English INSTALLATION GUIDELINES INSTALLATION GUIDELINES • Placing and using the player for long periods on heat-generating sources such as amplifiers or near spotlights, etc. will affect product performance. Avoid placing the player on heatgenerating sources. • Install this player as far as possible away from tuners and TV sets. A player installed in close proximity to such equipment may cause noise or degradation of the picture. Noise may be noticeable when an indoor antenna is used. In such cases, make use of an outdoor antenna or turn off power to the player. • When the unit is used in a loud-sound environment, e.g., near a speaker, sound skip may occur. Install the unit away from the speaker or reduce the listening volume. • Place this unit on a level surface and a stable platform. • Do not place heavy objects on top of the unit. Be sure the player, including its audio and power supply cords, does not touch vibrating materials. Any cause of vibration other than the insulators may cause sound skip. Take special care when using the player while it is installed in a carrying case. Do not allow contact with vibrating surfaces. To assure proper heatdissipation, be sure to maintain this open space. Transporting the unit  Never move the unit during playback. During playback, discs rotate at very high speeds; never lift or move the unit during this time to prevent scratches or other damage to discs.  Transporting the unit When moving the unit, always remove any discs that have been loaded, and turn off the power. Moving the unit with a disc loaded could result in damage to the disc or unit. About carrying cases The jog dial is equipped with a delicate switch. If the unit is placed in a carrying case, take precautions to prevent any pressure from being exerted on the surface of the jog dial.
