IMPORTANT! RESETTING THE SYSTEM MEMORY If this player is subject to a severe electric shock or a repeated, intentional series of incorrect key commands, the system memory may “freeze” and the player will not respond to any further key commands. If you find that the player is not responding when you operate the controls, first make sure that the batteries are not dead.

For repair or replacement, pack your unit in a padded box, enclose your check or money order payable to Emerson Radio Corp. in the amount of $9.00 (not required by California residents) to cover shipping and handling costs, and enclose a copy of your proof of purchase.
