4 Ventilation - The unit should be situated with adequate
space around it so that proper heat ventilation is
assured. Allow 10 cm (4 in.) clearance from the rear
and the top of the unit, and 5 cm (2 in.) from each side.
- Do not place the unit on a bed, rug, or similar surface
that may block the ventilation openings.
- Do not install the unit in a bookcase, cabinet, or airtight
rack where ventilation may be impeded.
5 Objects and liquid entry - Take care that objects or
liquids do not get inside the unit through the ventilation
openings.
6 Carts and stands - When placed or
mounted on a stand or cart, the unit
should be moved with care.
Quick stops, excessive force, and
uneven surfaces may cause the unit
and cart to overturn or fall.
7 Condensation - Moisture may form on the CD pickup
lens when:
- The unit is moved from a cold spot to a warm spot
- The heating system has just been turned on
- The unit is used in a very humid room
- The unit is cooled by an air conditioner
When this unit has condensation inside, it may not
function normally. Should this occur, leave the unit for
a few hours, then try to operate again.
8 Wall or ceiling mounting - The unit should not be
mounted on a wall or ceiling, unless specified in the
Operating Instructions.
Electric Power
1 Power Sources - Connect this unit only to power
sources specified in the Operating Instructions, and as
marked on the unit.
2 Polarization - As a safety feature, some units are
equipped with polarized AC power plugs which can only
be inserted one way into a power outlet. If it is difficult
or impossible to insert the AC power plug into an outlet,
turn the plug over and try again. If it still does not easily
insert into the outlet, please call a qualified service
technician to service or replace the outlet. To avoid
defeating the safety feature of the polarized plug, do
not force it into a power outlet.
3 AC power cord
- When disconnecting the AC power cord, pull it out by
the AC power plug. Do not pull the cord itself.
- Never handle the AC power plug with wet hands, as
this could result in fire or shock.
- Power cords should be routed to avoid being severely
bent, pinched, or walked upon. Pay particular attention
to the cord from the unit to the power socket.
- Avoid overloading AC outlets and extension cords
beyond their capacity, as this could result in fire or
shock.
4 Extension cord - To help prevent electric shock, do
not use a polarized AC power plug with an extension
cord, receptacle, or other outlet unless the polarized
plug can be completely inserted to prevent exposure of
the blades of the plug.
5 When not in use - Unplug the AC power cord from the
AC outlet if the unit will not be used for several months
or more. When the cord is plugged in, a small amount
of current continues to flow to the unit, even when the
power is turned off.

CLEANING THE CABINET
Use a soft, dry cloth. If the surfaces are extremely dirty,
use a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild detergent
solution. Do not use strong solvents, such as alcohol,
benzine or thinner, as these might damage the surface of
the unit.
STORING DISCS
After recording or playing, store the disc in its case.
Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or sources of heat,
or leave it in a parked car exposed to direct sunlight, as
temperature may rise considerably inside the car.
CARE OF DISCS
· Discs can be scratched. Handle them carefully.
· When a disc becomes dirty, wipe it from the center out
with a soft cleaning cloth.
Do not use strong solvents such as alcohol, benzine,
thinner, commercially available cleaners or anti-static spray
intended for analog records.
REMOTE CONTROL
Inserting batteries
Detach the battery cover on the rear of the remote control
and insert two R6 (size AA) batteries.
Load the batteries as illustrated.
R6(size AA)
When to replace the batteries
The maximum operational distance between the remote
control and the sensor on the main unit should be
approximately 7 meters (23 feet). When this distance
decreases, replace the batteries with new ones.
Using the shared buttons
The remote control is designed to operate both of the CD
decks of the unit. Some buttons are dedicated to one
specific CD deck, while others are shared between the
two decks.
To use shared buttons, such as
c, s, a, f, g, r,
t, PRGM, PRGM CHECK, RANDOM, REPEAT, A
B
and numbered, first press either CD/SEL to control the
play deck or CD-R/RW/SEL to control the record deck.
When CD/SEL or CD-R/RW/SEL is pressed, "CDP" or
"CDR" will appear on the appropriate information display
to confirm the selection.
NOTE
· If the remote control is not going to be used for an
extended period of time, remove the batteries to prevent
possible electrolyte leakage.
· The remote control may not operate correctly when:
- The line of sight between the remote control and the
remote sensor (located on the front panel) is exposed
to intense light, such as direct sunlight
- Other remote controls are used nearby (television, etc.)
