INSTALLATION
To keep your player in perfect working order for the
longest possible time, avoid installing the player in
the following locations.
• Wherever it will be exposed to direct sunlight
• Wherever it will be close to a heater or other heat-
radiating appliance
• Wherever the humidity is high or ventilation is poor
• Wherever it is very dusty
• Wherever it will be subject to vibration
• On top of a rickety stand or in an unstable location
which is tilted at an angle
• On top of an amplifier or other component which
dissipates a great deal of heat
• In an audio rack with little space at the top and
bottom or other location where the heat dissipation
will be obstructed
To ensure proper heat dissipation, install the player
while leaving clearances between the player and
wall or other components, as shown in the figure
below.
DO NOT PLACE OBJECTS ON TOP
• Refrain from placing any objects on top of the
player.

CAUTIONS ON HANDLING POWER CORD
• Do not touch the power cord with wet hands.
• When disconnecting the power cord, always make
sure that you take hold of the plug. Yanking out or
bending the cord can damage it and/or cause
electric shocks or a fire.
• Get into the habit of disconnecting the power plug
before leaving home.
DO NOT ATTEMPT REPAIRS YOURSELF
• Refrain from lubricating the player: doing so can
cause malfunctioning.
• Only qualified engineers with specialized expertise
are authorized to repair the pick-up and parts
inside the player.
PRECAUTIONS
• In winter, droplets of water form on the insides of
the windows of a heated room: this is called
condensation. This player uses an optical lens,
so the condensation may form in the following
cases.
- In a room immediately after the heating has
been turned on
- In a room where the humidity level is high
- When the player has been suddenly brought
from a cold location into a warm room
Since, in cases like this, the track numbers may
not be read and the player is prevented from
operating properly, wait about 30 minutes, and then
operate the player.
• This player may cause interference on a tuner or
TV set. If this is the case, place it further away
from the tuner or TV set.
• Compact discs have much less noise than analog
records and hardly any noise is heard before play
starts. Bear in mind, therefore, that if the volume
control on the amplifier is set too high, you will risk
damaging other audio components.
• This player is designed to play Super Audio CD
and normal music CDs only. It cannot play CD-
ROMs used with personal computers, game CDs,
video CDs or DVDs (video/audio).
• We do not recommend the use of lens cleaners.
USING REMOTE CONTROL UNIT
Cautions on handling batteries
Misuse of the batteries can result in electrolyte
leakage, rupturing, corrosion, etc.
Bear in mind the following points when using
batteries.
• Remove the batteries from the remote control
unit if the unit is not going to be used for a
prolonged period (a month or more).
• Do not use an old battery together with a new
one.
• Insert the batteries while ensuring that their
and
poles are properly aligned with
the corresponding markings on the remote
control unit.
• Batteries with the same shape may have
different voltages. Do not use different types
of batteries together.
• If electrolyte has leaked, thoroughly wipe the
inside of the battery compartment, and then
insert new batteries.
• When batteries which are no longer required
are to be discarded, follow the directions
(regulations) laid down by the local authorities
in the area concerned for their disposal.
LOADING BATTERIES
Batteries in this remote control unit have a life of

starting to run down, replace them as soon as
possible.
