instructions should be followed.

5. Water and Moisture – The appliance should
not be used near water – for example, near a
bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub,
in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool,
and the like.

6. Carts and Stands – The appliance should be
used only with a cart or stand that is
recommended by the manufacturer.

6A. An appliance and cart

combination should be
moved with care. Quick
stops, excessive force, and
uneven surfaces may cause
the appliance and cart
combination to overturn.

7. Wall or Ceiling Mounting – The appliance
should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only
as recommended by the manufacturer.

8. Ventilation – The appliance should be
situated so that its location or position does
not interfere with its proper ventilation. For
example, the appliance should not be situated
on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface that
may block the ventilation openings; or if
placed in a built-in installation, such as a
bookcase or cabinet that may impede the flow
of air through the ventilation openings, there
should be free space of at least 5 cm (2 in.)
and an opening behind the appliance.

9. Heat – The appliance should be situated away
from heat sources such as radiators, heat
registers, stoves, or other appliances (including
amplifiers) that produce heat.

10. Power Sources – The appliance should be
connected to a power supply only of the type
described in the operating instructions or as
marked on the appliance.

11. Polarization – If the appliance is provided with a
polarized plug having one blade wider than the
other, please read the following information:
The polarization of the plug is a safety feature.
The polarized plug will only fit the outlet one
way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet,
try reversing it. If there is still trouble, the user
should seek the services of a qualified electrician.
Under no circumstances should the user attempt
to defeat the polarization of the plug.

12. Power-Cord Protection – Power-supply
cords should be routed so that they are not
likely to be walked on or pinched by items
placed upon or against them, especially near
plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point
where they exit from the appliance.

13. Cleaning – The appliance should be cleaned
only as recommended by the manufacturer.

14. Nonuse Periods – The power cord of the
appliance should be unplugged from the outlet
when left unused for a long period of time.

15. Object and Liquid Entry – Care should be taken
so that objects do not fall and liquids are not spilled
into the enclosure through openings.

16. Damage Requiring Service – The appliance
should be serviced by qualified service
personnel when:
A. The power-supply cord or the plug has

been damaged; or

B. Objects have fallen, or liquid has been

spilled into the appliance; or
C. The appliance has been exposed to rain; or
D. The appliance does not appear to operate

normally or exhibits a marked change in

performance; or
E. The appliance has been dropped, or the

enclosure damaged.

5. 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.

6. 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.

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. 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 V, 50 Hz or AC 120 V, 60 Hz) written on the
rear panel.
Turning off the standby button does not shut off
the power completely. So the power cord should
be removed from the AC outlet when the unit is
not used for a prolonged time.

3. 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.

4. 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.

this cap to connect the unit to other digital equipment. When you are not using
the digital output connector, replace this cap.

3 To AC OUTLET (UNSWITCHED)

The AC power cord of another component can be connected to this AC OUTLET connector.
This means that if the C-707CHX is plugged into an AC outlet, AC power is available to this AC OUTLET
even if the C-707CHX is off.

Note

The shape, number, and total capacity of the AC outlets may differ depending on the area where the
unit is purchased.

120 V, 60 Hz model: Capacity is 120 W in total.

Connecting to the other components

Before connecting

• Do not connect the AC power cord (mains lead) until you complete all the other connections includ­ing the

connections on the next page.

• On each pair of connectors, a red connector (marked R) corresponds to the right channel, and a
white connector (marked L) to the left channel. Connect white plugs of audio connection cables to
L connectors and connect red plugs of audio connection cables to R connectors.

STANDBY

STANDBY/ ON

The RC-414S remote controller is shown in
the following illustrations.

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 con-

troller and the remote control sensor, the re­mote controller will not operate.

Selecting the disc mode

Each time you press the DISC MODE button, the
disc mode will change in the following
sequence:

(The current disc mode is shown by the disc
mode indicators.)

TR-1 mode (hit-parade function): When
loaded with CD-singles, the CD Changer plays
only the first tracks of discs. The unit
automatically stops when the first tracks of all
discs have been played back. This mode is useful
when you play only the first tracks of one CD­single after another.
1DISC mode: The CD Changer plays only the
currently selected disc. When finished, the unit
stops without playing the next CD.
Normal play (No indication made): When
finished playing the disc’s final track, the CD
Changer immediately starts playing the next
disc’s first track. The unit automatically stops
when all discs have been played back.

Note:

In the TR-1 mode, the CD Changer determines
whether it is a CD-single by the total playing
time, not the size of the disc. Therefore, even if
a 12-cm disc is loaded, the unit will recognize it
as a CD-single if it includes 4 tracks or less and
its total playing time is less than 27 minutes, and
play back only the disc’s first track.
