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.

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
