Whats in the box  
Do Not Move the Unit During Playback  
Please confirm that the following accessories are in the box when you  
open it.  
During playback, the disc rotates at high speed. Do NOT lift or  
move the unit during playback. Doing so may damage the disc or  
the unit.  
Power cord x 1

When Moving This Unit  
When changing places of installation or packing the unit for  
moving, be sure to remove the disc and return the disc tray to its  
closed position in the player. Then, press the power switch to turn  
the power off and disconnect the power cord. Moving this unit  
with the disc loaded may result in damage to this unit.  
Read this before operation  
< Place the unit in a stable location near the audio system that you  
will use.  
Placement of the unit  
High-quality hardened tool steel is used for the pin-point feet,  
securely attached to the bottom of the unit. Although the outer  
feet may appear loose, the weight of the unit causes them to  
become firm and secure. The design effectively damps and reduces  
vibration.  
< Be careful to avoid injury when moving the unit due to its weight.  
Get someone to help you if necessary.  
< As the unit may become warm during operation, always leave  
sufficient space around the unit for ventilation. Make sure there is  
at least 20 cm (8”) of space above and at least 5 cm (2”) of space on  
each side of the unit. Do NOT place anything such as a CD, CD-R,  
LP, cassette tape etc. on top of the unit.  
< To protect the supporting furniture surface, you may stick the felt  
pads supplied with the unit to the bottom of the metal feet.  
Pin-point foot  
< The voltage supplied to the unit should match the voltage as  
printed on the rear panel. If you are in any doubt regarding this  
matter, consult an electrician.  
Bottom plate of  
the unit  
Steel foot  
< Choose the installation location of your unit carefully. Avoid placing  
it in direct sunlight or close to a source of heat. Also avoid locations  
subject to vibrations and excessive dust, heat, cold or moisture.  
Cover foot  
Cover foot retaining screws  
< Do not open the cabinet as this will void your factory warranty  
and might result in damage to the circuitry or electrical shock. If  
a foreign object should get into the unit, contact your dealer or  
service company.  
< When removing the power plug from the wall outlet, always pull  
directly on the plug, never yank on the cord.

CAUTION:  
Type of discs that can be played on this system  
< Do not play any disc that is warped, deformed or damaged.  
Playing such discs may cause irreparable harm to the playback  
mechanisms.  
This unit can playback discs bearing any of the following logos:  
< Printable CD-R and CD-RW discs are not recommended, as the  
label side might be sticky and damage the unit. This also includes  
PC produced discs where a stick on label has been used.  
< Do not stick papers, stability pads or protective sheets on the  
discs and do not use any protective coating spray.

Super Audio CDs are divided into tracks.  
< Use a soft oil-based felt-tipped pen to write the information on  
the label side. Never use a ball-point or hard-tipped pen, as this  
may cause damage to the recorded side.  
< Never use a stabilizer. Using commercially available CD stabilizers  
with this unit will damage the mechanisms and cause them to  
malfunction.

Audio CDs are divided into tracks.  
< Do not use irregular shape discs (octagonal, heart shaped,  
business card size, etc.). CDs of this sort can damage the unit.  
About CD-R/CD-RW  
CD-R/RW discs recorded in the Audio CD format and finalized  
correctly are playable. Depending on the quality of the disc and/or  
the condition of the recording, some CD-R and CD-RW discs may  
not be playable.  
Handling precautions  
< Always place the disc on the disc tray with the label side  
uppermost. Compact discs can be played or recorded only on  
one side.  
< To remove a disc from its storage case, press down on the center  
of the case and lift the disc out, holding it carefully by the edges.  
< If you record a disc using a personal computer, even if it is recorded  
in a compatible format, there are cases in which it may not play  
because of the settings of the application software used to create  
the disc. (Check with the software publisher for more detailed  
information.)  
< Unfinalized CD-R/CD-RW discs cannot be played.

< Never use such chemicals as record sprays, antistatic sprays or  
fluid, benzine or thinner to clean the discs. Such chemicals will do  
irreparable damage to the disc’s plastic surface.  
WARNING:  
If you attempt to play back such discs, there is a risk that a sudden  
loud noise may be heard over the speakers at full volume and cause  
damage to the speakers and possibly to your hearing.  
Storage precautions  
< Discs should be returned to their cases after use to avoid dust  
and scratches that could cause the laser pickup to “skip.”  
< Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or high-temperature  
and humidity for extended periods. Long exposure to high  
temperatures will warp the disc.  
< CD-R and CD-RW discs are more sensitive to the effects of heat  
and ultraviolet rays than ordinary CDs. It is important that they  
are not stored in a location where direct sunlight will fall on  
them, and away from sources of heat such as radiators or heat-  
generating electrical devices.  
Copy-protected discs, DualDiscs and other discs that do not conform  
to the CD standard may not play back correctly in this player. If you  
use such discs in this unit, ESOTERIC COMPANY cannot be responsible  
for any consequences or guarantee the quality of reproduction. If  
you experience problems with such non-standard discs, you should  
contact the producers of the disc.  
If you are in any doubt as to the care and handling of a CD-R or CD-RW  
disc, read the precautions supplied with the disc, or contact the disc  
manufacturer.
