PRECAUTIONS
On Safety
As the laser beam used in the CD
player section may be harmful to the
eyes, do not attempt to disassemble
the cabinet. Refer servicing to
qualified personnel only.
Should any solid object or liquid fall
into the player, unplug the player, and
have it checked by qualified personnel
before operating it any further.
California Proposition 65 Warning:
This product contains chemicals
known to the state of California to
cause cancer, and birth defects or
other reproductive harm.
Wash Hands After Handling.
On Placement
Do not leave the player in a location
near a heat source, or in a place
subject to direct sunlight, excessive
dust or mechanical shock.
Do not place the player on an
inclined or unstable place.
Do not place anything within 1 inch of
the back of the cabinet. The ventilation
holes must not be covered for the
player to operate properly and prolong
the life of its components.
If the player is left in a car parked in
the sun, be sure to choose a location
in the car where the player will not be
subjected to the direct rays of the
sun.
Since a strong magnet is used for the
speakers, keep personal credit cards
using magnetic coding or springwound
watches away from the player to
prevent possible damage from the
magnets.
On Power Sources
For battery operation, use 8 size C
batteries. We recommend alkaline
batteries for longer life.
When the batteries will not be used
for a few weeks or more, remove
them to avoid damage that can be
caused by battery leakage or
corrosion.
On Operation
If the player is brought directly from a
cold to a warm location, or is placed
in a very damp room, moisture may
condense on the lens inside the CD
player section. Should this occur, the
player will not operate properly. In
this case, remove the CD and wait
about an hour for the moisture to
evaporate. If the player has not been
used for a long time, set it in playback
mode to warm it up for a few minutes
before inserting a cassette.
This CD player is designed to be
played on a stable no vibration
position. If you bump the set during
CD play, the music will stop or skip for
a few seconds. This is normal for this
type of player.

IB-CD203(AD)-WM-E-012503
PRECAUTIONS (continued)
Notes on CDs
Before playing, clean the CD with a
cleaning cloth. Wipe the CD from the
center out.
Do not use solvents such as benzene,
thinner, commercially available
cleaners or anti-static spray intended
for vinyl LPs.
Do not expose the CD to direct
sunlight or heat sources such as hot
air ducts, nor leave it in a car parked
in direct sunlight as there can be a
considerable rise in temperature
inside the car.
Do not stick paper or stickers on the
CD, nor scratch the CD.
After playing, store the CD in its case.
If there is a scratch, dirt or fingerprints
on the CD, it may cause a tracking
error or skipping.
Notes on Cassettes
Break off the cassette tab from side A
or B to prevent accidental recording.
Side A
Tab for side B
To record on a tape with its tab broken
off, cover the respective tab hole for
side A or B with adhesive tape.
Use of a cassette with more than
90 minutes, such as C-120 (120
minutes), is not recommended.
The extreme thinness of this tape
may damage this set.
To reduce the chances of tape
jamming or tangling, you should check
that there are no loose layers of tape
visible through the cassette center
window. If any, tighten these loose
layers of tape using a pencil before
inserting the cassette into the set.
Tab for side A

MAINTENANCE
Cleaning the Lens
If the lens becomes dirty, it may cause
a skipping of sound during CD
operation. Clean with a commercially
available lens cleaner and blower.
Cleaning the Tape Head
Wipe the tape head, the pinch roller
and the capstan with a cleaning swab
slightly moistened with cleaning fluid
or alcohol after every 10 hours of
operation for optimum playback and
recording quality. After cleaning,
insert a tape when the areas cleaned
are completely dry.

Notes for Storing
Cassette Tape
1. Do not put a tape near a magnetic
field, such as a TV, or speaker.
Magnetic fields may reduce the tape
sensitivity or even erase the
recording.
2. Do not store tape for any length of
time in a hot, moist or dusty place.
Cleaning the Cabinet
Clean the cabinet, panel and controls
with a soft cloth slightly moistened
with a mild detergent solution. Do not
use any type of abrasive pad,
scouring powder, or solvent, such as
alcohol or benzene.
