trained technician.

• 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 car-
tridge and stylus of a record player. Although this prod-
uct incorporates a laser pick-up lens, it is completely safe
when operated according to directions.

damaged, warped, or cracked discs.

voltage.
• Do not touch the pick-up lens which is located inside
the disc compartment. To keep dust from collecting on
the pick-up lens, do not leave the compartment door
open for an extended period of time. If the lens
becomes dirty, clean it with a soft brush, or use an air
blower brush designed for camera lenses.
• The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping and
splashing.

Important Battery Information

• Remove the batteries to avoid leakage if you do not
use your remote control for more than one month.
Discard leaky batteries immediately as leaking batteries
may cause skin burns or other personal injuries. Dispose
of batteries in the proper manner, according to provin-
cial and local regulations. Any battery may leak elec-
trolyte if mixed with a different battery type, if inserted
incorrectly, if all batteries are not replaced at the same
time, if disposed of in fire, or if an attempt is made to
charge a battery not intended to be recharged.

discontinue use in potentially hazardous situations.

high that you are unable to hear what is around you.

Handling CDs

• Do not touch the signal surfaces. Hold CDs by the
edges, or by one edge and the hole. Do not affix labels or
adhesive tapes to the label surfaces. Do not scratch or
damage the label. CDs rotate at high speeds inside the
player. Do not use damaged (cracked or warped) CDs

Cleaning CDs

• Dirty CDs can cause poor sound quality. Always keep
CDs clean by wiping them gently with a soft cloth from
the inner edge toward the outer perimeter.
• If a CD becomes dirty, wet a soft cloth in water, wring it
out well, wipe the dirt away gently, and then remove any
water drops with a dry cloth.
• Do not use record cleaning sprays or antistatic agents
on CDs. Also, never clean CDs with benzene, thinner, or
other volatile solvents which may cause damage to disc
surface

CD Lens Care

When your CD lens gets dirty it can also cause the system
to output poor sound quality. To clean the lens you will
need to purchase a CD lens cleaner which can maintain
the output sound quality of your system. For instructions
on cleaning the CD lens, refer to the ones accompanying
the lens cleaner.
