Precautions
Safety
• This unit operates on 220 – 240
V AC, 50/60 Hz. Check that the unit’s operating voltage is identical with your local power supply.
• To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not place objects filled with liquids, such as vases, on the apparatus.
Installing
• Do not install the unit in an inclined position. It is designed to be operated in a horizontal position only.
• Keep the unit and discs away from equipment with strong magnets, such as microwave ovens, or large loudspeakers.
• Do not place heavy objects on the unit.
Lightning
For added protection for this set during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet. This will prevent damage to the set due to lightning and power-line surges.
Notes about the discs
• To keep the disc clean, handle the disc by its edge. Do not touch the surface. Dust, fingerprints, or scratches on the disc may cause it to malfunction.
• Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or heat sources such as hot air ducts, or leave it in a car parked in direct sunlight as the temperature may rise considerably inside the car.
• After playing, store the disc in its case.
• Clean the disc with a cleaning cloth.
Wipe the disc from the centre out.
• Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners, or anti-static spray intended for vinyl LPs.

Precautions
On safety
Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet, unplug the player and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.
On power sources
• The player is not disconnected from the AC power source
(mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the player itself has been turned off.
• If you are not going to use the player for a long time, be sure to disconnect the player from the wall outlet. To disconnect the
AC power cord (mains lead), grasp the plug itself; never pull the cord.
On placement
• Place the player in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the player.
• Do not place the player on a soft surface such as a rug.
• Do not place the player in a location near heat sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, or mechanical shock.
• Do not install this player in a confined space, such as a bookshelf or similar unit.
• Install the player so that the AC power cord (mains lead) can be unplugged from the wall socket immediately in the event of trouble.
• If the player is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, or is placed in a very damp room, moisture may condense on the lenses inside the player. Should this occur, the player may not operate properly. In this case, remove the disc and leave the player turned on for about half an hour until the moisture evaporates.
• When you move the player, take out any discs. If you don’t, the disc may be damaged.
On adjusting volume
Do not turn up the volume while listening to a section with very low level inputs or no audio signals. If you do, the speakers may be damaged when a peak level section is played.
On cleaning
Clean the cabinet, panel, and controls with a soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent such as alcohol or benzine.
On cleaning discs, disc/lens cleaners
Do not use cleaning discs or disc/ lens cleaners (including wet or spray types). These may cause the apparatus to malfunction.
On replacement of parts
In the event that this unit is repaired, repaired parts may be collected for reuse or recycling purposes.
