SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

The lightning flash inside a triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of "dangerous voltage" within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute risk of electric shock.
The exclamation point inside a triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance instructions.
Read this manual carefully and keep it for future reference.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this product to rain or
moisture. Do not expose the product to dripping or splashing liquids. Do not place objects filled with liquids, such as vases, on top of the product.
CAUTION: To prevent electric shock, make sure the AC adapter is fully inserted into an AC
outlet, extension cord, or surge protector. Match the wider of the two vertical prongs on the adapter with the wider slot in the outlet.
CAUTION: The product uses a laser. To prevent direct exposure to invisible laser radiation, do
not open the cabinet. Do not stare into the laser beams. Use of any controls, adjustments, or procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
WARNING: Any change or modification to the product, not expressly approved by INSIGNIA or
its authorized parties, could void the user’s authority to operate the product.
NOTE: If the product requires servicing, contact Best Buy or Insignia customer service. Visit our
website at
www.insignia-products.com for more information.

Power Sources

This product operates using the supplied AC adapter, car adapter and rechargeable batteries.
Make sure that the input voltage printed on the AC adapter is the local voltage. In the
United States, it should 120 volts.
To avoid electrical shock, do not touch the AC adapter with wet hands.
When connecting with car adapter (cigarette lighter), be sure the input voltage of the
adapter is identical to the car voltage (12 volts DC).
If the product will not be used for a long time, unplug the AC adapter and remove the
rechargeable batteries
To unplug the AC adapter, hold and pull on the adapter, not the cord.

Where to place the player

Avoid placing the product in the following places:
In direct sunlight or near a source of heat such as a radiator or heat vent.
In a closed automobile, on a dashboard or a parcel shelf. Excess heat may deform the
product, causing it to malfunction.
Where it is very dusty or sandy.
Wet or humid places, such as bathroom.
Near sources of strong magnetism, such as a television, speaker or magnet.
Where there is movement or vibration, such as on a car dashboard or an unstable shelf.
Where the temperature is extremely hot or cold.
Where the product is exposed to rain or water.
For Safety
Do not attempt to service the product yourself. All servicing should only be done by
qualified service personnel.
If liquid or objects get inside the product, unplug the AC adapter immediately to cut the
power and contact Insignia customer service.
Do not drop or shake the product, or expose it to strong shocks. Strong vibrations will
damage the product.
Note: When product is in use for a long period of time, the surface of the product will become
heated. This heat is expected and should not affect performance.
Lens and Pickup Maintenance
If the product is exposed to a rapid change in temperature or humidity, for example if it’s
suddenly moved from a cold place to a warm one, or from a dry to a humid place, moisture will condense on the pickup lens and the product will perform poorly or malfunction. If this happens, evaporate the moisture by removing the disc and leaving the product on for about one hour in a well-ventilated area.
Keep the pickup lens free from dust. Keep the disc tray closed when the product is not in
use. If dust collects on the pickup lens, use a cleaning disc to clean the lens. Always refer to the cleaning disc operation instructions.
When Using Headphones
To avoid hearing damage caused by sudden loud audio peaks, keep the headphone
volume set at the lowest level before playing a disc. Once the disc is playing, adjust the headphone volume. Keep the headphone volume at the lowest acceptable level to protect your ears.
To avoid accidents, never wear headphones when driving a car or boat, or riding a
bicycle.

(1) Read these safety and operating instructions before operating the product. (2) Keep these safety and operating instructions in a safe place for future reference. (3) Strictly follow and adhere to all product warnings and instructions. (4) Unplug this product from the AC outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol
cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning. (5) Do not use attachments that are not recommended by Insignia. They may cause hazards. (6) Do not use this product near water, for example, near a swimming pool, bathtub, washbowl,
kitchen sink, laundry tub, or in a wet basement. (7) Place the unit on a study surface, such as a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table
recommended by the manufacturer or sold with the product. Placing this product on an
unstable surface could allow the product to fall, and cause serious personal injury to a child
or adult, and could also seriously damage the product. (8) If you are mounting the product, use a mounting accessory recommended by the
manufacturer and follow the manufacturer’s instructions. (9) If the product is used on a movable cart, be careful moving it. Quick stops, excessive force
and uneven surfaces may overturn the cart and damage the product. (10) This product must only be operated using the AC power source indicated on the adapter. If
you are not sure of the type of AC power supply to your home, consult Best Buy or your
local power company. (11) This product may be equipped with a polarized AC line plug (a plug having one blade wider
than the other). As a safety feature, this plug will only fit into the power outlet one way. If
you are unable to fully insert the plug into the outlet, try reversing it. If the plug still doesn’t
fit, contact an electrician and replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose
of the polarized plug. (12) Power supply cords should be positioned to prevent them from being walked on or pinched
by items placed on or against them, especially where they are connected to the product. (13) Protect the product from lightning and/or power line surges, or when it won’t be used for a
long time by unplugging it from the AC outlet. Also, disconnect the product from an
antenna or cable system. (14) An outside antenna system should not be located where the antenna could fall onto
overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits. When installing an outside
antenna system, extreme care should be taken avoid touching power lines or circuits, as
contact with these high-voltage wires could be fatal. (15) Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or surge protectors to prevent the risk of fire
or electric shock. (16) Never push objects of any kind into this product. Inserting an object could result in a fire or
electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the product. (17) Unplug this product from the AC outlet and have the product serviced by qualified service
personnel under the following conditions:
a. When the AC adapter or plug is damaged. b. If liquid has spilled, or objects have fallen into the product. c. If the product has been exposed to rain or water. d. If the product does not operate normally by following the operating instructions.
Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions. Improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive
repair by a qualified technician. e. If the product has been dropped or damaged in any way. f. When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance.
(18) When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician uses replacement
parts that are specified by the manufacturer, or have identical characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock or other hazards.
