• PRECAUTIONS
• If no sound is emitted from the speakers when the volume is raised, lower the volume, switch the
STANDBY/ON button to STANDBY, and check to see if the speaker cords are properly
connected.
• This unit contains a muting circuit and it takes about 2 – 4 seconds until this unit reaches stable
operation after switching the STANDBY/ON.
• Never open the covers or touch the inside or insert a metal object. Any of these could cause an
electric shock or a fault.
• When a thunder starts, unplug the power cord and disconnect the antenna.
• The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing.
• To clean cabinet and panels when dirty, clean off dirt on the surfaces with a dry cloth. Never use
thinner, benzene or alcohol, for these will damage the surface finish.
• Protect the unit against excessive heat (e.g. direct sunlight), dust and moisture.
• Discs which can be played on the CD player have the following mark on them:
• Be careful not to damage the power supply cord. Be sure to hold the plug when pulling it out; do
not pull the cord.
• Do not install the set in a confined location; otherwise, heat dissipation will be poor and
malfunctions may occur.
• Do not place foreign objects in the disc compartment. It may cause damage to the mechanism.
• Do not move the sound system suddenly from a very cold room into a warm room. When a chilled
CD player is moved suddenly to a warm location, condensation may form on the pickup lens,
preventing proper operation. In this case, wait 1 – 2 hours before resuming play.
• During playback, if the CD player is subjected to a sudden shock or jolt, some noise may be
produced. This is not a malfunction.
• The CD player has wide dynamic range. As a result, if you turn your amplifier's volume up too high
during soft (low volume) parts of a program, your speakers may be damaged when the dynamic
range of a sudden loud passage is produced.
• Do not store discs in high-temperature, high-humidity locations. The discs may develop warps and
become unable to play. Also, discs with moisture on them may be unplayable. Wipe any moisture
off with a soft, dry cloth, and be sure discs are fully dry before using.
• Do not leave a disc inside the CD player when it is not used for a long period.
• Please do not use compact discs with cellophane or with labels attached or those CD with peeled
off stains, such as rental CD. If such discs were used on a CD player, they may get trapped inside
the unit and cause malfunction.
• CDs with special shapes (heart-shaped CDs, octagonal CDs etc.) cannot be
played on this set.
Attempting to do so may damage the set. Do not use such CDs.
