Placement
Avoid placing the unit in areas of:
•direct sunlight
• high temperature
• high humidity
• excessive vibration
• uneven surfaces (Place the unit on a flat level surface.)
Such conditions might damage the cabinet and/or other component
parts and thereby shorten the unit’s service life.
To protect the unit against sound distortion and acoustical effects,
please place the unit at least 15 cm away from wall surfaces etc.
Ventilation
• Place the unit in a well-ventilated position at least 10 cm away from
wall surfaces etc.
• Ensure that curtains and similar materials do not obstruct the venti­
lation holes.
Stacking
Never place heavy items on top of the unit or the power cord.
Voltage
• It is very dangerous to use an AC power source of high voltage
such as for an air conditioner.
A fire might be caused by such a connection.
•A DC power source can not be used.
Be sure to check the power source carefully, especially if on a ship
or other place where DC Is used.
Power cord protection
•Avoid cuts, scratches or poor connection of the AC main cord, as
this may result in fire or electric shock.
Excessive bending, putting or slicing of the cord should also be
avoided.
•Do not pull on the cord when you are disconnecting the power, as
this could cause an electric shock. Grasp the plug firmly when you
disconnect the power supply.
•Never touch tiie plug with wet hands or a serious electric shock
could result.

Foreign materials
•Ensure that no foreign objects, such as needles, coins, screwdriv­
ers etc., accidentally fall into the unit or through the ventilation
holes.
Otherwise, a serious electric shock or malfunction could occur.
• Be extremely careful about spilling water or liquid on/into the unit,
as a fire or electric shock could gccur.
(Disconnect the power plug and contact your dealer immediately if
this occurs.)
•Avoid spraying insecticides onto the unit as they contain flammable
gases which can be ignited.
• Insecticides, alcohol, paint thinner and similar chemicals should
never be used to clean the unit as they can cause flaking or
cloudiness to the cabinet finish.
Service •
• Never attempt to repair, disassemble or reconstruct the unit if there
seems to be a problem.
A serious electric shock could result if you ignore this precautionary
measure.
• If a problem occurs during operation (the sound is interrupted,
indicators fail to light up, smoke is detected, etc.) contact your
dealer or Authorized Service Center immediately.
• Disconnect the power supply if the unit will not be used for a long
time. Otherwise the operation life could be shortened.
Cautions on moving your stereo
Before moving your stereo to another location, be sure to
remove all discs from the rack and turn off the stereo.
The changer mechanism automatically locks when the unit is
turned off, to protect it against damage in transport. Therefore,
always press POWER and make sure “GOOD BYE" appears
on the display before you unplug the stereo.
Failure to do so will expose the compact discs and the stereo
to the risk of severe damage.
