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 traveling or leaving home for long
periods of time, be sure to unplug the power cord from the power
outlet.

• Sufficiently ventilate the place of installation

If the unit is left in a room full of the smoke from cigarettes, etc., for

long periods of time, the surface of the optical pickup could get dirty,
in which case it will not be able to read the signals properly.

• About condensation

If there is a major difference in temperature between the inside of

the unit and the surroundings, condensation (dew) may form on
the operating parts inside the unit, causing the unit not 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 so, move

the mobile phone away from this 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 connection cables to other system units before

moving the unit.

•

Note that the illustrations in these instructions may differ from the
actual unit for explanation purposes.

Cautions on Installation

Note:
For proper heat dispersal, do not install this unit in a confined
space, such as a bookcase or similar enclosure.

b Note

b b b

NOTE

• If the bass is unusually strong, then place unit on a hard stand such
as a concrete block etc.

• There are strong magnets attached to the speakers on the S-52. Do
not place watches, magnetic tapes etc. near them.

• Sometimes the color on the S-52 may become distorted on
account of the type of television used. When this happens, turn
off the television and then turn it back on after 15-30 minutes. The
television’s own degaussing circuit should improve the screen. If the
color distortion remains, move the main unit further away from the
television.

Getting Started

Cautions on Handling

Discs Usable on the S-52

q Music CDs

Discs marked with the logotype below can be played in this unit.
Discs with special shapes (heart-shaped discs, octagonal
discs, etc.) cannot be played. Do not attempt to play
them, as doing so can damage the product.

b Playing discs with special shapes

could damage the set. Do not use
such discs.

w CD-R/CD-RW

Some discs and some recording formats may not be playable.
Non-finalized discs cannot be played.

b What is finalization?
Finalization is the process that makes recorded CD-R/CD-RW discs

playable on compatible players.

Holding Discs

Do not touch the signal surface.

•

Set the disc with the labeled side facing up.

• Insert the disc into the CD slot slowly. Release your hand once the
disc is drawn in.

12 cm disc

8 cm discs cannot be used on this player. Do not insert 8 cm discs

•

into the CD slot.

In the following cases, “No Disc” is shown on the display:

• When no disc is loaded.

• When the disc is loaded upside-down.

• When the disc’s information could not be read properly.

Cautions on Loading Discs

• Only load one disc at a time. Loading two or more discs can damage

the unit or scratch the discs.

• Do not use cracked or warped discs or discs that have been repaired
with adhesive, etc.

• Do not use discs on which the sticky part of cellophane tape or labels
is exposed or on which there are traces of where labels have been
removed. Such discs can get caught inside the player and damage
it.

• Do not get fingerprints, oil or dirt on discs.

• Take special care not to scratch discs when removing them from

their cases.

• Do not bend or heat discs.

• Do not enlarge the hole at the center.

• Do not write on the labeled (printed) surface with ball-point pens,

pencils, etc., or stick new labels on discs.

• Water droplets may form on discs if they are moved suddenly from a
cold place (outdoors for example) to a warm place, but do not try to
dry them off using a hairdryer, etc.

Cautions on Storing Discs

• Be sure to remove discs after using them.

• Be sure to store discs in their cases to protect them from dust,

scratches, warping, etc.

• Do not store discs in the following places:

1. Places exposed to direct sunlight for long periods of time

2. Dusty or humid places

3. Places exposed to heat from heating appliances, etc.

Cleaning Discs

• If there are fingerprints or dirt on discs, wipe them off before using

the disc. Fingerprints and dirt can impair sound quality and cause
interruptions in playback.

• Use a commercially available disc cleaning set or a soft cloth to clean
discs.

Connections Setup Playback Information Troubleshooting

Gently wipe the disc from the
inside towards the outside.

Do not wipe with a circular
motion.

NOTE

Do not use record spray, antistatic agents, or benzene, thinner or other
solvents.

• To prevent damage or leakage of battery fluid:

• Do not use a new battery together with an old one.

• Do not use two different types of batteries.

• Do not attempt to charge dry batteries.

• Do not short-circuit, disassemble, heat or dispose of batteries in

flames.

• If the battery fluid should leak, carefully wipe the fluid off the inside
of the battery compartment and insert new batteries.
