motorized 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.

time, be sure to disconnect the player from the
wall outlet. To disconnect the AC adaptor,
grasp the plug itself; never pull the cord.
• Do not touch the AC adaptor with wet hands.
Doing so may cause shock hazard.
• Use a commercially available AC plug
adaptor, if necessary, depending on the design
of the wall outlet.

On placement
• Do not place the player in a confined space
such as a bookshelf or similar unit.
• Do not cover the v entilation 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, exce ssive 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 power again later.
• Keep the lens on the player 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.
• Do not use the player in an 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.
• Do not turn off the player during software
update, as it may cause a malfunction.
On Liquid Crystal Display
• Although manufactured with high precision
technology, the LCD may occasionally
display dots of various colors. 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 regulate disposal of the
battery used to 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 reverse-engineer.
• Do not touch the metal parts, as it may cause a
short and damage the adaptors, 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 experts
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
you to hear external sounds and still be
considerate to the people around you.

On cleaning
• Clean the cabinet, panel, and controls with a
soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild
detergent solution. Do not use any type of
abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent such

lightly. To prevent dirt buildup, wipe it
frequently.
Do not wipe the LCD surface with a wet cloth.
