CAUTIONS REGARDING
HANDLING
Location
Install the player in a well-ventilated location where it will not be
exposed to high temperatures or humidity.
Do not install the player in a location which is exposed to direct sunlight,
or near stoves or radiators. Excessive heat can adversely affect the
cabinet and internal components. Installation of the player in a damp or
dusty environment may aiso result in a malfunction and can be
hazardous. Avoid installation near cookers etc., where the player may be
exposed to oily smoke, steam or heat.
Installation guidelines
÷ Placing and using the compact disc player for long periods on heat-
generating sources such as amplifiers or near spotlights, etc. will
affect product performance. Avoid placing the player on heat-
generating sources.
÷ Install this compact disc player as far as possible away from tuners
and TV sets. A compact disc player installed in close proximity to
such equipment may cause noise or degradation of the picture.
÷ Noise may be noticeable when an indoor antenna is used. In such
cases, make use of an outdoor antenna or turn off power to the
compact disc player.
÷ When the unit is used in a loud-sound environment, e.g., near a
speaker, sound skip may occur. Install the unit away from the
speaker or reduce the listening volume.
÷ Place this unit on a level surface and a stable platform.
÷ Be sure the player, including its audio and power supply cords, does
not touch vibrating materials. Any cause of vibration other than the
insulators may cause the disc to skip. Take special care when using
the player while it is installed in a carrying case.
