IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTIONS ABOUT BATTERIES
This product uses batteries. Misuse of batteries could cause a
leak, rupture or other trouble. Always abide by the following
precautions when using batteries.
• Never recharge non-rechargeable batteries. The batteries
could rupture or leak, causing fire or injury.
• When installing batteries, pay attention to the polarity
indications (plus/minus (+/–) orientation), and install them
correctly in the battery compartment as indicated. Putting
them in backward could make the batteries rupture or leak,
causing fire, injury or stains around them.
• When you store or dispose batteries, isolate their terminals
with insulation tape or something like that to prevent them
from contacting other batteries or metallic objects.
• When throwing used batteries away, follow the disposal
instructions indicated on the batteries and the local disposal
laws.
• Do not use batteries other than those specified. Do not mix
and use new and old batteries or different types of batteries
together. The batteries could rupture or leak, causing fire,
injury or stains around them.
• Do not carry or store batteries together with small metal
objects. The batteries could short, causing leak, rupture or
other trouble.
• Do not heat or disassemble batteries. Do not put them in fire
or water. Batteries could rupture or leak, causing fire, injury or
stains around them.
• If the battery fluid leaks, wipe away any fluid on the battery
case before inserting new batteries. If the battery fluid gets
in an eye, it could cause loss of eyesight. If fluid does enter
an eye, wash it out thoroughly with clean water without
rubbing the eye and then consult a doctor immediately. If the
fluid gets on a person’s body or clothing, it could cause skin
injuries or burns. If this should happen, wash it off with clean
water and then consult a doctor immediately.
• The unit power should be off when you install and replace
batteries.
• Remove the batteries if you do not plan to use the unit for a
long time. Batteries could rupture or leak, causing fire, injury
or stains around them. If the battery fluid leaks, wipe away
any fluid on the battery compartment before inserting new
batteries.
• Do not disassemble a battery. The acid inside the battery
could harm skin or clothing.
For European Customers
Disposal of electrical and electronic equipment and
batteries and/or accumulators
(a) All electrical/electronic equipment and waste batteries/
accumulators should be disposed of separately from the
municipal waste stream via collection facilities designated
by the government or local authorities.
(b) By disposing of electrical/electronic equipment and waste
batteries/accumulators correctly, you will help save valuable
resources and prevent any potential negative effects on
human health and the environment.
(c) Improper disposal of waste electrical/electronic equipment
and batteries/accumulators can have serious effects on the
environment and human health because of the presence of
hazardous substances in the equipment.
(d) The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE)
symbols, which show wheeled bins that have been
crossed out, indicate that electrical/electronic
equipment and batteries/accumulators must be
collected and disposed of separately from household
waste.
If a battery or accumulator contains more than the
specified values of lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), and/or
cadmium (Cd) as defined in the Battery Directive
(2006/66/EC), then the chemical symbols for those
elements will be indicated beneath the WEEE
symbol.
(e) Return and collection systems are available to end users.
For more detailed information about the disposal of old
electrical/electronic equipment and waste batteries/
accumulators, please contact your city office, waste disposal
service or the shop where you purchased the equipment.

SD cards and USB flash drives are delicate media.
In order to avoid damaging SD cards and USB flash drives,
please take the following precautions when handling them.
p Do not leave them in extremely hot or cold places.
p Do not leave them in extremely humid places.
p Do not let them get wet.
p Do not put things on top of them or twist them.
p Do not hit them.
p Do not remove or insert them during playback, data
transmission or other access.
p When transporting them, put them into cases, for example.
Handling discs
p Load discs with their recorded sides down.
p Load discs when the disc tray is completely open.
p Align discs with the tray guide and place them so they are
level.
p Do not touch the recorded (unlabeled) side. Fingerprints, oils
and other substances can cause errors during playback.
p If fingerprints or dust adhere to the recorded side of a disc,
wipe it gently with a soft dry cloth from the center towards
the outside edge.
p Dirt on discs can lower video and sound quality, so clean
them and always store them in a clean state.
p Do not use any record spray, anti-static solutions, benzene,
paint thinner or other chemical agents to clean discs as they
could damage the delicate playing surface. It may cause discs
to become unplayable.
p Do not apply labels or other materials to discs. Do not use
discs that have glue or sticky residue from having had tape,
stickers or other materials applied to their surface. Such discs
could become stuck in the unit or cause it to malfunction.
p Never use commercially-available disc stabilizers. Using
stabilizers with this player could prevent playback or damage
the unit.
p Do not use cracked discs.
p Do not use discs that are irregularly shaped, including discs
shaped like hearts, business cards and octagons because
using such discs could cause the unit to malfunction.
p Copy Control CDs have been sold by several record
companies in an attempt to protect their copyrights. Since
some of these discs do not comply with the CD specifications,
they may not be playable on the unit.
NOTE
If a disc that cannot be played back or a disc that is upside
down is loaded in the unit, “NO DISC” will appear on the
display.
