This equipment generates, uses, and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to
radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does
cause harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning
the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by
one or more of the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the
equipment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a
circuit different from that to which the receiver
is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/ TV

should be approximately 5 meters (16 feet). If
this operational distance decreases, replace the
batteries with new ones.
NOTES
•When operating with the remote control, point
the top of the remote control toward the
player.
•If the unit is not going to be used for an
extended period of time, remove the batteries
to prevent possible electrolyte leakage.

and the unit is exposed to intense light, such
as direct sunlight
- There is fluorescent lighting near the remote
sensor.
- Other remote controls are used nearby
(those of a TV set, etc.).
Two adaptors are supplied with this unit. To
