Notes on Operation
To minimize the need for servicing and maintain
the high quality of this product, do not place the
main unit in the following locations:
· In a position subject to high humidity or consid-
erable dust
· On an uneven or unstable surface
· Near a heat source
· Near a computer, fluorescent light or other elec-
tric appliance
· In a small room with insufficient ventilation
· In a position exposed to direct sunlight
· In a position exposed to excessive cold
· In a position exposed to strong vibration
· Near a TV, amplifier, or tuner
· Near a magnetic source
CAUTION
· The operating temperature of this product is 5
°C to
35
°C. Use in temperatures outside this range may
cause a malfunction or damage the product.
Under the following conditions, you may not be
able to operate this product properly due to con-
densation formed on the lens of the main unit:
· When you have just started an air conditioner to
warm your room
· When you have placed the main unit at an area
with high humidity
· When you have moved the main unit from a cold
place to a warm place
When condensation forms, leave the main unit
turned on, wait for approximately 1 or 2 hours, and
then operate the main unit.
When the operation panel becomes dirty, dust it
with a soft dry cloth. When the operation panel is
very dirty, wipe it with a cloth dampened with a
small amount of a neutral detergent, and then wipe
it with a soft dry cloth.
CAUTION
· Do not wipe the operation panel with thinners, ben-
zenes or other chemical agents. Do not spray
insecticides onto the operation panel. These may
cause discoloration and damage to the surface.
When using headphones, keep the volume at a
moderate level so as not to over-stimulate your
ears.
When enjoying sound from the speakers,
adjust the volume to a suitable level to
avoid disturbing your neighbors.
Even low-volume sound carries a long way,
especially at night. Show consideration to
your neighbors by closing windows or using
headphones.
Use a CD/a CD-R/a CD-RW whose letter-
printed surface shows the
,
or
logo. This product does not play back DVDs
or video CDs.
You can play back a CD-R/a CD-RW only
when the disc is finalized.
· You can play back a CD-R/a CD-RW
which has been recorded in the audio CD
and MP3 formats.
However, playback is impossible in some
cases due to the disc characteristics,
recording condition, scratches or dirt on
the disc, or dirt or condensation on the
lens.
· Before using a CD-R/a CD-RW, carefully
read the cautions regarding the disc.
· This product does not support CD text
display of sound files such as MP3s.
· To play back a CD-RW on this product,
erase all tracks if the CD-RW was
recorded in a format other than the audio
and MP3 CD formats. Using the CD-RW
without erasing all tracks may result in
damage to the speakers or other parts
caused by sudden loud volume.
