12. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified
by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is
used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination
to avoid injury from tip-over.
13. Unplug this apparatus during lightening storms or when unused
for a long period of time.
14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is
required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way,
such as the power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has
spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed
to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

unit checked by qualified personnel before any further operation.
On Operation
Since the CD system offers a wide dynamic range, the peaks of the high level inputs are
recorded with high fidelity, and the noise level is very low. Do not turn up the volume while
listening to a part of the disc with no audio signals or very low level inputs. If you do so, the
speakers may be damaged when the peak level of the sound is played. The lens of the laser
should be kept clean. Do not touch the lens. If you do so, the lens may be damaged and the
unit will not operate correctly.
