Placement
Avoid placing the unit in areas of:
• direct sunlight
• high temperature
• high humidity
• excessive vibration
• uneven surfaces. {Place the unit on a flat leve! surface).
Such conditions might damage the cabinet and/or other compo
nent parts and thereby shorten the unit's service life.
Ventilation
Place the unit in a weii ventilated position at least 10 cms away
from wall surfaces etc.
Stacking
Never place heavy items on top of the unit or the power cord.
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 on a
ship or other place where DC is used.
Power cord protection
• Avoid cuts, scratches or poor connection of the AC mains cord,
as this may resuit in fire or electric shock hazard.
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.
Maintenance
Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft cloth lightly
moistened with mild detergent solution.
Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent
such as aicchol or benzine.
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 precau
tionary measure,
• If a problem occurs during operation (the sound is interrupted,
indicators fail to illuminate, smoke is detected, etc) contact
your dealer or Authorised 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.
ЕШШЕШ
Avoid places such as the following:
• Near any equipment or device that generates
magnetism.
• On any heat-generating equipment or device, or in any place
where the temperature is high (35° C or higher).
• Extremely cold place (5°C or below).
• Near a tuner or TV (It may cause noise in the broadcast, or
disturbance of the TV picture.).
When carrying or storing the unit, handle it with care so it is not subjected to any strong bumps.
Always remove the discs before storing the unit for any period of
time.
To avoid problems due to vibration.
• Do not place a book or similar object under this unit.
• Do not route the connection cables (of this or other units)
across the operation panel, across the top, or under the unit.
strong
Foreign materials
• Ensure that no foreign objects, such as needles, coins,
screwdrivers etc, accidentally fall 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 immediate
ly if this occurs.)
• Avoid spraying insecticides onto the unit as they contain flam
mable gases which can be ignited.
•In secticides, alcohol, paint thinner and similar chemicals
should never be used to clean the unit as they can cause flaking
or cloudiness to the cabinet finish.
Moisture may form on the lens in the following
cases...
• Immediately after a heater has been turned on.
• In a steamy or very humid room.

The average battery life is about one year.
Although the battery life varies depending on how often the
device is used, you should generally replace the batteries about
once a year.
The batteries should be repiaced if commands from the remote
control transmitter do not operate the unit even when the
transmitter is held close to the front panel.
Never subject batteries to excessive heat or flame; do not at
tempt to disassemble them; and be sure they are not short-cir
cuited.
If you will not use the remote control for a long period of time,
remove the batteries and store them in a cool, dark place.
if a battery leaks, remove all batteries and dispose of them pro
perly. Thoroughly clean the battery compartment before inser
ting new batteries.
If the leaking electrolyte comes into contact with skin or clothes,
flush with water immediately.
Keep batteries out of reach of children.
Do not use rechargeable (nickel-cadmium) type batteries.
Do not attempt to recharge alkaline or carbon batteries.
Do not dispose of used batteries in household rubbish.
Be sure the transmission window and the unit’s sensor are free
from dust. Excessive dust might affect performance.

Memory reserve function
It is possible to reduce the length of the silent intervals which
occur in between the changing of discs.
This is done by storing the sound which is taken from the disc in a
memory for several seconds before it is actuaily output.
This means that sound continues to be heard for several seconds
even after disc changing has started. It also has the function of
cutting out silent sections at the end of the last track to be played
before the disc is changed. This provides the overall impression
that you are listening to only a single disc, even if there are actual
ly numerous discs being played.
SwitchjDg to memory reserve mode
o
OFF/ON
Press OFF/ON.
The memory reserve indicator above the but
ton will illuminate.
Memory reserve indicator
Illuminates when memory reserve mode is on.
Illuminates when the memory becomes full dur

Flashes when playback starts to indicate that
the sound is being loaded into memory. After
about 10 seconds, the memory becomes fuil
and the indicator illuminates steadily.
Flashes at high speed (for several seconds)
when the playback sound is coming only from
the memory and the amount of sound stored in
memory is starting to decrease (for example,
when loading of sound into the memory is be
ing interrupted because the disc is being
changed).
For your reference:
The effects of memory reserve can still be obtained even when
carrying out an ID scan. (Refer to "Parade scan” on page 15.)
When playing back two consecutive tracks from the same disc,
there is no reduction in the length of the silent interval between
the tracks.
When operating the disc changer manually using the DISC SKIP
or DISC buttons, the effect of memory reserve cannot be obtain
ed.
It is recommended that you set the memory reserve mode to
be on at all times.
When the memory reserve mode is set to be on, this setting
will be maintained even after the unit is switched off, unless
the unit is not being used for a long time and the power cord is
removed from the wall outlet.
To cancel memory reserve mode:
o
OFF/ON Press OFF/ON.
The memory reserve indicator wilt go out.
To listen through headphones
Connect the headphones (not Included) to the headphones jack.
Plug type: 1/4 inch phone plug, stereo type,
Avoid listening for prolonged periods of time to prevent hearing
damage.
If a search or skip operation is carried out while the memory is
full, loading of sound into memory will start again from the posi
tion reached by the respective operation.

When the memory reserve function is on, no sound will be out
put from the "DIGITAL OPTICAL OUT” terminal at the rear of
this unit. Make sure that the memory reserve indicator is off
when making a digital recording.
