Concerning Compact Discs

Using the unit with a car audio system

XL-PV390SL comes with the car adaptor and car audio cassette adaptor.

• Car adaptor (CA-R456J or CA-R457J)

• Car audio cassette adaptor (CA-RC6)

To connect to a car audio system:

Connect the car audio cassette adaptor to the unit’s headphones jack. (When doing this, keep the unit’s VOLUME control at a medium setting.)

Depending on the automobile used, noise may occur, and in that case, it is recommended that a KS-U32 noise filter (optional) be used.

Maintaining the unit

Wipe the unit with a soft cloth. Remove stubborn dirt using a cloth which has been dipped in water or soapy water and wrung out, and then wipe dry.

• If you intend to use a chemically treated cleaning cloth, read its directions first.

• Do not use alcohol or paint thinners.

Maintaining the lens

Open the lid and clean the lens as shown in the figure. Use a cotton swab to gently wipe off any finger-prints. Recommended product: Lens cleaner kit

Note:

It may not be possible to use the unit with some types of car stereo owing to restrictions imposed by the construction of the car audio cassette adaptor.

For further details, refer to the instructions of the part concerned.

Accidental Operation Prevention Function (Hold Mode)

HOLD

OFF ON

This function causes the unit to ignore short, accidental button presses.

The accidental operation prevention function prevents the following:

• Powering on the unit accidentally (which can cause the batteries to go dead).

• Play being cut off unexpectedly in the middle of a track.

To use the accidental operation prevention function

• To prevent the unit from powering up accidentally, set the HOLD switch to the ON position.

• To prevent the unit from unexpected operation during play, set the HOLD switch to the ON position after you starts playing the disc.

“ ”

When the unit is in the hold mode according to the HOLD switch setting in the main unit, “ ” lights up if the 6 is pressed.

To release the function

Move the HOLD switch back to OFF position.

Note:

If the HOLD switch on the unit is set to the ON position, you cannot turn on the unit.

Cautions

Listening precautions

•

EST. 1924

Do not play your headphones or earphones at a high volume. Hearing experts advise against continuous extended play.

If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce volume or discontinue use.

Do not use while operating a motorized vehicle. It may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in many areas.

You should use extreme caution or temporarily discontinue use in potentially hazardous situations.

Even if your headphones or earphones are an open-air type designed to let you hear outside sounds, don’t turn up the volume so high that you can’t hear what’s around you.

Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts. To establish a safe level:

• Start your volume control at a low setting.

• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.

Once you have established a comfortable sound level:

• Set the dial and leave it there.

Rechargeable batteries

• Only the BN-R1211J battery can be recharged.

• If the power delivered by the batteries lasts for a very short time after recharging, it means that the batteries’ service life is over. Do not use them any more.

• Recharging already charged batteries will shorten their service life.

• When recharging batteries for the first time or when they have not been used for a long period of time, the play time may be shorter than usual. In a case like this, repeatedly recharge and discharge the batteries. This will restore them to their regular state.

• Do not allow any metal objects to touch the terminals of rechargeable batteries since this may cause short-circuiting which is dangerous.

• Do not peel off the plastic covering on the rechargeable batteries. Short-circuiting may occur which is dangerous.

Dry cell batteries / rechargeable batteries

To prevent damage to the batteries and electrolyte leakage, heed the following points.

• Align the , and . polarities properly when inserting the batteries.

• Do not mix different types or makers of batteries or old and new batteries.

• Remove the batteries if you do not plan to use the unit for a long period of time.

• Do not throw batteries into a fire, and do not short-circuit, disassemble or subject them to excessive heat.

• Do not attempt to recharge dry cell batteries.

Carrying dry cell batteries / rechargeable batteries around

When putting dry cell or rechargeable batteries in a pocket or bag, ensure that no other metal objects such as a necklace are placed together with them. Contact with metal may cause shortcircuiting which, in turn, may cause a fire.

Before requesting service for this unit, check the chart below for a possible cause of the problem you are experiencing. Some simple checks or a minor adjustment on your part may eliminate the problem and restore proper operation. If you are in doubt about some of the check points, or if the remedies indicated in the chart do not solve the problem, refer to the directory of Authorized Service Centers (enclosed with this unit) to locate a convenient service center, or consult your dealer for instructions.

Recharging procedure

1 Insert the special rechargeable batteries

into the unit.

Caution:

Do not open the battery lid too wide. It can break if you forcibly open it beyond approximately 90°.

Notes:

• To operate the unit on batteries, the AC adaptor must be disconnected from the DC IN jack.

• It takes approximately 10 hours to recharge the rechargeable batteries.

• Rechargeable batteries have a service life of approximately 300 charge-discharge cycles. If the operating time on one full charge becomes noticeably shorter than it used to be, the batteries have reached the end of their service life and should be replaced.

• Recharging takes place only when the unit is powered off. (It is not possible to recharge the batteries while playing a CD.)

• The AC adaptor and rechargeable batteries may become warm while recharging is in progress. This is normal and is not a mal-

function.

If the battery lid compartment comes loose

Slide the lid back into place horizontally.

Removing batteries

Push up on the battery in the direction indicated by the arrow. Then lift it out.

Press the A.S.P. button in stop mode or during playback. The “ANTI SHOCK” indicator goes out on the display.

To activate the Anti-Shock Protection EX again

Press the A.S.P. button again.

Notes:

• During Anti-Shock Protection EX operation, the disc rotates at a higher rate than usual in order to collect extra audio data. This may cause the batteries to run out faster and could result in a slight increase in disc rotation noise.

• The Anti-Shock Protection EX function can be switched ON and OFF during playback. However, this may cause a slight interruption in the sound because the disc’s rotational speed changes.
