User memo:
Listening Caution
Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you’ve just pur-
chased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it’s time to
consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your equip-
ment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Asso-
ciation’s Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most out
of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the
sound come through loud and clear without annoying blaring or dis-
tortion—and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hear-
ing.
We recommend you to avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level”
adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds “normal” can
actually be loud and harmful to your hearing.
Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level
BEFORE your hearing adapts.
To establish a safe level:
 Start your volume control at a low setting.
 Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and
clearly, and without distortion.
Once you have established a comfortable sound level:
 Set the dial and leave it there.
Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage
or loss in the future. After all, we want you listening for a lifetime.
THE FOLLOWING APPLIES ONLY IN THE U.S.A. The model number and serial number of this product can
be found on either the back or the bottom of the unit.
Please note them in the space provided below and
keep for future reference.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read these operating instructions carefully before using the unit. Fol-
low the safety instructions on the unit and the safety precautions listed
below. Keep these operating instructions handy for future reference.
1. Power source
—Connect the unit to a power source of the type
described in these instructions or as marked on the unit.
2. Polariz atio n
—The unit is equipped with a polarized power plug
where one blade is wider than the other. This safety feature
ensures that the plug fits into your household AC outlet only one
way. If the plug doesn’t fit one way, try reversing it. If the plug still
doesn’t fit, contact an electrician to replace the obsolete outlet.
Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the plug.
3. Power cord protection
—Route the AC power supply cord so
that it will not be walked on or pinched by items placed on or
against it. Never take hold of the plug or cord with wet hands.
Always grasp the plug body firmly when connecting and discon-
necting it.
4. Overloading—When connecting the AC power supply cord, be
careful not to overload the household AC outlet, extension cord, or
outlet from any other device as this can result in fire or electric
shock.
5. Nonuse periods
—Turn the unit off when it is not in use. Unplug
the unit from the household AC outlet if it is not to be used for a long
time. Unplug the unit during lightning stor ms.

age, position the main unit as follows:
Front: Open space with no obstructions.
Sides: At least 3 cm (1-3/16 in.) of space on each side.
Top: At least 5 cm (1-31/32 in.) of space between the top of
the unit and the nearest object.
Back: At least 15 cm (5-29/32 in.) of space between the back
panel and the nearest object/wall.
Bottom: Place the unit on a flat, level surface with no obstruc-
tions.  2. Foreign material
—Ensure objects and liquids do not get into
the unit. Avoid exposing the unit to excessive smoke, dust,
mechanical vibration, and shock.
3. Magnetism
—Situate the unit away from equipment and devices
that generate strong magnetic fields.
4. Stacking
—Do not place heavy objects on top of this unit.

tors. 
Do not situate where temperatures fall below 5°C (41°F) or rise
above 35°C (95°F).
Unplug the unit from the household AC outlet before cleaning.
Clean with a damp cloth.
Do not use abrasive pads, scouring powders or solvents.

fied service personnel if:
(a)  The AC power supply cord or the plug has been damaged; or 
(b) Objects or liquids have gotten into the unit; or
(c)  The unit has been exposed to rain; or
(d)  The unit does not operate normally or exhibits a marked change
in performance; or
(e)  The unit has been dropped, or the cabinet damaged.
2. 
Servicing—Do not attempt to service the unit beyond that
described in these operating instructions. Refer all other servicing to
authorized servicing personnel.
3.Replacement parts—When parts need replacing ensure the ser-
vicer uses parts specified by the manufacturer or par ts that have the
same characteristics as the original par ts.
Unauthorized substitutes may result in fire, electric shock, or
other hazards.

Connections
Digital Optical and Coaxial Cable Connections 
Optical Cable Input/Output Terminals
Connect a receiver or amplifier with digital audio capability via
the optical Input/Output cables. A single cable transmits stereo
signals (L/R channels) as digital data.
If analog audio connections are also being made, try using the
digital connectors on the receiver/amplifier that are labeled the
same way as the analog terminals.
Make sure the optical cable (not supplied) can be connected to
the amplifier, etc. before purchasing it.
Do not bend the optical cable at a sharp angle.The filament in the cable shines red when activated. This beam
sends the digital signal. It is not harmful to the eyes, but please
keep the protective cap on the terminal when not in use. 
Notes
Connect an external digital recording device to the digital out-
put terminal on an amplifier or receiver, and then connect the
amplifier or receiver to this unit.
The sound from an external device cannot be digitally output
from this unit. To listen to the sound from the external device,
connect an amplifier or receiver to the LINE OUT (PLAY) ter-
minal on this unit.
