accessory recommended by the manufacturer.
9) A product and cart combination should be moved with
care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces
may cause the product and cart combination to overturn.
10) Ventilation — Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for
ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the product and to protect
it from overheating, and these openings must not be blocked or covered.
The openings should never be blocked by placing the product on a bed,
sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This product should not be placed in a
built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is
provided or the manufacturer’s instructions have been adhered to.
11) Power Sources — This product should be operated only from the
type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure
of the type of power supply to your home, consult your product dealer or
local power company. For products intended to operate from battery
power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.
12) Grounding or Polarization — This product may be equipped with a
polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug having one blade wider
than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This
is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet,

lint-free cloth:
<Never use chemicals such as record (LP) sprays, antistatic
sprays or fluids, benzine or thinner to clean the discs. Such
chemicals will do irreparable damage to the disc’s plastic
surface.
<Discs should be returned to their cases after each use to avoid
dust and scratches that may eventually cause your disc to
skip.
<Do not expose discs to direct sunlight, high humidity, or high
temperatures for extended periods. Long exposure to high
temperatures will warp the disc.
<Do not play any disc that is warped, scratched, deformed or
damaged. Playing such discs may cause irreparable harm to
the playback mechanism.
