that may cause undesired operation.
In accordance with FCC requirements, changes or modifications not expressly approved by Thomson Consumer Electronics

This product complies with DHHS Rules 21 CFR Subchapter J. Applicable at the date of manufacture.
This device generates and uses radio frequency (RF) energy, and if not installed and used properly, this equipment may
cause interference to radio and television reception.
This equipment has been type tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B Computing Device in accordance
with the specifications of FCC Rules. These rules are designed to provide reasonable protection against radio and television
interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation.
If this equipment does cause interference to radio or television reception (which you can determine by turning the
equipment off and on), try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient the receiving antenna (that is, the antenna for the radio or television that is "receiving" the interference).
• Change the position of the unit with respect to the radio or television equipment that is receiving interference.
• Move the unit away from the equipment that is receiving interference.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

• Never open the cabinet under any circumstances. Any repairs or internal adjustments should be made only by a trained
technician.
• Warning: Never operate this product with the cabinet removed.
• Do not touch the player with wet hands. If any liquid enters the player cabinet, take the player to a trained technician
for inspection.
• This compact disc player uses a laser to read the music on the disc. The laser mechanism corresponds to the cartridge
and stylus of a record player. Although this product incorporates a laser pick-up lens, it is completely safe when operated
according to directions.
• Discs rotate at high speed inside the player. Do not use damaged, warped, or cracked discs.

FOR YOUR SAFETY

The AC power plug is polarized (one blade is wider than the other) and only fits into AC power outlets
one way. If the plug won't go into the outlet completely, turn the plug over and try to insert it the
other way. If it still won't fit, contact a qualified electrician to change the outlet, or use a different
one. Do not attempt to bypass this safety feature.
