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 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.

High-quality hardened tool steel is used for the pin-point feet, 
securely attached to the bottom of the unit. Although the outer 
feet may appear loose, the weight of the unit causes them to 
become firm and secure. The design effectively damps and reduces 
vibration.

< To protect the supporting furniture surface, you may stick the felt 

pads supplied with the unit to the bottom of the metal feet.

Please confirm that the following accessories are in the box when you 
open it.
