FOR SAFE AND EFFICIENTOPERATION

I

.

The apparatus shall not be exposed to
dripping or splashing.

Do not damage the mains lead.
When not in use, disconnect the mains lead
from the outlet. Grasp the plug, notthe cord,
when disconnecting the unit.

If water should enter the unit, electrical shock
or a malfunction may result. Use in an area
where there is low humidity and little dust.

Do not disassemble or alter the unit in any
way.

Do not use the unit in areas where extremes
intemperature occur (below 5”Corexceeding
35”C), or where it may be exposed to direct
sunlight.

Because of the CD player’s extremely low
noise and wide dynamic range, there is a
tendency to turn the volume on the amplifier
higherthan necessary. Doing so may produce
an excessively high output from the amplifier
which can cause damage to your speakers.
Please be careful in this regard.

- Sudden changes in the surrounding tem­peraturecan cause dewtoform ontheoptical
pickup lens inside the unit. Under this
condition the unit may be unable to operate
properly. If this should occur, remove the
disc and allow the player to adjust to the
surrounding temperature.

Do not install this equipment in a confined
space, such as a book case or built-in cabinet.
