Useful Advice
Do not use your system immediately after transport­ing it from a cold place to a warm place, as condensa­tion may cause the system to malfunction. If moisture forms inside this system, it may not operate properly. To correct the problem, turn off the power and wait about 30 minutes for moisture to evaporate This system is fitted with a laser. To avoid accidents, it is to be opened by qualified technicians only. Never leave the tray open as dust could cover the laser lens and/or the tray could be bumped into acci­dentally Do not place the system near wet areas such as bath­rooms and pool side. Avoid storing the system at humid places or near abnormally heated areas. Power is continuously supplied to the system. To dis­connect power completely, unplug the power cord from the power outlet.
Battery Power
You can insert 6 D-sized alkaline batteries (not supplied) and you can take your stereo just about anywhere. Open the battery compartment door on the bottom of the unit by pressing down on the tab and pulling out the cover. Insert batteries in the bat­tery compartment.(See diagram) Note that the AC
line cord must be unplugged from the jack on the back of the unit to operate on batteries. 3 AA-sized batteries (not supplied) are needed to keep radio sta­tion memory.

What’s so special about this audio CD / MP3 disc player?
Besides traditional audio CDs, this player is meant to play MP3 files encoded on a CD-ROM. You can store up to 12 hours of music on a single disc (at 128kbps). Creating MP3 CDs requires the use of a computer with a CD-R / CD-RW writer and a music management soft­ware (MusicMatch Jukebox recommended). To fully enjoy the functionalities of your MP3 CD player, we recommend you to record your MP3 CD using folders and subfolders.

Maintenance
Disconnect the audio system from the power source before performing any maintenance.
Cleaning
Clean the exterior of the system using a soft dust cloth.
CD Player
CAUTION! This system operates with a laser. It must be opened by only a qualified technician.
Handling CDs
• Do not touch the signal surfaces. Hold CDs by the edges, or by one edge and the hole. Do not affix labels or adhesive tapes to the label surfaces. Do not scratch or damage the label. CDs rotate at high speeds inside the player. Do not use damaged (cracked or warped) CDs.
Cleaning CDs
• Dirty CDs can cause poor sound quality. Always keep CDs clean by wiping them gently with a soft cloth from the inner edge toward the outer perimeter.
• If a CD becomes dirty, wet a soft cloth in water, wring it out well, wipe the dirt away gently, and then remove any water drops with a dry cloth.
• Do not use record cleaning sprays or antistatic agents on CDs. Also, never clean CDs with benzene, thinner, or other volatile solvents which may cause damage to disc surface
CD Lens Care
When your CD lens gets dirty it can also cause the system to output poor sound quality. To clean the lens you will need to purchase a CD lens cleaner which can maintain the output sound quality of your system. For instructions on cleaning the CD lens, refer to the ones accompanying the lens cleaner.
