operating instructions should be adhered to.

4. Following Instructions – All operating and use instructions
should be followed.

5. Water and Moisture – The appliance should not be used
near water – for example, near a bathtub, washbowl,
kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a

6. Carts and Stands – The appliance should be used only with
a cart or stand that is recommended by the manufacturer.

6A. An appliance and cart

combination should be
moved with care.
Quick stops, excessive

surfaces may cause
the appliance and cart
combination to overturn.

7. Wall or Ceiling Mounting – The appliance should be
mounted to a wall or ceiling only as recommended by the
manufacturer.

8. Ventilation – The appliance should be situated so that its
location or position does not interfere with its proper
ventilation. For example, the appliance should not be
situated on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface that may
block the ventilation openings; or, placed in a built-in
installation, such as a bookcase or cabinet that may
impede the flow of air through the ventilation openings.

9. Heat – The appliance should be situated away from heat
sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other
appliances (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

10. Power Sources – The appliance should be connected to a
power supply only of the type described in the operating
instructions or as marked on the appliance.

11. Grounding or Polarization – Precautions should be taken so
that the grounding or polarization means of an appliance is
not defeated.

12. Power-Cord Protection – Power-supply cords should be

14. Cleaning – The appliance should be cleaned only as
recommended by the manufacturer.

15. Power Lines – An outdoor antenna should be located away
from power lines.

16. Outdoor Antenna Grounding – If an outside antenna is
connected to the receiver, be sure the antenna system is
grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage
surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides
information with regard to proper grounding of the mast
and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to
an antenna-discharge unit, size of grounding conductors,
location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding
electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.
See Figure A.

CAUTIONS DURING USE

• This TUNER-5CD CHANGER is capable of
playing discs which have the mark at right.

• During track selection, during search and
when the player sustains a strong impact, the
disc’s rotational speed changes greatly,
causing a small noise to be emitted. This is
not a malfunction of the player.

• The DN-H800 has a broad dynamic range. Please exercise
caution when turning up the volume on the amplifier in cases
when the playback volume is low. If the volume is turned up
too high, it could damage the speakers.

C

• Do not use any discs but exclusive audio discs with this
TUNER-5CD CHANGER.

• Placing this player or its connection cords near a TV or other
audio device could cause a humming sound to be emitted. if
this occurs, relocate the player or reroute the connection
cords.

• Be sure to remove the disc from the player before moving it.
The discs could be damaged if left in the player while it is
being moved.

• Do not place any object in the position where the disc is
loaded, or open and close the tray with anything inside.
Foreign objects in the tray could damage the play mechanism.

• Do not move the player from a cold place to a warm place
suddenly. If the player is cold when brought into a warm room,
condensation could form, preventing proper operation of the
player. If condensation does form on the player when it is
brought into a warm room, wait at least 30 minutes before
use.
