WARNING
This product may contain chemicals listed in Proposition 65 (http://www.oehha. ca.
gov/prop65/prop65_list/Newlist.h tml) that may be known to cause cance r, birth
defects or other reproductive harm.

Before Use
1. Choose unit installation location carefully. Avoid placin g it in dir ect sunlight or close to a
source of heat. Also avoid loca tions subject to vibrations and e xcess ive dust, cold or
moisture. Keep away from sources that hum, such as transformers or motors.
2. Do not open the cabinet as this might result in damage to the circuitry or electrical shock,
if a foreign object should get into the set, contact your dealer.
3. Be sure no t to handle discs with dirty fingers. Never insert a disc that has a crack on the
surface.
4. When removing the power plug from the wall outlet, always pull directly on the plug, never
pull the cord.
5. To keep the laser pickup cle an, do not touch it, and do not forget to close the disc tray.
6. Do not att empt to clean the unit with chemical solvents as this might damage the finish.
Use a clean, dry cloth.
7. In order t o shut off the power to this product completely, unplug the power cord from the
wall outlet. Be sure to unplug the unit if you do not int end to use it for an extended period
of time, such as a vacation.
8. Keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.
Beware of Condensation
When the player (or a compact disc) is moved from a cold to a warm p lace or is used after a
sudden temperatur e change, there is a danger of condensation. Water vapor in the air could
condense on the mechanism or the laser pickup. If droplets of water form on thes e parts,
correct playback will be impossible because the las er cannot read the information f rom the
disc correctly. To prevent this, if you are going to use the player in a c ondition where
condensation could occur, you should leave the p layer for 1 or 2 hours after plugging it into
an AC outlet depending on the amount of condensation. If this is done, the p layer will
stabilize at the temperature of its surroundings.
Handling Records
 Do not touch the record' s grooves. Only handle records by the edges or the label with
clean hands. Grease or dirt can leave a residue on the record’s surface that will gradually
deteriorate the quality of your re cord.
 Use soft anti-static cloth to gently wipe the record surface when the record has become
dirty when not in use.
 Store records upright on their edges. Flat storage can make it become curved.
 Avoid placing it in direct sunlight or close to a source of heat su ch as radiators, stoves.
Also avoid location subject to vibration and excessive dust, heat, cold or moisture.
How to Replace the Stylus
Caution:
 Do not remove or bend the stylus.
 Do not touch the needle, which could injure your hand.
 Turn off the unit's power before you replace the stylus.
 Keep out of th e reach of children.

Discs
 Depending on the quality of the disc and the condition of the recording, some CD-R/CD-
RW discs may not be playable.
 Always place the disc on the disc tray wi th the label side upward(compact discs can be
played or recorded only on on e side)
 To move a disc from its storage case, press down on the center of the case and lift the
disc out, holding it ca reful ly by the e dges.
 If the disc becomes dirty, wip e the surface from the center
Hole outward towards the outer edge with a soft, dry cloth.
 Never use such chemicals as record spray, antistatic sprays or fluid, 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 use to avoid dust and scratches that could
cause the laser pick up “skip”.
 Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or high humidity and temperature for exten ded
periods. Long exposure to high temperatures will warp the disc.
 Printabl e CD-R and CD-RW discs are not recommended, as the label side might be sticky
and damage the unit.
 Use a soft oil-based felt-tipped pen to write the information on the label side. Never use a
ball-point or hard-tipped pen, as this may cause damage to th e recorded side.
 Do not use CDs with an irregular shape(octagonal, heart shaped, business card size,
etc).CDs of this sort can damage the unit:
 If you have any doubts about CD-R/CD-RW discs, read the precautions supplied w ith the
