1. PRECAUTIONS

Installation and handling precautions

(1) Opening the transport lock
• Make sure that the transport lock is released and all trans-
port protective materials are removed before turning on the
power. Failure to do so will result in equipment malfunction.
(2) Location of installation
• Do not install the equipment near a source of vibration such
as motor, engine or loudspeaker. They may adversely affect
the equipment performance.
• Do not install the equipment in a place that is exposed to
radiation, X-rays or corrosive gases. This may cause a mal-
function or failure of the equipment.
• If the equipment is to have a fixed installation, we advise
you to give sufficient allowance for space so that extension
and replacement of optional units and other operations such
as replacement and maintenance can be easily performed.
For details, please consult your dealer or nearest JVC-au-
thorized service agent.
• This equipment must be installed on a level surface that is
subject to minimal vibration
(3) Condensation
• If the equipment which has been left in a cold room for a
long period of time and is moved to a warm room or if the
temperature of the room suddenly increases, condensation
may occur on a mobile part, optical pickup or a disc inside
the equipment with a disabling effect. If this occurs, do not
use the equipment for a few hours before starting it again.
(4) Interference with reception of other devices
• When this equipment is used near a radio receiver such as
a radio, television or BS tuner, reception of radio waves on
these devices may experience interference.
(5) Use in a strong radio wave environment
The equipment may not function properly if it is used in a
strong radio wave environment, for example near an illegal
radio station or a broadcasting station. If this happens, please
consult your dealer or nearest JVC-authorized service agent.
(6) Compatible media
Media compatible with the MC-8100U varies depending on
the drive in which it is accommodated. For details, refer to
the instruction manual of the relevant drive.

Disc handling precautions

A disc is made of plastic material which can be easily dam-
aged. If the discs are damaged or become dirty, it may lead to
malfunction such as incorrect data readout. To prevent this han-
dle the discs with care so that they will stay free of damage,
stain, dust/dirt adhesion, warping, etc.
(1) Do not touch the reflective surface (data surface) of a
disc directly with your hand. Be sure to use special care
when handling double-sided discs.
(2) Use commercially available cleaning kits such as a CD
cleaner to remove dust and/or dirt from the disc sur-
face.
• Gently wipe-clean the disc surface without scratching it.
(Make sure to wipe from the centre of the disc towards the
outer edge. Never use a circular motion.)
