Listening caution

EST. 1924

Selecting fi ne audio equipment such as the unit you’ve just
purchased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now
it’s time to consider how you can maximize the fun and
excitement your equipment offers. This manufacturer and the
Electronic Industries Association’s
Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most out of
your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the
sound come through loud and clear without annoying blaring
or distortion-and, most importantly, without affecting your
sensitive hearing.

We recommend that you avoid prolonged exposure to
excessive noise.

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:

Leave it there.

•

Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing
damage or loss in the future. After all, we want you listening
for a lifetime.

Specifi cations are subject to change without notice.

•

Some characters are not displayed on this unit due to the
restrictions of font data.
Since the internal memory includes area that contains management

•

information such as fi le system, the actual capacity that can be
used is less. Also, the memory capacity in general is calculated as
1 GB =1,000,000,000 bytes, however, on this unit, it is calculated as
1 GB = 1,024 × 1,024 × 1,024= 1,073,741,824 bytes. Therefore, the
displayed capacity is less than the general value.

Auto power save: This unit is equipped with the Auto power save
function that automatically reduces the power consumption when
operations such as audio playback, media insertion/removal, etc.
are not performed approx. 10 minutes.

The LCD display on the display part is made with high-precision
technology employed, but black dots may sometimes appear on the
LCD display or the display may always light (with red, blue and green
dots). This is not a malfunction. The pixels on the LCD display are
managed with more than 99.99% of high accuracy, however, the pixel
defi ciency may occur within 0.01% of probability. We assure you that
these dots are not recorded on the SD card or internal memory.

Maintenance

Unplug the AC power supply cord from the household AC outlet
and wipe it using a soft and dry cloth.

•

When the dirt is heavy, wring water out of a wet cloth to wipe the
dirt and then wipe with a dry cloth.

•

Do not use solvents including benzine, thinner, alcohol, kitchen
detergent, etc. This might cause the exterior case to be deformed
or the coating to come off.

•

Before using chemically treated cloth, read the instructions that
come with the cloth carefully.
