IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Safety
1. Power source—Connect the unit to a power source of the type
described in these instructions or as marked on the unit.
2. Polarization—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
disconnecting 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 storms.
6. Attachments and accessories—Use only the attachments and
accessories recommended in these operating instructions.

Connections
ABefore making connections, be sure that the power of this unit
and all other system components is turned off.
Conserving power
The unit consumes 1 W even when it is turned off with [/I, POWER].
To save power when the unit is not to be used for a long time,
unplug it from the household AC outlet.
Note
Although the figure shows the AC power supply cord being
connected to a household AC outlet, if the amplifier (or receiver) is
equipped with a AC outlet, connect the cord to that outlet.
Digital connection
Remove the dust-protection cap and connect this unit to other
digital equipment with an optical fiber terminal, such as a receiver
or digital surround processor.
• Leave the cap attached when this terminal is not being used.
For your reference
If you have DTS format CDs, you can enjoy six channel playback
by connecting this unit to a receiver or digital surround processor
that has a DTS decoder.
Note
Use only the optical fiber terminal when playing back DTS format
discs. DTS signals can only be correctly output through the digital
terminal. Connection through the stereo LINE OUT terminals will
result in noise and could possibly damage your speakers.
• DTS is a trademark of Digital Theater Systems, L.P.

4Press [OPEN/CLOSE] again to close the loading
drawer.
Note
Do not attempt to close the drawer by hand.
5Press the desired disc button ([DISC 1]–[DISC 5]).Play will begin from the selected disc. If a disc is not on the
