Before Using This Product

Install this product in the following type of place.

Place that is flat and stable

Place with the following temperature and humidity range

•When using this product in a place where static electricity is easily generated, use an antistatic mat or other product to prevent static electricity.

•Do not install on a surface that is smaller than the base of the product.

If the rubber bases on the bottom of the product extend beyond this surface, it places stress on the internal mechanisms, which negatively affects disc writing, printing and transporting. Be sure to install on a flat surface that is wider than the product so that all of the feet on the base of the product rest firmly on it.

Do not block the air vents on this product.

Blocking the air vents may result in internal heat build-up and fire.

WARNING Do not install in the following types of places.

•Tight spaces where ventilation is poor, such as in a closet or on a bookshelf

•On a rug or bed

If you place the product by a wall, leave more than 10 cm between the back of the product and the wall. It is also necessary to leave enough space in front of the product to open and close the disc cover.

Do not install in a place where volatile substances, such as alcohol or paint thinner, are present or in a place where there is fire.

This may result in electric shock or fire.

Do not install or store in an unstable place (such as on a wobbly or tilted surface), in reach of children, or in a place subject to vibration from other

CAUTION machines.

There is a risk that it could drop or fall over, resulting in injury.

Do not install in places where there is excessive moisture or dust, risk of getting wet, direct sunlight, severe changes in temperature and humidity, or close to heating and cooling devices.

There is a risk of electric shock, fire, and malfunction or failure of this product.

Before Using This Product

Cautions for the power source

Do not connect or disconnect the power plug with wet hands.

This may result in electric shock.

WARNING

Use only the type of power source indicated on the product’s label.

Use of the wrong type of power source may result in electric shock or fire.

Do not plug the power cord into an outlet with many other cords connected to it.

This may result in heat build-up and fire.

Do not use a damaged power cord.

This may result in electric shock or fire.

If the power cord is damaged, consult your dealer for repairs.

Observe the following when handling the power cord.

•Do not modify the power cord

•Do not place heavy objects on the power cord

•Do not bend, twist or pull the power cord by force

•Firmly insert the prongs of the power plug all the way

When you disconnect the power plug from the outlet, be sure to turn off the power and hold the plug as you pull.

If you stretch the power cord, it may become damaged, which could result in electric shock or fire.

Be sure your AC power cord meets the relevant local safety standard. Also, do not use the power cord included with this product with any other devices.

This may result in electric shock or fire.

For safety reasons, be sure to ground the power cord.

The power code included with the product is a 3-pin cable with a power system grounding (PE) terminal, so connect it to an outlet with a grounding electrode and ground it securely.

Regularly disconnect the power plug from the outlet and clean the base of the prongs and between the prongs.

If you leave the power plug connected to an outlet for a long time, the base of the power plug prongs may become dusty, which may result in short circuit and fire.

For safety, be sure to disconnect the power plug from the outlet when you will not be using the product for a long time.
