Before Using the Unit

Read this before attempting any operations.

<The nominal temperature should be between 5°C and 35°C (41°F and 95°F). The CD-RW recorder is more sensitive to extremes of temperature than ordinary CD players.

<Relative humidity should be 30 to 85 percent non condensing.

<As the unit may become warm during operation, always leave sufficient space around the unit for ventilation.

<The voltage supplied to the unit should match the voltage as printed on the rear panel. If you are in any doubt regarding this matter, consult an electrician.

<Choose the installation location of your unit carefully. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight or close to a source of heat. Also avoid locations subject to vibrations and excessive dust, heat, cold or moisture.

<Do not place the unit on an amplifier/receiver.

<Do not open the cabinet as this might result in damage to the circuitry or electrical shock. If a foreign object should get into the unit, contact your dealer or service company.

<When removing the power plug from the wall outlet, always pull directly on the plug, never yank the cord.

<To keep the laser pickup clean, do not touch it and always close the disc tray.

<Do not attempt to clean the unit with chemical solvents as this might damage the finish. Use a clean, dry cloth.

<Keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.

<Do not tilt the main unit while a disc is inserted. Doing so may cause a malfunction.
