CAUTION

This content indicates “risk of injury.”

Power supply/AC adaptor

•Do not cover or wrap the AC adaptor with a cloth or blanket. Failure to observe this may trap heat, causing deformation in the case or a fire.

•Do not use an AC outlet where the power plug fits loosely when inserted. Failure to observe this may cause a fire, electric shocks, or burns.

•When removing the electric plug from the unit or an AC outlet, always hold the plug itself and not the cord. Pulling by the cord can damage it and cause electric shocks or a fire.

•Insert the power plug firmly all the way into the AC outlet. Using the unit when it is not plugged in sufficiently can cause dust to accumulate on the plug, causing a fire or burns.

Installation

•Do not place the unit in an unstable position where it might accidentally drop or fall over and cause injuries.

•When installing this unit:

-Do not cover it with any cloth.

-Do not install it on a carpet or rug.

-Make sure the top surface faces up; do not install on its sides or upside down.

•Ensure that the top is facing upwards. Failure to observe this may cause malfunctions or for the unit to fall and cause injury.

•Do not install the unit in places where it may come into contact with corrosive gases or salt air or places that have excessive smoke or steam. Doing so may result in malfunction.

•Avoid being near the unit during a disaster, such as an earthquake. Since the unit may turn over or fall and cause injury, quickly move away from the unit and go to a safe place.

•Before moving this unit, be sure to turn off the power switch and disconnect all connection cables. Failure to observe this may damage the cables or cause you or someone else to trip and fall.

Hearing loss

•Before connecting the unit to other devices, turn off the power for all devices. Failing to do so may result in hearing loss, electric shock, or device damage.

•When turning on the AC power in your audio system, always turn on the amplifier or receiver LAST, to avoid hearing loss and speaker damage. When turning the power off, the amplifier or receiver should be turned off FIRST for the same reason. Failure to observe the above may cause hearing impairment or speaker damage.

Maintenance

•Remove the power plug from the AC outlet before cleaning the unit. Failure to observe this may cause electric shocks.

Handling caution

•Keep small parts out of the reach of infants. Your children may accidentally swallow them.

•Do not do the following:

-stand on or sit on the equipment.

-put heavy items on top of the equipment.

Power supply/AC adaptor

•If not using the unit for a long period of time, be sure to pull the power plug from the outlet. A minute current is still flowing even if the power has been turned off (the power is in standby).

Installation

•Do not use this unit in the vicinity of other electronic equipment, such as a TV, radio, or mobile phone. Failure to observe this may cause this unit or the TV or radio to produce noise.

•Do not use this unit in a location that is exposed to direct sunlight that becomes extremely hot, such as near a heater, or extremely cold, or that is subject to excessive dust or vibration. Failure to observe this may cause the unit’s panel to become deformed, the internal components to malfunction, or for operation to become unstable.

•If using a wireless function, avoid installing this unit near metal walls or desks, microwave ovens, or other wireless network devices.

Obstructions could shorten the transmission distance.

Connections

•If connecting external units, be sure to thoroughly read the manual for each unit and connect them in accordance with the instructions.

Failure to properly handle a unit in accordance with the instructions could cause malfunctions.

Handling

•Do not place plastic or rubber products on this unit. Failure to observe this may cause discoloration or deformation in the panel of this unit.

•If the ambient temperature changes drastically (such as during unit transportation or under rapid heating or cooling) and there is a chance condensation may have formed in the unit, leave the unit for several hours without turning on the power until it is completely dry before use. Using the unit while there is condensation can cause malfunctions.

Maintenance

•If the temperature or humidity changes drastically, water droplets (condensation) may form on the unit surface. If water droplets form, immediately wipe them off with a soft cloth. If water droplets are left on the unit, they may be absorbed into the wooden parts, causing deformation.

•When cleaning the unit, use a dry, soft cloth. Using chemicals such as benzine or thinner, cleaning agents, or chemical scrubbing cloths can cause discoloration or deformation.

NOTE

When turning the counter ring, use your fingers to press the counter weight so that it does not rotate.

The specified stylus pressure for the supplied cartridge is 3.5 g.

NOTE

 Turning the counter weight also turns the counter ring.

En 21

Getting ready | Turning the power on

Adjusting the anti-skating

As the platter rotates, the tip of the stylus generates a force that pulls it toward the center of rotation. If the anti-skating value is set to the same value as the stylus pressure, a force is generated that pulls the tip of the stylus outward away from the center of rotation, and the two forces cancel each other.

1Turn the anti-skating adjustment to the same value as the stylus pressure of the cartridge.

Turning the power on

On the top panel of the unit, press STANDBY/ON (power) to turn on the power of the unit. Press STANDBY/ON (power) once again to put the unit in standby mode.

STANDBY/ON
