Before Use

1. Choose unit installation location carefully. Avoi d placi ng it in di rect su nligh t or close to a source of heat. Also avoid locations subject to vibrations and excessive du st, col d or moisture. Keep away from sources that hum, such as transformers or motors.

2. Do not open the cabinet as this might result in damage to the circuitry or electrical sh ock, if a foreign object should get into the set, contact your dealer.

3. Be sure not to handle discs with dirty fingers. Never insert a disc that has a crack on the surface.

4. When removing the power plug from the wall outlet, always pull direc tly on th e plug, n ever pull the cord.

5. To keep th e laser p ickup c lean, d o not tou ch it, an d do not fo rget to c lose th e disc tr ay.

6. Do not attempt to clean the unit with chemical solvents as this might damage the finish. Use a clean, dry cloth.

7. In ord er to shut off the p ower to t his pro duct co mplet ely, unplug t he powe r cord fr om the wall outlet. Be sure to unplug the unit if you do not intend to use it for an extended period of time, such as a vacation.

8. Keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.

Beware of Condensation

When the player (or a compact disc) is moved from a cold to a warm place or is used after a sudden temperature change, there is a danger of condensation. Wate r vapou r in the ai r

could condense on the mechanism or the laser pickup. If droplets of water form on these parts, correct playback will be impossible because the laser cann ot read t he info rmati on from th e disc correctly. To pre vent th is, if yo u are goi ng to use t he play er in a con ditio n where

condensation could occur, you should leave the playe r for 1 or 2 ho urs aft er plug ging it i nto an AC outlet depending on the amount of condensation. If this is done, the player w ill stabilize at the temperature of its surroundings.

Handling Records

Do not touch the record’s groo ves. Wi th clea n hands , only ha ndle re cords b y their e dges or label. Dirty hands can leave residue on the record surface and make th e surfa ce deteriorate.

Use a sof t anti- static cloth to gently wipe the record surface when the record has become

dirty. Keep re cords in their sleeve when not in use. Store r ecords vertically on a shelf or record storage cabinet. Never lay records flat as thi s

may cause them curved. Avoid pl acing i t in dire ct sunl ight or c lose to a s ource o f heat su ch as rad iator s, stov es.

Also avoid locations subject to vibration and excessive dust, heat, cold o r moist ure.

CD Discs

Always place the disc on the disc tray with the label side uppermost(compact di scs can

be played or recorded only on one side) To move a dis c from it s stora ge case , press d own on th e cente r of the ca se and li ft the

disc out, holding it carefully by the edges.

Should t re

he disc become dirty, wipe the s urfac e from th e cent hole outward towards the outer edge with a soft, dry cloth.

Never u se such chemicals as record spray, ant istat ic spra ys or flu id, ben zine or t hinne r

to clean the discs. Such chemicals will do irreparable damage to the di sc's pl astic

surface. Discs s hould be returned to their cases after use to avoid dust and scratches that could

cause the laser pick up skip. Do not ex pose discs to direct sunlight or high humidity and temperature for extende d

periods. Long exposure to high temperatures will warp the disc. Use a sof t oil-based felt-tipped pen to write the information on the label side. Neve r use a

ball-point or hard-tipped pen, as this may cause damage to the record ed side . Do not us e CDs with an irregular shape(octagonal, heart shaped, business c ard siz e,

etc).CDs of this sort can damage the unit:

Recording To CD

About C D-R and CD-RW di scs

CD-R discs can be recorded once only. On ce they h ave bee n used fo r recod ing, th ey cann ot be erased or re-recorded. However, if space is available on the d isc (an d the dis c has not been finalized), additional material can be recorded.

By contrast, a CD-RW di sc can be u sed in mu ch the sa me way as a C D-R dis c, but th e last track or tracks recorded can be erased, and the space on the disc can be re-used for other recordings.

However, you should note that an audio CD created using a CD-RW d isc may n ot play b ack satisfactorily on every audio CD-player. CD-R, by contrast, may be played satisfactorily on the majority of audio CD players .

Audio f rom the P HONO, TAPE, AUX sources can be recorded on the CD recorder.
