LASER PRODUCT

Listening caution
Selecting fine 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.
(Inside of product)
CAUTION!
THIS PRODUCT UTILIZES A LASER.
USE OF CONTROLS OR ADJUSTMENTS OR
PERFORMANCE OF PROCEDURES OTHER
THAN THOSE SPECIFIED HEREIN MAY
RESULT IN HAZARDOUS RADIATION
EXPOSURE.
DO NOT OPEN COVERS AND DO NOT REPAIR
YOURSELF. REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED
PERSONNEL.
WARNING:
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC
SHOCK OR PRODUCT DAMAGE, DO NOT
EXPOSE THIS APPARATUS TO RAIN,
MOISTURE, DRIPPING OR SPLASHING AND
THAT NO OBJECTS FILLED WITH LIQUIDS,
SUCH AS VASES, SHALL BE PLACED ON THE
APPARATUS.
We recommend you to 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:
ﾁStart your volume control at a low setting.
ﾁSlowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and
clearly, and without distortion.
Once you have established a comfortable sound level:
ﾁSet the dial and 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.
The following mark and symbols are located on bottom of the unit.

•SD Audio
An audio standard for SD Memory Cards. An encryption technology is
used in order to protect copyrights and the legal rights of the consumer as well as help develop a healthy music culture. There are
restrictions upon the copying of data etc. Use an application like SDJukebox etc. for creating data.
•Cue
Used to begin play. On this unit the cue point is used to store the
beginning of a track or an arbitrary point of a track to memory and
then to instantly begin play from this point.
•Platter slip surface
The rotatable surface on an analog turntable which you place a record.
Although this unit is a digital turntable, play functionality is the same
as when operating a platter slip surface on an analog turntable.
•MP3 album
When creating multiple MP3 files on a computer and writing to a CDROM, you can organize the files using folders. These folders are called
albums on this unit. When you want to play tracks in sequential order
on this unit, use numbers like 001 and 002 etc. for naming the albums. ( Page 22)
Page 25
•AAC
A compression standard that makes recording and play of high quality audio possible including MPEG2 (an international standard). Used
in SD Audio and broadcast satellite digital signals.
•MP3
MP3 is the abbreviated form of the international standard MPEG1/
Audio Layer3. MP3 allows you to achieve approximately ten to one
compression rates with bit rates of 128 kbps. MP3 is used widely with
SD Audio, CDs, and computers.
•Sampling frequency
The number of samples taken approximately each second when an
audio signal is digitally converted and stored in memory. The higher
the value the wider the frequency range can be used for digital conversion thus providing near original audio quality reproduction, however the resulting size of the audio data does become quite large.
•Bit rate
A value that indicates the audio signal compression rate. Indicates
the number of bits sampled approximately each second, the larger
the bit value the more information is contained resulting in better audio quality, however the size of the audio data does become quite
large.
Concerning CDs
With this system, you can only play CDs having this
mark.
•Do not use irregularly shaped CDs. (May
result in damage to your equipment.)
•Use discs that display the logo mark indi-
cated above, or conform to the Compact
disc digital audio standard. The disc may
not play properly if you are using a nonstandard conforming disc.
•For CDs with greater than 80 minutes total play time, the portion
beyond 80 minutes cannot be played on this unit.
•Depending on the CD, there may be apparent noise or the total
number of tracks may not be read properly. In either case, try reinserting the CD.
•Recorded music CDs that are partially or fully translucent may not
be usable with this unit.
•Do not use CDs that are dirty.
Note about using a DualDisc
•The digital audio content side of a DualDisc does not meet the
technical specifications of the Compact Disc Digital Audio (CDDA) format so play may not be possible.
•Do not use a DualDisc in this unit as it may get scratched or scraped.
Handling SD Memory Cards
When handling SD Memory Cards
Avoid the following:
•Altering or disassembling the SD Memory Card
•Striking, bending, dropping, or getting water on the SD Memory
Card
•Touching the metal connectors with your fingers or with metal objects

Protecting important data
•Set the write protect switch to the
LOCK position. Release the lock when
storing new data.
•If there is a space for writing a note on
the SD Memory Card, use a felt pen
(oil based) for writing. Do not use a pencil or ball point pen. Loss of
data may result if the SD Memory Card is damaged.
•Do not remove the AC power supply cord while the unit power is
on (When the units display is on) or loss of data may result.
•Do not remove the SD Memory Card from the unit during play.
Loss of data may result.

Operation
Reference
•Sometimes the BPM value and the CD memory value differ. This is because the method for measuring the BPM value is different, and
it is not due to a defective or malfunctioning unit.
Left and right audio is reversed.
A “Humming” sound is
heard during play.
No sound comes out of
one speaker.
Sound is distorted and or
noise is being emitted.
There is interference to
TV or FM reception.
“NO CD AUDIO TRACK”
appears on the display
when a CD is inserted.
The unit does not play
when the Play button is
pushed.
There is noise or certain
points on the disc cannot
be played properly.
CD does not eject after
pressing the CD EJECT
button.
“NO SD AUDIO TRACK”
appears on the display
when a SD Memory Card
is inserted.
The platter does not rotate.
Back cue does not work
when the CUE button is
pressed during play.
Loop play does not work
when the LOOP OUT button is pressed.
The last panel data set on
this unit is replaced when
you insert the corresponding media.
Are the left and right stereo cables reversed?
Are connection cables too close to the AC
power supply cord or a fluorescent light?
Is the stereo connection cable not connected?
Are the output cables properly connected?
Is the unit is causing the TV or FM interference?
Is the CD is inserted upside down?
Are you using a non-standard CD?
Is the CD dirty?

a cold to a warm or hot location, resulting
in an abrupt change in temperature?
Is the CD dirty?
When in the TURNTABLE mode you cannot eject the disc during play.
Is the music file you inserted not SD audio?
Are you using the FREE WHEEL mode?
Is the CD PLAYER mode selected?
Is the cue point set?
Is the loop in point (start point) set?
Have you inserted a SD Memory Card
that already has the panel data for the
corresponding media? In this case the SD
Memory Card takes precedence and the
panel data stored to the unit’s memory is
replaced with the setting on the SD
Memory Card.
Cause
Connect the stereo cables properly, left to
left, right to right.
Move the unit away from the other electrical
equipment.
