CAUTIONS ABOUT BATTERIES
This product uses batteries. Misuse of batteries could cause a
leak, rupture or other trouble. Always abide by the following
precautions when using batteries.
• Never recharge non-rechargeable batteries. The batter-
ies could rupture or leak, causing fire or injury.
• When installing batteries, pay attention to the polarity
indications (plus/minus (+/–) orientation), and install
them correctly in the battery compartment as indicat-
ed. Putting them in backward could make the batteries
rupture or leak, causing fire, injury or stains around
them.
• When you store or dispose batteries, isolate their termi-
nals with insulation tape or something like that to pre-
vent them from contacting other batteries or metallic
objects.
• When throwing used batteries away, follow the dispos-
al instructions indicated on the batteries and the local
disposal laws.
• Do not use batteries other than those specified. Do not
mix and use new and old batteries or different types of
batteries together. The batteries could rupture or leak,
causing fire, injury or stains around them.
• Do not carry or store batteries together with small
metal objects. The batteries could short, causing leak,
rupture or other trouble.
• Do not heat or disassemble batteries. Do not put them
in fire or water. Batteries could rupture or leak, causing
fire, injury or stains around them.
• If the battery fluid leaks, wipe away any fluid on the
battery case before inserting new batteries. If the bat-
tery fluid gets in an eye, it could cause loss of eyesight.
If fluid does enter an eye, wash it out thoroughly with
clean water without rubbing the eye and then consult
a doctor immediately. If the fluid gets on a person’s
body or clothing, it could cause skin injuries or burns.
If this should happen, wash it off with clean water and
then consult a doctor immediately.
• The unit power should be off when you install and
replace batteries.
• Remove the batteries if you do not plan to use the unit
for a long time. Batteries could rupture or leak, causing
fire, injury or stains around them. If the battery fluid
leaks, wipe away any fluid on the battery compartment
before inserting new batteries.
• Do not disassemble a battery. The acid inside the bat-
tery could harm skin or clothing.

always store them in a clean state.
0Do not use any record spray, anti-static solutions, benzene,
paint thinner or other chemical agents to clean CDs as they
could damage the delicate playing surface. It may cause CDs
to become unplayable.
0Do not apply labels or other materials to discs. Do not use
discs that have had tape, stickers or other materials applied
to their surface. Do not use discs that have sticky residue
from stickers, etc. Such discs could become stuck in the unit
or cause it to malfunction.
0Never use a commercially available CD stabilizer.
0Using stabilizers with this player will damage the mechanism
and cause it to malfunction.
0Do not use cracked discs.
0Only use circular compact discs. Avoid using non-circular pro-
motional, etc. discs.
0Copy Control CDs have been sold by several record compa-
nies in an attempt to protect their copyrights. Since some of
these discs do not comply with the CD specifications, they
may not be playable on the unit.
Slot loading of discs
1. As shown in the illustration, hold the disc with the labeled
side up and insert it part way into the slot.
2. Push the disc in further until just before it disappears. It will
automatically be drawn in to the slot.
If a disc will not load properly
If a disc becomes stuck during insertion, for example, and is diffi-
cult to push, do not try to force the disc in. Pull the disc out once,
press the EJECT button, and then try inserting it again. (Trying
to force the disc in could damage the unit.)
