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 sunlight, or near stoves or radiators. Excessive heat
can adversely affect the cabinet and internal components. Installation of the
player in a damp or dusty environment may aiso result in a malfunction and
can be hazardous. Avoid installation near cookers etc., where the player may
be exposed to oily smoke, steam or heat.

Installation Guidelines

- Placing and using the compact disc player for long periods on heat-generating sources such as amplifiers or
near spotlights, etc. will affect product performance. Avoid placing the player on heatgenerating sources.

- Install this compact disc player as far as possible away from tuners and TV sets. A compact disc player
installed in close proximity to such equipment may cause noise or degradation of the picture.

- Noise may be noticeable when an indoor antenna is used. In such cases, make use of an outdoor antenna or
turn off power to the compact disc player.

- When the unit is used in a loud-sound environment, e.g., near a speaker, sound skip may occur. Install the
unit away from the speaker or reduce the listening volume.

- Place this unit on a level surface and a stable platform.

- Be sure the player, including its audio and power supply cords, does not touch vibrating materials. Any cause
of vibration other than the insulators may cause the disc to skip. Take special care when using the player
while it is installed in a carrying case.

When this unit is brought into a warm room from previously cold surroundings or when the room temperature rises
sharply, condensation may form inside the unit and impair its performance. In such cases, allow the unit to stand for
about an hour or raise the room temperature gradually.

About discs created on computers

Depending on the application settings and the computer’s environmental settings, it may not be possible to play
certain discs. Record the disc in a format supported on this unit. For details, contact your application’s retailer.
If the recording quality is poor due to the disc’s properties, scratches or dirt on the disc or dirt on the recording lens, it

may not be possible to play the disc.

Creating backup discs

When CD-R/-RW discs are paused or left in the pause mode at cue points for long periods
of time, it may become difficult to play the disc at that point, due to the properties of the disc.
Also, when a specific point is looped repeatedly an extremely large number of times, it may become difficult to play
that point. When playing valuable discs, we recommend making backup discs.

IMPORTANT
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in

hazardous radiation exposure.
