On operation
- If the player is brought directly from a
cold to a warm location, or is placed in
a very damp room, moisture may

listening to a portion with very low
level inputs or no audio signals. If you
do, the speakers may be damaged
when a peak level portion is played.
On cleaning
- Clean the cabinet, panel and controls
with a soft cloth slightly moistened
with a mild detergent solution. Do not
use any type of abrasive pad, scouring
powder or solvent such as alcohol or
benzine.
