Placement of the unit
High-quality hardened tool steel is used for the pin-point feet,
securely attached to the bottom of the unit. Although the outer
feet may appear loose, the weight of the unit causes them to
become firm and secure. The design effectively damps and reduces
vibration.
To protect the supporting furniture surface, you may stick the felt
pads supplied with the unit to the bottom of the metal feet.

As the unit may become warm during operation, always leave
sufficient space around the unit for ventilation.
Make sure there is at least 8"/20 cm of space above and at least
2"/5 cm of space on each side of the unit. Do not place anything

Do not place the unit on an amplifier or receiver or any other

When the unit is turned on, switching on the TV may cause lines

electric waves of the TV broadcast. This is not malfunction in the
unit or the TV. If you see such lines, keep this unit well away from
the TV set.
CAUTION
Do not move the unit during playback.
During playback, the disc rotates at high speed. Do not lift or
move the unit during playback. Doing so may damage the disc
or the unit.
The voltage supplied to the unit should match the voltage as
printed on the rear panel. If you are in any doubt regarding this
matter, consult an electrician.
Do not open the cabinet as this might result in damage to the
circuitry or cause electric shock. If a foreign object should get into
the unit, contact your dealer or service company.
When removing the power plug from the wall outlet, always pull
directly on the plug, never yank on the cord.
Always remove the disc before relocating or moving this unit.
Moving the unit with a disc inside could cause malfunction.
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.
For safety, disconnect the power cord from the socket before
cleaning.
Never spray liquid directly on this unit.
Do not use thinner, benzene or alcohol as they could damage the
surface of the unit.
Avoid allowing rubber or plastic materials to touch this product for
long periods of time, because they could damage the cabinet.
Beware of condensation
When the unit is moved from a cold to a warm place, or used after a
sudden temperature change, there is a danger of condensation on
the lens of CD/SACD player; vapor in the air could condense on the
internal mechanism, making correct operation impossible. To prevent
this, or if this occurs, leave the unit turned on for one or two hours.
Then the unit will stabilize at the temperature of its surroundings.
