1 Before You Start
Hints on installation
We want you to enjoy using this unit for years to come, so please
bear in mind the following points when choosing a suitable
location for it:
Do...
Use in a well-ventilated room.
Place on a solid, flat, level surface, such as a table, shelf or
stereo rack.
Don't...
# Use in a place exposed to high temperatures or humidity,
including near radiators and other heat-generating
appliances.
# Place on a window sill or other place where the player will
be exposed to direct sunlight.
# Use in an excessively dusty or damp environment.
# Place directly on top of an amplifier, or other component in
your stereo system that becomes hot in use.
# Use near a television or monitor as you may experience
interference -- especially if the television uses an indoor
antenna.
# Use in a kitchen or other room where the player may be
exposed to smoke or steam.
# Use on a thick rug or carpet, or cover with cloth--this may
prevent proper cooling of the unit.

how to install and connect up the recorder to the rest of your
system.
In the second section of the manual, starting on page 10, you'll
learn how to use the various features of the recorder. The final part
of the manual provides a list of display messages, a troubleshooting
section, and technical specifications.
Putting the batteries in the remote
1 Turn over the remote control, then press and slide the
battery compartment cover off.
2 Put in the batteries supplied, taking care to match the plus
and minus ends of
each battery with the

3 Slide the cover back
on, and your remote
is ready for use.
Caution!
Incorrect use of batteries can
result in hazards such as
leakage and bursting. Please
observe the following:
· Don't mix new and old batteries together
· Don't use different kinds of battery together--although they
may look similar, different batteries may have different
voltages.
· Make sure that the plus and minus ends of each battery
match the indications in the battery compartment.
· Remove batteries from equipment that isn't going to be used
for a month or more.
· When disposing of used batteries, please comply with
governmental regulations or environmental public
instruction's rules that apply in your country or area.
