Never handle this unit or its power cord while your 
hands are wet or damp. If water or any other liquid gets 
inside this unit, have it checked by your Onkyo dealer.

 

• Install this unit in a well-ventilated location.

Ensure that there’s adequate ventilation all around 
this unit, especially if it’s installed in an audio rack. If 
the ventilation is inadequate, the unit may overheat, 
leading to malfunction.

• Do not expose this unit to direct sunlight or heat 

sources, because its internal temperature may rise, 
shortening the life of the optical pickup.

• Avoid damp and dusty places, and places subject to 

vibrations from loudspeakers. Never put the unit on 
top of, or directly above a loudspeaker.

• Install this unit horizontally. Never use it on its side or 

on a sloping surface, because it may cause a malfunc-
tion.

• If you install this unit near a TV, radio, or VCR, the 

picture and sound quality may be affected. If this 
occurs, move this unit away from the TV, radio, or 
VCR.

 

Occasionally, you should dust this unit all over with a 
soft cloth. For stubborn stains, use a soft cloth damp-
ened with a weak solution of mild detergent and water. 
Dry the unit immediately afterwards with a clean cloth. 
Do not use abrasive cloths, thinners, alcohol, or other 
chemical solvents, because they may damage the finish 
or remove the panel lettering.

 

• If you need to transport this unit, use the original 

packaging to pack it how it was when you originally 
bought it.

• Do not use volatile liquids, such as insect sprays, near 

this unit. Do not leave rubber or plastic items on this 
unit for a long time, because they may leave marks on 
the case.

• This unit’s top and rear panels may get warm after 

prolonged use. This is normal.

• When you’ve finished using this unit, remove all discs 

and turn off the power.

• If you do not use this unit for a long time, it may not 

work properly the next time you turn it on, so be sure 
to use it occasionally.

 

This unit is a high-tech, precision device. If the lens on 
the optical pickup, or the disc drive mechanism 
becomes dirty or worn, the picture quality may be 
affected. To maintain the best picture quality, we recom-
mend regular inspection and maintenance (cleaning or 
worn part replacement) every 1,000 hours of use 
depending on the operating environment. Contact your 
Onkyo dealer for details.

 

Read the following carefully:

When you take a glass containing a cold drink outside 
on a summer’s day, drops of water, called condensation, 
form on the outside of the glass. Similarly, moisture 
may condense on the lens of the optical pickup, one of 
the most important parts inside this unit.
• Moisture condensation can occur in the following sit-

uations:
— The unit is moved from a cold place to a warm

place.

— A heater is turned on, or cold air from an air con-

ditioner is hitting the unit.

— In the summer, when this unit is moved from an

air conditioned room to a hot and humid place.

— The unit is used in a humid place.

• Do not use this unit when there’s the possibility of 

moisture condensation occurring. Doing so may dam-
age your discs and certain parts inside this unit.
If condensation does occur, remove all discs and 
leave this unit turned on for two to three hours. By 
this time, the unit will have warmed up and any con-
densation will have evaporated. To reduce the risk of 
condensation, keep this unit connected to a wall out-
let.
