Important Safeguards

SD-SG11

CAUTION

All the safety and operating instructions should be read before the appliance is operated, and should be retained for future reference. Electrical energy can perform many useful functions. This unit has been engineered and manufactured to assure your personal safety. Improper use can result in potential electrical shock or fire hazards. In order not to defeat the safeguards, observe the following basic rules for its installation, use and servicing.

1 Heed Warnings - All warnings on the appliance and in the operating instructions

should be adhered to.

2 Follow Instructions - All operating and use instructions should be followed. 3 Water and Moisture - The appliance should not be used near water - for ex-

ample, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, etc.

4 Carts and Stands - The appliance should be used only with a cart or stand that is

recommended by the manufacturer.

● An appliance and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and cart combination to overturn.

5 Wall or Ceiling Mounting - The appliance should be mounted to a wall or ceiling

only as recommended by the manufacturer.

6 V entilation - The appliance should be situated so that its location or position does

not interfere with its proper ventilation. For example, the appliance should not be situated on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface that may block the ventilation openings; or, placed in a built-in installation, such as a bookcase or cabinet that may impede the flow of air through the ventilation openings.

7 Heat - The appliance should be situated away from heat sources such as

radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other appliances (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

8 Power Sources - The appliance should be connected to a power supply only of

the type described in the operating instructions or as marked on the appliance.

9 Power-Cord Protection - Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are

not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the appliance.

10 Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning. 11 Power Lines - An outdoor antenna should be located away from power lines.

12 Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna is connected to the receiver,

be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFP A No. 70-1984, provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

13 Nonuse Periods - The power cord of the appliance should be unplugged from the

outlet when left unused for a long period of time.

14 Object and Liquid Entry - Care should be taken so that objects do not fall and

liquids are not spilled into the enclosure through openings.

15 Damage Requiring Service - The appliance should be serviced by qualified ser-

vice personnel when:

A The power-supply cord or the plug has been damaged; or B Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled into the appliance; or C The appliance has been exposed to rain; or D The appliance does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a marked change

in performance; or

E The appliance has been dropped, or the enclosure damaged.

16 Servicing - The user should not attempt to service the appliance beyond that

General Information

Volume control



The sound level at a given volume setting depends on speaker efficiency, location, and various other factors. It is advisable to avoid exposure to high volume levels, which occurs while turning the unit on with the volume control setting up high, or while continually listening at high volumes.

Care of compact discs



Compact discs are fairly resistant to damage, however mistracking can occur due to an accumulation of dirt on the disc surface. Follow the guidelines below for maximum enjoyment from your CD collection and player.



Do not write on either side of the disc, particular ly the non-label side from which signals are read. Do not mark this surface.



Keep your discs awa y from direct sunlight, heat, and excessive moisture.



Always hold the CDs by the edges. Fingerprints, dirt, or water on the CDs can cause noise or mistracking. If a CD is dirty or does not play properly, clean it with a soft, dry cloth, wiping straight out from the center, along the radius.



Do not attach labels or adhesive tapes on the CD. It may cause malfunction to the unit.

The TOC (Table of Contents) is information on track numbers and recording areas to allow the unit to recognize musical selections or sounds.

numbers, track

names, etc.)

When you start recording or editing, "TOC" will appear on the display. This indicates that information in the TOC is now being changed according to the recording or editing being performed. (The changed TOC is not yet recorded on the MiniDisc at this time.)

The TOC is recorded when

You set the unit to the stand-by mode.

Do NOT unplug the power cord while the TOC is being recorded ("TOC" is flashing) and do NOT impart shock to the unit. Otherwise, TOC will not be correctly recorded, and consequently proper playback may not be possible.

About ATRAC



The ATRAC (Adaptive TRansform Acoustic Coding) system com presses the sound data into 1/5 by cutting out the inaudible sound. Since the sound is selected based on psychoacoustics masking, the sound quality is not impaired.

On such a unit, "LP :" is displayed at the beginning of the track and no sound is heard. (The operation and the display may vary depending on the unit.)

Note for high speed recording:

If the source CD is of poor quality due to scratches or dir t, recording at high speed may be unreliable. It may be recorded with noise or pauses. If this occurs, set recording speed to normal.

Caution for 4 times long recording (LP4):

To realise 4 times long stereo recording, special compression methods are used. Due to the high levels of compression the sound quality may be adversely affected and some noise may be recorded. If sound quality is the main concern it is recommended that 2 times long or normal recording is used.
