Before You Start
Please take note of the following before you start.
Do not block the ventilation openings or holes.
Avoid installing the unit in locations described be- low:
Places exposed to direct sunlight or close to heat radiating appliances (such as electric heaters, or on top of other stereo equipment that radiate heat).
Places lacking ventilation or dusty places.
Places subject to constant vibration.
Places that are humid or moist.
Operate turning controls and switches as instruct- ed in manual.
Before turning on the power for the rst time, make sure that the power cord is properly installed.
Store your tapes or CD in a cool area to avoid dam- age from heat.
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO DOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK). NO USER SER­VICEABLE PARTS INSIDE, REFER SERVICING TO QUALI­FIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.
WARNING: Remove batteries if exhausted or if they will not be used again for a long period. The incorrect use of batteries can cause electrolyte leakage and will cor­rode the compartment or cause the batteries to burst, therefore:
Do not mix battery types, e.g. alkaline with zinc carbonate.
When inserting new batteries, replace all batteries at the same time.

The lightning ash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral
triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulat­ed “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may
be of signicant magnitude to constitute risk of electric shock.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operation and ser­vicing instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.
On Protection Against Laser Energy Exposure
As the laser beam used in this product is harmful to the eyes, do not attempt to disassemble the casing.
Stop operation immediately if any liquid or solid object should fall into the cabinet.
Do not put anything in the safety slot. If you do, the laser diode will be ON when the disc compartment door is still open.
If the unit is not to be used for a long period of time, make sure that all power sources are disconnected from the unit. Remove all batter­ies from the battery compartment, and unplug the AC-DC adapter from the wall outlet. Make it a practice to remove the AC-DC adapter by grasping the main body and not by pulling the cord.
This unit employs a laser. The use of controls or adjustment or per- formance of procedures other than those specied here may result in
exposure to hazardous radiation.
CAUTION
Do not block the ventilation openings or holes.
• Do not place any naked ames (such as lighted candles) on the ap-
paratus.
When discarding batteries, follow all local rules and laws governing the disposal of batteries. Consider the environmental impact of your actions!
Invisible laser radiation when open and interlock has failed or been defeated. Avoid direct exposure to beam.

the product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This product should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer in­structions have been adhered to.
10. Power Sources: This product should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the rating label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your product dealer or local power company. For products intended to operate from battery power or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.
11. Grounding or Polarization: This product may be equipped with a po­larized alternating-current line plug that has one blade wider than
the other. This plug will only t into the power outlet in one direction.
This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the direction of the plug. If the plug should
still fail to t, contact an electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do
not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
12. Power-Cord Protection: Power supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, conve­nience receptacles, and at the point which they exit from the product.
13. Protective Attachment Plug: The product may be equipped with an at­tachment plug with overload protection. This is a safety feature. See the operating instructions for replacement or directions to reset the protective device. If replacement of the plug is required, be sure the service technician has used a replacement plug that has the same over-
load protection as the original plug as specied by the manufacturer.
14. Outdoor Antenna Grounding: If an outside antenna is connected to the product, be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges.

www.naxa.com Page 19
ing structure,grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna-discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the
grounding electrode (see gure).
15. Lightning: For added protection for this product, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system during a lightning storm or when it is left unattended and unused for long pe­riods of time. This will prevent damage to the product due to lightning or power-line surges.
16. Power Lines: An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power cir­cuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When in­stalling an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits, as contact with them might be fatal.
17. Overloading: Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or inte­gral convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of re or elec­tric shock.
18. Object and Liquid Entry: Never push objects of any kind into this prod­uct through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or
shout-out parts that could result in a re or electric shock. Never spill
liquid of any kind on the product.
19. Servicing: Do not attempt to service this product yourself as open­ing or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other
hazards. Refer all servicing to qualied service personnel.
20. Damage Requiring Service: Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualied service personnel under the follow­ing conditions: a) when the power-supply or plug is damaged; b) if liquid has been spilled or if 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 as improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will
often require extensive work by a qualied technician to restore the
product to its normal operation; e) if the product has been dropped or damaged in any way; f) when the product exhibits a distinct change in performance—this indicates a need for service.
21. Replacement Parts: When replacement parts are required, be sure
that your service technician has used replacement parts specied
by the manufacturer or have the same characteristics as the original
part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in re, electric shock, or
other hazards.
22. Safety Check: Upon completion of any service or repairs to this product,ask the service technician to perform safety checks to ensure that the product is in proper operating condition.
Page 20 Naxa Electronics
23. Wall or Ceiling Mounting: The product should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.
