sure to disconnect the player from the wall outlet. To  
disconnect the AC power cord (mains lead), grasp the plug  
itself; never pull the cord.  
Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or heat sources  
such as hot air ducts, nor leave it in a car parked in direct  
sunlight as there can be considerable rise in temperature  
inside the car.  
AC power cord must be changed only at the qualified  
service shop.  
On placement  
After removing a disc from the disc slot, store the disc in its  
case.  
Place the player in a location with adequate ventilation to  
prevent heat build-up in the player.  
Do not place the player on a soft surface such as a rug that  
might block the ventilation holes on the bottom.  
Do not place the player in a location near heat sources, or in  
a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust or  
mechanical shock.  
On cleaning  
Before playing, clean the disc with a cleaning cloth. Wipe  
the disc from the center out.  
On operation  
If the player is brought directly from a cold to a warm  
location, or is placed in a very damp room, moisture may  
condense on the lenses inside the player. Should this occur,  
the player may not operate properly. In this case, leave the  
player turned on for about an hour until the moisture  
evaporates.  
Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially  
available cleaners or anti-static spray intended for vinyl  
LPs.  
On adjusting volume  
Do not turn up the volume while listening to a portion with  
very low level inputs or no audio signals. If you do, the  
speakers may be damaged when a peak level portion is  
played.  
On cleaning  
Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft cloth  
slightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not  
use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent  
such as alcohol or benzine.
