.

•Do not use any record spray, anti-static solutions, benzene, paint thinner or other chemical agents to clean CDs as they could damage the delicate play- ing surface.
