Precautions
Road safety
Do not use the monitor unit and
headphones while driving,
cycling, or operating any
motorised vehicle. Doing so
may create a traffic hazard and is
illegal in some areas. It can also
be potentially dangerous to play
your headsets at high volume
while walking, especially at
pedestrian crossings. You
should exercise extreme caution
or discontinue use in potentially
hazardous situations.
On safety
Should any solid object or liquid
fall into the cabinet, unplug the
player and have it checked by
qualified personnel before
operating it any further.
On power sources
• If you are not going to use the
player for a long time, be sure
to disconnect the player from
the wall outlet. To disconnect
the mains lead, grasp the plug
itself; never pull the cord.
• Do not touch the mains lead or
the AC adaptor with wet
hands. Doing so may cause
shock hazard.
• Do not connect the mains lead
to a traveler’s electric
transformer, which may
generate heat and cause a
malfunction.
On temperature increases
Heat may build up inside the
player during charging or if it is
being used for a long time. This
is not a malfunction.
GB

On placement
• Do not place the player in a
confined space such as a
bookshelf or similar unit.
• Do not cover the ventilation of
the player with newspapers,
tablecloths, curtains, etc. And
do not place the player on a
soft surface, such as a rug.
• Do not place the player and
adaptors in a location near heat
sources, or in a place subject to
direct sunlight, excess ive dust,
sand, moisture, rain, or
mechanical shock, or in a car
with its windows closed.
• Do not place the player in an
inclined position. It is
designed to be operated in a
horizontal position only.
• Keep the player and discs
away from equipment with
strong magnet, such as
microwave ovens, or large
loudspeakers.
• Do not drop or apply strong
shock.
Do not place heavy objects on
the player and accessories.
On operation
• If the player is brought directly
from a cold to a warm location,
or is placed in a very damp
room, moisture may condense
on the lenses inside the player.
Should this occur, the player
may not operate properly. In
this case, remove the disc and
leave the player for about half
an hour until the moisture
evaporates. Wipe off moisture
attached to the LCD surface
with tissue etc. Turn on the

clean and do not touch it.
Touching the lens may
damage the lens and cause the
player to malfunction. Leave
the disc lid closed except when
you insert or remove discs.

area subject to excessive dust
or cigarette smoke. Dust buildup or cigarette smoke residue
on internal components such
as the lens may cause the
player to malfunction.
On Liquid Crystal Display
• Although manufactured with
high precision technology, the
LCD may occasionally display
dots of various colours . That is
not a malfunction.
• Do not place or drop any
object onto the LCD surface.
Also, do not apply pressure
from hands or elbows.
• Do not damage the LCD
surface with a sharp edged
tool.
On rechargeable battery
• Because of the battery’s
limited life, its capacity
gradually deteriorates over
time and repeated use.
Exchange a new one for the
old one when the battery holds
about only half the normal
period.
• To prevent battery
deterioration, charge the
battery at least once every half
a year or every year.
• Certain countries may regu late

power this product. Please
consult with your local
authority.
On AC adaptor and car
battery adaptor
• Use the supplied adaptors for
the player, as other adaptors
may cause a malfunction.
• Do not disassemble or reverseengineer.
• Do not touch the metal parts,
as it may cause a short and

especially if touched by other
metal objects.
On adjusting volume
Do not turn up the volume while
listening to a section with very
low level inputs or no audio
signals. If you do, the speakers
may be damaged when a peak
level section is played.
On headphones
• Preventing hearing damage:
Avoid using headphones at
high volumes. Hearing expe rts
advise against continuous,
loud, and extended play. If you
experience a ringing in your
ears, reduce the volume or
discontinue use.
• Showing consideration for
others: Keep the volume at a
moderate level. This will allow
