remote control and on the unit for the same operations
if they have the same or similar names (or marks),
unless mentioned otherwise.
· Basic and common information that is the same for many
functions is grouped in one place, and is not repeated in
each procedure. For instance, we do not repeat the
information about turning on/off the unit and others, which
are explained in the section "Basic Operations" on page 9.
· The following marks are used in this manual:
Gives you warning and caution to prevent

Installation
· Install the unit in a place which is level, dry and neither too
hot nor too cold--between 5°C (41°F) and 35°C (95°F).
· Install the unit in a location with adequate ventilation to
prevent internal heat build-up in the unit.
DO NOT install the unit in a location near
heat sources, or in a place subject to direct
sunlight, excessive dust or vibration.
Power sources
· When unplugging the unit from the wall outlet, always pull
the plug, not the AC power cord.
DO NOT handle the AC power cord with wet
hands.
Moisture condensation
Moisture may condense on the lens inside the unit in the
following cases:
· After starting heating in the room
· In a damp room
· If the unit is brought directly from a cold to a warm place
Should this occur, the unit may malfunction. In this case,
leave the unit turned on for a few hours until the moisture
evaporates, unplug the AC power cord, then plug it in again.
Others
· Should any metallic object or liquid fall into the unit, unplug
the AC power cord and consult your dealer before
operating any further.
· If you are not going to operate the unit for an extended
period of time, unplug the AC power cord from the wall
outlet.

Precautions on Disc Playback and Recording
Playback
This unit has been designed to play back discs bearing the
following logos:
In addition to the above discs, this unit can play back audio
data recorded on CD-G (CD Graphics), CD-Text, CD-Extra
and CD-R/CD-RW (single session) including MP3 tracks
(files).
Notes on playing a CD-R or CD-RW:
· The built-in CD Recorder can play back both finalized and
unfinalized CD-Rs/CD-RWs, however 3-CD Changer
cannot play back unfinalized CD-RWs.
· Either on 3-CD Changer or on CD Recorder, you can play
back CD-Rs or CD-RWs recorded on a personal computer
only if they have been recorded in the CD audio format.
Also 3-CD Changer can play back CD-Rs/CD-RWs (single
session) including MP3 tracks (files).
· Some CD-Rs and CD-RWs may not be played back either
on 3-CD Changer or on CD Recorder because of their disc
characteristics, damage or stains.
Important notice:
· Continuous use of irregular­shaped discs (heart-shape,
octagonal, etc.) can damage the disc rotating mechanism.
· CD-RWs may require a longer read-out time. This is caused
by the fact that the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than for
regular CDs.
· MP3 discs require a longer read-out time. It differs
depending on the complexity of the group/track
configuration.
Audio CD
CD Recordable (CD-R)
CD ReWritable (CD-RW)
Recording

· FOR CONSUMER
· FOR CONSUMER USE
· FOR MUSIC USE ONLY
Make sure the words, DIGITAL AUDIO, is shown on the discs.
The following discs cannot be used for recording:
· Discs bearing logos other than the above.
· Discs intended for professional use.
· Discs intended for recording computer data.
Important notice:
· The manufacturer assumes no liability whatsoever for any
damage resulting from missed opportunity or accidental
erasure that occurs while conducting recording or
playback operations due to malfunctioning of or trouble in
the unit, or for any incidental damage.
· Before recording on a CD-R, it is recommended to make a
test recording using a CD-RW.
· If PCA (Power Calibration Area) or PMA (Program Memory
Area) of the disc is already recorded fully, any further
recording cannot be performed on this disc even though
there are still unused memory spaces on the disc. (See
"Glossary" on page 42.)
· DO NOT subject the unit to any shock or
vibration while recording.
· DO NOT use a dusty or scratched CD-R/
CD-RW for recording; otherwise, you cannot
obtain the satisfactory recording quality.

pre-recorded tapes, records, or discs without the
consent of the owner of copyright in the sound or
