• Avoid locations that are subject to moisture, mechanical vibration, shock, or excessive dust.

• As good ventilation is essential to protect the CD player from internal heat build up, the selected location should have adequate air circulation.

Check for moisture

Moisture is your CD player’s worst enemy. Do take note of some of the following situations in which condensation might form :

• Immediately after a heater has been turned on;

• In a steamy or very humid room;

• When the system is suddenly moved from a

cold environment to a warm, moist one; for example, in moving the unit from a cool air conditioned room to an outside porch on a humid, summer day.

If moisture forms inside this player, it may not operate properly. To correct the problem, turn off the power and wait about 30 minutes for moisture to evaporate.

RP8070 IB rev3 8/14/01, 4:58 PM3

Connections

Digital Out

(Optical)

Connecting the CD Player to an amplifier

Prior to or during connections, the CD player should NOT be plugged to an AC power outlet.

1. Connect the cable’s red plug to the CD player’s red (R) output jack. Connect the white plug at the same end of the cable to the white (L) output jack of the CD player.

2. Repeat step 1 above for connecting the other end of the cable to an amplifier’s (R) and (L) input jack. Note: If the amplifier does not have input jacks labeled “CD”, you can use input jacks labeled “AUX” (Auxilliary).

3. Plug the power cord of the CD player into an AC power outlet that accepts the polarized plug (one blade wider than the other) or use the AC outlet, if provided, at the back of your amplifier.

White

4. If your amplifier is equipped with optical input, connect it with an optical cable (not supplied, available at general audio shops) to your CD player to enjoy digital playback. By connecting a CD recorder or MD deck to your player with an optical cable (not supplied), you can make a digital recording from your CD player.

5. For analog device recording(such as a tape

recorder), analog cables will be needed if the signal is sent through the amplifier. IMPORTANT: The polarized plug is an important safety feature. It will fit into the power outlet only one way. If the plug won’t go into the outlet completely, reverse it and try inserting it the other way. If it still won’t fit, contact a qualified electrician to change the outlet, or use a different one. Do not attempt to bypass this safety feature.

RP8070 IB rev3 8/14/01, 5:00 PM13

Cleaning Compact Discs

• Dirty discs can cause poor sound quality. Always keep discs clean by wiping them gently with a soft cloth from the inner edge toward the outer perimeter.

• If a disc becomes very dirty, wet a soft cloth in water, wring it out well, wipe the dirt away gently, and then remove any water drops with a dry cloth.

• Do not use record cleaning sprays or antistatic agents on discs. Also, never clean the discs with benzene, thinner, or other volatile solvents which may cause damage to the disc surface.
