Precautions
1. Warranty Claim
You can find the serial number on the rear panel of this unit. In case of warranty claim, please report this number.
2. Power
WARNING
BEFORE PLUGGING IN THE UNIT FOR THE FIRST TIME, READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY.
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.
3. 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 liquid enters the case, take this unit to an authorized service center for inspection.
4. 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 heating 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 particular, 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 reception interference resulting in some noise in the TV or tuner output.
5. 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 solution of mild detergent and water, wring it out dry, and wipe off the dirt. Following this, dry immediately 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.
6. 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.

Boxed: The disc is playing or ready for playback.
On: A disc is loaded in the disc tray.
Flashing: The disc tray is open.
Off: No disc is loaded in the disc tray.
Note:
The disc indicator stays lit until the presence/absence detection is completed, even if the disc tray holds no discs.
Changing the discs during playback


The C-707CHX allows you to change the other two discs while one disc is playing.
When one disc is playing, press the ▲ button (DISC 1 - DISC 3) for another disc tray.
The disc indicator for the open disc tray flashes. Replace the disc in the disc tray and press the ▲ button to close the disc tray.
If the ▲button for the playing disc is pressed...

IMPORTANT!
During recording, pressing the ▲ button for the tray holding the playing disc stops the recording.
Notes:
- This CD Changer has three disc trays that slide forward and backward internally. Note that pressing any of the ▲ buttons will cause the all the trays to change position, either in or out, or forward or backward.
- Be sure that the internal disc trays have stopped moving before changing the disc.

Each time you press the DISC MODE button, the disc mode will change in the following sequence:

flowchart
graph LR
A["TR-1 +DISC"] --> B["Normal play\n(No indication made)"]
(The current disc mode is shown by the disc mode indicators.)
TR-1 mode (hit-parade function): When loaded with CD-singles, the CD Changer plays only the first tracks of discs. The unit automatically stops when the first tracks of all discs have been played back. This mode is useful when you play only the first tracks of one CD-single after another.
1DISC mode: The CD Changer plays only the currently selected disc. When finished, the unit stops without playing the next CD.
Normal play (No indication made): When finished playing the disc's final track, the CD Changer immediately starts playing the next disc's first track. The unit automatically stops when all discs have been played back.
Note:
In the TR-1 mode, the CD Changer determines whether it is a CD-single by the total playing time, not the size of the disc. Therefore, even if a 12-cm disc is loaded, the unit will recognize it as a CD-single if it includes 4 tracks or less and its total playing time is less than 27 minutes, and play back only the disc's first track.

Changing the display
The display changes each time you press the DISPLAY button during play.
