Environmental considerations

The CD-355 may be used in most areas, but to maintain top performance, and prolong operating life, observe the following environmental conditions:

• The nominal temperature should be between 5°C and 35°C (41°F and 95°F).
• Relative humidity should be between 5% and 85% non-condensing.
• As the unit may become hot during operation, always leave sufficient space above the unit for ventilation. Do not install this unit in a confined space such as a bookcase, and do not put anything on top of the unit.
• Avoid installing this unit on top of any heat-generating electrical device such as a power amplifier.
• Make sure that the unit is mounted in a level position for correct operation.
• The voltage supplied to the unit should match the voltage as printed on the rear panel. If you are in any doubt regarding this matter, consult an electrician.
• Do not open the cabinet as this might result in damage to the circuitry or electrical shock. If a foreign object should get into the unit, contact your dealer or service company.
• When removing the power plug from the wall outlet, always pull directly on the plug, never yank the cord.
• To keep the laser pickup clean, do not touch it, and always close the disc tray.
• Do not attempt to clean the unit with chemical solvents as this might damage the finish. Use a clean, dry cloth.
• Keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.

Do not move the unit during playback

During playback, the disc rotates at high speed. Do NOT lift or move the unit during playback. Doing so may damage the disc or the unit.

When moving this unit

When changing places of installation or packing the unit for moving, be sure to remove the disc and return the disc tray to its closed position in the player. Then, press the power switch to turn the power off, and disconnect the power cord. Moving this unit with the disc loaded may result in damage to this unit.

Beware of condensation

If the unit (or a compact disc) is moved from a cold to a warm place, or used after a sudden temperature change, there is a danger of condensation; vapor in the air could condense on the internal mechanism, making correct operation impossible. To prevent this, or if this occurs, let the player sit for one or two hours at the new room temperature before using.

Maintenance

If the surface of the unit gets dirty, wipe with a soft cloth or use diluted neutral cleaning liquid. Be sure to remove any fluid completely. Do not use thinner, benzine or alcohol as they may damage the surface of the unit.

Discs which can be played on this unit

- Conventional audio CDs bearing the COMPACT DISC DIGITAL AUDIO logo on the label:

• Properly finalized CD-R and CD-RW discs
- MP3 CDs

Note:

• Depending on the quality of the disc and/or the condition of the recording, some CD-R/CD-RW discs may not be playable.
• Music discs with copy control, a copy-protection system, have been released from several record companies in an attempt to protect the copyright. Since some of these discs do not comply with the CD specifications, they may not be playable on the CD-355.
• Always place the disc on the disc tray with the label side up. (Compact discs can be played or recorded only on one side.)
• To remove a disc from its storage case, press down on the center of the case and lift the disc out, holding it carefully by the edges.

How to remove the disc

How to hold the disc

- Should the disc become dirty, wipe the surface radially (from the center hole outward towards the outer edge) with a soft, dry cloth.

• Never use such chemicals as record sprays, antistatic sprays or fluid, benzine or thinner to clean the discs. Such chemicals will do irreparable damage to the disc's plastic surface.
• Discs should be returned to their cases after use to avoid dust and scratches that could cause the laser pickup to "skip."
• Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or high humidity and temperature for extended periods. Long exposure to high temperatures will warp the disc.
• Do not play any disc that is warped, deformed or damaged. Playing such discs may cause irreparable harm to the playing mechanisms.

• CD-R and CD-RW discs are more sensitive to the effects of heat and ultraviolet rays than ordinary CDs. It is important that they are not stored in a location where direct sunlight will fall on them, and away from sources of heat such as radiators or heat-generating electrical devices.

• Printable CD-R and CD-RW discs aren't recommended, as the label side might be sticky and damage the unit.

• Do not stick papers or protective sheets on the discs and do not use any protective coating spray.
• Use a soft oil-based felt-tipped pen to write the information on the label side. Never use a ball-point or hard-tipped pen, as this may cause damage to the recorded side.
• Never use a stabilizer. Using commercially available CD stabilizers with this unit will damage the mechanisms and cause them to malfunction.
• Do not use CDs with an irregular shape (octagonal, heart shaped, business card size, etc.). CDs of this sort can damage the unit:

Five-step diagram showing a heart shape with X marks and a separate abstract shape with a black 'X' mark, likely illustrating a basic pattern or selection.

- If you are in any doubt as to the care and handling of a CD-R/CD-RW disc, read the precautions supplied with the disc, or contact the disc manufacturer directly.

MP3 files

• This unit can play MP3 files recorded on a CD-R or CD-RW.
• File names of MP3 should be alphanumeric characters. This unit cannot display symbols and full-size or double-byte characters (such as Japanese, Chinese, etc.) correctly. Also, be sure to use the file extension. (“.mp3”)
• MP3 files are monaural or stereo MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3 format. This unit can play MP3 files with sampling frequency 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz, bit-rate 320 kbps or less.
• The disc must be finalized in order to play.
• The CD-ROM must be ISO 9660 compatible.
• When more than 512 files (including folders) are recorded on the disc, the unit might not be able to play it correctly.
• When a MP3 disc is loaded, it may take several minutes until the unit can start to play depending on the numbers of recorded files or the complexity of the folder tree.

- Even if the remote control unit is operated within the effective range, remote control operation may be impossible if there are any obstacles between the unit and the remote control.

- If the remote control unit is operated near other appliances which generate infrared rays, or if other remote control devices using infrared rays are used near the unit, it may operate incorrectly. Conversely, the other appliances may operate incorrectly.

Battery Installation

Diagram of a battery pack with two batteries and a separate battery casing (no text or symbols)

1. Remove the battery compartment cover.

2. Insert two "AA" dry batteries. Make sure that the batteries are inserted with their positive "⊕" and negative "⊖" poles positioned correctly.

3. Close the cover.

Battery Replacement

If the distance required between the remote control unit and main unit decreases, the batteries are exhausted. In this case replace the batteries with new ones.

Precautions concerning batteries

- Be sure to insert the batteries with correct positive “⊕” and negative “⊖” polarities.

- Use batteries of the same type. Never use different types of batteries together.

- Rechargeable and non-rechargeable batteries can be used. Refer to the precautions on their labels.

- When the remote control unit is not to be used for a long time (more than a month), remove the batteries from the remote control unit to prevent them from leaking. If they leak, wipe away the liquid inside the battery compartment and replace the batteries with new ones.

- Do not heat or disassemble batteries and never dispose of old batteries by throwing them in a fire.
