Hints on installation
We want you to enjoy using this unit for years to come, so please
bear in mind the following points when choosing a suitable
location for it:
Do...
✓ Use in a well-ventilated room.
✓ Place on a solid, flat, level surface, such as a table, shelf or
stereo rack.
Don’t...
✗ Use in a place exposed to high temperatures or humidity,
including near radiators and other heat-generating
appliances.
✗ Place on a window sill or other place where the player will
be exposed to direct sunlight.
✗ Use in an excessively dusty or damp environment.
✗ Place directly on top of an amplifier, or other component in
your stereo system that becomes hot in use.
✗ Use near a television or monitor as you may experience
interference—especially if the television uses an indoor
antenna.
✗ Use in a kitchen or other room where the player may be
exposed to smoke or steam.
✗ Use on a thick rug or carpet, or cover with cloth—this may
prevent proper cooling of the unit.
✗ Place on an unstable surface, or one that is not large
enough to support all four of the unit’s feet.

Using this manual
This manual is for the PDR–W839 Compact Disc Recorder/Multi-

and the second, using the recorder. Set up, which starts here, shows
you how to install and connect up the recorder to the rest of your
system.
In the second section of the manual, starting on page 11, you'll
learn how to use the various features of the recorder. The final part
of the manual provides a list of display messages, a troubleshooting
section, and technical specifications.
