to

comply

with

the

limits

for

a

CLASS

of

the

FCC

Rules.

These

limits

are

designed

to

provide

reasonable

protection

against

harmful

interference

in

a

residential

installation.

This

equipment

may

cause

harmful

interference

to

radio

if

it

is

not

used

in

accordance

Selecting

fine

audio

equipment

such

as

the

unit

you've

just

purchased

is

only

the

start

of

your

musical

enjoyment.

Now

it's

time

to

consider

how

you

can

maximize

the

fun

and

excitement

your

equipment

offers.

This

manufacturer

and

the

Electronic

Industries

Association's

Consumer

Electronics

Group

want

you

to

get

the

most

out

of

your

equipment

by

playing

it

at

a

safe

level.

One

that

lets

the

sound

come

through

loud

and

clear

without

annoying

blaring

or

distortion

—

and,

most

importantly,

without

affecting

your

sensitive

hearing.

Sound

can

be

deceiving.

Over

time

your

hearing

"comfort

level"

adapts

to

higher

volumes

of

sound.

So

what

sounds

normal

can

actually

be

loud

and

harmful

to

your

hearing.

Guard

against

this

by

setting

vour

equipment

at

a

safe

level

BEFORE

your

hearing

adapts.

To

establish

a

safe

level:

•

Start

your

volume

control

at

a

low

setting.

•

Slowly

increase

the

sound

until

you

can

hear

it

comfortably

and

clearly,

and

without

distortion.

Once

you

have

established

a

comfortable

sound

level:

•

Set

the

dial

and

leave

it

there.

Taking

a

minute

to

do

this

now

will

help

to

prevent

hearing

damage

or

loss

in

the

future

After

all

we

want

you

listening

for

a

lifetime.

We

Want

You

Listening

For

A

Lifetime

Used

wisely,

your

new

sound

equipment

will

provide

a

lifetime

of

fun

and

enjoyment.

Since

hearing

damage

from

loud

noise

is

often

undetectable

until

it

is

too

late,

this

manufacturer

and

the

Electronic

recommend

you

which

are

marketed

for

improving

the

system

because

they

may

cause

Handling

Hold

compact

so

that

you

do

not

touch

the

playing

surface.

Do

not

attach

paper

or

tape

to

either

the

side

or

the

label

side

of

compact

discs.

The

paste

left

on

the

label

surface

after

a

sticker

has

been

peeled

off

is

a

factor

which

may

cause

malfunction.

If

the

surface

is

due

to

remaining

paste,

be

sure

to

clean

it

with

alcohol

before

use.

Never

play

a

cracked

warped

disc.

During

playback,

the

disc

rotates

at

high

speed

in

the

Therefore,

to

avoid

danger,

never

use

a

cracked

or

deformed

disc

or

a

disc

repaired

with

tape

or

adhesive

agent.

Cleaning

If

fingerprints

or

foreign

matter

become

attached

to

the

disc,

lightly

wipe

the

disc

with

a

soft

cotton

cloth

(or

similar)

from

the

center

of

the

disc

outwards

in

a

radial

manner.

Storage

When

a

disc

is

not

to

be

played

for

a

long

period

of

time,

remove

it

from

the

may

malfunction

due

to
