reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses
and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed
and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. However,
there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more
of the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different

FCC rF radiation exposure statement
Caution: To maintain compliance with the FCC's RF exposure
guidelines, place the CD Audio System at least 20cm from
nearby persons.
CAN ICES-3 (B) / NMB-3 (B)
Warnings:
• The AC power plug is used as disconnect device and it
should remain readily operable during intended used.
In order to disconnect the apparatus from the mains
completely, the AC power plug should be disconnected
from the mains socket outlet completely.
• The mains plug of apparatus should not be obstructed OR
should be easily accessed during intended use.
• Minimum 10 cm (4 inches) distances around the apparatus
for sufficient ventilations.
• The ventilation should not be impeded by covering the

constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.
ventilation openings with items such as newspaper, table-
cloths, curtains, etc.
• No naked flame sources such as lighted candles should be
placed on the apparatus.
On Safety
As the laser beam used in this compact disc player could
be harmful to the eyes, do not attempt to disassemble the
casing. Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.
• Do not put any foreign objects in the disc compartment.
If you do so, the laser beam interlock may be defeated
allowing the laser to remain on when the lid is opened.
• Should any objects or liquids fall into the unit, disconnect
the power supply and have the unit checked by qualified
personnel before any further operation.
On Operation
Since the CD system offers a wide dynamic range, the peaks
of the high level inputs are recorded with high fidelity, and
the noise level is very low. Do not turn up the volume while
listening to a part of the disc with no audio signals or very
low level inputs. If you do so, the speakers may be damaged
when the peak level of the sound is played. The lens of the
laser should be kept clean. Do not touch the lens. If you do
so, the lens may be damaged and the unit will not operate
correctly.
On Use
Never use the unit where it would be subject to:
- Heat sources such as radiators or air ducts.
- Direct sunlight.
- Excessive dust.
- Moisture or rain.
- Mechanical vibration or shock.
- Uneven surface.
• Do not place any heavy objects on top of the unit.
• When the unit is used with an AC power plug, do not wrap
the unit in a cloth, blanket, etc. If you do so, the temperature
inside and outside the unit may rise considerably, resulting
in malfunctioning of the unit.
• If the unit is brought directly from a cold to a warm
location, or is placed in a very damp room, the moisture
may condense on the lens inside the unit. Should this occur,
the unit will not operate. In this case, remove the disc and
leave the unit in a warm place for several hours until the
moisture evaporates.
• For the unit to operate at its best, it should not be subject to
temperatures below 41°F (5°C) or above 95°F (35°C).

• Apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing
and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be
placed on the apparatus.

ventilation. Do not place product in or on a bed, rug, in a
bookcase or cabinet that may prevent air flow through vent
openings.
• Do not place lighted candles, cigarettes, cigars, etc. on the
product.
• Connect power plug only to AC power source as marked on
the product.
• Care should be taken so that objects do not fall into the product.
