CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR PURCHASE
Your new CD 43 Compact Disc Player is designed to provide maximum enjoyment and years of trouble free service. If this is your first CD player, you will find the compact disc system a major step forward in the science of audio technology. By employing the most sophisticated digital and optical technologies, the compact disc not only offers the ultimate in sound reproduction, it also provides operating features which have never been seen before in audio equipment designed for home, such as fast access to any track on the disc, very
simple programming and armchair control.
Please read this manual thoroughly. It will explain the features and operation of your CD Player and help to ensure a trouble free installation. Please unpack your CD Player carefully. We recommend that you save the carton and packing material, as they will be helpful should you ever need to move your unit or return it for service.
Your CD Player is designed to work in a horizontal position and it is important to allow at least two inches of space behind the unit for adequate ventilation and for the cables. To avoid damage, never place the unit near radiators, in front of heating vents, in direct sunlight or in an excessively humid or dusty location.
