Main features

Toroidal transformer

This unit features a toroidal transformer that produces less
vibration and magnetic leakage fl ux compared to conventional
power transformers. The materials and manufacturing process
of the ring-shaped core are strictly controlled to reduce vibration,
while the short-ring attached to the perimeter of the transformer
reduce magnetic leakage fl ux.

Large-capacitance block capacitor

A large capacitance 3300 µF capacitor carefully selected for its
acoustic characteristics is incorporated into the power supply
circuit.

Cautions on handling

• Before turning the power switch on

Check once again that all connections are correct and that there are
no problems with the connection cables.

• When leaving home for long periods of time, be sure to unplug the
power cord from the power outlet.

• Proper ventilation
If the unit is left in a room full of the smoke from cigarettes, etc., for
long periods of time, the surface of the optical pickup may get dirty,
preventing it from receiving the signals properly.

• About condensation
If there is a major difference in temperature between the inside of
the unit and its surroundings, condensation may form on parts inside
the unit, causing the unit to fail to operate properly.
If this happens, let the unit sit for an hour or two with the power off
and wait until there is little difference in temperature before using
the unit.

• Cautions on using mobile phones
Using a mobile phone near this unit may result in noise. If that
occurs, move the mobile phone away from the unit when it is in use.

• Moving the unit
Turn off the power and unplug the power cord from the power outlet.
Next, disconnect the cables connected to other system units before
moving the unit.

Discs

Discs playable on this unit

q Super Audio CDs

Super Audio CDs with the following logos indicated below can be
played on this unit.

w Music CDs

Discs marked with the logo at right can be played in
this unit.

e CD-R/CD-RW

NOTE

• Discs in special shapes (heart­shaped discs, octagonal discs,
etc.) cannot be played. Do not
attempt to play them, as doing
so can damage the unit.

• Some discs and some recording formats cannot be played.

• Non-finalized discs cannot be played.

b What is finalization?

Finalization is the process that makes recorded CD-R/CD-RW discs
playable on compatible players.

Holding discs

Do not touch the signal surface.

Loading discs

• Place the disc in the tray, label side up.

• Make sure the disc tray is fully open when inserting the disc.

• Place the discs flat, 12 cm discs in the outer tray guide (Figure 1), 8
cm discs in the inner tray guide (Figure 2).

Outer tray guide Inner tray guide

12 cm disc 8 cm disc

• Place 8 cm discs in the inner tray guide without using an adapter.

NOTE

• If you place a DVD or other disc that cannot be played by this unit in
the disc tray, the tray does not open/close for about 1 minute. When
that happens, press 5 after “Error” is displayed.

• If you place a disc that contains other than MP3 or WMA files, “No
File” is displayed.

Cautions on loading discs

• Only load one disc at a time. Loading two or more discs can damage
the unit or scratch the discs.

• Do not use cracked or warped discs or discs that have been repaired
with adhesive, etc.

• Do not use discs on which the sticky part of cellophane tape or labels
is exposed or on which there are traces of where labels have been
removed. Such discs can get caught inside the player and damage it.

Discs

Cautions on handling

• Do not get fingerprints, oil or dirt on discs.

• Take special care not to scratch discs when removing them from
their cases.

• Do not bend or heat discs.

• Do not enlarge the hole in the center.

• Do not write on the labeled (printed) surface with ball-point pens,
pencils, etc., or stick new labels on discs.

• Water droplets may form on discs if they are moved suddenly from
a cold place (outdoors for example) to a warm place, but do not try to
dry them off using a hairdryer, etc.

Cautions on storing discs

• Be sure to remove discs after using them.

• Be sure to store discs in their cases to protect them from dust,
scratches, warping, etc.

• Do not store discs in the following places:

1. Places exposed to direct sunlight for long periods of time

2. Dusty or humid places

3. Places exposed to heat from heaters, etc.

Cleaning discs

• If there are fingerprints or dirt on a disc, wipe them off before using
the disc. Fingerprints and dirt can impair sound quality and cause
interruptions in playback.

• Use a commercially available disc cleaning set or a soft cloth to clean
discs.

Gently wipe the disc from the
inside towards the outside.

Do not wipe in a circular motion.
