On safety

• Should any solid or liquid object enter the cabinet, unplug the unit and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.

• Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if it is not to be used for an extended period of time. To disconnect the cord, pull it out by the plug. Never pull the cord itself. The unit is not disconnected from the AC power source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the unit itself has been turned off.

• The AC power cord must be changed only at the qualified service shop.

• As the laser beam used in this unit is harmful to the eyes, do not attempt to disassemble the cabinet. Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.

On operation

• Do not turn up the volume while listening to a portion with no audio signals or very low level inputs. If you do, the speakers may be damaged when a peak level portion is played.

On the disc tray

• If the disc tray does not close properly and slides out again,

reinsert the discs.

• Be careful not to pinch your fingers between the disc tray

and the unit.

• Place only one disc in a disc compartment at a time.

• When the disc tray is open, do not press down on it forcibly,

nor place a heavy object on it.

On moisture condensation

If the unit is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, or is placed in a very damp room, moisture may condense on the lens inside the unit. Should this occur, the unit will not operate. In this case, remove the disc and leave the unit turned on for about an hour until the moisture evaporates.

Notes on handling discs

• To keep a disc clean, handle the disc by its edge.

Do not touch the surface.

Do not stick paper or tape on the disc.

RM-D535. The CDP-C435 comes with the RM-D435.

• The illustrations in this manual are of the CDP-C535.

Convention

This indicates a function operated only from the
