Precautions

On safety/power sources

• Should any solid object or liquid fall

into the player, unplug the player, and
have it checked by qualified personnel
before operating it any further.

• For AC operation, check that the

player’s operating voltage is identical
with your local power supply (see
“Specifications”) and use the supplied
mains lead; do not use any other type.
The voltage selector is located on the
rear of the player .

• The player is not disconnected from the

AC power source (mains) as long as it is
connected to the wall outlet, even if the
player itself has been turned off.

• For battery operation, use eight R20

(size D) batteries.

• When the batteries are not to be used,

remove them to avoid damage that can
be caused by battery leakage or
corrosion.

• The nameplate indicating operating

voltage, power consumption, etc. is
located at the rear.

Notes
• To use the player on batteries, disconnect the mains lead from the player.
• Replace the batteries when the OPR/BATT indicator dims or when the

On placement/operation

• Do not leave the player in a location

near heat sources, or in a place subject
to direct sunlight, excessive dust or
mechanical shock.

• Do not place anything within 10 mm of

the side of the cabinet. The ventilation
holes must be unobstructed for the
player to operate properly and to
prolong the life of its components.

• Since a strong magnet is used for the

speakers, keep personal credit cards
using magnetic coding or spring-
wound watches away from the player
to prevent possible damage from the
magnet.

long time, set it in the playback mode to
warm it up for a few minutes before
