WARNING
BEFORE PLUGGING IN THE UNIT FOR THE FIRST TIME, READ
THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY.
The voltage of the available power supply differs accord-
ing to country or region. Be sure that the power supply
voltage of the area where this unit will be used meets the
required voltage (e.g., AC 120 V, 60 Hz) written on the rear
panel.
3. Do not touch this unit with wet hands
Do not handle this unit or power cord when your hands
are wet or damp. If water or any other liquid enters the
case, take this unit to an authorized service center for in-
spection.
4. Location of this unit
Place this unit in a well-ventilated location.
Take special care to provide plenty of ventilation on all
sides of this unit especially when it is placed in an audio
rack. If ventilation is blocked, this unit may overheat and
malfunction.
Do not expose this unit to direct sunlight or heating units
as this unit's internal temperature may rise and shorten
the life of the pickup.
Avoid damp and dusty places and places directly af-
fected by vibrations from the speakers. In particular, avoid
placing the unit on or above one of the speakers.
Be sure this unit is placed in a horizontal position. Never
place it on its side or on a slanted surface as it may mal-
function.
Do not place near tuners or TV sets.
If placed next to a TV or tuner, it may cause reception
interference resulting in some noise in the TV or tuner out-
put.
5. Care
From time to time you should wipe the front and rear pan-
els 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 chemi-
cal solvents or cloths since these could damage the finish
or remove the panel lettering.
6. Points to remember
If this unit is brought from a cold environment to a warm
one or is in a cold room that is quickly heated, condensa-
tion may form on the pickup, preventing proper opera-
tion. In this case, remove the disc and leave the power
ON for about one hour to remove the condensation.
When transporting this unit, be careful not to bump it.
Always close the disc tray when not loading or unloading
discs to protect delicate internal parts from dust.

Memory Preservation
This unit does not require memory preservation batter-
ies. A built-in memory power back-up system preserves
the contents of memory during power failures and even
when the Power button is set to Off.
The Power button must be set to On in order to charge
the back-up system. The memory preservation period
after the unit has been turned off varies depending on
climate and placement of the unit. On average,
memory contents are protected over a period of a few
weeks after the time the unit has been turned off. This
period is shorter when the unit is exposed to a very hu-
mid climate.
