PRECAUTIONS

On safety

As the laser beam used in this compact disc player is harmful to the eyes, do not attempt to
disassemble the casing. Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.
Do not put any foreign objects in the safety slot inside the disc compartment. If you do so, the
laser beam may come out when the lid is opened.
Do not put any foreign objects in the DC IN 6V (external power input) jack.
Should any solid objects or liquid fall into the unit, disconnect the power supply and have the
unit checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.

On operation

Since the CD system offers a wide dynamic range, the peaks of the high level inputs are
recorded with high fidelity, and the noise level is very low. Do not turn up the volume while
listening to a part of the disc with no audio signals or very low level inputs. If you do so,
the speakers may be damaged when the peak level of the sound is played. The lens on the disc
table should be kept clean. Do not touch the lens or poke at it. If you do so, the lens may be
damaged and the unit will not operate properly.

On installation

Never install the unit where it would be subjected to:

- heat sources such as radiators or airducts.

- direct sunlight.

- excessive dust.

to rain or moisture.
To avoid electrical shock, do not open the cabinet.
Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.

- moisture or rain.

- mechanical vibration or shock.

- unleveled surface.
 Do not place any heavy object on top of the unit.
 When the unit is used with a AC power adaptor, do not wrap the unit in a cloth, blanket, etc.

If you do so, the temperature inside and outside the unit may rise considerably, resulting in
malfunctioning of the unit or serious accidents.

 If the unit 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 unit. Should this occur, the unit will not
operate. In this case, remove the disc and leave the unit in a warm place for several

hours until the moisture evaporates.

 For the unit to operate at its best, it should not be subjected to temperatures below 5 C

(41 F) or above 35 C (95 F).

Notes on headphones/earphone

Do not use headphones/earphone while driving, cycling, or operating any motorized vehicle,
it may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in some areas. It can also be potentially dangerous
to play your headsets at high volume while walking, especially at pedestrian crossings. You
should exercise extreme caution or discontinue use in potentially hazardous situations.
Avoid using headphones/earphone at high volume. Hearing experts advise against continuous,
loud and extended play. If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce volume or discontinue
use.
Keep the volume at a moderate level. This will allow you to hear outside sounds and to be
considerate to the people around you.
If you have any questions or problems concerning your unit, please consult your nearest dealer.

Digital Anti-Shock System

The Digital Anti-Shock System "DASS" incorporates a special electronic circuit that
prevents sound from skipping when the unit is subjected to shocks and vibration
during play.

When you start playback, the Anti-Shock System turn on and " " indicator
appears in the display to prevent sound skipping.

When the unit receives a physical shock which prevents the laser pick-up from
"reading" the CD, this system immediately starts playing the sound stored in its
memory and continues until the laser pick-up recovers.

NOTES:

 In the "DIGITAL ANTI-SHOCK SYSTEM", battery power consumption is more

because the disc rotates faster than normal and the memory circuit is active.

 When the Digital Anti-Shock System is switched on or off, the sound will be interrupted

for a short time. This is normal.

 Under some conditions, noise may be heard or sound skipping may occur.
