Precautions
Installation
• Install in a place which is level, dry and neither too hot nor too cold—between 5°C and 35°C (41°F and 95°F).
• Install the System in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent internal heat buildup inside the System.
DO NOT install the System in a location near heat sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust or vibration.
• Leave sufficient distance between the System and the TV.
• Keep the speakers away from the TV to avoid interference with TV.
Power sources
• When unplugging the System from the wall outlet, always pull on the plug, not the AC power cord.
DO NOT handle the AC power cord with wet hands.
Moisture condensation
Moisture may condense on the lenses inside the System in the following cases:
• After starting to heat the room
• In a damp room
• If the System is brought directly from a cold to a warm place.
Should this occur, the System may malfunction. In this case, leave the System turned on for a few hours until the moisture evaporates, unplug the AC power cord, then plug it in again.
Internal heat
A cooling fan is mounted on the rear panel to prevent heat buildup inside the main unit (see page G-1).
For safety, observe the following carefully:
• Make sure there is good ventilation around the main unit. Poor ventilation could overheat and damage the System.
• DO NOT block the cooling fan and the ventilation openings or holes. If they are blocked by a newspaper or cloth, etc., the heat may not be able to get out.
Others
• Should any metallic object or liquid fall into the System, unplug the AC power cord and consult your dealer before operating any further.
DO NOT disassemble the System since there are no user serviceable parts inside.
• If you are not going to operate the System for an extended period of time, unplug the AC power cord from the wall outlet.
If anything goes wrong, unplug the AC power cord and consult your dealer.

How Daily Timer actually works
Once the Daily Timer has been set, the timer ( ) indicator and timer number indicator (1/2/3) are lit on the display. Daily Timer is activated at the same time everyday until the timer is turned off manually (see the next column) or another timer is activated.
When the on-time comes
The System turns on, tunes in to the specified station or start playing the loaded disc with the specified track, and sets the volume level to the preset level.
• You cannot start the specified title/chapter/track of DVD-Video/SVCD/VCD, though you can select it at the timer setting. DVD-Video/SVCD/VCD starts playback from the beginning.
• While Daily Timer is working, the timer ( ) indicator and timer number indicator (1/2/3) flash on the display.
When the off-time comes
The System stops playback, and turns off (on standby) automatically.
• The timer setting remains in memory until you change it.
To turn off the Timer after its setting is done
Since Daily Timer is activated at the same time everyday, you may need to cancel it on some particular days.
