which are designed to provide reasonable protection
against such interference in a residential installation.
However, there is no guarantee that interterence will not

This bocklet is available from the US Government
Printing Office, Washington, D.C., 20402, Stock No,
004-000-00345-4.
The above instructions apply only to units which
will be operated in the United States.
Dear Customer:
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 your equipmentat 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 fora
lifetime.
We Want You Listening For A Lifetime
Used wisely, yournew 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
Industries Association's Consumer Electronics Group recommend
you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise. This list of sound
levels is included for your protection.
Decibel
Level Example
30 Quiet library, soft whispers
40 Living room, refrigerator, bedroom away from traffic
50 Light traffic, normal conversation, quiet office
60 Air conditioner at 20 feet, sewing machine
70 Vacuum cleaner, hair dryer, noisy restaurant
80 Average city traffic, garbage disposals, alarm clock
at two feet.
THE FOLLOWING NOISES CAN BE DANGEROUS
UNDER CONSTANT EXPOSURE
90 Subway, motorcycle, truck traffic, lawn mower
100 Garbage truck, chain saw, pneumatic drill
120 Rock band concert in front of speakers, thunderclap
140 Gunshot blast, jet plane
180 Rocket launching pad

away
from
devices
such
as
cassette
decks
which
are
sensitive
to
magnetic
fields.
When
FM
or
AM
stations
are
being
received,
signal
noise
may
be
generated
if
the
player
is
turned
on.
Turn
off
the
player
when
not
in
use.
Also,
if
there
is
signal
noise
when
receiving
radio
stations
with
an
indoor
antenna,
adjust
the
position
or
direction
of
the
antenna.
INSTALL
THE
PLAYER
IN
A
WELL
VENTILATED
PLACE
AWAY
FROM
HEAT
AND
HUMIDITY
Do
not
install
the
player
in
a
location
subject
to
direct
sunlight,
or
near
a
stove
or
radiator
etc.
This
could
adversely
affect
the
cabinet
and
internal
components.
Also
avoid
installing
the
player

player
could
be
affected
by
smoke,
steam,
or

the
built-in
disc-drive
motor
continues
rotating
even
when
the
player
is in
pause
mode,
do
not
leave
the
player
in
pause
mode
for
an
extended
period
of
time.
This
will
reduce
the
motor's
service
life.

the
TV
for
long
periods
of
time,
tum
the
player off.
CONDENSATION

if
the
player
is
brought
from
cool
surroundings

of the arrow.
[2] Take out the two accessory size “AAA” (IEC RO3) dry
cell batteries, and insert them into the battery
compartment in accordance with the display (B, ©)
inside the compartment.
i Close the cover of the battery case.
Incorrect use of batteries may cause leakage or rupture.
Always be sure to follow these guidelines:
A. Always insert batteries into the battery compartment
correctly matching the positive @ and negative ©
polarities, as shown by the display inside the
compartment
B. Never mix new and used batteries.
C. Batteries of the same size may have different voltages,
depending on brand. Do not mix different brands of
batteries.
When operating the remote contro! unit, point the unit’s
infrared signal transmitter at the remote control receiver
(REMOTE SENSOR) on the front panel of the player. The
remote control unit can be used within a range of about 7
meters (23 feet) from the remote sensor, and within angles of
up to about 30 degrees.
NOTES FOR USING THE REMOTE CONTROL UNIT
@ if a plug is connected to the CONTROL IN terminal at
the rear of the player, remote control operations cannot
be done with the remote control unit aimed at the player's
remote control sensor. Aim the remote contro! unit at
the AV amplifier or the component display’s sensor
instead. :
@ If there is any obstacle between the remote control unit
and the player, or if the unit is held at too large an angle
relative to the front panel of the player, the signal from
the remote control unit will fail to reach the remote
sensor.
@ if the player is operating in the vicinity of other appliances
generating infrared rays, or if other remote control devices
using infrared rays are used near the player, the player
may operate improperly. Conversely, if the player's
remote control unit is operated in the vicinity of other
appliances which use an infrared remote control device,
the other appliance may operate improperly. If this should
happen, change the place of installation so that improper
operation does not occur.
@ if the range of operation of the remote control unit
becomes too short, replace the batteries.
@ When the unit is not to be used for a long period of time
(more than one month), remove the batteries to prevent
them from leaking inside the compartment. If leakage
occurs, wipe up the liquid inside the compartment before
inserting new batteries.
@ Do not piace books or other objects on the remote control
unit, since they might depress the buttons and run down
the batteries.
@ Ifthe remote control sensor window is in a position where
itreceives strong light such as sunlight or fluorescent light,
control may not be possible.
