Read this before attempting any operations.
< Do not place any objects on top of the turntable cover. They may
create noise due to vibrations or fall, especially during playback.
< When the unit is turned on, switching on the TV may cause lines
to appear on the TV screen, depending on the condition of the
electric waves of the TV broadcast. This is not malfunction in the
unit or the TV. In this case, turn off the unit.
< The nominal temperature should be between 5°C and 35°C (41°F
and 95°F). The CD-RW recorder is more sensitive to extremes of
temperature than ordinary CD players.
< Relative humidity should be 30 to 90 degrees non-condensing.
< As the unit may become warm during operation, always leave
sufficient space around the unit for ventilation.
< The voltage supplied to the unit should match the voltage as
printed on the rear panel. If you are in any doubt regarding this
matter, consult an electrician.
< Choose the installation location of your unit carefully. Avoid
placing it in direct sunlight or close to a source of heat. Also avoid
locations subject to vibrations and excessive dust, heat, cold or
moisture.
< Do not place the unit on an amplifier/receiver.
< Do not open the cabinet as this might result in damage to the
circuitry or electrical shock. If a foreign object should get into the
unit, contact your dealer or service company.
< When removing the power plug from the wall outlet, always pull
directly on the plug, never yank on the cord.
< Do not attempt to clean the unit with chemical solvents as this
might damage the finish. Use a clean, dry cloth.
< Keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.
