Memory Preservation
This unit does not require memory preservation
batteries. A built-in memory power back-up sys-
tem preserves the contents of the memory dur-
ing power failures and even when the unit is
unplugged. The unit must be plugged-in in or-
der to charge the back-up system.
The memory preservation period after the unit
has been unplugged varies depending on cli-
mate and placement of the unit. On the aver-
age, memory contents are protected over a pe-
riod of a few weeks after the last time the unit
was unplugged. This period is shorter when the
unit is exposed to a highly humid climate.

WARNING
BEFORE PLUGGING IN THE UNIT FOR THE FIRST
TIME, READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CARE-
FULLY.
The voltage of the available power supply differs
according to country or region. Be sure that the
power supply voltage of the area where this unit
will be used meets the required voltage (e.g., AC
230 V, 50 Hz or AC 120 V, 60 Hz) written on the
rear panel.
Turning off the standby button does not shut off
the power completely. So the power cord should
be removed from the AC outlet when the unit is
not used for a prolonged time.
4. Do not touch this unit with wet hands
Do not handle this unit or power cord when your
hands are wet or damp. If water or any other liq-
uid enters the case, take this unit to an authorized
service center for inspection.
5. Location of this unit
Place this unit in a well-ventilated location.
Take special care to provide plenty of ventilation
on all sides of this unit especially when it is placed
in an audio rack. If ventilation is blocked, this unit
may overheat and malfunction.
Do not expose this unit to direct sunlight or heat-
ing units as this unit's internal temperature may
rise and shorten the life of the pickup.
Avoid damp and dusty places and places directly
affected by vibrations from the speakers. In par-
ticular, avoid placing the unit on or above one of
the speakers.
Be sure this unit is placed in a horizontal position.
Never place it on its side or on a slanted surface as
it may malfunction.
Do not place near tuners or TV sets.
If placed next to a TV or tuner, it may cause recep-
tion interference resulting in some noise in the TV
or tuner output.
6. Care
From time to time you should wipe the front and
rear panels and the cabinet with a soft cloth. For
heavier dirt, dampen a soft cloth in a weak solu-
tion of mild detergent and water, wring it out dry,
and wipe off the dirt. Following this, dry immedi-
ately with a clean cloth.
Do not use rough material, thinners, alcohol or
other chemical solvents or cloths since these could
damage the finish or remove the panel lettering.
7. Points to remember
If this unit is brought from a cold environment to
a warm one or is in a cold room that is quickly
heated, condensation may form on the pickup,
preventing proper operation. In this case, remove
the disc and leave the power ON for about one
hour to remove the condensation.
When transporting this unit, be careful not to
bump it.
