Precautions for use
o Do not place anything on the dust cover. Objects on the
cover might cause noise due to vibrations or fall off, espe-
cially during playback.
o Avoid placing the unit in direct sunlight, close to a source
of heat or in other similar conditions. Do not place the unit
on top of an amplifier or other equipment that might gen-
erate heat that exceeds the operating temperature range of
this unit. Doing so could cause discoloration, deformation
or malfunction.
o As the unit could become warm during operation, always
leave sufficient space around it for ventilation. When
installing this unit, leave a little space (at least 20cm (8"))
between it and other devices and walls to allow good heat
dissipation.
When placing it in a rack, for example, leave at least 35cm
(133/4") open above it and 10cm (4") open behind it.
Failure to provide these gaps could cause heat to build up
inside and result in fire.
o DO NOT MOVE THE UNIT DURING PLAYBACK. During play-
back, the record rotates. Do not lift or move the unit during
playback. Doing so may damage the record, the stylus, the
cartridge or the unit.
o Always remove the record before relocating or moving this
unit. Moving the unit with a record on the turntable (plat-
ter) could damage the record, the stylus and the cartridge
or could cause a malfunction.
o The voltage supplied to the unit should match the voltage
as printed on the rear panel. If you are in any doubt regard-
ing this matter, consult an electrician.
Maintenance
If the surface of the unit gets dirty, wipe it with a soft cloth or
use diluted mild liquid soap. Allow the surface of the unit to dry
completely before using.
o Do not use chemical cleaning cloths, thinner or similar sub-
stances as they could damage the surface of the unit.
V
CAUTION
For safety, disconnect the power cord from the socket before
cleaning.
