Use of batteries

Align the poles (+ and –) properly when inserting the batteries.

Do not mix old and new batteries or different types of batteries.

Do not recharge ordinary dry cell batteries.

Do not heat or disassemble the batteries. Do not allow them to contact flame or water.

If the unit is not going to be used for a long time or if the unit is to be powered exclusively by AC power, remove the batteries and store them in a cool, dark place.

Do not keep together with metallic objects such as necklaces.

Do not use rechargeable type batteries.

Do not use batteries if the covering has been peeled off.

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.

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:

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.

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 APPLIES ONLY IN THE U.S.A. AND CANADA

Power failures,

The AC power supply cord is disconnected from the power outlet,
