PRECAUTIONS
Follow the advice below for safe and correct operation.
ON AC voltage
Before connectiong AC cord, check that the rated voltage shown
on the rear panel matches your local voltage.
AC 120 V, 60 Hz
Positioning
• Do not use the unit in places which are extremely hot, cold, dusty
or humid.
• The unit should be situated with adequate space around it so
that proper heat ventilation is assured. Allow 10 cm clearance
from the rear and the top of the unit, and 5 cm from the each
side.
- Do not place the unit on a bed, rug, or similar surface that may
block the ventilation openings.
- Do not install the unit in a bookcase, cabinet, or airtight rack
where ventilation may be impeded.
Using the unit near a TV set
Although the unit is magnetically shielded, there may be cases in
which the picture on some TV sets may become magnetically
distorted.
• If the TV picture is distorted, turn off the power of the TV set
once, and after 15 to 30 minutes turn it on again.
• If there seems to be no improvement, move the unit further away
from the TV set.
• Furthermore, be sure not to place magnets or objects using
magnets, such as audio racks, toys etc. near the TV set. These
may cause magnetic distortion to the picture due to their
interaction with the unit.
Howling or buzzing sound
A howling or buzzing sound may be heard if a turntable or a stereo
system is placed near the unit. Move the unit away from the
equipment or decrease the volume.
Safety
• When connecting and disconnecting the AC cord, always grasp
the plug. Do not pull the cord by itself since pulling the cord may
damage it and thus be hazardous.
• When you are not going to use the unit for a long period of time,
disconnect the AC cord. If the cord is plugged in, a small amount
of current keeps on flowing to the unit even if the power button is
not ON.
Cleaning
To clean the cabinet, use a soft cloth slightly moistened with a
mild detergent solution. Do not use strong solvents, such as
alcohol, benzine or thinner.
Keep away magnetic items
Keep cassette tapes, personal credit card etc. using magnetic
cording away from the unit as the recorded information may be
erased or some noise may be added on cassette tapes.
Should any problem occur, disconnect the AC cord and refer
servicing to qualified personnel only.
