INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS
The CD player uses a microcomputer for controlling internal electronic
circuits, In the event that the player is used while a near-by tuner or TV is
turned on, although unlikely, interference could occur either in the sound
from the tuner or the picture of the TV. To avoid this, please take the
following precautions.
e Keep the CD player as far away from the tuner or TV set as possible.
e Keep the power cable and connecting cabie of the CD player separate
from the antenna wires of the tuner and TV.
e Interference is particular likely to occur when an indoor antenna or a
300-ohm feeder cable is used. Thus, use of an outdoor antenna and
75-ohm coaxial cable is strongly recommended. :
