the disc may be damaged.
When moving this unit
You must remove the disc and close the disc tray when mov-
ing this unit. Then, press the OPERATION switch, and after
"-STANDBY-" disappears from the display, unplug the power
cord from the AC outlet. If the unit is moved with a disc re-
maining inside, it can cause a malfunction.
Installation place
• Choose a stable place near the stereo system that is to be
used in combination with this unit.
• Do not install this unit near a television or color monitor.
Keep this unit away from such devices as cassette decks
that are subject to magnetism.
• Install this unit onto a level place when possible.
Avoid the following locations for
installation.
• Locations exposed to direct sunlight
• Places subject to humidity and with limited ventilation
• Places where are extremely hot or cold
• Places subject to strong vibration
• Places subject to dust
• Places subject to oil, steam, and heat (such as kitchens)
Do not put articles.
Do not put any articles on this unit.
Batteries
Caution:
Batteries used for the remote control shall not be exposed to
excessive heat such as sunshine, fire or the like.
To avoid heat emission
Do not place this unit on such device as an amplifier that
emits heat. If the unit is installed on a rack, install the unit
below the rack where the amplifier is installed so as to avoid
heat emission from the amplifier and other audio devices.
Notice when this unit is installed in a rack
with glass doors
While the glass doors are closed, do not open the disc tray
by pressing the open/close (u) button of the remote control.
Disc tray performance will be blocked, which may result in a
malfunction.
Power off this unit when it is not used.
Depending on the condition of radio waves emitted during
television broadcasting, interference fringes may appear on
the television monitor, but that is not a malfunction. In such
a case, power off the unit. There may also be a case where
noises are heard on the radio due to radio wave interference.
Dew condensation
In winter, be careful when carrying this unit from a cold place
to a warm place or if the room temperature is suddenly raised
by a heater or the like. The unit interior (operating blocks and
lens) will have dew condensation on it. In such a condition,
this unit cannot work properly and playback is impossible.
Depending on the condition of dew condensation, if you leave
the unit alone for one to two hours after turning it on in room
temperature, the condensation becomes dry and playback
will be possible.
Even in summer, dew condensation may occur if this unit is
directly exposed to cool air from an air conditioner. In such a
case, the installation place should be changed.

How to handle discs
• Do not use any deficient disc (with cracks, warp, etc.).
• Do not damage the signal surface of the disc or grime it.
• Do not place paper or a sticker on the disc. This can warp
the disc and playback may become impossible. In many
cases, rental discs carry labels and paste may protrude
from under the label. Before use, check that the disc is free
from protruding paste or the like.
• Do not play two discs at the same time.
How to store discs
• Always put your discs in cases, and store them vertically.
Conditions such as high temperature, high humidity, expo-
sure to direct sunlight, extremely low temperature are not
suitable for storing discs.
• Read the caution notes carefully that are attached to discs.
Disc cleaning
• If a disc is dirty from fingerprints or dust, the sound quality
may be deteriorated. Lightly wipe the disc with soft cloth,
from the inside to outer periphery. (Refrain from wiping it
along the circumference.)
• Do not use a volatile chemical such as benzine or thinner.
Record spray, anti-static agents, and other such materials
cannot be used either.
• When the disc seems to be very dirty, dip soft cloth in water,
wring it well, and remove contaminants. Then, remove the
moisture with dry cloth.
Odd-shaped disc
This unit cannot play back discs in specific shapes (heart-
shaped, hexagonal, etc.). Do not use such discs as that may
cause malfunctions.
Lens cleaning
If the lens is dusty, sound skips may occur. Please ask your
dealer for cleaning the lens. Do not use any cleaning sub-
stance for discs available on the market because they may
hurt the lens.
Notice in handling optical digital cables
• Do not fold the cables at an acute angle. When storing ca-
bles, wind each cable to make a coil whose diameter is
approx.15 cm or larger.
• For connection, insert the cable connectors firmly into the
terminals of this unit and the other device.
• Use the cables whose each length is 3 m or less.
• When the cable connectors are dusty, wipe the dust away-
with a dry soft cloth before inserting into the terminals.
Cleaning
• Usually, wipe the unit with a dry soft cloth. When the dirt
is hard to remove, dip soft cloth in detergent diluted 5 or 6
times with water, wring it well, and remove contaminants.
Then, remove the moisture with dry cloth.
• Do not use a solvent like alcohol, benzine, thinner, or pesti-
cide because such a substance may damage the exterior.
In addition, do not let this unit contact a rubber or plastic
form for a long time. That may damage the cabinet surface
of the unit.
• When using a chemical cloth for cleaning, read the caution
attached with the chemical cloth product.
• Before cleaning, unplug the power cord from the AC outlet.

The coaxial and optical inputs support the following signals.
Sampling frequency : 32kHz, 44.1kHz, 48kHz,
88.2kHz, 96kHz, 176.4kHz,
192kHz
Number of quantization bits : 16bit, 20bit, 24bit
The USB input supports to the following signals.
• PCM signal
Sampling frequency : 32kHz, 44.1kHz, 48kHz,
88.2kHz, 96kHz, 176.4kHz,
192kHz
Number of quantization bits : 16bit, 24bit, 32bit
• DSD signal
Sampling frequency : 2.8224MHz, 5.6448MHz
Number of quantization bits : 1bit
When the OS is Windows, the dedicated driver software
needs to be installed.
Read the software installation manual provided with this
unit.
2. The selected input type and sampling
status are displayed on the main unit
display window.
This sampling frequency and bit count of the digital signal
are displayed, which is connected to the input terminal
(COAX/OPT/USB) selected with the digital input selection
switch. When one of COAX/OPTICAL/USB is selected by
the digital input selection switch and the digital signal from
each digital device and this unit are synchronized, the sam-
pling frequency and bit count of the digital signal are dis-
played.
When a digital signal input is not provided or the signal is not
synchronized even if the signal input is provided, "UNLOCK"
is displayed.
When USB is selected, only the sampling frequency is dis-
played. The bit count is not displayed.
• The bit count (word length) indicates the contents of the
word length data included in the channel status which is
specified in IEC60958-3 (digital audio interface - Part 3:
consumer applications).
Some output devices may provide channel status data
(word length data) whose content is different from the actu-
al word length. In such a case, the contents of the channel
status data are indicated on the display instead of the actu-
al bit count.
Alternatively, some devices or sources may provide the
data that states "the word length is not specified". In such
a case, the bit count is not displayed.
• There may be a case where the display indicates "LOCK"
shortly, and then "UNLOCK". (The reverse case is also pos-
sible.) That is because the former state (LOCK/UNLOCK) is
indicated for approx. 0.5 seconds since an input signal is
changed until the circuit gets stable.
