For whether each USB device is compatible with the
USB mass storage class, consult its manufacturer.

The maximum current drain should be no more than
“500 mA”.

If a USB device other than specified above is used, the
music files may be unable to be played correctly. Also,
note that even a USB device complying with the above

Care and Storage

Care and storage of main unit

Do not place in the following locations.

Place exposed to direct sunlight.

Place subjected to excessive humidity or dirt.

Place exposed to direct heat from heating equipment.

Be careful against condensation

Whe n the difference i n temperatures betw een the
main unit and the environmental air is large, dew may
be condensed inside the main u nit and may cause
malfunction of the main unit. If this happens, leave the
main unit for a few hours until its internal mechanisms
are dried up.
Take special care against condensation when the main
unit is moved between places with a large temperature
difference or into a room with high humidity.

When a main unit becomes dirty

When the front panel or case gets dirty, wipe with a soft
dry cloth. Do not use lacquer thinner, benzine, alcohol
or contact revitalizer for t hese chemicals will cause
discoloration or deformation.

Care and storage of CD

Before storing the CD

When the main unit is not to be used for a long period,
take out the CD and store in the case.

When a CD becomes dirty

When a disc is contam inated with fingerprints or
other stains, wipe gently in the radial direction using
a soft dry cloth.

Do not use an analog disk cleaner, lacquer thinner,
benzine or alcohol.

Do not use a disc accessory (stabilizer, protective
sheet, protective ring, etc.) or lens cleaner.

Other cautions

Do no t write le tter s on a CD us ing a pen cil or
ballpoint pen.

Do not use a CD if the sticker or label on it is peeled
off or bond is overflowed around the sticker or label.

Do not stick a sheet of paper, sticker or label on a CD.

Care and storage of SD card

Before storing the SD card

Always store the SD card in its case.

Avo id lo cati ons wit h a ver y hig h temp era ture
(such as a place exposed to direct sunlight) or high

When a SD card becomes dirty

Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth.

Do not use lacquer thinner, benzine or alcohol.

Other cautions

Do not attempt to open or modify a card.

Do not peel off the label from the card.

Do not attach a label or sticker on the card.

Do not touch the metallic terminals on the back side
with a hand or metallic object.

Caution for disposal/transfer of memory card

“Initia liza tion” o r “delet ion” of the card usi ng this
system or a PC simply modifies the file management
in for mat ion a nd do es no t era se th e dat a in the
memor y card completely. Before disposal or transfer
of a memory card, it is recommended to destroy the
memory c ard physi cally or to d estroy the data in it
completely by u sing commercially available PC data
destruction software.
The data in the memory card should be managed on
the user’s own responsibility.

Care and storage of USB device

Be sure to read the instruction manuals provided with
each USB device.
