THE EXCLAMATION POINT WITHIN AN EQUILATERAL TRIANGLE IS INTENDED TO ALERT
THE USER TO THE PRESENCE OF IMPORTANT OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE (SER
VICING) INSTRUCTIONS IN THE LITERATURE ACCOMPANYING THE APPLIANCE,
Acaytlom ; Bead this page carefuHy to keep your safety.
Please read all of the safety and operating instructions
before operating this unit. For best results, follow all
warnings placed on the unit and adhere to the operat
ing and use instructions. These safety and operating in
structions should be retained for future reference,
1. Power sources — The unit should be connected
to a power supply only of the type described in the
operating instructions or as marked on the appliance.
2. Power-cord protection Power-supply cords
should be routed so that they are not likely to be
walked on or pinched by items placed upon or
against them, pay particular attention to cords at
plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where
they exit from the unit.
Never puil or stretch
the cord.
3, Grounding or polarization — The precautions
should be taken so that the grounding or polarisa
tion means of this unit is not defeated,
6. Temperature — The unit may not function pro
perly if used at extremely low, or freezing tempera
tures. The ideal ambient temperature is above 4(41^F).
7. Heat ~ The unit should be situated away from
heat sources such as radiators, heat registers,
stoves, or other units (including amplifiers) that
produce heat.
8. Electric shock — Care should be taken so that ob
jects do not fall and liquid is not spilled into the en
closure through openings. If a metal object, such as
a hair pin or a needle, comes into contact with the
inside of this unit, a dangerous electric shock may
result. For families with children, never permit chil
dren to put anything, especially metal, inside this
4. Ventilation — The unit should be situated so that
its location or position does not interfere with its
proper ventilation.
To maintain good ventilation, do not put records or
a table-cloth on the unit. Place the unit at least
10 cm away from the wails.
Do not use the unit on a bed, sofa, rug or similar
surface that may block the ventilation openings.
5. Water and moisture The unit should not be
used near water — for example, near a bathtub,
washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet base
ment, or near a swimming pool, etc.
9. Enclosure removal ■— Never remove the en
closure. If the internal parts are touched accidentally,
a serious electric shock might occur.
10. AC outlets — Do not connect other audio equip
ment with a power consumption larger than that
specified to the AC outlet on the rear panel. Never
connect other electrical units,' such as an iron or
toaster, to it to prevent fire or electric shock.
ACautîon : Read this page carefully to keep your safety.
11. Magnetic fields — Keep the unit away from
sources of magnetic fields such as TV sets, speaker
systems, radios, motorized toys or magnetized
objects.
12. Cleaning — Do not use volatile solvents such as
alcohol, paint thinner, gasoline, or benzine, etc. to
clean the cabinet. Use a clean dry cloth.
13. Carts and stands An appliance and cart com
bination should be moved with care. Quick stops,
excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the
appliance and cart combination to overturn.
17, Servicing The user should not attempt to ser
vice the unit beyond that described in the operating
instructions. All other servicing should be referred
to qualified service personnel.
18. Outdoor antenna grounding ~ If an outside an
tenna is connected to the receiver, be sure the an
tenna system is grounded so as to provide some
protection against voltage surges and built up static
charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/ NFPA No. 70—1984, provides information
with respect to proper grounding of the mast and
supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire
to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding con
ductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connec
tion to grounding electrodes, and requirements for
the grounding electrode. See Figure,
POWÇB (.EN6S
14. Nonuse periods The power cord of the unit
should be unplugged from the outlet when left un
used for a long period of time,
15. Abnormal smell If an abnormal smell or smoke
is detected, immediately turn the power OFF and pull
out the power cord. Contact your dealer or nearest
service center. POWER OFF!
10. Damage requiring service The unit should be
serviced by qualified service personnel when:
A. The power-supply cord or the plug has been
damaged; or
B. Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled into
the unit; or
C. The unit has been exposed to rain; or
D. The unit does not appear to operate normally or
. exhibits a marked change in performance; or
E. The unit has been dropped, or the enclosure

19. Power lines — An outdoor antenna should be lo
cated away from power lines.
Notes:
1. item 3 is not required except for grounded or polarized
equipment.
2. Item 10 is not required except for units provided with AC outlets.
3. item 18 and 19 are not required except for units provided with

4. Item 18 complies with Ut-1270 in the U.S.A.
Before operation
Removal of packing materials (protec
tive material) for transportation
Packing material
The packing material shown in the diagram has been
placed in the unit to protect it during tarnsprotation.
Remove the packing material before using. Do not throw
it away but keep for later use.'
When this unit is being transported, be certain to remove
the magazine from the unit and insert the original packing
material again.
Beware of condensation
Water vapor in the air may condense on cold parts, forming
"dew" on its surface.
For example, when a bottle is taken out of the refrigerator
and brought into a warm room, droplets of water will form
on the bottle surface. This phenomenon is called "conden
sation". If this occurs inside the unit the player may operate
incorrectly or may not function at ail.
This is not a malfunction, however, the player should be
left until it is dry, (Turn the power of this unit ON and leave
the playerfor a while. After several hours, even in the worst
case, the player will stabilize and correct playback will be
possible.) Be especially careful in the following cases:
e When the unit Is suddenly brought from a cold place to
a warm place (causing rapid temperature change).
« When the temperature of the room is raised suddenly
using a heater, etc.
« When the unit is brought from a well-cooled (aircondi-
tioned) room to a damp and hot room.
® In conditions where the temperature difference be
tween the surroundings and this unit might cause
condensation.
System connections
Do not insert the power piug into the socket untii all connections are completed.
Connect the output terminals of this unit to the amplifier or receiver input terminals {CD, AUX etc.} by the supplied audio
cord.
