Location

Install the player in a well-ventilated location where it will not be exposed to high temperatures or humidity.

Do not install the player in a location which is exposed to direct rays of the sun, or near stoves or radiators. Excessive heat can

adversely affect the cabinet and internal components. Also,

installation of the player in a damp or dusty environment may result in a malfunction or accident.

When this unit is brought into a v^/arm room from previously cold surroundings or when the room temperature rises sharply, condensation may form inside, and the unit may not be able to attain its full performance. In cases like this, allow the unit to stand

for about an hour or raise the room temperature gradually.

Cleaning and handling compact discs

Always keep your discs clean by wiping them gently with a soft cloth from the inner edge toward the outer periphery.

If a disc becomes very dirty, dip a soft cloth in water, and after wringing it out well, wipe the dirt away gently, and then remove any water drops with another soft, dry cloth. Do not use record cleaning sprays or anti-static agents on discs. Also, never clean discs with benzene, thinner, or other volatile solvents, since damage to the disc surface may result. With this player, use discs which display the mark shown below. (Optical audio digital discs.) When holding discs, do not touch their signal surfaces (the side reflecting a "rainbow" pattern, opposite the label side). Hold by the edges, or by one edge and the center hole. Do not affix gummed labels or tape to the label surfaces. Also, do not scratch or damage the label. Discs rotate at high speed inside the player. Do not use damaged (cracked or warped) discs.

Precautions regarding installation

Avoid placing the player on heat-generating sources such as amplifiers. Install this compact disc player as far as possible from tuners and TV sets. Noise may be particularly noticeable when an

indoor antenna is used. In such a case, make use of an outdoor antenna, or turn off power to the compact disc player. Please place this unit on a level surface.
