Before Use
1. Choose unit installation location carefully. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight or close to
a source of heat. Also avoid locations subject to vibrations and excessive dust, cold or
moisture. Keep away from sources that hum, such as transformers or motors.
2. Do not open the cabinet as this might result in damage to the circuitry or electrical shock,
if a foreign object should get inside the set, contact your dealer.
3. Be sure not to handle discs with dirty fingers. Never insert a disc that has a crack on the
surface.
4. When removing the power plug from the wall outlet, always pull directly on the plug,
never pull the cord.
5. To keep the laser pickup clean, do not touch it, and do not forget to close the disc tray.
6. Do not attempt to clean the unit with chemical solvents as this might damage the finish.
Use a clean, dry cloth.
7. In order to shut off the power to this product completely, unplug the power cord from
the wall outlet. Be sure to unplug the unit if you do not intend to use it for an extended
period of time, such as while on a vacation.
8. Keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.
Beware of Condensation
When the player (or a compact disc) is moved from a cold to a warm place or is used after a
sudden temperature change, there is a danger of condensation. Water vapor in the air could
condense on the mechanism or the laser pickup. If droplets of water form on these parts, correct playback may be impossible because the laser cannot read the information from the disc
correctly. To prevent this, if you are going to use the player in a condition where condensation could occur, you should leave the player for 1 or 2 hours after plugging it into an AC
outlet depending on the amount of condensation. If this is correctly done, the player will
stabilize at the temperature of its surroundings.
Handling Records
• Do not touch the record’s grooves. Only handle records by the ledges or the label with
clean hands. Dirty Handling can leave a residue on the record’s surface that will gradually
deteriorate the quality of your record.

Page 7
• Use a soft anti-static cloth to gently wipe the record’s surface when the record has become
dirty.
• Keep records in their shield when not in use.
• Store records upright on their edges. Storing horizontally may warp record or curve the
record
• Avoid placing it in direct sunlight or close to a source of heat such as radiators, stoves. Also
avoid locations subject to vibration and excessive dust, heat, cold or moisture.
How to Replace the Stylus
e stylus should last about 50 hours under normal use. However, it is recommenced that
the stylus be replaced as soon as you notice a change in sound quality. Prolonged use of a
worn-out stylus may damage the record. e highest speed setting of 78-RPM will wear out
the stylus more quickly.
Caution
• Do not remove or bend the stylus.
• Do not touch the needle, which may injure your hand/nger.
• Turn o the unit’s power before you replace the stylus.
• Keep out of the reach of children.
• Avoid direct sunlight and being close to a source of heat.
Removing the old stylus
1. Set a screwdriver at the tip of the stylus and push
downward, in the direction “A” (as in the diagram).
2. Remove the stylus by pulling it forward and down.
Installing a new stylus
1. Hold the tip of the stylus and insert the other edge
by pressing toward the direction “B” (as in the
diagram).
2. Push upward in the direction “C” (as in the diagram) until it locks at the tip.

Discs
Please use CD, CD-R and CD-RW discs bearing the “DIGITAL AUDIO” mark.
This unit CANNOT RECORD CD-R and CD-RW discs
designed for computer systems.
• “CD-R” and “CD-RW” discs designed for computer systems and properly recorded by a
computer are playable, but this unit cannot record, finalize nor erase them.
• Depending on the quality of the disc and the condition of the recording, some CD-R/
CDRW disc may not be playable.
• Always place the disc on the disc tray with the label side up (compact discs can be played or
recorded only on one side)
• To move a disc from its storage case, press down on the center of the case and lift the disc
out, holding it carefully by the edges.
• Should the disc become dirty, wipe the surface from the center hole outward towards the
outer edge with a soft, dry cloth.
• Never use chemicals such as record spray, antistatic sprays or uid, benzine or thinner to
clean the discs. Such chemicals will do irreparable damage to the disc’s plastic Surface.
• Discs should be returned to their cases after use to avoid dust and scratches that could cause
the laser to “skip”.
• Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or high humidity and temperature for extended
periods. Long exposure to high temperatures will wrap the disc.
• Printable CD-R and CD-RW discs are not recommended, as the label side might be sticky
and damage the unit.
• Use a soft oil-based felt-tipped pen to write the information on the label side. Never use a
8
Page 9
ballpoint or hard-tipped pen, as this may cause damage to the recorded side.
• Do not use CDs with an irregular shape (octagonal, heart shaped, business card size, etc).
CDs of this sort can damage the unit:
• If you have any doubts of using CD-R/CD-RW disc, read the precautions supplied with
the disc, or contact the disc manufactures directly.
Connections

RECORDING to a CD
About CD-R and CD-RW discs
CD-R discs can be recorded once only. Once they have been used for recording, they cannot
be erased or re-recorded. However, if space is available on the disc (and the disc has not
been finalized), additional material can be recorded.
By contrast, a CD-RW disc can be used in much the same way as a CD-R disc, but the last
track or tracks recorded can be erased, and the space on the disc can be re-used for other
recordings.
However, you should note that an audio CD created using a CD-RW disc may not play back
satisfactorily on every audio CD player.
CD-R, by contrast, may be played satisfactorily on the majority of audio CD players.
