Precautions
Road safety
Do not use the monitor unit and
headphones while driving, cycling,
or operating any 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.
On power sources
• The power requirements of this
unit are indicated on the AC
adaptor. Check that the unit’s
operating voltage is identical
with your local power supply.
• 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
AC power cord, grasp the plug
itself; never pull the cord.
• Do not touch the AC power cord
or 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 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.
AC power cord
(supplied)
On placement
• Place the player in a location
with adequate ventilation to
prevent heat build-up in the
player.
• 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 in a
location near heat sources, or in a
place subject to direct sunlight,
excessive 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 place heavy objects on
the player.
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 turned on for about half an
hour until the moisture
evaporates.
• 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.
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 wipe the LCD surface
with wet cloth. If water enters, a
malfunction may result.
• 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.
• Do not close the LCD panel with
a pen, etc., on the disc lid.

• If the player is brought directly
A
from a cold to a warm location,
moisture may condense over the
LCD surface. In which case,
wipe out the moisture with tissue
paper, etc., before use.
However, moisture condensation
will continue if the LCD surface
is cold. Wait until the surface
warms to room temperature.
On AC adaptor
• Use the supplied AC adaptor for
this player, as other adaptors
may cause a malfunction.
• Do not disassemble or reverseengineer.
• Do not drop or apply shock.
• Do not confine the AC adaptor in
a closed place such as a
bookshelf or an AV cabinet.
• Do not connect the AC adaptor
to a traveler’s electric
transformer, which may generate
heat and cause a malfunction.
On battery pack
• Certain countries may regulate
disposal of the battery used to
power this product. Please
consult with your local authority.
• Because of the battery’s limited
life, its capacity gradually
deteriorates over time and
repeated use. Purchase a new one
when the battery holds about
only half the normal period.
• The battery may not be charged
to its fullest capacity when
charged for the first time, or
when it has not been used for a
long time. The capacity recovers
after being charged and
discharged several times.
• Do not leave the battery pack in
a car or direct sunlight, where
temperature goes up above
60 ºC (140°F).
• Do not expose to water.
• Avoid short-circuiting the
battery connecting jacks (A)
located on the bottom of the
player and the connecting jacks
(C) on the battery pack with
metal objects such as a necklace.
• Make sure dust or sand does not
enter the battery connecting
jacks (A) and the guide holes (B)
located on the bottom of the
player, and the connecting jacks
(C) and the guide holes (D) on
the battery pack.

location near heat sources, or in a
place subject to direct sunlight or
mechanical shock, or in a car
with its windows closed.
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 advice
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
outside 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 as alcohol or benzine.
On cleaning discs, disc/
lens cleaners
Do not use cleaning discs or disc/
lens cleaners (including wet or
spray types). These may cause
the apparatus to malfunction.

Car battery adaptor (supplied)
z Hint
If the car adaptor interferes with car operation, use a commercial cigarette lighter extension cord.
Notes
• Do not use the car adaptor if it has been dropped or damaged.
• Arrange the cord so as not to interfere with the driver. Also, do not place the LCD panel where the driver
can watch.
• If the picture is not clear, keep the player away from the car battery adaptor.
• Use the car battery adaptor with the car engine running. If it is used with the car engine off, the car battery
may become unusable.
• If the cigarette lighter socket is dirty with ash, etc, a bad connection may cause the plug to heat up. Always
clean well before use.
• The car battery adaptor may heat up while charging or after a long period of use. That is not a malfunction.
After using the car battery adaptor
After turning the player off, disconnect the car battery adaptor from the cigarette lighter socket.
Notes
• Do not turn off the car engine while the player is turned on. Doing so stops the power supply and may cause
damage to the player.
• Disconnect the car battery adaptor after use. Since some cars supply power to the cigarette lighter socket
even when the engine is turned off, the car battery may discharge over time.
• When disconnecting the car battery adaptor, hold the plug to pull it out.
• When listening to the car radio, disconnect the car battery adaptor from the cigarette lighter socket to avoid
noise.
