HOW TO HOLD DISCS
When loading or removing discs, try not to touch their playing surfaces.

DO NOT MOVE THE UNIT DURING PLAYBACK
During playback, the disc rotates at high speed. Do NOT lift or move the unit during playback. Doing so may damage the disc.

For Proper and Long Use of This Unit

WHEN MOVING THE UNIT
When changing places of installation or packing the unit for moving, be sure to remove the disc and return the disc table to its original position in the player. Then, press STANDBY/ON and switch the power to standby. Check that the �--OFF--� indication on the display goes off, then disconnect the power cord. Moving this unit with the disc loaded may result in damage to this unit.

CLEANING
Fingerprints or other dirt on the disc may affect sound and picture quality. To clean your discs, use a soft clean cloth to wipe them. If necessary, moisten a soft cloth with diluted neutral detergent to remove heavy dirt or fingerprints.

INSTALLATION
� Select a stable place to the side of a TV set or stereo system to be connected to the unit. � When using the unit with a stereo system, install the speakers a little bit away from the TV. � Do NOT install the unit on top of a TV or color monitor. Install the unit away from equipment that may be affected by magnetism, such as a cassette deck. � Do NOT place objects on top of the unit.

Do not wipe in a circular direction (Concentric scratches in the disc groove tend to cause noise.)

Gently wipe from the inside toward the outer edge.

AVOID INSTALLING IN A PLACE THAT IS:
� Exposed to direct sunlight � Exposed to humidity or where ventilation is poor � Extremely hot or cold � Exposed to vibration � Exposed to dust � Exposed to oily smoke, steam or heat (for example, a kitchen)

Discs must not be cleaned with record cleaning sprays, or static prevention sprays, etc. Also do not use volatile liquids such as benzine, or thinner, etc.

NEVER PLAY CRACKED OR WARPED DISCS
The disc revolves in the player at high speed when it is played. Never play a cracked, scratched or warped disc. This may damage the player or cause it to malfunction.

DO NOT BLOCK VENTS
Do NOT use the player on top of a long-fibered carpet, bed or sofa, and do not cover it with a cloth, etc. This will prevent heat radiation and could result in damage.

AVOID HEAT
Do NOT place the unit on equipment which generates heat, such as an amplifier. When installing the unit in a rack, place it on the lowest shelf possible (however, not where it is exposed to dust) and separated from the amplifier to avoid the heat generated by the amplifier or other audio equipment.

NEVER USE DISCS WITH SPECIAL SHAPES
CD�s with special shapes (heart-shaped CDs, octagonal CDs, etc.) cannot be played on this set. Attempting to do so may damage the set. Do not use such CDs.

AFTER USING DISCS, STORE THEM UPRIGHT
After playing a disc, always remove it from the player and return it to its jacket. Then store it standing upright away from heat and humidity. � Store discs carefully. If you store discs at an angle, or stacked on top of each other, discs may become warped even when in their jackets. � Do not leave discs in locations such as the seat of a car, which may become excessively hot.

CAUTION: WHEN PLACING THE UNIT IN A STEREO RACK WITH GLASS DOORS
Be sure there is ample space between the unit and the glass doors when opening the disc table using the remote control. If the disc table opens against strong resistance, such as a closed glass door, damage to the unit may result.
