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 into 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 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 will 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 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. Otherwise, the dirty handle can leave a residue on the recode surface that
will gradually deteriorate the quality of your record.
? Using a soft anti-static cloth to gently wipe the record surface when the record has
become dirty.
? Keep records in their shield when not in use.
? Store records upright on their edges. The level store would make it become curved.
? Avoid placing it in direct sunlight or close to a source of heat such as radiators, stoves.
Also avoid location subject to vibration and excessive dust, heat, cold or moisture.
How to Replace the Stylus
The 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. The highest speed of 78 RPM records would wear
out the stylus more quickly.
Caution:
? Do not remove or bend the stylus.
? Do not touch the needle, which should injure your hand.
? Turn off the unit's power before you replace the stylus.
? Keep out of the reach of children.
? Avoid direct sunlight or close to a source of heat.
Removing old stylus
1. Set a screwdriver at the tip of the stylus and push
down to the direction “A”.
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 in the direction “B”.
2. Push up the direction “C” until it locks at the tip.

Discs
Please use CD, CD-R and CD-RW discs bearing the “DIGITAL AUDIO” mark.
In this manual, although we refer to “CD-R” and “CD-RW” disc, we always mean “CD-R
Digital Audio” and “CD-RW Digital Audio”, even when this is not explicitly stated.
? “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/CD-
RW disc may not be playable.
? Always place the disc on the disc tray with the label side uppermost(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.
? The disc become dirty, wipe the surface from the center
Hole outward towards the outer edge with a soft, dry cloth.
? Never use such chemicals as record spray, antistatic sprays or fluid, 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 pick up “skip”.
? Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or high humidity and temperature for extend
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
ball-point 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 manufacture directly.
