PRECAUTIONS
On Safety
As the laser beam used in the CD
player section may be harmful to the
eyes, do not attempt to disassemble
the cabinet. Refer servicing to
qualified personnel only.
Should any solid object or liquid fall
into the player, unplug the player, and
have it checked by qualified personnel
before operating it any further.
17
On Placement
Do not leave the player in a location
near a heat source, or in a place
subject to direct sunlight, excessive
dust or mechanical shock.
Do not place the player on an inclined
or unstable place.
Do not place anything within 1 inch of
the back of the cabinet. The
ventilation holes must not be covered
for the player to operate properly and
prolong the life of its components.
If the player is left in a car parked in
the sun, be sure to choose a location
in the car where the player will not be
subjected to the direct rays of the
sun.
Since a strong magnet is used for the
speakers, keep personal credit cards
using magnetic coding or springwound
watches away from the player to
prevent possible damage from the
magnets.
If you have any questions or problems
concerning your player, please contact
our customer service department at
1-800-315-5885.
(Monday - Thursday 09:00 AM - 05:00 PM,
Friday 09:00 AM - 01:00 PM EST)
On Operation
If the player is brought directly from a
cold to a warm location, or is placed
in a very damp room, moisture may
condense on the lens inside the CD
player section. Should this occur, the
player will not operate properly. In
this case, remove the CD and wait
about an hour for the moisture to
evaporate. If the player has not been
used for a long time, set it in the
playback mode to warm it up for a few
minutes before inserting a cassette.
This CD player is designed to be
played on a stable no vibration
position. If you bump the set or table
it is sitting on during CD play, the
music will stop or skip for
a few seconds. This is normal for this
type of player.

PRECAUTIONS (continued)
Notes on CDs
Before playing, clean the CD with a
cleaning cloth. Wipe the CD from the
center out.
Do not use solvents such as benzene,
thinner, commercially available
cleaners or anti-static spray intended
for vinyl LPs.
Do not expose the CD to direct
sunlight or heat sources such as hot
air ducts, nor leave it in a car parked
in direct sunlight as there can be a
considerable rise in temperature inside
the car.
Do not stick paper or stickers on the
CD, nor scratch the CD.
After playing, store the CD in its case.
If there is a scratch, dirt or fingerprints
on the CD, it may cause a tracking
error or skipping.
To record on a tape with its tab broken
off, cover the respective tab hole for
side A or B with adhesive tape.
The use of a cassette with more than
90 minutes of play time is not
recommended except for long
continuous recording or playback.
To reduce the chances of tape
jamming or tangling, you should check
that there are no loose layers of tape
visible through the cassette center
window. If any, tighten these loose
layers of tape using a pencil before
inserting the cassette into the set.

Tab for side A
Tab for side B
