This unit contains a semiconductor laser system and is classified
as a “CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT”. So, to use this model prop­erly, read this Instruction Manual carefully. In case of any trou­ble, please contact the store where you purchased the unit. To
prevent being exposed to the laser beam, do not try to open the
enclosure.

DANGER:

INVISIBLE LASER RADIATION WHEN OPEN AND INTER­LOCK FAILED OR DEFEATED. AVOID DIRECT EXPOSURE
TO BEAM.

CAUTION:

THIS PRODUCT UTILIZES A LASER. USE OF CONTROLS
OR ADJUSTMENTS OR PERFORMANCE OF PROCEDURES
OTHER THAN THOSE SPECIFIED HEREIN MAY RESULT
IN HAZARDOUS RADIATION EXPOSURE.

“CLASS 1 LASER

PRODUCT ”

This label on the rear panel states that:

1. This unit is a CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT and employs a
laser inside the cabinet.

2. To prevent the laser from being exposed, do not remove the
cover. Refer servicing to qualified personnel.

Precautions

1. Warranty Claim

You can find the serial number on the rear panel of this unit. In case
of warranty claim, please report this number.

2. Recording Copyright

Recording of copyrighted material for other than personal use is
illegal without permission of the copyright holder.

3. 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., AC
230–240 V, 50 Hz) written on the rear panel.

4. Do not touch this unit with wet hands

Do not handle this unit or power 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.

5. Location of this unit

Place this unit in a well-ventilated location.
Take special care to provide plenty of ventilation on all sides of this
unit especially when it is placed in an audio rack. If ventilation is
blocked, this unit may overheat and malfunction.

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.

6. Care

From time to time you should wipe the front and rear panels and the
cabinet with a soft cloth. For heavier dirt, dampen a soft cloth in a
weak solution of mild detergent and water, wring it out dry, and
wipe off the dirt. Following this, dry immediately with a clean cloth.

Do not use rough material, thinners, alcohol or other chemical sol­vents or cloths since these could damage the finish or remove the
panel lettering.

7. 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.

When transporting this unit, be careful not to bump it.

For British model

Replacement and mounting of an AC plug on the power supply cord
of this unit should be performed only by qualified service personnel.

IMPORTANT

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the
following code:

Blue : Neutral

Brown : Live
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this apparatus may
not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the termi­nals in your plug, proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal
which is marked with the letter N or coloured black.
The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the termi­nal which is marked with the letter L or coloured red.

IMPORTANT

A 5 ampere fuse is fitted in this plug. Should the fuse need to be
replaced, please ensure that the replacement fuse has a rating of 5
amperes and that it is approved by ASTA or BSI to BS1362. Check
for the ASTA mark or the BSI mark on the body of the fuse.
IF THE FITTED MOULDED PLUG IS UNSUITABLE FOR THE
SOCKET OUTLET IN YOUR HOME, THEN THE FUSE
SHOULD BE REMOVED AND THE PLUG CUT OFF AND DIS­POSED OF SAFELY. THERE IS A DANGER OF SEVERE
ELECTRICAL SHOCK IF THE CUT OFF PLUG IS INSERTED
INTO ANY 13 AMPERE SOCKET.
If in any doubt, please consult a qualified electrician.

the illustration.

2. Insert two AA (R6- or UM-3)-size batteries into the battery compart­ment. Carefully follow the polarity diagram (positive (+) and nega­tive (–) symbols) inside the battery compartment.

3. After batteries are installed and seated correctly, replace the com­partment cover.

Notes

•

Do not mix new batteries with old batteries or different kinds of
batteries.

•

To avoid corrosion, remove the batteries if the remote controller
is not to be used for a long time.

•

Remove dead batteries immediately to avoid damage from cor­rosion. If the remote controller doesn’t operate smoothly,
replace both the batteries at the same time.

•

The life of the batteries supplied is about six months but this
will vary depending on usage.

Point the remote controller toward the remote control sensor.

Notes

•

Place the unit away from strong light such as direct sunlight or
inverted fluorescent light which can prevent proper operation of the
remote controller.
Using another remote controller of the same type in the same

•

room or using the unit near equipment which uses infrared rays
may cause operational interference.
Do not put any object such as a book on the remote controller.

•

The buttons of the remote controller may be pressed by mistake
and drain the batteries.

•

Make sure the audio rack doors do not have colored glass. Plac­ing the unit behind such doors may prevent proper remote con­troller operation.
If there is any obstacle between the remote controller and the

•

remote control sensor, the remote controller will not operate.

5

Connecting other components

• Do not plug in the AC power cord until all other connections have been made.

• For output jacks, the jack marked R corresponds to the right channel, and the jack marked L to the left channel. Refer to the

amplifier’s instruction manual for further information on connections.

• Avoid bundling the audio connection cables with the power cord or speaker cables. Doing so may degrade sound reproduction.

• Insert the plugs and connectors securely. Remember that improper connection can result in noise, poor performance, or dam-

age to the equipment.

Improper
connection

Protection caps are attached to the DIGITAL OUTPUT OPTICAL
jacks. Remove the cap for the jack you wish to use when connect-

Connection to digital equipment, such as an MD recorder or
DAT.
Use an optical cable to connect this unit to the digital input
(optical) jack of an MD recorder or DAT in order to make dig­ital recordings. The optical cable should have connectors
which fit into the digital jacks.

C Connections for remote control

When the DX-7333 is connected to an amplifier with the Onkyo

jack, pressing the CD operation button on the amplifier’s

remote controller enables you to operate the CD player.

Note:

• The upper and lower remote control jacks have the

same function.

• Remote control operation is not possible when only the

remote control cable is connected – the audio cables must
also be connected.

• An cable equipped with a 1/8" (3.5mm) diameter min-

iature two-conductor phone plug is included with the DX­7333 and with every tuner or cassette tape deck with the

symbol.
