Getting Started

Listening caution

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
the 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.

Please check and identify the
supplied accessories.

Getting Started

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read these operating instructions carefully before using the unit. Follow the safety instructions on the
unit and the applicable safety instructions listed below. Keep these operating instructions handy for
future reference.

1) Read these instructions.

2) Keep these instructions.

3) Heed all warnings.

4) Follow all instructions.

5) Do not use this apparatus near water.

6) Clean only with dry cloth.

7) Do not block any ventilation openings. Install
in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions.

8) Do not install near any heat sources such as
radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other
apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce
heat.

9) Do not defeat the safety purpose of the
polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized
plug has two blades with one wider than the
other. A grounding-type plug has two blades
and a third grounding prong. The wide blade
or the third prong are provided for your safe­ty. If the provided plug does not fit into your
outlet, consult an electrician for replacement
of the obsolete outlet.

10) Protect the power cord from being walked on
or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience
receptacles, and the point where they exit
from the apparatus.

11) Only use attachments/accessories specified
by the manufacturer.

12) Use only with the cart,
stand, tripod, bracket, or
table specified by the
manufacturer, or sold with
the apparatus. When a cart
is used, use caution when moving the
cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury
from tip-over.

13) Unplug this apparatus during lightning
storms or when unused for long periods of
time.

14) Refer all servicing to qualified service per­sonnel. Servicing is required when the appa­ratus has been damaged in any way, such
as power-supply cord or plug is damaged,
liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen
into the apparatus, the apparatus has been
exposed to rain or moisture, does not
operate normally, or has been dropped.

To prevent damage

Avoid the following;

≥Spraying flammable insecticides near the unit.
≥Pressing the LCD.
≥Touching the lens and other parts of the laser pickup.

Do not use the unit in the following places;
≥Where the temperature is below 5 oC (41 oF) or above 35 oC (95 oF). (Operating the unit be-

yond this range can cause the protection circuitry to function and render the unit inoperable.)

≥Sandy places such as beaches.
≥On top of cushions, sofas, or hot equipment such as amplifiers.

Do not rest the unit on your lap for a long time while using it. The unit can become hot
and cause burns.

Note

≥Discs must conform to ISO9660 level 1 or 2

(except for extended formats). MP3 files must
have the extension “.MP3” or “.mp3”.

≥This unit is compatible with multi-session but if

there are a lot of sessions it takes more time for
play to start. Keep the number of sessions to a
minimum to avoid this.

≥This unit is not compatible with ID3 tags.
≥This unit is not compatible with files with a

sampling rate of 32 kHz.

≥If you play an MP3 track that includes still pic-

ture data, it will take some time before the
music itself starts playing and the elapsed time
will not be displayed during this time. Even after
the track starts, the correct play time will not be
displayed.

Naming folders and files

At the time of recording, prefix folder and file
names with 3-digit numbers in the order you want
to play them (this may not work at times).

Example:
