Read this before operation
<Place the unit in a stable location near the audio system that you will use.
<Be careful to avoid injury when moving the unit due to its weight. Get someone to help you if necessary.
<As the unit may become warm during operation, always leave sufficient space around the unit for ventilation. Make sure there is at least 20 cm (8”) of space above and at least 5 cm (2”) of space on each side of the unit. Do NOT place anything such as a CD, CD-R, LP, cassette tape etc. on top of the unit.
<The voltage supplied to the unit should match the voltage as printed on the rear panel. If you are in any doubt regarding this matter, consult an electrician.
<Choose the installation location of your unit carefully. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight or close to a source of heat. Also avoid locations subject to vibrations and excessive dust, heat, cold or moisture.
<Do not open the cabinet as this will void your factory warranty and might result in damage to the circuitry or electrical shock. If a foreign object should get into the unit, contact your dealer or service company.
<When removing the power plug from the wall outlet, always pull directly on the plug, never yank on the cord.
<Keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.
Do Not Move the Unit During Playback
During playback, the disc rotates at high speed. Do NOT lift or move the unit during playback. Doing so may damage the disc or the unit.
When Moving This Unit
When changing places of installation or packing the unit for moving, be sure to remove the disc and return the disc tray to its closed position in the player. Then, press the power switch to turn the power off and disconnect the power cord. Moving this unit with the disc loaded may result in damage to this unit.
Placement of the unit
High-quality hardened tool steel is used for the pin-point feet, securely attached to the bottom of the unit. Although the outer feet may appear loose, the weight of the unit causes them to become firm and secure. The design effectively damps and reduces vibration.
<To protect the supporting furniture surface, you may stick the felt pads supplied with the unit to the bottom of the metal feet.

About CD-R/CD-RW
CD-R/RW discs recorded in the Audio CD format and finalized correctly are playable. Depending on the quality of the disc and/or the condition of the recording, some CD-R and CD-RW discs may not be playable.
<If you record a disc using a personal computer, even if it is recorded in a compatible format, there are cases in which it may not play because of the settings of the application software used to create the disc. (Check with the software publisher for more detailed information.)
<Unfinalized CD-R/CD-RW discs cannot be played.
The following discs cannot be played with this unit:
r %7% 7JEFP $% $% ( %BUB QBSU PG $% &953" 1)050 $% $% 30. and DVD-ROM discs

WARNING:
If you attempt to play back such discs, there is a risk that a sudden loud noise may be heard over the speakers at full volume and cause damage to the speakers and possibly to your hearing.
Copy-protected discs, DualDiscs and other discs that do not conform to the CD standard may not play back correctly in this player. If you use such discs in this unit, ESOTERIC COMPANY cannot be responsible for any consequences or guarantee the quality of reproduction. If you experience problems with such non-standard discs, you should contact the producers of the disc.
CAUTION:
<Do not play any disc that is warped, deformed or damaged. Playing such discs may cause irreparable harm to the playback mechanisms.
<Printable CD-R and CD-RW discs are not recommended, as the label side might be sticky and damage the unit. This also includes PC produced discs where a stick on label has been used.
<Do not stick papers, stability pads or protective sheets on the discs and do not use any protective coating spray.
<Use a soft oil-based felt-tipped pen to write the information on the label side. Never use a ball-point or hard-tipped pen, as this may cause damage to the recorded side.
<Never use a stabilizer. Using commercially available CD stabilizers with this unit will damage the mechanisms and cause them to malfunction.
<Do not use irregular shape discs (octagonal, heart shaped, business card size, etc.). CDs of this sort can damage the unit.
Handling precautions
<Always place the disc on the disc tray with the label side uppermost. Compact discs can be played or recorded only on one side.
<To remove a disc from its storage case, press down on the center of the case and lift the disc out, holding it carefully by the edges.
How to remove the disc |
How to hold the disc |
Maintenance
<If the disc becomes dirty, wipe the surface radially from the center hole outward towards the outer edge with a soft and dry cloth.
<Never use such chemicals as record sprays, antistatic sprays or fluid, benzine or thinner to clean the discs. Such chemicals will do irreparable damage to the disc’s plastic surface.
Storage precautions
<Discs should be returned to their cases after use to avoid dust and scratches that could cause the laser pickup to “skip.”
<Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or high-temperature and humidity for extended periods. Long exposure to high temperatures will warp the disc.
<CD-R and CD-RW discs are more sensitive to the effects of heat and ultraviolet rays than ordinary CDs. It is important that they are not stored in a location where direct sunlight will fall on them, and away from sources of heat such as radiators or heatgenerating electrical devices.
If you are in any doubt as to the care and handling of a CD-R or CD-RW disc, read the precautions supplied with the disc, or contact the disc manufacturer.

<The DIGITAL OUT terminals cannot output digital audio from Super Audio CDs.
<When inserting the plug of the optical cable, the protective shutter of the terminal will open and you should hear it click into position when fully inserted. Be careful that you do not force the plug, because this could result in damage to the protective shutter, the cable, or the unit itself.
<Digital output can be set to on or off (page 22).
B Digital audio input terminals
Inputs digital audio. Connect to the digital output terminals of digital devices.
Use commercially available cables.
