Precautions
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits set
out in the EMC Directive using a connection cable shorter than 3 metres.
On power sources
The mains power cable should be routed so that it is not likely to be
walked on or pinched, especially near the plug or back panel receptacle.
The component should not be disconnected from the AC power source as
long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the component itself has
been turned off.
If this component is not going to be used for a long time, be sure to
disconnect the component from the wall outlet. To disconnect the AC pow-
er cable, grasp the plug itself; never pull the cable.
On placement
The CD-77 will become warm during normal operation. Given this, it is
imperative that the installation of the CD-77 DOES NOT interfere with its
proper ventilation.
For example, it should not be situated on a bed, sofa, rug or similar sur-
face that may block the top or bottom ventilation openings; or placed in a
built-in installation, such as a bookcase or cabinet, that may impede the
flow of air through its top and bottom ventilation openings.
Do not place the component in a location near heat sources, or in a place
subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, or mechanical shock. Do not
place the component in an inclined position. It is designed to be operated
in a horizontal position only. Do not place heavy objects on the component.
Keep the component and compact discs away from equipment with
strong magnets, such as microwave ovens or large loudspeakers.
To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not place vessels filled with liq-
uids, such as vases, on the component.
Running-In
AMR estimates that the CD-77 may take between 300-500 operating
hours for all of the internal components to be fully-broken in. Please
anticipate the sonic performance of the CD-77 to settle only after it
has been used for this approximate length of time.
Transporting/Moving the CD-77
Prior to any transportation/movement, ALWAYS remove the CD Clamp
and transport it separately.
Always use the transportation foam which has already been provided.
