OWNER’S MANUAL
KT2038
Dear Hello Kitty® Customer:
Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you've just purchased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it's time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association's Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the sound come through loud and clear without annoying blaring or distortion and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing. Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing "comfort level" adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds "normal" can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.
To establish a safe level:
Start your volume control at a low setting.
Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without
distortion.
Once you have established a comfortable sound level:
Set the dial and leave it there.
Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss in the future. After all, we want you listening for a lifetime.
We Want You Listening For a Lifetime
Used wisely, your new sound equipment will provide a lifetime of fun and enjoyment. Since hearing damage from loud noise is often undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association's Consumer Electronics Group recommend you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise. This list of sound levels is included for your protection.
Decibel Level Example
30 Quiet Library, soft whispers 40 Living room, refrigerator, bedroom away from traffic 50 Light traffic, normal conversation, quiet office 60 Air conditioner at 20 feet, sewing machine 70 Vacuum cleaner, hair dryer, noisy restaurant 80 Average city traffic, garbage disposals, alarm clock at two feet
THE FOLLOWING NOISES CAN BE DANGEROUS UNDER CONSTANT EXPOSURE:
90 Subway, motorcycle, truck traffic, lawn mower 100 Garbage truck, chain saw, pneumatic drill 120 Rock band concert in front of speakers, thunderclap 140 Gunshot blast, jet engine 180 Rocket launching pad

“ESP” ANTI-SKIP PROTECTION
This player incorporates the latest digital anti-skip circuit, which prevents interruption of the sound output if the unit is subjected to shock or vibration during disc playback. The anti-skip system will automatically be activated when a disc is played and will show the ESP in the display. The ESP icon will flash rapidly while the data buffer fills and then steadily when it is full.
The sound will mute for approximately 1 second while the buffer fills. Once full, the buffer will give approximately 60 seconds of protection against interruption of sound output. If the player is subjected to shock or rolling for longer than the buffer memory, some interruption of sound output will occur. This is normal and to be expected and the sound will resume once the player has stabilized from the shock or rolling disturbance.
NOTE:
To turn off this function, press the ESP button.
While the “ESP” Anti-skip function provides for continuous sound output when
the unit is subjected to shock or vibration. It will not compensate for errors arising from the use of defective, scratched or dirty discs.
When using the “ESP” Anti-skip function the battery power consumption
increases due to the faster disc rotation and the active dynamic memory.
When powering the unit solely from batteries, you are advised to use the “ESP”
Anti-skip system only when necessary to preserve battery life.
