We Want You Listening For A Lifetime

Used wisely, your new sound equipment will provide alifetime of

fun and enjoyment. Since hearing damage from loud noise is often
undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer and the Electronic

Industries Association's Consumer Electronics Group recommend
you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise. This list of sound

levels is included for your protection.

Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you've just Decibel

purchased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it's time Level
to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your 30
equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries 40
Association's Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most 50
out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the 60
sound come through loud and clear without annoying blaring or 70
distortion--and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive 80
hearing.

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 harm[u\ to _yourhearing. Guard against this by

setting your equipment at asafe level BEFORE _jourhearing 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.

Then turn the power off, and, after the "OFF" display
goes out blinking on the display, disconnect the power
cord.

INSTALLING THE PLAYER

• Place the player on a stable platform next to the television
and stereo system to be used with the player.

• Do not place heavy objects such as a television or TV

monitor on top of the player.

• Do not place the player on top of your TV set or TV

monitor. Also, keep the player away from devices such

as cassette decks which are sensitive to magnetic fields.

DO NOT INSTALL THE PLAYER IN THE FOLLOWING
LOCATIONS

• In a place subject to direct sunlight.

• In humid or poorly ventilated places.

• In extremely hot or cold places.

• In a place subject to vibrations.

• In a dusty place.

• In a place subject to soot, steam or heat (in a kitchen, etc.)

AVOID SOURCES OF HEAT

Do not put the player on sources of heat, such as an
amplifier. When installing with audio components on a rack,
avoid components that generate heat, by placing the player
below such components where there is adequate ventilation
and not much dust. Avoid placing the player on surfaces
such as shaggy carpets, beds, and sofas which may block
ventilation under the player and cause damage.

CAUTION

Even when the player is in the pause mode, the disc-drive
motor is still revolving. Since leaving the player inthis condition
can shorten the lifetime of the motor, do not leave the player
in the pause mode for long periods of time. Also, to prevent
the damage to the screen, do not use the unit for long periods
of time under conditions in which the screen display (monitor)
has been displayed characters (for example, power-ON mode,
CD PLAY, PAUSE). With LD disc, if playback is paused for
about 20 minutes, the player will automatically enter stop

mode.

STRIPE PATTERNS APPEARING ON A TV
PROGRAM

Stripe patterns may appear during a TV program if the player

unit is turned on, depending on the quality of reception of

the TV station. This is neither a malfunction of the television

nor the player. If stripes appear while watching the TV, or

when watching the TV for long periods of time, turn the

player off.

When FM or AM stations are being received, signal noise
may be generated if the player is turned on. Turn off the
player when not in use. Also, if there is signal noise when
receiving radio stations with an indoor antenna, adjust the
position or direction of the antenna.

CONDENSATION
Moisture will form in the operating section of the player
if the player is brought from cool surroundings into a

warm room or if the temperature of the room rises
suddenly. When this happens, player's performance will
be impaired.
To prevent this, let the player stand in its new
surroundings for about an hour before switching it on,
or make sure that the room temperature rises gradually.

Condensation may also form during the summer if the player
is exposed to the breeze from an air conditioner. In such
cases, change the location of the player.

POWER-CORD CAUTION
