The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, with-
in 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 trian-
gle is intended to alert the user to the presence
of important operating and maintenance (servic-
ing) instructions in the literature accompanying
the appliance.

ratus.
11 Only use attachments/accessories specified by the
manufacturer.
12 Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table
specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the appa-
ratus. 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.
The apparatus draws nominal non-operating power from
•
the AC outlet with its POWER or STANDBY/ON switch not in
the ON position.
The mains plug is used as the disconnect device, the
•
disconnect device shall remain readily operable.
Caution should be taken when using earphones or
•
headphones with the product because excessive sound
pressure (volume) from earphones or headphones can
cause hearing loss.
CAUTION
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 AC outlet so that you can easily grasp the power
cord plug at any time.
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.
WARNING

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 WAV audio files recorded
on them. It can also playback 8cm discs.
Handling of compact discs

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, 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.

•
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.
Never use a commercially available CD stabilizer. Using
•
stabilizers with this player will damage the mechanism and
cause it to malfunction.
Do not use cracked discs.
•
Only use circular compact discs. Avoid using non-circular
•
promotional discs, etc.
Music discs with copy control, a copy-protection system,
•
