5. Power
WARNING
BEFORE PLUGGING IN THE UNIT FOR THE FIRST TIME,
READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY.
•The voltage of the available power supply differs according to
country or region. Be sure that the power supply voltage of the
area where this unit will be used meets the required voltage (e.g.,
AC230V 50Hz or AC120V 60Hz) written on the rear panel.
•Models Equipped with a Voltage Selector
Worldwide models are equipped with a voltage selector to
conform to local power supplies. Be sure to set this switch to
match the voltage of the power supply in your area before
plugging in the unit.
6. Do not touch this unit with wet hands
Do not handle this unit or powr cord when your hands are wet or
damp. If water or any other liquid enters the case, take this unit to an
authorized service center for inspection.
7. Location of this unit
• Do not expose this unit to direct sunlight or heating units as this
unit’s internal temperature may rise and shorten the life of the
pickup.
• Avoid damp and dusty places and places directly affected by
vibrations from the speakers. In particular, avoid placing the unit
on or above one of the speakers.
• Be sure this unit is placed in a horizontal position.
Never place it on its side or on a slanted surface as it may
malfunction.
• Do not place near tuners or TV sets.
If placed next to a TV or tuner, it may cause reception interference resulting in some noise in the TV or tuner output.
8. Points to remember
• If this unit is brought from a cold environment to a warm one or
is in a cold room that is quickly heated, condensation may form
on the pickup, preventing proper operation. In this case, remove
the disc and leave the power ON for about one hour to remove
the condensation.
• Always close the disc tray when not loading or unloading discs
to protect delicate internal parts from dust.
• When transporting this unit, be careful not to bump it.
Memory Preservation
This unit does not require memory preservation batteries. A builtin memory power back-up system preserves the contents of the
memory during power failures and even when the unit is unplugged. The unit must be plugged in and the power switch turned
on and off once in order to charge the back-up system. Note that
since this is not a permanent memory, the power switch must be
turned on and off a few times each month to keep the back-up
system operative. The memory preservation period after power
has been turned off varies depending on climate and placement
of the unit. On the average, memory contents are protected over
a period of a few weeks after the last time power has been turned
off. This period is shorter when the unit is exposed to a highly
humid climate.
