Precautions

1. Warranty Claim You can find the serial number on the rear panel of this unit. In case of warranty claim, please report this number.

2. Recording Copyright Recording of copyrighted material for other than personal use is illegal without permission of the copyright holder.

3. AC Fuse

The fuse is located inside the chassis and is not user- serviceable. If power does not come on, contact your authorized service center.

4. Power WARNING

BEFORE PLUGGING IN THE UNIT FOR THE FIRST TIME, READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY.

The voltage of the available power supply differs according to country or region. Be sure that the power supply voltage of the area where this unit will be used meets the required voltage (e.g., AC 230 V, 50 Hz or AC 120 V, 60 Hz) written on the rear panel.

Worldwide models are equipped with a voltage selector to conform to local power supplies. Be sure to set this switch to match the voltage of the power supply in your area before plugging in the unit.

5. Do not touch this unit with wet hands

Do not handle this unit or power cord when your hands are wet or damp. If water or any other liquid enters the case, take this unit to an authorized service center for inspection.

6. Location of this unit

Place this unit in a well-ventilated location. Take special care to provide plenty of ventilation on all sides of this unit especially when it is placed in an audio rack. If ventilation is blocked, this unit may overheat and malfunction.

Do not expose this unit to direct sunlight or heating units as this unit's internal temperature may rise and shorten the life of the pickup. Avoid damp and dusty places and places directly affected by vibrations from the speakers. In particular, avoid placing the unit on or above one of the speakers. Be sure this unit is placed in a horizontal position. Never place it on its side or on a slanted surface as it may malfunction. When you place this machine near a TV, radio, or VCR, the playback picture may become poor and the sound may be distorted. In this case, place the machine away from the TV, radio, or VCR.

7. Care

From time to time you should wipe the front and rear panels and the cabinet with a soft cloth. For heavier dirt, dampen a soft cloth in a weak solution of mild detergent and water, wring it out dry, and wipe off the dirt. Following this, dry immediately with a clean cloth. Do not use rough material, thinners, alcohol or other chemical solvents or cloths since these could damage the finish or remove the panel lettering.

8. Notes on Handling Any changes or modifications in construction of this device which are not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

When shipping the machine, use the original shipping carton and packing materials. For maximum protection, repack the unit as it was originally packed at the factory. Do not use volatile liquids, such as insect spray, near the machine. Do not leave rubber or plastic products in contact with the machine for a long time. They will leave marks on the finish. The top and rear panels of the machine may become warm after a long period of use. This is not a malfunction. When the machine is not in use, be sure to remove the disc and turn off the power. If you do not use the machine for a long period, the unit may not function properly in the future. Turn on and use the machine occasionally.

9. To Obtain a Clear Picture The machine is a high technology, precision device. If the optical pick-up lens and disc drive parts are dirty or worn down, the picture quality becomes poor. To obtain a clear picture, we recommend regular inspection and maintenance (cleaning or parts replacement) every 1,000 hours of use depending on the operating environment. For details, contact your nearest dealer.

10. Notes on Moisture Condensation Moisture condensation damages the machine. Please read the following carefully. Moisture condensation occurs, for example, when you pour a cold drink into a glass on a warm day. Drops of water form on the outside of the glass. In the same way, moisture may condense on the optical pick-up lens inside this unit, one of the most crucial internal parts of the machine.

Moisture condensation occurs in the following cases.

- When you bring the machine directly from a cold place to a warm place.

- When you use the machine in a room where you just turned on the heater, or a place where the cold wind from the air conditioner directly hits the unit.

- In summer, when you use the machine in a hot and humid place just after you move the unit from an air conditioned room.

- When you use the machine in a humid place.

Do not use the machine when moisture condensation may occur. If you use the machine in such a situation, it may damage discs and internal parts. Remove the disc, connect the power cord of the machine to the wall outlet, turn on the machine, and leave it for two or three hours. After a few hours, the machine will have warmed up and evaporated any moisture. Keep the machine connected to the wall outlet and moisture condensation will seldom occur.
