CAUTIONS REGARDING HANDLING
CD lens cleaner
The compact disc recorder's pickup lens should not become
dirty in normal use, but if for some reason it should malfunction
due to soiling, consult your nearest FOSTEX authorized service
center. Lens cleaners for compact disc recorders are
commercially available, but special care should be exercised
in their use since some may cause damage to the lens.
Location
Install the compact disc recorder in a well-ventilated location
where it will not be exposed to high temperatures or humidity.
Do not install the compact disc recorder in a location which
is exposed to direct rays of the sun, or near stoves or
radiators. Excessive heat can adversely affect the cabinet
and internal components. Installation of the player in a damp
or dusty environment may also result in a malfunction or
accident. (Avoid installation near cookers etc., where the
player may be exposed to oily smoke, steam or heat.)
Do not install the compact disc recorder on an unstable or
inclined surface.
Never move the unit during recording/playback
The disc rotates at a high speed during recording and
playback. Do not lift or move the unit during these
operations, otherwise the disc may be damaged or recording
is impossible.
Precautions regarding installation
• Placing and using the compact disc recorder for long
periods on heat-generating sources such as amplifiers
will affect performance. Avoid placing the compact disc
recorder on heat-generating sources.
• Install this compact disc recorder as far as possible from
tuners and TV sets. A compact disc recorder installed in
close proximity to such equipment may cause noise or
degradation of the picture.
• Such noise may be particularly noticeable when an indoor
antenna is used. In such cases, make use of an outdoor
antenna, or turn off power to the compact disc recorder.
• Please place this unit on a level surface.
Cleaning the compact disc recorder
To clean the compact disc recorder, wipe with a soft, dry
cloth. For stubborn dirt, wet a soft cloth with a mild detergent
solution made by diluting one part detergent to 5 or 6 parts
water, wring well, then wipe off the dirt. Also use a dry cloth
to wipe the surface dry. Do not use volatile liquids such as
benzene and thinner which are harmful to the unit.
Condensation
When this unit is brought into a warm room from previously
cold surroundings or when the room temperature rises
sharply, condensation may form inside, and the unit may not
be able to attain its full performance. If this occurs, allow the
unit to stand for about an hour or raise the room temperature
gradually.
