You can install the player horizontally, vertically or on the wall.

• Make sure that the connecting cords are not trapped by the jack cover.
• If you use commercially available cords, make sure that those cords are similar to the supplied cords in size. If the 

cords are too thick or hard, or the plug is too large, you may not be able to attach the jack cover securely.

First, gather all the connecting cords together and let them pass through the side of the player.
Then attach the jack cover carefully not to trap the cords.

First, gather all the connecting cords together and let them pass through the side of the player.
Then attach the jack cover for vertical installation (supplied) carefully not to trap the cords.

• When you place the player in a horizontal position, remove the jack cover for vertical installation.
• To move the player, hold the player itself. If you hold the flat part of the jack cover for vertical installation, it may 

break.

• Do not place the player in a vertical position without attaching the jack cover for vertical installation. If you do not 

attach it, the player will be unstable and may fall over.

Attach the jack cover as in the same way for the horizontal installation. 
Fastening screws are not supplied. You need to determine the appropriate hanging screws and/or 
other necessary hardware needed to securely and safely fasten the unit to the wall. Placement of 
the screws should be at the same height and should be 3 1/4 in. (80 mm) apart. The screws or other 
fasteners should protrude by 3/16 to 7/32 in. (4 to 5 mm).
Please be sure you have selected fasteners or screws that will fit in the hanging holes on the 
bottom of the unit. Remove the seals covering the hanging holes. Hang the player on the screws. 
Push the player tightly against the wall.

WHEN YOU DISCONNECT OR CONNECT THE CORDS, TAKE THE PLAYER DOWN FROM THE WALL.

Plug the player and TV power cords into an AC outlet.

Do not connect the power cord of your player to the “switched” power socket of an amplifier 
(receiver). Otherwise, when you turn off the power of your amplifier (receiver), the settings for 
the player may be lost.
