T

Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3

Chapter 1 Chapter 2

• Audio CDs / CDGs are divided into “tracks”. A “track” is usually one song on an Audio CD.

Track 1 Track 2 Track 3 Track 4 Track 5

Note :

Numbers identify each title, chapter, and track on a disc. Most discs have these numbers recorded on them, but some do not.

Notes on Unauthorized Discs

You may not be able to play back some DVD discs on this Unit if they were purchased from outside your geographic area or made for business purposes.

Before You Start

Using the Remote Control

Point the Remote Control at the REMOTE SENSOR located on the Unit.

When there is a strong ambient light source, the performance of the infrared REMOTE SENSOR may be degraded, causing unreliable operation.

The recommended effective distance for remote operation is about 16 feet (5 meters).

To install Batteries

1.Open the battery door. 2.Insert two "AA" or UM-3 size batteries.

Battery Replacement

When batteries become weak, the operating distance of the Remote Control is greatly reduced and you will need to replace the batteries.

Notes:

If the Remote Control is not going to be used for a long time, remove the batteries to avoid damage caused by battery leakage corrosion.

Do not mix old and new batteries. Do not mix ALKALINE, standard (CARBON-ZINC) or rechargeable (NICKEL-CADMIUM) batteries.
