Cautions on handling

•Before turning the power switch on

Check once again that all connections are correct and that there are no problems with the connection cables.

•Power is supplied to some of the circuitry even when the unit is set to the standby mode. When going on vacation or leaving home for long periods of time, be sure to unplug the power cord from the power outlet.

•Proper ventilation

If the unit is left in a room full of smoke from cigarettes, etc., for long periods of time, the surface of the optical pickup may get dirty, preventing it from receiving signals properly.

•About condensation

If there is a major difference in temperature between the inside of the unit and its surroundings, condensation may form on parts inside the unit, causing it to fail to operate properly.

If this happens, let the unit sit for an hour or two with the power turned off and wait until there is little difference in temperature before using the unit.

•Cautions on using mobile phones

Using a mobile phone near this unit may result in noise. If that occurs, move the mobile phone away from the unit when it is in use.

•Moving the unit

Turn off the power and unplug the power cord from the power outlet. Next, disconnect the cables connected to other system units before moving the unit.

•About care

•Wipe the cabinet and control panel clean with a soft cloth.

•Follow the instructions when using a chemical cleaner.

•Benzene, paint thinner or other organic solvents as well as insecticide may cause material changes and discoloration if brought into contact with the unit, and should therefore not be used.
