Precautions
On safety
• Should any solid object or liquid fall
into the cabinet, unplug the unit and
have it checked by qualified personnel
before operating it any further.
• Do not hang anything on the unit. The
unit may fall over, causing damage or
serious injury.
• Do not allow children to climb on the
server.
On power sources
• The unit is not disconnected from the
AC power source as long as it is
connected to the wall outlet, even if the
unit itself has been turned off.
• If you are not going to use the unit for
a long time, be sure to disconnect the
unit from the wall outlet. To disconnect
the AC power cord, grasp the plug
itself; never pull the cord.
• This unit is for use only with 120 V AC
power source.
• Check the polarity when inserting
batteries.
On placement
• Place the unit in a horizontally flat
position.
Equal to or less than 1 inch.
• Do not place the unit in a location near
heat sources, or in a place subject to
direct sunlight, excessive dust, or
mechanical shock.
• Keep the unit and the discs away from
equipment with strong magnets, such
as microwave ovens, or large
loudspeakers.
• Do not place heavy objects on the unit.
• Install this unit so that the power cord
can be unplugged from the wall socket
immediately in the event of trouble.
• Do not place objects near the buttons
on the top panel which may cause the
unit to malfunction.
• To avoid tipping over and resulting
injuries, take precautions such as
securing the unit with anti tip-over
device. See page 23 for details.
• When moving the unit, detach the glass
panels and grasp the handles on the
sides. Be sure to move it with two
persons or more.
• Do not install this equipment in a
confined space such as a bookshelf or
similar unit.
• Do not block the ventilation hole,
which will cause a malfunction.
On connection
• Do not connect a phone line to the
Ethernet connector on the unit.
Moisture and flammable
objects
• Do not place any objects on the unit.
The unit should not be exposed to
dripping or splashing and no objects
filled with liquids, such as vases,
should be placed on the unit. If any
liquid or solid object falls through
openings in the cabinet, do not operate
the unit. It may result in electric shock
or damage to the unit.
Have it checked immediately by
qualified service personnel.
• To prevent fire, keep flammable
objects (candles, etc.) and electric
bulbs away from the unit.
On operation
• If the unit is brought directly from a
cold to a warm location, or is placed in
a very damp room, moisture may
condense on the lenses and mechanism
inside the unit. Should this occur, the
unit may not operate properly. If this
happens during disc playback, remove
the disc, turn off the unit, and
disconnect the power cord. Then leave
the unit for about six hours so the
moisture inside the unit evaporates.
• When you move the unit, take out any
discs. If you don’t, the disc may be
damaged.
• Do not manually open or apply
pressure to the front panel, which may
cause a malfunction.
• To prevent any interference by
children, use the Child Lock function
(page 12).
• Do not apply pressure or shock to the
unit, and do not move the unit while
operating to avoid a malfunction.
On adjusting volume
Do not turn up the volume while
listening to a section with very low level
inputs or no audio signals. If you do, the
speakers may be damaged when a peak
level section is played.
A thread
A weight
object
• The unit is designed to be operated in
a horizontal position only.
Install in an upright position on a flat
surface with no more than 2 degrees
tilt in any direction. Weight a thread
and drop it from the edge of the top
panel, and securely install the unit so
the distance from the weight to the
unit bottom is kept within 1 inch.
If the unit is inclined, remove the
obstruction or insert a thin plate, etc,
so the unit is stabilized horizontally.
And then check that the unit is flat
and secured.
If place at an incline, the disc changer
may not work properly and may
cause a malfunction.
• Place the unit in a location with
adequate ventilation to prevent heat
build-up in the server.
• Do not place the unit on a soft surface
such as a rug.
• Place the unit at least 12 inches from
the wall.
• Distance from the glass panels to the
wall should be 1/2 inch or more.
