Before use (continued) Precautions for use ooDo not place anything on the turntable cover. Objects on the cover might cause noise due to vibrations or fall off, especially during playback. Maintenance If the surface of the unit gets dirty, wipe it with a soft cloth or use diluted mild liquid soap. Allow the surface of the unit to dry completely before using. ooAvoid placing the unit in direct sunlight, close to a source of heat or in other similar conditions. Do not place the unit on top of an amplifier or other equipment that might generate heat that exceeds the operating temperature range of this unit. Doing so could cause discoloration, deformation or malfunction. ooAs the unit could become warm during operation, always leave sufficient space around it for ventilation. When installing this unit, leave a little space (at least 20 cm (8")) between it and other devices and walls to allow good heat dissipation. When placing it in a rack, for example, leave at least 35 cm (13 3/4") open above it and 10 cm (4") open behind it. Failure to provide these gaps could cause heat to build up inside and result in fire. ooDo not use chemical cleaning cloths, thinner or similar substances as they could damage the surface of the unit. VV CAUTION For safety, disconnect the power cord from the socket before cleaning.
