FCC Warnings 
Warning: Changes or modications to this unit not expressly 
approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the 
user’s authority to operate the equipment.
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply 
with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of 
the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable 
protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. 
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency 
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the 
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communica-
tions. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not 
occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause 
harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can 
be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is 
encouraged to  try to correct the interference by one or more of the 
following measures:
•  Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
•  Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

This product utilizes a Class 1 laser to read 
Compact Discs. This laser Compact Disc 
Player is equipped with safety switches to avoid 
exposure when the CD door is open and the safety 
interlocks are defeated. Invisible laser radiation is 
present when the CD Player’s lid is open and the 
system’s interlock has failed or been defeated. It 
is very important that you avoid direct exposure to 
the laser beam at all times. Please do not attempt 
to defeat or bypass the safety switches.
Warning: To reduce the risk of electric shock, do 
not remove cover (or back). No user-serviceable 
parts inside. Refer servicing to qualied service 
personnel.

The exclamation point within an equilateral tri-
angle is intended to alert the user to the presence 
of important operating and maintenance (servic-
ing) instructions in the literature accompanying 
the appliance.
This symbol indicates that this product incorpo-
rates double insulation between hazardous mains 
voltage and user accessible parts.
The lightning ash with arrowhead symbol, within 
an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user 
to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous volt-
age” within the product’s enclosure that may be of 
sufcient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric 
shock to persons.
