Important Safeguards
1. Read Instructions ­ All the safety and operating
instructions should be read before the appliance is
operated.
2. Retain Instructions ­ The safety and operating
instructions should be retained for future reference.
3. Heed Warnings ­ All warnings on the appliance and in
the operating instructions should be adhered to.
4. Follow Instructions ­ All operating and use instructions
should be followed.
5. Cleaning ­ Unplug the appliance from the wall outlet
before cleaning. The appliance should be cleaned only
as recommended by the manufacturer.
6. Attachments ­ Do not use attachments not
recommended by the appliance manufacturer as they
may cause hazards.
7. Water and Moisture ­ Do not use the appliance near
water ­ for example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen
sink, or laundry tub; in a wet basement; or near a
swimming pool; and the like.
8. Accessories ­ Do not place the appliance on an
unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The
appliance may fall, causing serious injury to a child or
adult, and serious damage to the appliance. Use only
with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended
by the manufacturer, or sold with the appliance. Any
mounting of the appliance should follow the
manufacturer's instructions, and
should use a mounting accessory
recommended by the manufacturer.
9. An appliance and cart combination
should be moved with care. Quick
stops, excessive force, and uneven
surfaces may cause the appliance
and cart combination to overturn.
10. Ventilation ­ Slots and openings in the cabinet are
provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation
of the appliance and to protect it from overheating, and
these openings must not be blocked or covered. The
openings should never be blocked by placing the
appliance on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface.
The appliance should not be placed in a built-in
installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper
ventilation is provided. There should be free space of at
least 20 cm (8 in.) and an opening behind the appliance.
11. Power Sources ­ The appliance should be operated
only from the type of power source indicated on the
marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power
supply to your home, consult your appliance dealer or
local power company.
12. Grounding or Polarization ­ The appliance may be
equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a
plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug
will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety
feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the
outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to
fit, contact your electrician to replace your outlet. Do not
defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
13. Power-Cord Protection ­ Power-supply cords should be
routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched
by items placed upon or against them, paying particular
attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and
the point where they exit from the appliance.
14. Outdoor Antenna Grounding ­ If an outside antenna or cable
system is connected to the appliance, be sure the antenna or
cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection
against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810
of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides
information with regard to proper grounding of the mast and
supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an
antenna-discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location
of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes,
and requirements for the grounding electrode. See FIGURE
1.
15. Lightning ­ For added protection for the appliance during a
lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for
long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and
disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent
damage to the appliance due to lightning and power-line
surges.
16. Power Lines ­ An outside antenna system should not be
located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric
light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power
lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system,
extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such
power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.
17. Overloading ­ Do not overload wall outlets, extension
cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can result
in a risk of fire or electric shock.
18. Object and Liquid Entry ­ Never push objects of any kind
into the appliance through openings as they may touch
dangerous voltage points or short-out parts that could result
in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on
the appliance.
19. Servicing ­ Do not attempt to service the appliance
yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to
dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to
qualified service personnel.
20. Damage Requiring Service ­ Unplug the appliance form
the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service
personnel under the following conditions:
A. When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged,
B. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the
appliance,
C. If the appliance has been exposed to rain or water,
D. If the appliance does not operate normally by following
the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that
are covered by the operating instructions as an improper
adjustment of other controls may result in damage and
will often require extensive work by a qualified technician
to restore the appliance to its normal operation,
E. If the appliance has been dropped or damaged in any
way, and
F. When the appliance exhibits a distinct change in

by vibrations from the speakers. In particular, avoid
placing the unit on or above one of the speakers.
· Be sure the unit is placed in a horizontal position. Never
place it on its side or on a slanted surface as it may
malfunction.
· When you place the unit near a TV, radio, or VCR, the
playback picture may become poor and the sound may
be distorted. In this case, place the unit away from the
TV, radio, or VCR.
8. Care
From time to time you should wipe the front and rear panels
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
chemical solvents or cloths since these could damage the
finish or remove the panel lettering.
9. Notes on Handling
· When shipping the unit, use the original shipping carton
and packing materials. For maximum protection, repack
the unit as it was originally packed at the factory.
· Do not use volatile liquids, such as insect spray, near the
unit. Do not leave rubber or plastic products in contact
with the unit for a long time. They will leave marks on the
finish.
· The top and rear panels of the unit may become warm
after a long period of use. This is not a malfunction.
· When the unit is not in use, be sure to remove the disc
and turn off the power.
· If you do not use the unit for a long period, the unit may
not function properly in the future. Turn on and use the
unit occasionally.
10. To Obtain a Clear Picture
The unit is a high technology, precision device. If the optical
pick-up lens and disc drive parts are dirty or worn down,
the picture quality becomes poor. To obtain a clear picture,
we recommend regular inspection and maintenance
(cleaning or parts replacement) every 1,000 hours of use
depending on the operating environment. For details,
contact your nearest dealer.
11. Notes on Moisture Condensation
Moisture condensation damages the unit.
Please read the following carefully.
· What is moisture condensation?
Moisture condensation occurs, for example, when you

water form on the outside of the glass. In the same way,
moisture may condense on the optical pick-up lens inside
the unit, one of the most crucial internal parts of the unit.
· Moisture condensation occurs in the following cases.
­ When you bring the unit directly from a cold place to a
warm place.
­ When you use the unit in a room where you just turned
on the heater, or a place where the cold wind from the
air conditioner directly hits the unit.
­ In summer, when you use the unit in a hot and humid
place just after you move the unit from an air conditioned
room.
­ When you use the unit in a humid place.
· Do not use the unit when moisture condensation may
occur.
If you use the unit in such a situation, it may damage
discs and internal parts. Remove the disc, connect the
power cord of the unit to the wall outlet, turn on the unit,
and leave it for two or three hours. After a few hours, the
unit will have warmed up and evaporated any moisture.
Keep the unit connected to the wall outlet and moisture
condensation will seldom occur.
