Before Use

• Choose unit installation location carefully. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight or close to a source of heat. Also avoid locations subject to vibrations and excessive dust, cold or moisture. Keep away from sources that hum, such as transformers or motors.
• Do not open the cabinet as this might result in damage to the circuitry or electrical shock. If a foreign object should get into the set, contact your dealer. Be sure not to handle discs with dirty fingers. Never insert a disc that has a crack on the surface.
• When removing the power plug from the wall outlet, always pull directly on the plug, never yank the cord.
• To keep the laser pickup clean, do not touch it , and do not forget to close the disc tray.
• Do not attempt to clean the unit with chemical solvents as this might damage the finish. Use a clean, dry cloth. Keep this manual in a safe place for future reference

Beware of Condensation

• When the player (or a compact disc) is moved from a cold to a warm place or is used after a sudden temperature change, there is the danger of condensation. Water vapor in the air could condense on the mechanism or the laser pickup. If droplets of water form on these parts, correct playback will be impossible, the laser cannot read the information from the disc correctly. To prevent this, if you are going to use the player in a condition where condensation could occur, you should leave the player for 1 or 2 hours after plugging it into an AC outlet, depending on the amount of condensation. If this is done, the player will stabilize at the temperature of its surroundings
