B stacking
Never place heavy items on top of the unit or the power cord.
B Voltage
• It is very dangerous to use an AC power source of high voltage such as for an
air conditioner.
A fire might be caused by such a connection.
•A DC power source can not be used.
Be sure to check the power source carefully, especially if on a ship or other
place where DC is used.
B Power cord protection
•Avoid cuts, scratches or poor connection of the AC main cord, as this may
result in fire or electric shock.
Excessive bending, pulling or slicing of the cord should also be avoided,
•Do not pull on the cord when you are disconnecting the power, as this could
cause an electric shock. Grasp the plug firmly when you disconnect the power
supply.
•Never touch the plug with wet hands or a serious electric shock could result.
B Foreign materials
• Ensure that no foreign objects, such as needles, coins, screwdrivers etc,,
accidentally fail into the unit or through the ventilation holes.
Otherwise, a serious electric shock or malfunction could occur.
• Be extremely careful about spilling water or liquid on/into the unit, as a fire or
electric shock could occur.
(Disconnect the power plug and contact your dealer immediately if this
occurs.)
•Avoid spraying insecticides onto the unit as they contain flammable gases
which can be ignited.
•Insecticides, alcohol, paint thinner and similar chemicals should never be
used to dean the unit as they can cause flaking or cloudiness to the cabinet
finish.
B Service
• Never attempt to repair, disassemble or reconstruct the unit if there seems to
be a problem.
A serious electric shock could result if you ignore this precautionary measure.
•If a problem occurs during operation (the sound is interrupted, indicators fail to
light up. smoke is detected, etc.) contact your dealer or Authorized Service
Center immediately.
•Disconnect the power supply if the unit will not be used for a long time.
Otherwise the operation life could be shortened.
Cautions on moving your stereo:
Before moving your stereo to another location, be sure to remove alt
discs from the rack and turn off the stereo.
The changer mechanism automatically locks when the system is turned
off, to protect it against damage in transport. Therefore, always press
POWER and make sure “GOOD BYE" appears on the display before
you unplug the stereo.
Failure to do so will expose the compact discs and the stereo to the risk
of severe damage.

One way to organize yourself would be to arrange the blocks by band
or solo artist. Within each block, you could then set the discs in
chronological order from the earliest you have until the band’s
(artist's) most recent. In sequential play, discs will be played in the
set order.
