CAUTION: Read this before operating your unit
CAUTION
The apparatus is not disconnected from the AC power source so long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the apparatus itself is turned off. To fully insure that the apparatus is indeed fully void if residual power, leave unit disconnected from the AC outlet for at least fifteen seconds.
1. To ensure the finest performance, please read this manual carefully. Keep it in a safe place for future  reference.
2. Install your unit in a cool, dry, clean place – away from windows, heat sources, and too much vibration,  dust, moisture or cold. Avoid sources of hum (transformers, motors). To prevent fire or electrical shock, do  not expose to rain and water.
3. Do not operate the unit upside-down.
4. Never open the cabinet. If a foreign object drops into the set, contact your dealer.
5. Place the unit in a location with adequate air circulation. Do not interfere with its proper ventilation; this will  cause the internal temperature to rise and may result in a failure.
6. Do not use force on switches, knobs or cords. When moving the unit, first turn the unit off. Then gently  disconnect the power plug and the cords connecting to other equipment. Never pull the cord itself.
7. Do not attempt to clean the unit with chemical solvents: this might damage the finish. Use a clean, dry cloth.
8. Be sure to read the “Troubleshooting” section on common operating errors before concluding that your unit  is faulty.
9. This unit consumes a fair amount of power even when the power switch is turned off. We recommend that  you unplug the power cord from the wall outlet if the unit is not going to be used for a long time. This will  save electricity and help prevent fire hazards. To disconnect the cord, pull it out by grasping the plug.  Never pull the cord itself.
10. To prevent lightning damage, pull out the power cord and remove the antenna cable during an electrical  storm.
11. The general digital signals may interfere with other equipment such as tuners or receivers. Move the  system farther away from such equipment if interference is observed.
12. When positioning your equipment, especially regarding speakers or other accessories, avoid positioning  them over areas where they can fall and cause injury to yourself and others.

Please check the copyright laws in your country before recording from records, compact discs, radio, etc. Recording of copyrighted material may infringe copyright laws.

Listening For A Lifetime
Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you’ve just purchased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it’s time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your equipment offers. VocoPro and the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the sound come through loud and clear without annoying blaring or distortion and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level” adapts to a higher volume of sound. So what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.
To establish a safe level:
• Start your volume control at a low setting.
• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.
Once you have established a comfortable sound level:
• Set the dial and leave it there.
• Pay attention to the different levels in various recordings. Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss in the future.
After all, we want you listening for a lifetime. Used wisely, your new sound equipment will provide a lifetime of fun and enjoyment. Since
hearing damage from loud noise is often undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group recommend you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise. This list of sound levels is included for your protection.
Some common decibel ranges:
Level
30 40 50 60 70 80
The following noises can be dangerous under constant exposure:
Level
90 100 120 140 180
Example Quiet library, Soft whispers
Living room, Refrigerator, Bedroom away from traffic Light traffic, Normal Conversation Air Conditioner at 20 ft., Sewing machine Vacuum cleaner, Hair dryer, Noisy Restaurant Average city traffic, Garbage disposals, Alarm clock at 2 ft.
Example Subway, Motorcycle, Truck traffic, Lawn Mower
Garbage truck, Chainsaw, Pneumatics drill Rock band concert in front of speakers Gunshot blast, Jet plane Rocket launching pad

Before Getting Started: Things to Consider
It is very important to read the following instructions prior to starting any installation procedures. Doing so will ensure a correct installation and may save you some time as well.
Protect Against Power Surges
• Connect all external components before you plug any of their power cords into the  wall outlet.
• Turn off the CDG-600RF before you connect or disconnect any cables.
• Make sure all cables are properly grounded.
Protect Components from Overheating
• Don’t block ventilation holes. Arrange any components so that air can circulate freely.
• Don’t stack components.
• If you place the CDG-600RF on a stand, make sure you allow adequate ventilation.
Position Cables Properly to Avoid Audio Interference
• Insert each cable firmly into the designated jack.
• If you place components above the CDG-600RF, route all cables down the side of the  back of the CDG-600RF instead of straight down the middle of the back of the CDG-600RF.
Important Stand and Base Safety Information
Choose the location for your CDG-600RF carefully. If the CDG-600RF is placed on a stand or base, ensure that it is of adequate size and strength to prevent it from being accidentally tipped over, pushed off, or pulled off. This could cause personal injury and/or damage to the CDG-600RF.
