one way, try reversing it. If the plug still doesn’t fit,
contact an electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do
not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the plug.
3. Power cord protection—Route the AC power supply
cord so that it will not be walked on or pinched by items
placed on or against it. Never take hold of the plug or
cord with wet hands. Always grasp the plug body firmly
when connecting and disconnecting it.
4. Overloading—When connecting the AC power supply
cord, be careful not to overload the household AC outlet,
extension cord, or outlet from any other device as this
can result in fire or electric shock.
5. Nonuse periods—Turn the unit off when it is not in
use. Unplug the unit from the household AC outlet if it is
not to be used for a long time. Unplug the unit during
lightning storms.
6. Attachments and accessories—Use only the attachments
and accessories recommended in these operating

Installation
Placement
1. Ventilation—Situate the unit so that it receives proper
ventilation. Do not install in a confined space such as a
bookcase or cabinet. Allow at least 10 cm (4 inches)
clearance from the rear of the unit. To prevent the risk
of electric shock or fire due to overheating ensure
curtains and other materials do not obstruct the unit’s
ventilation.
2. Foreign material—Ensure objects and liquids do not
get into the unit. Avoid exposing the unit to excessive
smoke, dust, mechanical vibration, and shock.
3. Magnetism—Situate the unit away from equipment and

Sudden stops, excessive force, and
uneven surfaces can cause carts to
overturn.
7. Wall and ceiling mounting—Do not mount the unit on
walls or ceilings unless specified in the instructions.
Environment
1. Water and moisture—Do not use the unit near water,
such as near a bathtub or swimming pool. Avoid damp

by qualified service personnel if:
(a) The AC power supply cord or the plug has been
damaged; or
(b) Objects or liquids have gotten into the unit; or
(c) The unit has been exposed to rain; or
(d) The unit does not operate normally or exhibits a
marked change in performance; or
(e) The unit has been dropped or the cabinet damaged.
2. Servicing—Do not attempt to service the unit beyond
that described in these operating instructions. Refer all
other servicing to authorized servicing personnel.
3. Replacement parts—When parts need replacing ensure
the servicer uses parts specified by the manufacturer or
parts that have the same characteristics as the original

Dear customer
Use of Batteries
Listening caution
EST. 1924
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.
• If this unit is not used for a long period of time or is
used only from an AC power source, remove all the
batteries to prevent potential damage due to
possible battery leakage.
• 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.
• 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.
Mishandling of batteries can damage other items, cause
damage to the unit, and may cause a fire through shortcircuiting or electrolyte leakage.
If electrolyte leaks from the batteries, consult your dealer.
Wash thoroughly with water if electrolyte comes in contact
with any part of your body.
Before use
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.
