Important Notes
291a
In addition to the items listed under “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” on page 3 and 4, please read and observe the following:
Power Supply: Use of Batteries
301
• Do not connect this unit to same electrical outlet that is
being used by an electrical appliance that is controlled by 
an inverter (such as a refrigerator, washing machine, 
microwave oven, or air conditioner), or that contains a 
motor. Depending on the way in which the electrical 
appliance is used, power supply noise may cause this unit 
to malfunction or may produce audible noise. If it is not 
practical to use a separate electrical outlet, connect a power 
supply noise filter between this unit and the electrical 
outlet.
302
• The AC adaptor will begin to generate heat after long
hours of consecutive use. This is normal, and is not a cause 
for concern.
303a
• The use of an AC adaptor is recommended as the unit’s
power consumption is relatively high. Should you prefer to 
use batteries, please use the alkaline type.
304a
• When installing or replacing batteries, always turn off the
power on this unit and disconnect any other devices you 
may have connected. This way, you can prevent 
malfunction and/or damage to speakers or other devices.
307
• Before connecting this unit to other devices, turn off the
power to all units. This will help prevent malfunctions 
and/or damage to speakers or other devices.
Placement
351
• Using the unit near power amplifiers (or other equipment
containing large power transformers) may induce hum. To 
alleviate the problem, change the orientation of this unit; or 
move it farther away from the source of interference.
352a
• This device may interfere with radio and television
reception. Do not use this device in the vicinity of such 
receivers.
352b
• Noise may be produced if wireless communications
devices, such as cell phones, are operated in the vicinity of 
this unit. Such noise could occur when receiving or initi-
ating a call, or while conversing. Should you experience 
such problems, you should relocate such wireless devices 
so they are at a greater distance from this unit, or switch 
them off.
354a
• Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near
devices that radiate heat, leave it inside an enclosed 
vehicle, or otherwise subject it to temperature extremes. 
Excessive heat can deform or discolor the unit.
355b
• When moved from one location to another where the
temperature and/or humidity is very different, water 
droplets (condensation) may form inside the unit. Damage 
or malfunction may result if you attempt to use the unit in 
this condition. Therefore, before using the unit, you must 
allow it to stand for several hours, until the condensation 
has completely evaporated.
360
• Depending on the material and temperature of the surface
on which you place the unit, its rubber feet may discolor or 
mar the surface.
You can place a piece of felt or cloth under the rubber feet 
to prevent this from happening. If you do so, please make 
sure that the unit will not slip or move accidentally.
Maintenance
401a
• For everyday cleaning wipe the unit with a soft, dry cloth
or one that has been slightly dampened with water. To 
remove stubborn dirt, use a cloth impregnated with a mild, 
non-abrasive detergent. Afterwards, be sure to wipe the 
unit thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth.
402
• Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any
kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or defor-
mation.
Additional Precautions
553
• Use a reasonable amount of care when using the unit’s
buttons, sliders, or other controls; and when using its jacks 
and connectors. Rough handling can lead to malfunctions.
554
• Never strike or apply strong pressure to the display.
556
• When connecting / disconnecting all cables, grasp the
connector itself—never pull on the cable. This way you will 
avoid causing shorts, or damage to the cable’s internal 
elements.
558a
• To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the unit’s
volume at reasonable levels. You may prefer to use 
headphones, so you do not need to be concerned about 
those around you (especially when it is late at night).
559a
• When you need to transport the unit, package it in the box
(including padding) that it came in, if possible. Otherwise, 
you will need to use equivalent packaging materials.
562
• Some connection cables contain resistors. Do not use cables
that incorporate resistors for connecting to this unit. The 
use of such cables can cause the sound level to be 
extremely low, or impossible to hear. For information on 
cable specifications, contact the manufacturer of the cable.
