Do not use any benzene, paint thinner, ethyl alcohol
or other chemical agents to clean the unit as it could
damage the surface. To clean the unit, wipe gently
with a soft dry cloth.

Rack-mounting the unit
The HD-R1 may be used in most areas, but to
maintain top performance, and prolong operating
life, observe the following notes, precautions and
environmental conditions:
Avoid exposing it to extremes of temperature •
and humidity and avoid mechanical shocks and
vibration.
Keep the unit away from strong magnetic fields •
(TV sets, computer monitors, large electric motors,
etc.).
The nominal temperature should be between 5°C •
and 35°C (41°F and 95°F).
Relative humidity should be 30 to 90 percent. •
As the unit may become hot during operation, •
always leave sufficient space above the unit for
ventilation. Do not install this unit in a confined
space such as a bookcase, and do not put anything
on top of the unit.
Avoid installing this unit on top of any heat- •
generating electrical device such as a power
amplifier.
Make sure that the unit is mounted in a level •
position for correct operation.
The voltage supplied to the unit should match •
the voltage as printed on the rear panel. If you
are in any doubt regarding this matter, consult an
electrician.
If the unit is moved from a cold to a warm place,
or used after a sudden temperature change, there
is a danger of condensation; vapor in the air could
condense on the internal mechanism, making correct
operation impossible. To prevent this, or if this occurs,
let the player sit for one or two hours at the new room
temperature before using.
Compact Flash (CF) cards and USB storage devices
are manufactured with precision. In order to prevent
damage to the card, card slot, USB device or USB
port, please observe the following precautions when
handling them.
Do not keep them in extremely hot or cold •
environments.
Do not keep them in extremely humid •
environments.
Do not get them wet. •
Do not place things on top of them or twist them. •
Do not strike or shock them. •
Do not remove a CF card or USB storage device •
during recording, playback, data transfer or other
kind of access.
Use the supplied rack-mounting kit to mount the unit
in a standard 19-inch rack, as shown below. Remove
the feet of the unit before mounting.
NOTE
Leave 1U of space above the unit for ventilation. •
Allow at least 10 cm (4 in) at the rear of the unit for •
ventilation.
