■■ Condensation
Sudden temperature changes, storage or operation in an
extremely humid environment may cause condensation
inside the cabinet (CD pickup, etc.) or on the transmitter
on the remote control. Condensation can cause the unit to
malfunction. If this happens, leave the power on with no
disc in the unit until normal playback is possible (about 1
hour). Wipe off any condensation on the transmitter with a
soft cloth before operating the unit.

■■ If problem occurs
When this product is subject to strong external interfer-
ence (mechanical shock, excessive static electricity, ab-
normal supply voltage due to lightning, etc.) or if it is oper-
ated incorrectly, it may malfunction.
If such a problem occurs, do the following:
1 Set the unit to the standby mode and turn the power
on again.
2 If the unit is not restored in the previous operation, unplug
and plug in the unit again, and then turn the power on.
Note:
If neither operation above restores the unit, clear all the
memory by resetting it.
