CAUTIONS FOR SAFETY

Do not take the unit apart. The laser beam
used in the unit could harm your eyes.

Ê

Do not insert pins or other objects inside
the unit. This unit is equipped with a
safety device which automatically turns
the laser beam off when the disc
compartment is opened. If a pin or other
metal object should get inside the unit,
however, this safety device may be
deactivated.

Ë

Do not drop the unit or subject it to
strong shocks. Doing so could result in
damage.

Do not place the unit in the following
locations:

Ê

Locations where the temperature is
high. The cabinet may warp or the unit
may otherwise be damaged if it is placed
in direct sunlight, near heaters (where
the temperature is 140 F/60 C or
greater) or in cars with the windows
closed. (In the summer, the temperature
may get as high as 212 F/110 C or
more.) Use the unit within a temperature
range of 41 F/5 C to 95 F/35 C.

Ë

In humid or dusty locations.

Ì

In locations exposed to heavy
vibrations.

Í

On unstable or tilted surfaces.

LL

CONDENSATION

If cold water is poured into a glass, water
droplets form on the outside of the glass.
This is called condensation. Condensation
may occur on internal operating parts of the
laser pickup.

CONDENSATION OCCURS:

Ê

When the unit is brought from the
outdoors into a warm room, or if it is in a
cold room which is heated quickly.

Ë

In the summer, if the unit is moved
suddenly from an air-conditioned room or
car to a hot or humidlocation.

SHOULD CONDENSATION OCCUR:

The unit may not operate properly if
condensation occurs. Wait for 1 to 2 hours
(to allow the internal parts to adjust to the
surrounding temperature) before using the
unit.

DC 4.5V jack, then plug the other end
into an AC wall outlet.

Precautions on using the AC Adapter.

Ê

Do not touch the AC adapter with wet
hands. Doing so is dangerous, as this
could result in an electrical shock.

Ë

When replacing the alkaline batteries,
use two new batteries of the same
type. Do not mix a used battery with a
new one or mix different types of
batteries.

Ë

When inserting the batteries,
mistakenly inserting even one with
improper polarity will cause leakage.

Ì

Never charge, heat, disassemble, or

throw batteries into a fire.

HANDLING COMPACT DISCS

This unit is designed to play compact discs
bearing the identification logo (below).
Discs that do not carry this logo may not
conform to the CD standards and may not
play properly.

COMPACT

DIGITAL AUDIO

Dirty. scratched or warped discs may
cause skipping or noise. Pay attention to
the following: Handle the disc only by the
edges. To keep the disc clean, do not touch
the surface of the disc.

Ê

Discs should be returned to their cases
after use to avoid serious scratches that
could cause the laser pickup to skip.

Ë

Do not expose discs to direct sunlight,
high humidity, or high temperatures for
extended periods. Prolonged exposure to
high temperatures can warp a disc.

Ì

Do not apply paper or write anything on
either side of a compact disc. Sharp
writing instruments, or the inks used in
some felt-tip pens, may damage the
surface of the disc.

CLEANING DISCS

Ê

Fingerprints should be wiped from the
surface of the disc with a soft cloth.
Unlike conventional records, compact
discs have no grooves to collect dust and
microscopic debris, so gently wiping
them with a cloth should remove most
particles. Wipe in a straight motion from
the inside to the outside ofthe disc.

YES

NO

Ë Never use chemicals such as record

cleaning sprays, anti-static sprays or
thinner to clean compact discs. Such
chemicals can damage the disc.

EN

OP

LINE OUT

The unit will not play a disc that has been inserted upside down or discs that do not

i

conform to the Compact Disc standard. Also, the unit might not play discs that are
scratched, soiled or carry fingerprints.
3" (8-cm) CDs can be played without an adapter.

When the Anti-S button is pressed
during play, the indicator appears
in the display. Digital data equivalent
to 300 seconds is stored in a "read
ahead" memory buffer before it is
decoded and played. The mark
changes to a mark, indicating the
buffer is full.
When the unit is subjected to a shock
during play the data stored in
memory continues to be decoded and
played. This gives the pickup time to
stabilize and continue reading new
data. As the data is read from
memory the indicator changes to .

it will scan the track

iiWhen the data buffer is filling, the

disc will turn at normal speed. After

emptied the disc will begin to turn
again.
Press the Anti-S button to turn anti­skip protection off.

NOTE: Keep the anti-skip function off when

using the unit in a stable location
where it will not be subjected to
shocks. The battery power
consumption is reduced when skip
protection function is turned off

NOTE: When ANTI-S is switched on or off,

the sound will be interrupted for 1
