Installing the CD Player ■ Maintenance
Notes on Installation
Place the unit in a iocation with adequate air circuiation
to prevent internal heat build up in the unit.
Do not place the unit on a soft surface, such as a rug
that would block the ventilation holes on the bottom.
Do not install the unit.
- near heat sources such as radiators or air ducts.
- in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust,
mechanical vibration or shock.

in a proper location before switching the power on.
Do not transport the unit with the discs inserted.
If you remove the side panels to install the unit in a
rack, be sure to secure the metal casing with the
supplied screws (M3x8 mm in length). DO NOT use the
longer screws that held the side panels in place.
On moisture condensation
If the player is brought directly from a cold to a warm
location, or is placed in a very damp room, moisture
may condense on the lens inside the unit. Should this
occur, the player will not operate. In this case,
remove the disc and leave the player turned on for
about an hour until the moisture evaporates.
Cleaning the cabinet

lightly moistened with mild detergent solution. Do not use
any type of abrasive pad scouring powder or solvent such
as alcohol or benzine.
Cleaning discs
Before playing, clean the disc with the cleaning cloth.
Wipe the disc from the center out.
Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner,
commercially availeible cleaners or anti-static spray
intended for analog discs.

the speakers may be damaged when a peak level
portion is played.
