When installing in a rack or shelf, be sure to leave more than 8 inches of space above and behind the receiver. MAKING CABLE CONNECTIONS Be careful not to bend cables over the top of the receiver. If cables are placed on top of the receiver, the magnetic field produced by the receiver's transformers can cause the speakers to produce a humming noise. USING DISCS When using discs, you must always take the following precautions: · Do not touch the playback side of the disc. · Do not attach paper or tape to discs. · Do not store discs in a place subject to direct sunlight or near heat sources. · Do not store discs in places subject to moisture and dust such as a bathroom or near a humidifier. · Store discs vertically in a case. Stacking or placing objects on discs outside of their case may cause warping. Cleaning Discs Fingerprints and dust on the disc cause picture and sound deterioration. Wipe the disc from the center outward with a soft cloth. Always keep the disc clean. If you cannot wipe off the dust with a soft cloth, wipe the disc lightly with a slightly moistened soft cloth and finish with a dry cloth.
