Cautions on moving the CD changer
Before moving the changer to another location, be sure to
remove all discs from the slots and turn off the changer.
Failure to do so will expose the compact discs and the changer
to the risk of severe damage.
CAUTION
The changer mechanism automatically locks when power is
turned off, to protect it against damage in transport.
Therefore, always press POWER and make sure "OFF" appears
on the display before you unplug the changer.
Other cautions
Outside light or noise may sometimes cause the changer to
detect a disc when there isn't one. However, the changer always
correctly detects the disc when in the play mode no matter what.
Do not leave the front panel open. Infiltrating dust or other mat-
ter may lead to damage or malfunctions.
Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you've just pur-
chased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it's time to
consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your equip-
ment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries
Association's Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the
most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that
lets the sound come through loud and clear without annoying blar-
ing or distortion—and, most importantly, without affecting your sen-
sitive hearing.
We recommend you to avoid prolonged exposure to excessive
noise.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing "comfort level"
adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds "normal" can
actually be loud and harmful to your hearing.
Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level
BEFORE your hearing adapts.
To establish a safe level:
e Start your volume control at a low setting.
e Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and
clearly, and without distortion.
Once you have established a comfortable sound level:
e Set the dial and leave it there.
Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage
or loss in the future. After all, we want you listening for a lifetime.
