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 indicat-
ed. Putting them in backward could make the batteries
rupture or leak, causing fire, injur y 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 dispos-
al 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 carr y 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
bat tery 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 thor-
oughly 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

About compact discs
In addition to commercially-available music CDs, this unit can
play CD-R and CD-RW discs recorded in the audio CD (CD-DA)
format as well as CD-R and CD-RW discs that contain MP3 and
WAV audio files.
CAUTION
8cm CDs cannot be used. If an 8cm CD is inserted, it will au-
tomatically be ejected. During ejection, if it stops at a place
where it cannot be removed, press and hold the EJECT but-
ton.
Precautions for use

back.
0
If fingerprints or dust adhere to the signal recording side of
a disc, wipe gently with a soft dry cloth from the center to-
wards the outside edge.
0
Dirt on discs can lower the sound quality, so clean them and
always store them in a clean state.
0
Do not use any record spray, anti-static solutions, benzene,
paint thinner or other chemical agents to clean CDs as they
could damage the delicate playing surface. It may cause CDs
to become unplayable.
0
Do not apply labels or other materials to discs. Do not use
discs that have had tape, stickers or other materials applied
to their surface. Do not use discs that have sticky residue
from stickers, etc. Such discs could become stuck in the unit
or cause it to malfunction.
0
Never use a commercially available CD stabilizer.
0
Using stabilizers with this player will damage the mechanism
and cause it to malfunction.
0
Do not use cracked discs.
0
Only use circular compact discs. Avoid using non-circular pro-
motional, etc. discs.
0
Copy Control CDs have been sold by several record compa-
nies 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.
Slot loading of discs
1.
As shown in the illustration, hold the disc with the labeled
side up and insert it part way into the slot.
2.
Push the disc in further until just before it disappears. It will
automatically be drawn in to the slot.

cult to push, do not try to force the disc in. Pull the disc out once,
press the EJECT button, and then try inserting it again. (Trying
to force the disc in could damage the unit.)
