If the unit is displaying erratic behavior move away from any uorescent lighting, as it may be the cause.
Do not mix old and new batteries.
Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc), or rechargeable (ni-cad, ni-mh, etc) batteries.
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: Danger of explosion if the remote control’s batteries are incorrectly installed. Replace only
with the same or equivalent battery.
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.
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.
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).

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

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.

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
