IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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

Safety

1. Power source—Connect the unit to a power source of the type described in these instructions or as marked on the unit.

2. Polarization—The unit is equipped with a polarized power plug where one blade is wider than the other. This safety feature ensures that the plug ﬁts into your household AC outlet only one way. If the plug doesn’t ﬁt 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 sup- ply 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. Leaving the unit connected to a household AC outlet for extended periods can cause battery ﬂuid leakage.

6. Attachments and accessories—Use only the attachments and accessories recommended in these operating instructions.

Installation

Placement

1. Foreign material—Ensure objects and liquids do not get into the unit. Avoid exposing the unit to excessive smoke, dust, mechanical vibration, and shock.

2. Magnetism—Situate the unit away from equipment and devices that generate strong magnetic ﬁelds.

3. Stacking—Do not place anything on top of this unit.

4. 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 basements.

2. Heat—Situate the unit away from heat sources, such as radiators. Do not leave it in an automobile exposed to direct sunlight with the doors and windows closed as this may deform the cabinet.

2. Do not situate where temperatures fall below 5 oC

(41 oF) or rise above 35 oC (95 oF).

Maintenance

(See page 8 for details.) Unplug the unit from the household AC outlet before cleaning. Clean with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive pads, scouring powders, or solvents.

1. (a) The AC power supply cord or AC adaptor has

been damaged; or

1. (b) Objects or liquids have gotten into the unit; or

1. (c) The unit has been exposed to rain; or

1. (d) The unit does not operate normally or exhibits a

marked change in performance; or

1. (e) The unit has been dropped or the cabinet dam-

aged.

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 parts. Unauthorized substitutes may result in ﬁre, electric shock, or other hazards.

4. Safety check—After repairs or service, ask the servicer to perform safety checks to conﬁrm that the unit is in proper working condition.

(Skipped)

Anti-Skip System

S-XBS

This system deals with skipping in a variety of ways:

≥An anti-skip mechanism prevents skipping caused

when play speed changes due to swinging of the unit.

≥A recovery system immediately returns the laser pick-

up to its original position if it is knocked off the track by a strong shock.

≥The anti-skip memory (maximum 45 seconds when

playing CD-DA and maximum 100 seconds when playing 128 kbps MP3) ﬁlls in interruptions caused by bumps and vibrations.

The anti-skip system works automatically while the system is on and cannot be canceled.

When bumps continue repeatedly

The elapsed playing time disappears and sound is interrupted.

Note!

The anti-skip memory compresses digital signals.

Other Play Methods

The letters such as F in the various illustrations refer to the descriptions in the “Location of Controls” section (see page 2).

Playing MP3 ﬁles

What is MP3?

A method of compressing audio, MPEG Audio Layer 3 (MP3) allows audio to be reduced to up to one tenth its original size when a compression rate of 128 kbps is used, without overtly hurting audio quality.

When creating MP3 ﬁles to play on this unit

≥Disc formats: ISO9660 level 1 and level 2 (except for

≥Files: MP3 ﬁles with the suffix “.mp3” or “.MP3”

≥MP3 ﬁles may not be played in the order you recorded

them. Note the following if you want the ﬁles to play in the order you record them.

≥1 Use software that records the ﬁles to the disc in ﬁle

name order.

≥2 Preﬁx folder and ﬁle names with 3-digit numbers in

the order you want to play them.

≥3 Give the ﬁles and folders names with 8 characters

or less, including the 3-digit preﬁx.

≥4 It is better not to create folders (albums) within fold-

ers (such as shown in example 2).

extended formats)

This unit plays MP3 ﬁles in the following order.

Numbers such as 1 show the order folders (albums) and ﬁles (tracks) within them are played. Example1: Recommended method when creating MP3

discs. Example2: A disc not created in the recommended way. ≥Play will be in the order shown in the below diagram,

irrespective of folder and track names, so the order of play in this example will be A#C#G#D, not A#B#C#D. Folders and ﬁles in the same level will be played in order according to their names.

≥Folders that do not contain MP3 ﬁles ( “Falbum” in the

example) are skipped.

Example2Example1

Limitations on MP3

≥This unit cannot play ﬁles if they have a suffix other

than “.mp3” or “.MP3”.

≥This unit cannot play ﬁles that have the suffix “.mp3”

or “.MP3” if they are not MP3 ﬁles.

≥This unit is not compatible with ID3 tags. ≥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 cannot play ﬁles recorded using packet write. .

Frequently asked questions

Q. Can I play a disc if it has both audio data and

MP3 data?

Yes, but only the data type used for the ﬁrst track is played.

Q. Is there a limit on the number of albums and tracks?

This unit can play a maximum of 999 albums and 999 tracks. The unit cannot play albums or tracks beyond these limits.

Q. Why is sound interrupted between tracks?

The pick-up lens has to move to ﬁnd the next track so a few seconds of silence is normal.

Q. Can I use 700-MB data?

Yes, you can.

Cautions

Listening caution

EST. 1924

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 com-

fortably and clearly, and without distortion.

Once you have established a comfortable sound level:

≥Leave it there.

Discontinue use if you experience discomfort with the headphones, earphones or any other parts that directly contact your skin. Continued use may cause rashes or other allergic reactions.

Selection and care of rechargeable/dry cell batteries

∫ Selection

As a safety precaution, the portable CD players made by Panasonic are constructed so it is impossible to recharge ordinary batteries. Only batteries especially designed for this unit can be recharged.

Special rechargeable Ni-Cd batteries:

P-3GAVA/2B (set of 2)

For details, check with your dealer.

Special rechargeable batteries

Ordinary dry cell batteries/rechargeable batteries

≥Remove the batteries if you do not intend to use the

unit for a long time.

≥Do not throw into ﬁre, short-circuit, disassemble, or

subject to excessive heat.

≥Do not attempt to recharge dry cell batteries. ≥Do not allow metal objects to touch the battery termi-

nals as this may cause short-circuiting which is dangerous.

≥When carrying batteries in a pocket or bag, ensure no

metal objects such as necklaces are placed together with them. Contact with metal may cause short-circuiting which can cause a ﬁre.

When driving a car

In the interest of traffic safety, do not operate the unit

≥If rechargeable battery play time is short after recharg-

ing, the batteries have reached the end of their service life. Replace them with the recommended replacements.

≥Play time may be shorter than usual after recharging

batteries for the ﬁrst time or after they have been unused for a long time. Repeatedly recharge and discharge the batteries if this occurs to restore them to normal.

∫ Care

To prevent battery damage, electrolyte leakage and short-circuiting, heed the following points. ≥Do not peel off the covering on batteries and do not

use if the covering has been peeled off.

≥Align the poles + and - correctly when inserting the

batteries.

≥Do not mix different types or of batteries or old and

new batteries.
