Precautions

On safety

• Caution – The use of optical instruments with this

product will increase eye hazard.

• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet,

unplug the player and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.

On power sources

• The player is not disconnected from the AC power

source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the player itself has been turned off.

• If you are not going to use the player for a long time, be

sure to disconnect the player from the wall outlet. To disconnect the AC power cord (mains lead), grasp the plug itself; never pull the cord.

• Should the AC power cord (mains lead) need to be

changed, have it done at a qualified service shop only.

On placement

• Place the player in a location with adequate ventilation

to prevent heat build-up in the player.

• Do not place the player on a soft surface such as a rug
