Getting Started

Accessories

Check that the following parts are supplied with the product.

① Operating instructions 1
② Service station list. 1
③ Power supply cord (Cord length: Approx. 1.5 m)
④ Remote control unit (RC-1059)
⑤ Dry cell battery (R03/AAA) 2
⑥ Audio cord (Cable length: Approx. 1.0 m)

Cautions on handling

- Before turning the power switch on

Check once again that all connections are correct and that there are no problems with the connection cables.
- Power is supplied to some of the circuitry even when the unit is set to the standby mode. When traveling or leaving home for long periods of time, be sure to unplug the power supply cord from the power outlet.

- Sufficiently ventilate the place of installation

If the unit is left in a room full of the smoke from cigarettes, etc., for long periods of time, the surface of the optical pickup could get dirty, in which case it will not be able to read the signals properly.

- About condensation

If there is a major difference in temperature between the inside of the unit and the surroundings, condensation (dew) may form on the operating parts inside the unit, causing the unit not to operate properly.

If this happens, let the unit sit for an hour or two with the power turned off and wait until there is little difference in temperature before using the unit.

- Cautions on using mobile phones

Using a mobile phone near this unit may result in noise. If so, move the mobile phone away from this unit when it is in use.

- Moving the unit

First eject the disc, turn off the power, then unplug the power supply cord from the power outlet. Next, disconnect the connection cables to other system units before moving the unit.
- Note that the illustrations in these instructions may differ from the actual unit for explanation purposes.

NOTE:

• This product uses a semiconductor laser. To ensure stable operation, it is recommended to use the product indoors at a temperature of 5^ ( 41^ ) 35^ ( 95^ ).

Cautions on installation

Note:

For proper heat dispersal, do not install this unit in a confined space, such as a bookcase or similar enclosure.

What is finalization?

Finalization is the process that makes recorded CD-R/CD-RW discs playable on compatible players.

Holding discs

Do not touch the signal surface.

Loading discs

• Set the disc with the labeled side facing up.
• Make sure the disc tray is fully open when inserting the disc.
• Place the discs flatly, 12cm discs in the outer tray guide (Figure 1), 8cm discs in the inner tray guide (Figure 2).

• Place 8 cm discs in the inner tray guide without using an adapter.

• "00:00" is displayed if a disc that cannot be played is loaded.
• "NO DISC" is displayed if the disc is loaded upside-down or if no disc is loaded.

Cautions on loading discs

• Only load one disc at a time. Loading two or more discs can damage the unit or scratch the discs.
• Do not use cracked or warped discs or discs that have been repaired with adhesive, etc.
• Do not use discs on which the sticky part of cellophane tape or labels is exposed or on which there are traces of where labels have been removed. Such discs can get caught inside the player and damage it.

Cautions on handling

• Do not get fingerprints, oil or dirt on discs.
• Take special care not to scratch discs when removing them from their cases.
• Do not bend or heat discs.
• Do not enlarge the hole at the center.
• Do not write on the labeled (printed) surface with ball-point pens, pencils, etc., or stick new labels on discs.
• Water droplets may form on discs if they are moved suddenly from a cold place (outdoors for example) to a warm place, but do not try to dry them off using a hairdryer, etc.

Cautions on storing discs

• Be sure to remove discs after using them.
• Be sure to store discs in their cases to protect them from dust, scratches, warping, etc.

• Do not store discs in the following places:

• Places exposed to direct sunlight for long periods of time

• Dusty or humid places
• Places exposed to heat from heating appliances, etc.

Cleaning discs

• If there are fingerprints or dirt on discs, wipe them off before using the disc. Fingerprints and dirt can impair sound quality and cause interruptions in playback.
• Use a commercially available disc cleaning set or a soft cloth to clean discs.

Gently wipe the disc from the inside towards the outside.

Do not wipe with a circular motion.

NOTE:

• Do not use record spray, antistatic agents, or benzene, thinner or other solvents.
