Installation and Wiring Precautions 1. To prevent a short-circuit.
Position of the built-in anti-vibration board This unit can be installed horizontally (suspended), vertically, and at a 45° angle. Once the installation position has been decided, it’s necessary to set the position of the built-in anti-vibration board inside the unit. Please do this before performing the procedure listed below. Vibration may cause the disc to skip if the unit is used before properly setting the anti-vibration board.
INSTALLATION Procedure for Installation on Carpet (Horizontal Position) 1 • Confirm that the built-in anti-vibration boards on both the left and right sides are set to the horizontal installation position “0”. Built-in anti-vibration board position Hexagon bolts (M6 x 12) • Attach the left and right brackets (A) using the hexagonal bolt (M4 x 5). • Attach the left and right brackets (A) to their respective brackets (B) using the hexagonal bolts (M6 x 12) and the hexagonal nuts (M6).
INSTALLATION Procedure for Installation on Carpet (Vertical Position) 1 • Set that the built-in anti-vibration boards on both the left and right sides are set to the vertical installation position “90”.

HANDLING THE DISCS Dirt, dust, scratches and warpage cause sound skips during playback and a deterioration of sound quality. How to take care of your disc: 1. Use compact discs that have the mark shown on the right. 2. Fingerprints and dust should be carefully wiped off the disc’s signal surface (glossy side) with a soft cloth. Unlike conventional records, the compact disc has no grooves to collect dust and microscopic debris, so gently wipe with a soft cloth should remove most particles.
