order that long time and trouble free performance can possibly be
obtained:
=Ensure not to caress the rain bow side of the disc; handle
the disc by the edge.
=Long time exposure to sunshine, high temperatures and
humidity will damage the disc. And keep storage area clean.
=Avoid sticking labels on both sides of a disc. Writing with
pointed articles on the disc should be strictly avoided.
=Clean the disc wiping the centre and then working out to the
edge with a dry & soft cloth or a disc brush. Avoid any
cleansing lotion or chemical eradicator.

NOTES:
NOTE: When external headphones/earphones are connected, the speakers will
be muted.
=If a particular FM (STEREO) station is weak, or you hear too much
background noise, try moving the band selector switch to the FM (MONO)
position. This can often result in a much clearer reception.
=When the band selector switch is set to FM ST. and a stereo broadcast is on

STEREO PHONES JACK
A stereo phones jack has been provided on the side of the player so that you can
listen without disturbing others. To use this jack, plug in the headphones/
earphones (NOT INCLUDED) and adjust the VOLUME control to a preferred level.
ANTI-SHOCK PROTECTION
A special circuitry inside the player guarantees that there will be no sound
skipping when the player is subject to shock and shaking in music playback.
The laser scans the CD/MP3 disc and saves data for up to 60/120 seconds
ahead of where the playback is on the disc. In case of shocks or shaking or
vibrations, the player reads from the memory until the laser can read CD again.
But if there is too much vicious vibration or shaking exerted on the player, the
player may malfunction and sound skipping is caused.
When this happens, place the player on a level table where no vibration will be
brought. Normal sound will resume immediately.
