This symbol, located on back or bottom of the unit, is
intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated
“dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that
may be of sufcient magnitude to constitute a risk of
electric shock to persons.
This symbol, located on back or bottom of the unit, is
intended to alert the user to the presence of important
operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in
the literature accompanying the appliance.
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.
CAUTION: TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK,
MATCH WIDE BLADE OF PLUG TO WIDE SLOT,
FULLY INSERT.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove
cover (or back). There are no user-serviceable parts
inside. Please refer any servicing to qualied service
personnel.
WARNING: Changes or modications to this unit
not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user’s authority to operate
the equipment.
WARNING: Danger of explosion if the remote
control’s batteries are incorrectly installed. Replace
only with the same or equivalent battery.
WARNING: The remote control’s button cell battery
contains mercury. Do not put in the trash, instead
recycle or dispose of as hazardous waste
WARNING: Use of this unit near uorescent lighting
may cause interference regarding use of the remote. If
the unit is displaying erratic behavior move away from
any uorescent lighting, as it may be the cause.
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 communications. 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.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit
different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV
technician for help.

9. A product and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops,
excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and cart
combination to overturn.
10. Ventilation - Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for
ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the product and to protect it
from overheating, and these openings must not be blocked or covered. The
openings should never be blocked by placing the product on a bed, sofa,
rug, or other similar surface. This product should not be placed in a built-in
installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided
or the manufacturer’s instruction have been adhered to.
11. Power Sources - This product should be operated only from the type of
power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type
of power supply to your home, consult your product dealer or local power
company. For products intended to operate from battery power, or other
sources, refer to the operating instruction.
12. Grounding or Polarization - This product may be equipped with a
polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than
the other). This plug will t into the power outlet only one way. This is a
safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try
reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to t, contact your electrician
to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the
polarizes plug.
Alternate Warnings - This product is equipped with a three-wire grounding-

13. Power-Cord Protection - Power supply cords should be routed so that
they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or
against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience
receptacles, and point where they exit from the product.
14. Protective Attachment Plug - The product is equipped with an
attachment plug having overload protection. This is a safety feature. See
Instruction Manual for replacement or resetting of protective device. If
replacement of the plug is required, be sure the service technician has
used a replacement plug specied by the manufacturer that has the same
overload protection as the original plug.
15. Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna is connected to
the receiver, be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some
protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of
the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with
regard to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding
of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an
antenna-discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-
discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the
grounding electrode.
See gure:
16. Lightning - For added protection for this product during a lightning
storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time,
unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system.
This will prevent damage to the product due to lightning and power-line
surges.
17. Power Lines - An outside antenna system should not be located in the
vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits,
or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing
an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from
touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.
18. Overloading - Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral
convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of re or electric shock.
19. Object and Liquid Entry - Never push objects of any kind into this
product through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or
short-out parts that could result in a re or electric shock. Never spill liquid
of any kind on the product.
20. Servicing - Do not attempt to service this product yourself as opening
or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards.
Refer all servicing to qualied service personnel.
21. Damage Requiring Service - Unplug this product from the wall outlet
and refer servicing to qualied service personnel under the following
conditions:
a) When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged,
b) If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the product,
c) If the product has been exposed to rain or water,
d) If the product does not operate normally by following the operating
instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating
instructions as an improper adjustment of other controls may result in
damage and will often require extensive work by a qualied technician to
restore the product to its normal operation.
e) If the product has been dropped or damaged in any way, and
f) When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance - this
indicates a need for service.
22. Replacement Parts - When replacement parts are required, be sure the
service technician has used replacement parts specied by the manufacturer
or have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized
substitutions may result in re, electric shock, or other hazards.
