Precautions
Discs that this unit CAN play
• Audio CD

recording standard used for Audio CDs.
Discs that this unit CANNOT play
• CD-R/CD-RW other than those recorded in music CD format
• CD-R/CD-RW of poor recording quality, CD-R/CD-RW that
has scratches or are dirty, or CD-R/CD-RW recorded with an
incompatible recording device
• CD-R/CD-RW which is finalized incorrectly
Notes on discs
• Before playing, clean the CD with a
cleaning cloth. Wipe the CD from the
center out. If there is a scratch, dirt or
fingerprints on the CD, it may cause
tracking error.
• Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially
available cleaners or anti-static spray intended for vinyl LPs.
• Do not expose the CD to direct sunlight or heat sources such as hot
air ducts, nor leave it in a car parked in direct sunlight as there can
be a considerable rise in temperature inside the car.
• Do not stick paper or sticker on the CD, nor scratch the surface of
the CD.
• After playing, store the CD in its case.
On safety
• As the laser beam used in the CD player section is harmful to the
eyes, do not attempt to disassemble the casing. Refer servicing to
qualified personnel only.
• 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.
• Discs with non-standard shapes (e.g., heart, square, star) cannot be
played on this player. Attempting to do so may damage the player.
Do not use such discs.
On power sources
• For AC operation, use the supplied AC power cord; do not use any
other type.
• 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.
• Unplug the player from the wall outlet when it is not be used for an
extended period of time.
• 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 bottom.
On placement
• Do not leave the player in a location near heat sources, in a place
subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust or mechanical shock or in
a car subject to the direct rays of the sun.
• Do not place the player on an inclined or unstable place.
• 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 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.
On operation
• If the player is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, or
is placed in a very damp room, moisture may condense on the lens
inside the CD player section. Should this occur, the player will not
operate properly. In this case, remove the CD and wait about an
hour for the moisture to evaporate.
• If the player has not been used for a long time, set it in the playback
mode to warm it up for a few minutes before inserting a cassette.
Notes on cassettes
• Break off the cassette tab from
side A or B to prevent accidental
recording. If you want to reuse
the tape for recording, cover the
broken tab with adhesive tape.
