Before Use

Read This Before Operating

O Choose the installation location of your

unit carefully. Avoid placing it in direct
sunlight or close to a source of heat.
Also avoid locations subject to
vibrations and excessive dust, heat, cold
or moisture. Keep away from such
sources that hum, such as transformers
or motors.

O Do not open the cabinet as this might

result in damage to the circuitry or
electrical shock. If a foreign object
should get into the set, contact your
dealer.

O Be sure not to handle discs with dirty

fingers. Never insert a disc which has a
crack on the surface.

O When removing the power plug from the

wall outlet, always pull directly on the
plug, never yank the cord.

O To keep the laser-pickup clean, do not

touch it, and do not forget to close the
disc tray.

O Do not attempt to clean the unit with

chemical solvents as this might damage
the finish. Use a clean, dry cloth.

O Keep this manual in a safe place for

future reference.

Beware of condensation

When the player (or a compact disc) is
moved from a cold to a warm place or
used after a sudden temperature
change, there is the danger of
condensation. Water vapor in the air
could condense on the mechanism or
the laser pickup. If droplets of water
form on these parts, correct playback
will be impossible because the laser
cannot read the information from the
disc correctly. To prevent this, if you
are going to use the player in a
condition where condensation could
occur, you should leave the player for 1
or 2 hours after plugging it into an AC
outlet depending on the amount of
condensation. If this is done, the player
will stabilize at the temperature of its
surroundings.

Handling the Discs

This unit has been designed specifically for
reproduction of compact discs bearing the
"

" mark. No other discs can be

D

reproduced.

O Always place the compact disc in the

disc tray with the label facing upward.
(Compact discs can be played only on
one side.)

O To remove a disc from its storage case,

press down on the center of the case
and lift the disc out, holding it carefully
by the edges.

How to remove the disc

How to hold the disc

O Fingermarks and dust should be

carefully wiped off the disc's recorded
surface with a soft cloth.

Wipe radially

O Never use such chemicals as record

sprays, antistatic sprays or fluid,
benzine or thinner to clean compact
discs. Such chemicals will do
irreparable damage to the disc's plastic
surface.

O Discs should be returned to their cases

after use to avoid serious scratches that
could cause the laser pickup to "skip."

O Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or

high humidity and temperature for
extended periods.
Long exposure to high temperatures can
warp the disc.

O Do not stick paper or write anything with

a ballpoint pen on the surface of the
label side.

IMPORTANT (for U.K. Customers)

DO NOT cut off the mains plug from this
equipment. If the plug fitted is not

suitable for the power points in your
home or the cable is too short to reach a
power point, then obtain an appropriate
safety approved extension lead or
consult your dealer.

If nonetheless the mains plug is cut of
remove the fuse and dispose of the plug
immediately, to avoid a possible shock
hazard by inadvertent connection to the
mains supply.

If this product is not provided with a
mains plug, or one has to be fitted,
follow the instructions given below:

IMPORTANT. DO NOT make any
connection to the larger terminal which
is marked with the letter E or by the
safety earth symbol © or coloured
GREEN or GREEN-and-YELLOW.

The wires in the mains lead on this
product are coloured in accordance
with the following code:

BLUE: NEUTRAL
BROWN: LIVE

As these colours may not correspond
with the coloured markings identifying
the terminals in your plug proceed as
follows:

The wire which is coloured BLUE must
be connected to the terminal which is
marked with the letter N or coloured
BLACK.

The wire which is coloured BROWN
must be connected to the terminal
which is marked with the letter L or
coloured RED.

When r
correctly rated approved type should be
used and be sure to re-fit the fuse cover.

m Remote Control Unit

The provided Remote Control Unit allows
the unit to be operated from a distance.
When operating the remote control unit,
point it towards the remote sensor on the
front panel of the unit.

m Battery Installation

1. Remove the battery compartment cover.

2. Insert two "AA" (R6, SUM-3) dry
batteries.

Make sure that the batteries are
inserted with their positive ≠ and
negative – poles positioned correctly.

3. Close the cover until it clicks.

Battery Replacement

If you notice that the distance between the
remote control unit and the player for
correct operation becomes shorter, it
indicates that the batteries are exhausted.
In this case replace the batteries with new
ones.

● Even if the remote control unit is
operated within the effective range,
remote control operation may be
impossible if there are any obstacles
between the player and the remote
control.

● If the remote control unit is operated
near other appliances which generate
infrared rays, or if other remote control
devices using infrared rays are used
near the player, the player may operate
incorrectly. In the reverse way, the
other appliances may operate
incorrectly.

Precautions Concerning Batteries

● Be sure to insert the batteries with
correct positive ≠ and negative –
polarities.

● Use batteries of the same type. Never
use different types of batteries together.

● Rechargeable and non-rechargeable
batteries can be used. Refer to the
precautions on their labels.

● When the remote control unit is not to
be used for a long time (more than a
month), remove the batteries from the
remote control unit to prevent them
from leaking. If they leak, wipe away the
liquid inside the battery compartment
and replace the batteries with new
ones.

● Do not heat or disassemble batteries
and never dispose of old batteries by
throwing them in a fire.

Basic troubleshooting of a CD player is similar to troubleshooting of any other electrical or electronic equipment. Always check the most obvious
possible causes first. To give you a few ideas of what to look for, check the following:

Problem Probable Cause Remedy

No power when POWER is pressed. Power plug not inserted securely. Plug in securely.

No playback when disc is loaded. Disc loaded with label side down. Load with label side up.

Disc dirty. Clean disc surface.

No audio output. Connection to stereo system is incorrect. Check connections.

A single track can only be played. ONE/ALL button engaged. Press button to disengage it.

No program playback. PROGRAM button not pressed. Press button to display “MEMORY”.

Mistracing (sound jumping). Player receiving vibration or shock. Change the installation position of the player.

Disc dirty. Clean disc surface.

Hum. Pin-cord plug not connected securely. Re-connect plug securely.

Noise in tuner. Player too near tuner. Keep a reasonable distance between them

or switch off player’s power.

Remote control unit operation is impossible. Player’s POWER switch set to OFF. Set switch to ON.

Batteries not inserted in remote control unit. Insert batteries.

Caution:

Since the unit incorporates a microcomputer, it may not operate correctly because of external noise, etc. If this happens, turn the power switch
OFF, then turn it ON again and restart operations.
