Disc handling precautions

Handling

Hold the discs so that you do not touch the playing surface.

Sticky paste

Do not attach paper or tape to either the playing side or the label side of the discs.

Cleaning

If fingerprints or foreign matter become attached to the disc, lightly wipe the disc with a soft cotton cloth (or similar) from the center of the disc outwards in a radial manner.

Storage

When a disc is not to be played for a long period of time, remove it from the player and store it in its case.

Never play a cracked or warped disc

During playback, the disc rotates at high speed in the player. Therefore, to avoid danger, never use a cracked or deformed disc or a disc repaired with tape or adhesive agent. Please do not use discs which are not round because they may cause a malfunction.

Disc accessories

The disc accessories (stabilizer, protection sheet, protection ring, etc.) which are marketed for improving the sound quality or protecting discs as well as the disc cleaner should not be used with this system because they may cause malfunction.

Notes on cassette tape

Safety tab (accidental erasure prevention tab)

After an important recording has been finished, break the safety tab, to prevent the recorded contents from being erased or recorded on accidentally.

To store cassette tapes

Do not store the tapes in a place which is subject to direct sunlight, or near equipment that generates heat. Keep the cassette tapes away from any magnetic field.

When there is slack in the tape

In such a case, insert a pencil into the reel hole and wind the reel hub to remove the slack.

Diagram of a cassette tape with a rotating knob and base mount (no text or symbols)

1. Longer tape than 90 minutes cassette tape

Since longer tape than 90 minutes cassette tape is very thin, the tape could adhere to the pinch roller or be easily cut. It is recommended that these tapes not be used with this unit to prevent possible damage.

2. Endless tapes

Do not use an endless tape, as this could damage the mechanism of the unit.

Make connections as shown below.

When connecting the related system components, refer also to the instruction manuals of the related components.

Caution:

Do not plug in the power lead until all connections are completed.

Caution

Be sure to adhere followings. Or proper ventilation will be blocked causing damage or fire hazard.

• Do not place any objects impairing heat radiation onto the top of unit.
• Leave a space around the unit (from the largest outside dimension including projection) equal or greater than, shown below.

AM loop antenna connection

The supplied antenna is for indoor use. Place it as far as possible from the main system, TV set, speaker cords and power cord, and set it to a direction which provides the best reception.

Example of the XD-DV90

FM antenna

FM indoor antenna connection

The accessory antenna is for temporary indoor use only. For stable signal reception we recommend using an outdoor antenna. Remove the indoor antenna if you connect one outdoors.

FM outdoor antenna (commercially available)

Lead the 75Ω coaxial cable connected to the FM outdoor antenna into the room and connect it to the FM 75Ω terminal.

Example of the XD-DV90

Connection of the front speakers

Do not plug the power cord into the power outlet until all of the required connections have been made.

When a number of menus are connected in multiple layers in this way, it is said that the menus have a hierarchical structure. In this structure, the desired scene can be reached by repeating item selections on the menu screens.
