CD3N User's Manual

11

The CD3N’s stabilizer is heavy, with a diameter 

of  1cm  and  weighing  370g.  Hold  the  edge 
steadily when you place it on or remove it from the 
turntable. Dropping the stabilizer may damage it 
and decrease playback accuracy, so handle with 
care. 

Turntable

Place a compact disc on the turntable, and place 
the stabilizer on top of the disc. The stabilizer 
can be left on the

 

turntable when not in use, even 

when no disc is in place.

Optical Laser Pickup

The optical laser pickup reads signals from the compact disc. To keep it clean never touch the 

pickup with your fingers, etc.
