Safety

a Read these instructions.
b Keep these instructions.
c Heed all warnings.
d Follow all instructions.
e Do not use this apparatus near water.
f Clean only with dry cloth.
g Do not block any ventilation openings.

Install in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions.

h Do not install near any heat sources such

as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or

other apparatus (including ampliers) that

produce heat.

i For countries with a polarized mains, do not

defeat the safety purpose of the polarized
or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has
two blades with one wider than the other.
A grounding type plug has two blades and
a third grounding prong. The wide blade
or the third prong are provided for your

safety. If the provided plug does not t

into your outlet, consult an electrician for
replacement of the obsolete outlet.
Caution: To prevent electric shock, match
the wide blade of the plug to the wide slot,
fully insert.

j Protect the power cord from being

walked on or pinched, particularly at plugs,
convenience receptacles, and the point
where they exit from the apparatus.

k Only use attachments/accessories specied

by the manufacturer.

l Use only with the cart, stand, tripod,

bracket, or table specied by the

manufacturer or sold with the apparatus.
When a cart is used, use caution when
moving the cart/apparatus combination to
avoid injury from tip-over.

m Unplug this apparatus during lightning

storms or when unused for long periods of
time.

n Refer all servicing to qualied service

personnel. Servicing is required when
the apparatus has been damaged in any
way, such as power-supply cord or plug is
damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects
have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus
has been exposed to rain or moisture, does
not operate normally, or has been dropped.

o Battery usage CAUTION – To prevent

battery leakage which may result in bodily
injury, property damage, or damage to the
unit:

Install all batteries correctly, + and - as

•
marked on the unit.
Do not mix batteries (old and new or

•
carbon and alkaline, etc.).
Remove batteries when the unit is not

•
used for a long time.

p Apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping

or splashing.

q Do not place any sources of danger on the

apparatus (e.g. liquid lled objects, lighted
candles).

r This product may contain lead and

mercury. Disposal of these materials
may be regulated due to environmental
considerations. For disposal or recycling
information, please contact your local
authorities or the Electronic Industries
Alliance: www.eiae.org.

Warning

Never remove the casing of this player.

•

Never lubricate any part of this player.

•

Never place this player on other electrical equipment.

•

Keep this player away from direct sunlight, naked ames

•

or heat.
Never look into the laser beam inside the player.

•

Ensure that you always have easy access to the power

•

cord, plug or adaptor to disconnect the player from the
power.

How to connect a plug

The wires in the mains lead are coloured with the
following code: blue = neutral (N), brown = live
(L).
As these colours may not correspond with the
colour markings identifying the terminals in your
plug, proceed as follows:

Connect the blue wire to the terminal

•
marked N or coloured black.
Connect the brown wire to the terminal

•
marked L or coloured red.
Do not connect either wire to the earth

•
terminal in the plug, marked E (or e) or
coloured green (or green and yellow).

Before replacing the plug cover, make certain
that the cord grip is clamped over the sheath
of the lead - not simply over the two wires.

Mains plug

This apparatus is tted with an approved 13 Amp

plug. To change a fuse in this type of plug proceed
as follows:

a Remove fuse cover and fuse.
b Fix new fuse which should be a BS13625

Amp, A.S.T.A. or BSI approved type.

c Ret the fuse cover.

If the tted plug is not suitable for your socket

outlets, it should be cut off and an appropriate

plug tted in its place.

If the mains plug contains a fuse, this should have
a value of 5 Amp. If a plug without a fuse is used,
the fuse at the distribution board should not be
greater than 5 Amp.
The severed plug must be disposed off to avoid a
possible shock hazard should it be inserted into a
13 Amp socket elsewhere.

For å redusere faren for brann eller elektrisk støt,

skal apparatet, ikke utsettes for regn eller fuktighet.

Hearing safety

Listen at a moderate volume.

Using headphones at a high volume can

•
impair your hearing. This product can
produce sounds in decibel ranges that may
cause hearing loss for a normal person, even
for exposure less than a minute. The higher
decibel ranges are offered for those that may
have already experienced some hearing loss.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your

•
hearing “comfort level” adapts to higher
volumes of sound. So after prolonged
listening, what sounds “normal” can actually
be loud and harmful to your hearing. To
guard against this, set your volume to a safe
level before your hearing adapts and leave it
there.

To establish a safe volume level:

Set your volume control at a low setting.

•
Slowly increase the sound until you can hear

•
it comfortably and clearly, without distortion.

Listen for reasonable periods of time:

Prolonged exposure to sound, even at

•
normally “safe” levels, can also cause hearing
loss.
Be sure to use your equipment reasonably

•
and take appropriate breaks.

Be sure to observe the following guidelines
when using your headphones.

Listen at reasonable volumes for reasonable

•
periods of time.
Be careful not to adjust the volume as your

•
hearing adapts.
Do not turn up the volume so high that you

•
can’t hear what’s around you.
You should use caution or temporarily

•
discontinue use in potentially hazardous
situations. Do not use headphones while
operating a motorized vehicle, cycling,

skateboarding, etc.; it may create a trafc

hazard and is illegal in many areas.
