What you should know to protect yourself
@ Never touch the plug with wet hands.
@ Always pull out by the plug and never the cord.
@ Only let a qualified professional repair or reassemble the
components. An inexperienced person might touch the in-
ternal parts and receive a serious electric shock.
@ Never put anything, especially metal, into the components.
Protect the components too
@ Use a household AC power source only. Never use a DC
power source.
@ If water is spilled on the components, disconnect them and
call your dealer.
@ Make sure that the components are well ventilated and away
from direct sunlight.
@ Toavoid damage to the internal circuits and the external sur-
face, keep the components away from heat (stoves, etc.).
@ Avoid using spray type insecticide near the components as
this could damage the finish or cause sudden ignition of the
insecticide.
@ To avoid damaging the finish, never use paint thinner or
other similar chemicals to clean the components.
@ Place the components on a flat and solid surface.
© Ifyou do not plan to use the components for a long period of
time, disconnect the power cord.
Condensation
Condensation inside the CD player or cassette deck is an im-
portant point to be considered. If the ambient temperature of
the component's environment increases sharply within a short
time, such as when a cold room is heated up, or when the com-
ponent is transported from a cold location to a warm one, tiny
droplets of water will condense on the CD player's laser pick-
up's lens section or the cassette deck's transport section (such
as capstans and heads), preventing correct playback. If excess
condensation forms on the compact disc or inside the CD
player, operation of the CD player will not resume until the con-
densation has had ample time to dissipate. If condensation
forms inside the cassette deck, the tape will stick to the heads
and be ruined, or it will not be transported properly. In either
case, wait 30 minutes to one hour before using the component.
