Setup precautions
Finding a suitable location
–  Place the set on a fl at, hard and stable 
surface. Do not place the set on a carpet.
–  Do not position the set on top of 
other equipment that might heat it up 
(e.g., receiver or amplifi er).
–  Do not put anything above or under 
the set (e.g., CDs, magazines).
–  Install this unit near the AC outlet and 
where the AC power plug can be 
reached easily.
Space for ventilation
–  Place the apparatus in a location with 
adequate ventilation to prevent internal 
heat build up. Allow at least 10 cm (4”) 
clearance from the rear and the top of 
the set and 5cm (2”) from the left and 
right to prevent overheating.
Avoid high temperatures, moisture, 
water and dust
–  Apparatus shall not be exposed to 
dripping or splashing.
–  Do not place any sources of danger 
on the apparatus (e.g., liquid fi lled 
objects, lighted candles).
Cleaning discs
Some problems occur (frozen picture, 
sound disruptions, picture distortions) 
because the disc inside the unit is dirty. 
To avoid these problems, discs should be 
cleaned on a regular basis.
To clean a disc, use a micro fi bre cleaning 
cloth and wipe the disc from the center 
to the edge in a straight line.
CAUTION!
Do not use solvents such as benzene, 
thinner, commercially available cleaners, 
or anti-static sprays intended for discs.
Since the optical unit (laser) of the 
recorder operates at a higher power than 
regular DVD or CD players, cleaning 
CDs intended for DVD or CD players 
may damage the optical unit (laser). 
Therefore, refrain from using a cleaning 
CD.
