connector and port don’t join with reasonable ease, they probably don’t match. Make sure that the
connector matches the port and that you have positioned the connector correctly in relation to the port.

3. Keeping DA-300E within acceptable temperatures: Operate DA-300E in a place where the temperature
is always between 0º and 45º C (32º to 95º F). DA-300E play time might temporarily shorten in low­temperature conditions.

a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth. Avoid getting moisture in openings. Don’ t use window cleaners,
