Carry the CD-Player with both hands by gripping the sides of the unit. 3.

CONNECTION When making any connections to this component or any other device, make sure the power amplifier and the preamplifier are OFF and disconnected from the AC current. 1. Plug the CD-1 into a standard wall AC receptacle. NOTE: If the phase control indicator glow red, the phase polarity is wrong. Reverse the AC plug!

Burn-in the CD-1 without any stress and be sure to use the system, “Normally”.
