Read Instructions ­ All the safety and operating instructions
should be read before the appliance is operated.
2.
Retain Instructions ­ The safety and operating instructions
should be retained for future reference.
3.
Heed Warnings ­ All warnings on the appliance and in the
operating instructions should be adhered to.
4.
Follow Instructions ­ All operating and use instructions
should be followed.
5.
Cleaning ­ Unplug the appliance from the wall outlet
before cleaning. The appliance should be cleaned only as
recommended by the manufacturer.
6.
Attachments ­ Do not use attachments not recommended
by the appliance manufacturer as they may cause
hazards.

Water and Moisture ­ Do not use the appliance near water
­for example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or
laundry tub; in a wet basement; or near a swimming pool;
and the like.
8.
Accessories ­ Do not place the appliance on an unstable
cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The appliance may
fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult, and serious
damage to the appliance. Use only with a cart, stand,
tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the
manufacturer, or sold with the appliance. Any mounting of
the appliance should follow the manufacturer's
instructions, and should use a mounting accessory
recommended by the manufacturer.

An appliance and cart
combination should be
moved with care. Quick stops,
excessive force, and uneven
surfaces may cause the
appliance and cart
combination to overturn.
10. Ventilation ­ Slots and openings in the cabinet are
provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of
the appliance and to protect it from overheating, and
these openings must not be blocked or covered. The
openings should never be blocked by placing the
appliance on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. The
appliance should not be placed in a built-in installation
such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is
provided. There should be free space of at least 5 cm and
an opening behind the appliance.
11. Power Sources ­ The appliance should be operated only
from the type of power source indicated on the marking
label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to
your home, consult your appliance dealer or local power
company.
12. Grounding or Polarization ­ The appliance may be
equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a
plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will
fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety
feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the

particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience
receptacles, and the point where they exit from the
appliance.
14. Lightning ­ For added protection for the appliance during
a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused
for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and
disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent
damage to the appliance due to lightning and power-line
surges.
15. Overloading ­ Do not overload wall outlets, extension
cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can
result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
16. Object and Liquid Entry ­ Never push objects of any kind
into the appliance through openings as they may touch
dangerous voltage points or short-out parts that could
result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind
on the appliance.
17. Servicing ­ Do not attempt to service the appliance
yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to

the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service
personnel under the following conditions:
A. When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged,
B. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the
appliance,
C. If the appliance has been exposed to rain or water,
D. If the appliance does not operate normally by following
the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls
that are covered by the operating instructions as an
improper adjustment of other controls may result in
damage and will often require extensive work by a
qualified technician to restore the appliance to its
normal operation,
E. If the appliance has been dropped or damaged in any
way, and
F. When the appliance exhibits a distinct change in
performance ­ this indicates a need for service.
19. Replacement Parts ­ When replacement parts are
required, be sure the service technician has used
replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or have
the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized
substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other
hazards.

6.
Do not touch the unit with wet hands
Do not handle the unit or power cord when your hands are
wet or damp. If water or any other liquid enters the case,
take the unit to an authorized service center for inspection.
7. Location of the unit
· Place the unit in a well-ventilated location.
Take special care to provide plenty of ventilation on all
sides of the unit especially when it is placed in an audio
rack. If ventilation is blocked, the unit may overheat and
malfunction.
· Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight or heating units
as the unit's internal temperature may rise and shorten
the life of the pickup.
· Avoid damp and dusty places and places directly
affected by vibrations from the speakers. In particular,
avoid placing the unit on or above one of the speakers.
· Be sure the unit is placed in a horizontal position. Never
place it on its side or on a slanted surface as it may
malfunction.
· When you place the unit near a TV, radio, or VCR, the
playback picture may become poor and the sound may
be distorted. In this case, place the unit away from the TV,
radio, or VCR.
8. Care
From time to time you should wipe the front and rear
panels and the cabinet with a soft cloth. For heavier dirt,
dampen a soft cloth in a weak solution of mild detergent
and water, wring it out dry, and wipe off the dirt. Following
this, dry immediately with a clean cloth.
Do not use rough material, thinners, alcohol or other
chemical solvents or cloths since these could damage the
finish or remove the panel lettering.
9. Notes on Handling
· When shipping the unit, use the original shipping carton
and packing materials. For maximum protection, repack
the unit as it was originally packed at the factory.
· Do not use volatile liquids, such as insect spray, near the
unit. Do not leave rubber or plastic products in contact
with the unit for a long time. They will leave marks on the
finish.
· The top and rear panels of the unit may become warm
after a long period of use. This is not a malfunction.
· When the unit is not in use, be sure to remove the disc
and turn off the power.
· If you do not use the unit for a long period, the unit may
not function properly in the future. Turn on and use the
unit occasionally.
10. To Obtain a Clear Picture
The unit is a high technology, precision device. If the optical
pick-up lens and disc drive parts are dirty or worn down,
the picture quality becomes poor. To obtain a clear
picture, we recommend regular inspection and
maintenance (cleaning or parts replacement) every 1,000
hours of use depending on the operating environment. For
details, contact your nearest dealer.
11. Notes on Moisture Condensation
Moisture condensation damages the unit.
Please read the following carefully.
· What is moisture condensation?
Moisture condensation occurs, for example, when you
pour a cold drink into a glass on a warm day. Drops of
water form on the outside of the glass. In the same way,
moisture may condense on the optical pick-up lens
inside the unit, one of the most crucial internal parts of
the unit.
· Moisture condensation occurs in the following cases.
­ When you bring the unit directly from a cold place to
a warm place.
­ When you use the unit in a room where you just turned
on the heater, or a place where the cold wind from
the air conditioner directly hits the unit.
­ In summer, when you use the unit in a hot and humid
place just after you move the unit from an air
conditioned room.
­ When you use the unit in a humid place.
· Do not use the unit when moisture condensation may
occur.
If you use the unit in such a situation, it may damage
discs and internal parts. Remove the disc, connect the
power cord of the unit to the wall outlet, turn on the unit,
and leave it for two or three hours. After a few hours, the
unit will have warmed up and evaporated any moisture.
Keep the unit connected to the wall outlet and moisture
condensation will seldom occur.
