REMOVING

SHIPPING

SCREWS

Two

shipping

screws

have

been set at the factory before

shipping. Be

sure to remove them

as shown below. Keep these

screws because

they will be required when

the unit is transported

Use a screwdriver

to

remove

these screws.

GAUTION:

Operating

the unit before removing these

shipping screuvs may dam-

age the

unat.

DISCS

Note how

the surface

of

discs

gleam

with

all the colors of the rainbow.

This

is because

of

light

diffraction caused by the discs' micron-size

tracks. The

FD3040

Compact Disc Player uses a beam

of

laser light

to

read

audio information from these tracks;

thus, the discs are never

subjected to

stylus wear as is the case with conventional record

players.

.

Handle discs

carefully to avoid scratching their

surface.

o

Keep

the surface

of

discs clean.

This is important,

because there may be as many as 15 billion bits

of

information

recorded on their surface

and excessive dust can result

in

intermittent interruption

of sound. Remove

ordinary dust and

fingerprints

by breathing on the disc

and

wiping it

gently

with

a

clean cotton

[andkerchief

or

gauze.

.

To maintain

the

quality

of

your

discs,

avoid

placing

them in loca-

tions such as the following.

.

Locations which

are exposed to

direct

sunlight or

heat

(such

as

radiators)

.

Locations

with high concentrations

of

dust or humidity

.

Places which may

be exposed to

water,

such as

near

windows

.

Place

your

discs in

their

protective

Gases when they are not

in

use.
