The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol,
within equilateral triangle, is intended to
alert the user to the presence of uninsulated
“dangerous voltage” within the product’s
enclosure that may be of sufficient
magnitude to constitute a risk of electric
shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral
triangle is intended to alert the user to
the presence of important operating and
maintenance (servicing) instructions in the
literature accompanying the appliance.
WARNING: TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK
HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS
APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
1 Read these instructions.
2 Keep these instructions.
3 Heed all warnings.
4 Follow all instructions.
5 Do not use this apparatus near water.

9 Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized
or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two
blades with one wider than the other. A grounding
type plug has two blades and a third grounding
prong. The wide blade or the third prong are
provided for your safety. If the provided plug does
not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for
replacement of the obsolete outlet.
10 Protect the power cord from being walked on
or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience
receptacles, and the point where they exit from the
apparatus.
11 Only use attachments/accessories specified by the
manufacturer.
12 Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or
table specied by the manufacturer, or sold with the
apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when
moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid
injury from tip-over.
13 Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or
when unused for long periods of time.
14 Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Servicing is required when the apparatus has been
damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or
plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects
have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has
been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate
normally, or has been dropped.
Do not expose this apparatus to drips or splashes.
•
Do not place any objects filled with liquids, such as
•
vases, on the apparatus.
Do not install this apparatus in a confined space such
•
as a book case or similar unit.
The apparatus draws nominal non-operating power
•
from the AC outlet with its POWER or STANDBY/ON
switch not in the ON position.
The apparatus should be located close enough to the
•
AC outlet so that you can easily grasp the power cord
plug at any time.
The mains plug is used as the disconnect device, the
•
disconnect device shall remain readily operable.
Products with Class I construction are equipped with a
•
power supply cord that has a grounding plug. The cord
of such a product must be plugged into an AC outlet
that has a protective grounding connection.
If the product uses batteries (including a battery pack
•
or installed batteries), they should not be exposed to
sunshine, fire or excessive heat.
CAUTION for products that use replaceable lithium
•
batteries: there is danger of explosion if a battery is
replaced with an incorrect type of battery. Replace only
with the same or equivalent type.
Caution should be taken when using earphones or
•
headphones with the product because excessive
sound pressure (volume) from earphones or head-
phones can cause hearing loss.
In North America use only on 120V supply.

Safety Information
ªCAUTIONS 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
•
batteries 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
indicated. 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 terminals
•
with insulation tape or something like that to prevent
them from contacting other batteries or metallic objects.
When throwing used batteries away, follow the
•
disposal 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 battery 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
•
battery could harm skin or clothing.

during operation because invisible laser radiation emitted
inside of this product is completely confined in the
protective housings.
The label required in this regulation is shown at 1.
Cautions:
DO NOT REMOVE THE PROTECTIVE HOUSING USING A
•
SCREWDRIVER.
USE OF CONTROLS OR ADJUSTMENTS OR
•
PERFORMANCE OF PROCEDURES OTHER THAN THOSE

About discs
In addition to commercially-available music CDs, this unit
can play CD-R discs that have been recorded in audio CD
(CD-DA) format, as well as CD-R discs that have MP3 audio
and WAV audio files recorded on them.

•
center of the disc holder, then lift the disc out, holding
it carefully by the edges.
Do not touch the signal side (the unlabeled side).
•
Fingerprints, oils and other substances can cause errors
during playback.
To clean the signal side of a disc, wipe gently with a soft
•
dry cloth from the center towards the outside edge.
Dirt on discs can lower the sound quality, so clean
them and always store them in a clean state.
Do not use any record spray, anti-static solutions,
