Batteries
1 Battery pack (Lithium ion battery pack)
● Use the specified unit to recharge the battery pack.
● Do not use the battery pack with equipment other than
the specified unit.
● Do not use the player outside if it is snowing or raining.
(The battery pack is not waterproof.)
● Do not get dirt, sand, liquids, or other foreign matter on
the terminals.
● Do not touch the plug terminals (+ and -) with metal
objects.
● Do not disassemble, remodel, heat or throw into fire.
● Do not heat or expose to flame.
● Do not leave the battery(ies) in an automobile exposed
to direct sunlight for a long period of time with doors and
windows closed.
If any electrolyte should come into contact with your hands
or clothes, wash it off thoroughly with water.
If any electrolyte should come into contact with your eyes,
never rub the eyes.
Rinse eyes thoroughly with water, and then consult a doctor.
2 Disposing of the batteries
Check and follow your local regulations before disposal.
A lithium ion battery that is recyclable powers
the product you have purchased.
At the end of its useful life, under various state
and local laws, it is illegal to dispose of this
battery into your municipal waste stream.
Please call 1-800-8-BATTERY for information
on how to recycle this battery.
AC adaptor
This AC adaptor operates on AC between 100 V and 240 V.
But
● In the U.S.A. and Canada, the AC adaptor must be
connected to a 120 V AC power supply only.
● When connecting to an AC supply outside of the U.S.A.
or Canada, use a plug adaptor to suit the AC outlet
configuration.
(Bottom of product)
Warning
Risk of fire, explosion and burns. Do not disassemble, heat
above 60°C (140°F) or incinerate.
CAUTION
Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.
Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended
by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to
the manufacturer’s instructions.
Listening caution
Do not play your headphones or earphones at a high volume.
Hearing experts advise against continuous extended play.
If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce volume or
discontinue use.
Do not use while operating a motorized vehicle. It may create
a traffic hazard and is illegal in many areas.
You should use extreme caution or temporarily discontinue
use in potentially hazardous situations.
Even if your headphones or earphones are the open-air type
designed to let you hear outside sounds, don’t turn up the
volume so high that you can’t hear what’s around you.
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 your 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:
● Leave it there.
Do not rest the unit on your lap for a long time while
using it. The unit can become hot and cause burns.
WARNING
DRIVER MUST NOT OPERATE OR VIEW THIS UNIT
WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE.
Doing so will distract the driver and could cause a collision
resulting in serious injury or property damage.
To prevent damage
Avoid the following:
● Spraying flammable insecticides near the unit.
● Pressing the LCD.
● Touching the lens and other parts of the laser pickup.
Do not use the unit in the following places:
● Sandy places such as beaches.
● On top of cushions, sofas, or hot equipment such as
amplifiers.
Do not leave in an unventilated automobile or exposed to
direct sunlight and high temperatures.

Settings/Enjoying in various situations
Enjoying in a car
● Do not leave the unit on a surface that may become hot such as a dashboard. The unit is not heat-resistant so may
malfunction.
● DRIVER MUST NOT OPERATE OR VIEW THIS UNIT WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE.
Doing so will distract the driver and could cause a collision resulting in serious injury or property damage.
Connecting the included Car DC Adaptor
Before connection, consult your car owner’s manual or your dealer.
● Connect to the cigarette lighter socket of a vehicle that has a 12 V battery. It is not compatible with a vehicle that has a 24 V
battery.
● This is a special negative grounded Car DC Adaptor. Using this Car DC Adaptor with a plus grounded car can cause
malfunction and lead to fire.
Replacing the fuse
Replace only with the specified 125 V/250 V, 3.15 A fuse. Use
of any other type can cause fire.
Cautions
● To avoid draining your car battery
– Disconnect the Car DC Adaptor from the cigarette lighter after use. The Car DC Adaptor continues to consume some power
even if it is not being used, and if a battery pack is attached to this unit, it will start recharging which uses more power.
– Do not use the Car DC Adaptor for long periods when the engine is not running.
● Turn the unit off before stopping the engine while using Car DC Adaptor, otherwise resume play (→ 9) may not work.
● Leave some slack in the cord.
● No responsibility will be taken for damage that occurs due to faulty installation.
Left side of this unit
You can enjoy audio through your car audio system by connecting a car stereo cassette adaptor
(not included) to the headphone jack on the left side of this unit.
Using this unit with other equipment
Turn off all equipment before connecting and read the appropriate operating instructions.
Enjoying stereo audio
Enjoying with a television
Connect the video output from this unit directly to the television.
● The unit’s speakers do not have magnetic shielding. Do not place the unit near televisions, personal computers or other
devices easily influenced by magnetism. Do not keep this unit and magnetized cards (bank cards, commuter passes, etc.)
close together.
● If you raise the volume on the television while playing this unit, the volume may abruptly become very loud when you switch to
a television broadcast. Return the volume to its normal level before changing.
● Please use the provided Audio/video cable in the accessories.
If you use other Audio/video cables, video and audio may output incorrectly.
● When you connect Audio/Video cable to this unit, the LCD will be off, and video signal is output from VIDEO OUT Jack.
