Finding a suitable location
We want you to enjoy using your new stereo system for years to
come, so please bear in mind the following points when
choosing a suitable location for the system components and
speakers:
Do...
Use in a well-ventilated room.
Place on a solid, flat, level surface, such as a table, shelf or
stereo rack.
Don't...
Use in a place exposed to high temperatures or humidity,
including near radiators and other heat-generating appliances.
Place on a window sill or other place where any of the
components or speakers will be exposed to direct sunlight.
Use in an excessively dusty or damp environment.
Place directly on top of any appliance which becomes hot in use.
Use near a television or monitor as you may experience
interference--especially if the television uses an indoor
antenna.
Use in a kitchen or other room where the unit may be exposed
to smoke or steam.
Place on an unstable surface, or one that is not large enough to
support all four of the unit's feet, or the whole footprint of each
speaker.
Block the cooling fan on the rear of the unit. Don't cover the
unit with cloth, or use on thick carpet, etc.
Put objects on top of the speakers.
Using the remote control
Keep in mind the
following when
using the remote
control unit:
· Make sure that there
are no obstacles in
between the remote
and the remote
sensor on the unit.
· Use within the
operating range and
angle, as shown in
the diagram at right.
· Remote operation
may become
unreliable if strong
sunlight or fluorescent light is shining on the unit's remote
sensor.
· Remote controllers for different devices can interfere with each
other. Avoid using remotes for other equipment located nearby
this unit.
· Replace the batteries when you notice a fall off in the operating
range of the remote.

Before you start
Avoiding condensation
problems
Condensation may form inside the unit if it is brought into a
warm room from outside, or if the temperature of the room rises
quickly. Although the condensation won't damage the unit, it
may temporarily impair its performance. For this reason you
should leave it to adjust to the warmer temperature for about an
hour before switching on and using.
Moving the system unit
If you need to move the system unit, first switch it off and
unplug from the wall outlet. Never lift or move the unit during
playback--discs rotate at a high speed and may be damaged.
Discs compatible with this
system
Any disc with the following logo should play in this system.
Other formats, including CD-RW, DVD, CD-ROM, VIDEO CD,
SACD and Photo CD will not play.
This unit can play CD-R discs recorded with audio. However,
depending on the quality of the initial recording, and the
condition of the disc, you may find that not all discs will play
successfully. (For example, if the disc is scratched or dirty, or if
the player's pickup lens is dirty.) Some CD-R discs may need to
be finalized* before playing successfully.
* Check the CD recorder's instruction manual for how to
finalize a CD-R disc.
