Dust, fingerprints, or scratches on the disc may cause it to malfunction. • Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or heat sources such as hot air ducts, or leave it in a car parked in direct sunlight as the temperature may rise considerably inside the car. • After playing, store the disc in its case. • Clean the disc with a cleaning cloth. Wipe the disc from the center out. • Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially available disc/ lens cleaners, or anti-static spray intended for vinyl LPs. • If you have printed the disc's label, dry the label before playing. • Do not use the following discs. - A disc that has a nonstandard shape (e.g., card, heart). - A disc with a label or sticker on it. - A disc that has cellophane tape or sticker adhesive on it. • Do not resurface the playing side of a disc to remove surface scratches. Precautions On safety • To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not place objects filled with liquids, such as vases, on the player, or place the player near water, such as near a bathtub or shower room. Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet, unplug the player and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further. • Do not touch the AC power cord with wet hands. Doing so may cause an electric shock. On placement • Place the player in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the player. • Do not place the player on a soft surface such as a rug that might block the ventilation holes. • Do not install this player in a confined space, such as a bookshelf or similar unit. • Do not place the player in a location near heat sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, or mechanical shock. • If the player is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, or is placed in a very damp room, moisture may condense on the lenses inside the player. Should this occur, the player may not operate properly. In this case, remove the disc and leave the player turned on for about half an hour until the moisture evaporates. • Do not install the player in an inclined position. It is designed to be operated in a horizontal position only. • Keep the player and the discs away from equipment with strong magnets, such as microwave ovens, or large loudspeakers. • Do not place heavy or unstable objects on the player. • Do not place any objects other than discs on the disc tray. Doing so may cause damage to the player or the object. • When you move the player, take out any discs. If you don't, the disc may be damaged. • When you move the player, disconnect the AC power cord and all other cables from the player. On power sources • The player is not disconnected from the AC power source as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the player itself has been turned off. • If you are not going to use the player for a long time, be sure to disconnect the player from the wall outlet. To disconnect the AC power cord, grasp the plug itself; never pull the cord. • Observe following points to prevent the AC power cord being damaged. If the AC power cord is damaged, it may result in a fire or an electric shock. - Do not pinch the AC power cord between the player and wall, shelf, etc. - Do not put anything heavy on the AC power cord or pull on the AC power cord itself.
