INVISIBLE LASER RADIATION
WHEN OPEN AND INTERLOCKS
AVOID EXPOSURE TO BEAM
CAUTION
DEFEATED.
This product contains a low power Laser Dev ice.
• Avoid installing this unit in places exposed to direct sunlight or close to heat radiating appliances such as electric heaters, on top of other stereo equipment that radiates too much heat, places lacking ventilation or dusty areas, places subject to constant vibration and/or humid or moist areas.
• Operate controls and switches as described in the manual.
• Before turning on the power, make certain that the power cord is properly installed.
• When moving the set, be sure to first disconnect the power cord and remove cords connected to other equipment.
IMPORTANT Since CD circuitry may cause interference to other radio or television tuners nearby, switch this unit off when not in use or move it away from the affected radio tuner.
NOTE: This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class B limits for radio noise emissions from digital apparatus as set out in the Radio Interference Regulations of Industry Canada. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television operation (which can be determined by turning the equipment off), the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
· Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
· Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
· Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to
which the receiver is connected.
· Consult the dealer or an experienced radio / TV technician for help.

Installing The Remote Control Batteries
MS3108_062806.p65 28/6/2006, 16:547
The remote control requires two “AAA” batteries, not included. We recommend
that you use a well known brand of alkaline batteries for longest life and best
performance.
Open the remote control battery compartment by sliding the battery compartment
cover in the direction of the ‘arrow’.
Install two “AAA” batteries in the compartment according to the polarity markings
inside the compartment as shown in the illustration. If the batteries are installed
incorrectly the remote control will not work. After installing the batteries replace the
battery compartment cover.
NOTE: When the operation of the remote control becomes intermittent or stops
working completely replace the batteries as soon as possible. Never leave
weak or exhausted batteries in the remote for an extended period of time.
They may eventually leak and cause permanent damage to the remote control.
Battery Precautions
• Replacement of batteries must be done by an adult.
• Do not mix old and new batteries.
• Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc) or rechargeable (nickel-cadmium) batteries.
• The supply terminals are not to be short-circuited.
• Non-rechargeable batteries are not to be recharged.
• Exhausted batteries are to be removed.
• Only batteries of the equivalent type are to be used.
• Batteries are to be inserted with the correct polarity.
• Dispose of batteries properly. Do not dispose of batteries in fire. The batteries may explode or leak.

LINE OUT L/R Output Jacks
This system includes L/R LINE OUT output jacks for the connection to your
recording equipment (eg. MiniDisc or Cassette Recorder).
Connect the L/R LINE OUT jacks of this system to the L/R Record Input (REC IN)
or Line Input (LINE IN) jacks of your external recording device.
CONNECTION CABLES ARE NOT INCLUDED.
NOTE: the remote controller of this system cannot control the external
equipment. You must adjust the volume level of the external equipment as
desired.
REC IN or LINE IN
Always refer to the Instructions Manual of the external equipment.

AC Outlet
Power Source
This system is designed to operate on 120V AC 60Hz house current only.
Connecting this system to any other power source may cause damage to the
system and such damage is not covered by your warranty.
NOTE: The system has polarized AC plug with one wide blade and one narrow
blade. The plug will only fit into matching polarized AC outlets.
This is a safety feature to reduce the
possibility of electric shock. If the plug
will not fit in your AC outlets, you probably
have outdated non-polarized outlet. You
sho uld h ave you r outd ate d out let
changed by a qu a lif i ed, lic ens e d
electrician. Do not file the wide blade on
the plug, or use an adapter to make the
plug fit into your outlet. This defeats the
safety feature and could expose you to
electric shock.
Placement Of The System
The system should be placed on a stable, level surface such as a table, shelf, or
stand, convenient to a 120V 60Hz AC outlet, out of direct sunlight, and away from
sources of excess heat, dust, moisture, or vibration.
Although the main unit is 9.75” high with the CD door closed, 12” of clearance is
required for the CD door to open fully. If you are using this unit on a bookshelf
make sure there is a gap of at least 12” between the shelves. If the CD door
encounters an obstruction while opening it will close again automatically.

Playing Compact Discs
IMPORTANT: This CD player can play normal CDs plus CD-R (CD Recordable)
and CD-RW (CD ReWritable) discs. However the playability of CD-R/RW discs
may be affected by the type of software that was used in ‘ripping’ the tracks
from the original discs and ‘burning’ the tracks onto the blank media. Playability
may also be affected by the quality and condition of the blank media you use
for recording. 100% compatibility cannot be guaranteed. Th is is not an
indication of any problems with your player.

Resetting The System Computer
This system is equipped with a special circuit designed to protect the internal
computer from permanent damage due to unexpected power surges.
If you find that the system does not respond to any commands from the front panel
controls or the remote handset, the system probably experienced a sudden power
surge that activated the protection circuit.
To reset the system after a power surge use the point of a pencil, a toothpick, a
straightened paper-clip or similar object to press the RESET button which is located
in a small opening on the top panel.
The system will return to the Standby (power ‘Off’) mode.

and returns the system to its original factory default settings. All of the preset
tuner memories, the clock and the timer settings will be erased after you press
the RESET button. It will be necessary to re-enter the stations in the tuner
preset memories, reset the clock and the timer settings.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
MS3108_062806.p65 28/6/2006, 16:5437
Compact Disc Care
• To remove 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.
• Fingerprints and dust should be carefully wiped off the disc’s recorded surface
with a soft cloth.Unlike conventional records, compact discs have no grooves
to collect dust and microscopic debris, so gently wiping with a soft cloth should
remove most particles. Wipe in a straight line from the inside to the outside of
the disc. Small dust particles and light stains will have absolutely no effect on
reproduction quality.
• Clean the disc periodically with a soft, lint-free, dry cloth. Never use detergents
or abrasive cleaners to clean the disc. If necessary, use a CD cleaning kit.
• Never write on or affix labels to the surface of compact discs.
