Precautions
Precautions
On safety
• To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not
place objects filled with liquids, such
as vases, on the apparatus.
• 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 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, grasp
the plug itself; never pull the cord.
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.
• Do not place the player in a location
near heat sources, or in a place subject
to direct sunlight, excessive dust, or
mechanical shock.
• Do not install the player in an inclined
position. It is designed to be operated
in a horizontal position only.
• Keep the player and the discs away
from equipment with strong magnets,
such as microwave ovens, or large
loudspeakers.
• Do not place heavy objects on the
player.
• The transparent part on the front panel
surface is made of glass. Handle with
care.
On operation
• 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 lenses inside the
player. Should this occur, the player
may not operate properly. In this case,
remove the disc and leave the player
turned on for about half an hour until
the moisture evaporates.
• When you move the player, take out
any discs. If you don’t, the disc may be
damaged.
On adjusting volume
Do not turn up the volume while
listening to a section with very low level
inputs or no audio signals. If you do, the
speakers may be damaged when a peak
level section is played.
On cleaning
Clean the cabinet, panel, and controls
with a soft cloth slightly moistened with
a mild detergent solution. Moreover,
wipe the glass part on the front panel
with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use any
type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or
solvent such as alcohol or benzine.
On cleaning discs, disc/lens
cleaners
Do not use a commercially available
cleaning disc or disc/lens cleaner (wet or
spray type). These may cause the
apparatus to malfunction.
On replacement of parts
In the events that this unit is repaired,
repaired parts may be collected for reuse
or recycling purposes.
• When the power cord or
plug is damaged or
frayed.
• If liquid has been
spilled or objects have
fallen into the set.
• If the set has been
exposed to rain or
water.
• If the set has been
subject to
excessive shock by
being dropped, or
the cabinet has
been damaged.
• If the set does not
operate normally when
following the operating
instructions. Adjust
only those controls that are specified in
the operating instructions. Improper
adjustment of other controls may result
in damage and will often require
extensive work by a qualified
technician to restore the set to normal
operation.
• When the set exhibits a distinct change
in performance – this indicates a need
for service.
Servicing
Do not attempt to service
the set yourself as
opening or removing
covers may expose you
to dangerous voltage or other hazards.
Refer all servicing to qualified service
personnel.
Replacement parts
When replacement parts are required, be
sure the service technician has used
replacement parts specified by the
manufacturer that have the same
characteristics as the original parts.
Unauthorized substitutions may result in
fire, electric shock, or other hazards.
Safety Check
Upon completion of any
service or repairs to the
set, ask the service
technician to perform
routine safety checks (as
specified by the
manufacturer) to determine that the set is
in safe operating condition.
