The Safety of Your Ears is in Your Hands

Get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level – a level that lets the sound come through clearly without annoying blaring or distortion and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive 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 harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.

ESTABLISH A SAFE LEVEL:

• Set your volume control at a low setting.

• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, without distortion.

• Once you have established a comfortable sound level, set the dial and leave it there.

BE SURE TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES:

• Do not turn up the volume so high that you can’t hear what’s around you.

• Use caution or temporarily discontinue use in potentially hazardous situations.

• Do not use headphones while operating a motorized vehicle; the use of headphones may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in many areas.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

THE MODEL NUMBER AND SERIAL NUMBER OF THIS EQUIPMENT ARE ON THE REAR OR BOTTOM. RECORD THESE NUMBERS ON YOUR ENCLOSED WARRANTY CARD AND KEEP IN A SAFE PLACE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

Condensation

If the unit is moved suddenly from a cold place into a warm room (in winter, for example) or if the temperature in the room in which the player is installed rises suddenly due to a heater, etc., water droplets (condensation) may form inside (on operating parts and the lens). When condensation is present, the player will not operate properly and playback is not possible. Let the player stand at room temperature for 1 or 2 hours with the power turned on (the time depends on the extent of condensation). The water droplets will dissipate and playback will become possible. Condensation can also occur in the summer if the player is exposed to the direct wind from an air-conditioner. If this happens, move the player to a different place.

This unit uses a 2.4 GHz radio wave frequency, which is a band used by other wireless systems (see list below). To prevent noise or interrupted communication, do not use this unit nearby such devices, or make sure these devices are switched off during use.

• Cordless phones

• Cordless facsimiles

• Microwave ovens

• Wireless LAN devices (IEEE802.11b/g)

• Wireless AV equipment

• Wireless controllers for game systems

• Microwave-based health aids

• Some baby monitors

Other, less common, equipment that may operate on the same frequency:

• Anti-theft systems

• Amateur radio stations (HAM)

• Warehouse logistic management systems

• Discrimination systems for train or emergency vehicles

• In the event noise appears in your television image, there is the possibility that a Bluetooth wireless technology enabled device or this unit (including products supported by this unit) are causing signal

interference with the antenna input connector of your television, video, satellite tuner, etc. In this event, increase the distance between the antenna input connector and the Bluetooth wireless technology enabled device or this unit (including products supported by this unit).

• If there is something obstructing the path between this unit (including devices supported by this unit) and the device equipped with Bluetooth wireless technology (such as a metal door, concrete wall, or insulation containing tinfoil), you may need to change the location of your system to prevent signal noise and interruptions.

∫ Scope of operation

Use of this unit is limited to home use. (Transmission distances may be reduced depending on communication environment).

In the following locations, poor condition or inability to receive radio waves may cause the audio to be interrupted or stopped:

• In reinforced concrete buildings or steel framed or ironframed buildings.

• Near large metallic furniture.

• In a crowd of people or near a building or obstacle.

• In a location exposed to the magnetic field, static electricity or radio wave interference from radio communication equipment using the same frequency band (2.4 GHz) as this unit, such as a 2.4 GHz wireless LAN device (IEEE802.11b/g) or microwave oven.

• If you live in a heavily populated residential area (apartment, townhouse, etc.) and if your neighbor’s microwave is placed near your system, you may experience radio wave interference. If this occurs, move your unit to a different place. When the microwave is not in use, there will be no radio wave interference.

∫ Radio wave reflections

The radio waves received by this unit include the radio wave coming directly from the device equipped with Bluetooth wireless technology (direct wave) and waves coming from various directions due to reflections by walls, furniture and building (reflected waves). The reflected waves (due to obstacles and reflecting objects) further produce a variety of reflected waves as well as variation in reception condition depending on locations. If the audio cannot be received properly due to this phenomenon, try moving the location of the device equipped with Bluetooth wireless technology a little. Also note that audio may be interrupted due to the reflected waves when a person crosses or approaches the space between this unit and the device equipped with Bluetooth wireless technology.
