This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation
is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may
not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must
accept any interference received, including interference that
may cause undesired operation.
In accordance with FCC requirements, changes or modifica-
tions not expressly approved by Thomson multimedia Inc.
could void the user’s authority to operate this product.
This device generates and uses radio frequency (RF) energy,
and if not installed and used properly, this equipment may
cause interference to radio and television reception.
If this equipment does cause interference to radio or televi-
sion reception (which you can determine by unplugging the
unit), try to correct the interference by one or more of the fol-
lowing measures:
• Re-orient the receiving antenna (that is, the antenna for the
radio or television that is "receiving" the interference).
• Move the unit away from the equipment that is receiving
interference.
• Plug the unit into a different wall outlet so that the unit
and the equipment receiving interference are on different
branch circuits.
If these measures do not eliminate the interference, please
consult your dealer or an experienced radio/television techni-
cian for additional suggestions. Also, the Federal
Communications Commission has prepared a helpful booklet,
"How To Identify and Resolve Radio TV Interference
Problems." This booklet is available from the U.S. Government
Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402. Please specify stock
number 004-000-00345-4 when ordering copies.
This product complies with DHHS Rules 21 CFR Subchapter J.
Applicable at the date of manufacture.
For Your Safety
The AC power plug is polarized (one blade is wider than the
other) and only fits into AC power outlets one way. If the plug
won’t go into the outlet complete-
ly, turn the plug over and try to
insert it the other way. If it still
won’t fit, contact a qualified electri-
cian to change the outlet, or use a
different one. Do not attempt to
bypass this safety feature.
CAUTION: TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK,
MATCH WIDE BLADE OF PLUG TO WIDE
SLOT, FULLY INSERT.
RECORD
Have a Blast- Just Not in Your Eardrums
Make sure you turn down the volume on the
unit before you put on headphones. Increase
the volume to the desired level only after head-
phone are in place.
